Brandon 's Profile

As a series - Scott is over the top. This series is ridiculous. Yet I come back each time and I care about the characters. I want to see what happens. This issue has good character work and is a good reprieve from the usual insanity.

Deniz Camp has let the smoke get to his brain. A heavy handed political message that lacks any justification in this book. A total wreck from a writer who must spend more time wrapping blunts than working on plot and pacing.

Kelly Thompson continues to offer up a tremendous series full of twists and turns. Kelly's run on Birds of Prey was criminally bad. But this is like a different person all together. It's damn good. Bravo.

Kelly Thompson continues her awesome run on this book. Putting out banger after banger. Each time it has a lull she hits a home run the next issue. Well done Kelly. This new take on zatana is very fun. Great character design and Kelly respects her audiences intelligence enough not to spoon feed us exposition.

Truth is for years, Kelly Thompson was a name I dreaded seeing on a title. For me -Her Captain Marvel was awful, The Birds of prey also just too campy and stupid. Now here we are 17 issues into an amazing run. In fact shes up against Synder, and Aaron writing Batman and Superman. Kelly is holding her own if not besting them each month. Kelly maybe wasn’t the right fit for those previous titles, but Kelly Thompson was born to write this character. Absolute Wonder Woman has been a title I look forward to every month. Hands down one of the best if not the best title from the entire absolute line so far. Some issues are slower than others but overall the series is fantastic. This annual is no different. Kelly continues to build a character thats powerful, compassionate and someone we all admire. Diana puts her life on the line with no hesitation because it could help someone else. She does so with Medusa in this issue putting her in jeopardy with the Gods but Diana doesn’t care. It’s the right thing to do. To right a wrong at any cost and that is just something missing from most comics. Actual friggin Hero’s being Hero’s. Mattia De Juli’s art is a visual treat. We don’t deserve him, he’s on a level that brings Kelly’s awesome story to another level. I don’t want to say Hayden is bad as the art is quite good ,but this is insanity. The Athena splash page is something to behold. Have Mattia full time. Please. Give him a raise. Whatever it takes. The only issues I had with the book are it’s heavy on the dialogue at times and that can drag down the pacing a bit. But something this good overall with a simple story? Come on. Who cares? I owe Kelly an apology. Not everyone can nail every character they get put on. But this Absolute Wonder Woman is Kelly just showing off now. And I’m loving it.

Frank tieri has outdone himself on this entire series. The pacing , the heroics all of it just works. We get some fantastic art as well. After the huge letdown that was all of the Predator kills series and Predator vs , finally we get yet another alien series that delivers the goods. Hickman nailed it on avengers aliens. And this book is no different. Hats off to the team on this one. I can’t wait to see what comes next. Buy this series.

I love Spiderman. thats why I continue to buy this series despite the nonstop #1s and gimmicks over the last years. Joe Kelly has lost the plot of his own book and this issue is rushing at a pace that the flash may struggle to keep up with. The JR JR art is hideous and it's long past time to retire. This book has let me down so much. I dont care about Norman or the Goblin Slayer army. it's enough of the Spiderman family also. We have too many Spider people and sadly we maybe need Knull to come kill 90% of them off.

This comic reads like it's missing pages while having pages added in from another story. Bruce gets a date and it goes nowhere with zero payoff. A new villain is introduced that I'm into. The idea that this guy has gained control of gothams criminal world and Batman knew nothing is ridiculous. Like the court of owls this rehash keeps happening to Batman and undermines him. Just tell a single story. It would have served the book better. The overall story felt positive and interesting and the art is absolutely amazing.

Let's get this right out in the open- I love the X-men. I grew up reading them and ever since Hickman left the X-men have been in deep decline. Krakoa was largely a mess and from the ashes is a disaster. when almost all the books in the relaunch are canceled I know I'm not alone in this thinking. I want good X-men books. So far this hasn't happened and this book doesn't turn that around. We get essentially 3 different stories in this that barely connect. the Excessive exposition is clunky and just bad. Scott is highly unlikeable as the main star of his own book. Do I view him as a military commander or a survivor with repressed memories? Scott is once again back on this authoritarian nonsense that was never present to this degree in past X-men books. Antionio's art jumps between semi competent to unfinished sketches. The whole premise of Scott losing his visor is cool and that makes me interested in the next issue. Not the characters or plot. it's not the worst new X book i've read this month in a sea of bad X-men everything , thats Storm. but thats not high praise.

This book has great art. I was really excited for this match up. I liked the idea of Superman always wanting to be the good guy.round 1 pretty cool. Round 2 begins the downfall as the issue becomes an absolutely jumbled mess. Superman himself can't explain it nor can the writer. It just happens and we move on. Awful ending And ruined the story for me. Huge let down.

What can be said about this book... I'll start with this. Jeremy Adams is a normally fantastic, fun writer. I love his run on Green lantern and Aquaman. When he is left alone to flesh out stories and ideas he thrives. But he leans into bad ideas and past mistakes in an effort to make it better. Sometimes it's best left alone. This is an idea that DC editorial came to him with and most likely said " make this cool" it was impossible. This book is a bait and switch. No battle with the Absolute universe takes places. At all. If I ruined it for you -sorry but I spared you. Do not buy this book. It offers nothing. In fact it's less than nothing except a shameless cash grab of $4.99. Ohh Superman vs home lander yeah we get maybe 3 panels of it. Subzero. Red Sonya. All here. Barely. Like I mentioned at the beginning- Jeremy had a task that he should have walked away from. But he leans into it. And it's really bad. Shame on you DC. This deserved negative scores but this site doesn't allow it.awful plot. Decent art. And the promise of a epic battle that is immediately snatched from the reader like some crap WWE booking.

DC K.O promised a giant battle of cool fights. The main title K.O book has largely delivered. It has been the most consistent and enjoyable while almost all of the spin off books are a mess or mid with 1-2 exceptions. K.O #4 starts out with how Boss battle should have, a battle with the Absolute Universe.We were never going to get ate because DC has comics to sell. However, that would have left way more time to actually flesh this story out way more so it didn't feel so insanely rushed. We get 35 pages of a story this is barely able to contain what's happening. Key moments that should be impactful are pushed past completely with another panel that overshadows it. Scott has the habit of going too huge and grand in his storytelling like he did in Metal and death metal that it can be eye rolling. The story here is very much that...It's eye rolling. But at its core is the book still enjoyable? sure it is. and the art is nicely done with only a few panels that are confusing to understand. This issue ends on another cliff hanger which Synder is so good at doing.... Making you comeback to see the next chapter in his insane grand story and putting down your $. this story has been mid and confusing but the book is dumb fun. I'm ok with that.

First off, I'll say the Dan mora art is beautiful. The pages pop and are full of action that is well laid out. The book ends with what we all knew was going to happen and it's semi satisfying.Now for the bad stuff... How many times are we going to be revisiting the story of "does the world still need a Batman, batman fighting grown up versions of Robin, can Batman be happy? Over and over. The writing of Batman has become so insanely one dimensional it could drive one to madness. Maybe we could revisit Batman in crime alley for the 900th time or talking to his parents. The book isn't bad, I've just seen it before countless times and I'm so tired of a take on the same story. Overall did Joshua Williamson tell a fun story in Knightfight? sure. its good and looks gorgeous. But if you've read Batman anything over the last 30 years you're tired of this same old.

I maintain that this book is not a hulk comic, it's just a Lovecraftesque horror comic. Overall it's interesting and the art is pretty mid. The constant fill in artists on Hulk bother me as Nic is really fantastic and this is a huge downgrade . I'm still coming back and buying it as the plot with Bruce and Betty was very interesting. Betty's decline was jarring to see as well as Bruce turning down helping the other heroes.We see no Infernal Hulk in the entire issue except on tvs as the plot moves along also the " starring Ironman " is a gimmick. he's in 5 panels. As I mentioned if you are a hulk fan, this book will not be for you-but if you want a good monster story- this fits the bill.

I like the writer. I like the character. What happened ?? How was this book such a bore ? Man what a bummer. Tony doesn't even appear till 10 pages in and he's highly unlikable. What a missed opportunity here from a writer who is talented enough to do way better. The art is very mid as well.

Great character and I'm happy to have the original Betsy back in a comic but if I wanted to rehashed continuity blast I'll do it the right way and read classic X-men. At least then I got Art Adam's covers. Book is so wordy and just who asked for this story ? When X-men are the worst they have ever been ... you put this out ? Try again.

David Pepose has barely written anything that I've enjoyed. I’m just being honest.The Savage Avengers was trash and Joe Garrison Punisher… was an abomination. Maybe he didnt have much of a say on those But this Space ghost series has been stellar. I love every bit of what he’s done here. In fact I rush to read each issue once I buy it. it's that compelling and Laus art is a perfect compliment to it. The story pulls at the heart strings well enough and the Space Ghost crew faces huge odds and each time comes out ahead. These last few issues with the Anti Matter man have been really well done. Our hero’s prevail but at what cost. Read it to find out and also Buy this series. It’s Worth it. David hasn’t showcased an unlocked talent like Kelly Thompson has on her tremendous WW run as his Cable Love and Chrome was very Mid and Captain Planet equally mid but he’s on the right track.

Just look at the amount of people who even write reviews for this garbage title.No ones reading it. no ones buying it. I got a damaged copy for 50% off from my store based on morbid curiosity . This is the final issue of a terrible series. We get Nazis with Gumby arms that are really just bodies full of cockroaches. yup. this is Erik Larsen at his worst. Such a talented artist at one time, who let his once great Savage Dragon title slip into disarray. Time to Hang it up Erik and back into obscurity you go.

awesome art. great story. fun read. really showcasing that Superman is in good hands with these 2 creators.

I've loved this series and look forward to it each month. But this issue missed the mark. It's plagued by being a tie in book. Scattered plot with the Superman Robot. Book is just not good.

a near perfect issue. bravo.

If I could rate this a negative score I would. The mad hatter crapping himself , the awful dialogue throughout the book. It's Tom King at his worst. A nothing book that doesn't move the story forward except into the toilet.

Jonathan Hickman wants to write anything other than a book featuring Spider-Man. The title character has been barely in the book for much of the series and when he is featured... it's not doing any heroics. Spider-Man has not thrown a single punch since issue #18 in a single panel. Let that sync in. If Hickman wants to world build , write D&D guides or a story with dinners and side quests etc he should do that and not waste my $ with a Non Spider-Man book. Give me the title character in a book with stakes.

The book begins with Deadpool hiding inside the ass of a Cow. if that interests you then you may like this book. I don't mind gross or even childish humor. I still laugh at fart jokes. but this book is just a poor mans version of the Deadpool movies. This is not the Character you read from Rob , Fabian , Kelly or even Wade. The book is just nonstop stuff happening with Blood and gore. the reasoning ... just because. We finally get a story premise beginning to emerge at the final pages but its too little too late. This type of book was done way better in the Lobo Cancellation special. sorry Ben but this didn't land.

Tom King gives into all his worst impulses. Jumping around to story parts he feels like telling with no justification, tearing down other characters to prop up his own, and of course complete mischaracterizations of the actual title character. This book is rotten.
