Jesus walked on water and performed miracles. Santa is a mutant in Marvel. To someone back then, he would have been perceived as a mutant.

Been very busy with school but hopefully more reviews soon! I picked up some of my books from the last few weeks today.
This issue was obviously a dialogue heavy build to things to come. Rainbow Rowell is great at building up a cast of characters that we care about and I am certain many of the interactions throughout this issue will pay off later. We see a lot of time spent between Jack and She-Hulk and I love the two's dynamic in this issue. Additionally, Bartel is an excellent artist and brings a fun feel to this more
She-Hulk #3
Jack of Hearts is back, and it's up to She-Hulk to help him figure out why.
But Jack may be the key to figuring out something that has been chasing her since 1989.
In the meantime - A SMASHING RETURN! GUEST STARS! AND THE FUNNIEST, SEXIEST BOOK ON THE STANDS!
RATED T+
This was another well-done issue. It focused primarily on the action of Deathstroke's assault on Titans Academy. I loved the Green Lantern content at the end of the issue and the art continues to be solid.
Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #2
THE HOUSE OF NIGHTWING BURNS! As the good people of the world mourn the loss of the Justice League, the forces of evil have seized the opportunity to wreak havoc in a world without its heroes! Leading the charge is a super-powered Slade Wilson...but this time there's something dark fueling his rage. With a massive army laying siege to Titans Tower,...
Really enjoyed this second issue! The art and designs are beautiful. The coloring of this book makes it look zany and fun and dynamic. It serves to give the book a very fun vibe overall. In terms of story, this issue helped to begin assembling the titular Jurassic League while also building upon the Robin & Batman dynamic and giving us more insight into our villains. I loved the inclusion of Atroc more
Jurassic League #2
Bizzarosaur has invaded Supersaur's home village, and now the super-powered sauropod must defend his home and the humans who have raised him since his arrival on Earth. But will he be strong enough to defeat this strange foe, or will he need the help of Wonderdon and Batsaur, who are both converging on his location? A whole new Trinity assembles fo...
Another fun collection of short stories!
Marvel's Voices: Pride (2022) #1
Hot off a GLAAD Award nomination for 2021's anthology, MARVEL'S VOICES: PRIDE returns for a jam-packed celebration of LGBTQI+ characters and creators! New York Times-bestselling, multi-award-winning author Charlie Jane Anders introduces a new hero to the Marvel Universe - and it won't be the last you see of them. Get in on the ground floor here! IR...
A strong start to DC's next big event makes legacy the star of the show. Cape comics can be an impenetrable hobby due to the shear amount of canon and baggage attached. It can be overwhelming and stories too steeped in canon can be slogs to read, especially for anyone who is not caught up, which is virtually most people who don't read and write comic books for a living. Joshua Williamson is one of more
Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #1
Crisis on Infinite Earths. Infinite Crisis. Final Crisis. And now...Dark Crisis! The epic event years in the making is finally here! Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and the rest of the Justice League are dead. The remaining heroes are left to protect the world from an onslaught of violent attacks by DC's greatest villains! Can the legacy heroes ste...
This shit is dumb and I adore it. The art and inks are beautiful and the story is fun and light so far. I dug this first issue.
Jurassic League #1
You know the story: an infant escapes the destruction of its home planet and is deposited on Earth to be raised by human parents. A goddess from a lost city defends truth. A Tyrannosaurus rex dons the visage of a bat to strike fear into evildoers' hearts. This heroic trinity, alongside a league of other super-powered dinosaurs, join forces to save ...
I think I prefer #10 but this series is hitting the point where we seem to be reaching the climax of the Bendix arc.
Superman: Son of Kal-El #11
Jonathan Kent has faced many challenges in his life as both Superman and a Super Son, but what will the first son of the Last Son of Krypton do in the face of...metahuman bombs? Jon faces a deadly decision and Lex Luthor's alliance with President Bendix deepens in this penultimate chapter of The Rising Saga!
This was a fantastic issue that really showed off the badassery of Lois Lane. Taylor obviously has immense respect for Lois Lane as a character and I absolutely dig it. I miss Timm's artwork but Tormey is not too shabby. This issue has a lot of highlights and a cliffhanger I am unsure about but I am interested to see how this story progresses.
Superman: Son of Kal-El #10
Henry Bendix's plans are now clear. Gamorra's president won't stop until he has total control. He's now sold his strategy to other dangerous regimes. Only Superman and his allies stand in the way of Bendix's dark vision for the world...a world where superheroes are put in their place, discredited, and even destroyed. A world where heroes are replac...
Not a big fan of the whole disparaging Jesus thing

IN THE QUIET COUNCIL, NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM!

You and the many other reviews on this site I have interacted with that are just like you.

I really enjoyed! These anthologies are always very exciting for me because it allows me to read about characters I usually might not pick up and read the work of writers or artists I may be unaware of. Marvel Voices does this well. Women of Marvel does this well. I felt as though the Black Cat stories sometimes felt disjointed but overall this was an enjoyable group of stories. I recommend pickin more

I think this may be my favorite issue of this series so far. This issue is written, drawn, and inked beautifully. It features great twists and turns and dialogue. And it allows us to see a dark side of Moon Knight before we prepare for what seems to be the ultimate clash against Zodiac. I love this book.
Moon Knight #10
An assassin infiltrates the Midnight Mission, while another hidden enemy strikes at Moon Knight where he is most vulnerable. Attacked on two fronts, the Fist of Khonshu is put on the back foot-but that's where he's most dangerous!
RATED T+
The Black Cat segments are the best, though theyre disjointed throughout the anthology in a way that I don't worked as well as they thought it was going to.
Some interesting moments scattered throughout focusing on characters that currently don't have ongoings. Marvel Woman are really top notch aren't they, Strange, Silk, She-Hulk, Spider-Woman, Ms Marvel are all having strong runs right now

This was a beautiful issue due to Schmidt's art and inks. The story was pretty good and allowed a lot of players in this story to come together.
DC vs. Vampires #4
Batman has confirmed who in the Justice League has been turned into a vampire...but can he make his move before the Justice League is turned against him? It's hero versus hero in this blood-drenched chapter...with clues to who the new Vampire King might be!
This was a very strong second issue. I was not super impressed by #1 but this was a strong follow up. The art and narrative both flowed really well.
She-Hulk #2
One of the most dangerous things in the Marvel U lands in Jen Walters' lap, and she's got to figure out what the heck to do with it.
And that's all while putting her life and career back together.
Rated T+
The story of this issue is amazing. The art did not initially work for me but the sequences towards the end, especially the final fight, work very well artistically.
Devil's Reign: Moon Knight #1
Look for more information on this title in future issues of Marvel Previews.
Okay but where did that other lollipop come from?
Superman: Son of Kal-El #9
Superman/Nightwing crossover part 2 of 2! Nightwing promised Clark Kent that while he's off-planet, Nightwing would look after Clark's son, Jon, as he tries to fill his father's shoes as Superman. But with someone out there murdering superpowered people, is Nightwing in over his head? Read Nightwing #89 (in stores 2/15/22) for part 1 of this crosso...
Now THIS style of crossover, in my opinion, is the lifeblood of shared universe superhero comics. I love how this developed two characters, Jon and Dick, while also advancing The Rising arc currently unfolding in Jon's book. This reminded me of the style of crossover I used to read as a kid when The Punisher would pop up in the Ghost Rider book for a couple of issues. Absolutely no hate to big eve more

An improvement upon the Rebirth one shot for this book. The status of the Red Lanterns is odd but they are a set of characters I always love to see utilized.
Green Lanterns #1
"RED PLANET" chapter one
New Lanterns Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz promised to protect others in brightest day or blackest night, but as "Red Planet" begins to rise, the partners find themselves confronted with a unimaginable threat from Bleez and the Red Lanterns!

I am so sick of white heroes being replaced by those of other races. Marvel's position in the culture wars sickens me.
