One of the weakest Spider Man runs in years...it simply repeated in a very rushed way story lines and crossovers from previous years (like Inferno and Gang War) and then added a bunch of incredibly awful "new characters" though I don't know how new you can label spiderman version one million. Quit it with all the variations of Spiderman, we just want regular old Spiderman! It felt like way too many things were happening from issue to issue, stories just don't flow in a normal fashion...so its a bombardment of ideas and situations that we've already seen and have been done better before. The new stuff is not good enough to be memorable.

Enjoyed this story about a secret gambling society, that plays games which determine the fate of humanity. There's all types of players, most of them demons and monsters and there's certain rules to the game, or you die! Loved the world, the lore, the games and the art style! Zamudios art was reminiscent of Mike Mignolas style, playing with light and silhouettes. Recommended for lovers of the magical and the bizarre, the horrifying. Left with an open door to future series, where other games are played and the fate of the world is hanging in the balance?

Loving the concept, basically, we see the story from the zombies point of view. They talk amongst themselves about being a zombie and about eating brains. One of them is Poke, the main character, who suddenly starts hearing his heart beating again! Could he be becoming human again? The artwork by Stipan Morian is amazing, it reminds me of Sam Kieths artwork, so yeah, I kept thinking of The Maxx while reading this one. Loved the first issue, can't wait to see where this one goes.

I loved this series, it felt like an old film noir. It had all the right elements, a detective, a dame in peril, a dangerous city...but all in a world in which all types of monsters live in one city, werewolves, zombies, vampires, mummies all living together but not in peace! The city is L.A. like I'd say. The main character is the classic doomed detective. This comic was like mixing a film noir with an old Universal Monsters movie.

I haven't been enjoying Superman for a while now...too many things happening all at once, jumping from one event to another...where's that story that I can follow and enjoy? Nowhere to be seen, because it's all tied in to something else I am not reading. Great art, but it's all one big mess as far as I'm concerned. Writer really need to have their audiences in mind when coming up with their overly complex stories...don't lose your readers, make sure concepts and ideas are understood...this books too messy for me right now! I stick to it only because I love Superman and hope that it will get better.

I miss the Jason Aaron/Juan Ferreyra team, but I have to say that the new team is starting to grow on me. The artwork by Freddie Williams is top notch, beautiful colors and is actually understandable and the story by Gene Luen has me, I mean, is Master Splinter truly back or is something weird going on? Splinter is back and of course, that alone is exciting, no wonder my local comic shop sold out this issue! We get to see Splinter and the love of his life share the after life and it is explained to us how and why he came back, which presents us with an interesting premise.The story has a few elements in common with say, the Terminator movies, because now Splinter knows how the turtles are going to die and who kills them, so he will attempt (with the help of the turtles of course) to change it. Or can he? This one ends on an awesome cliffhanger! TMNT is one of my favorite books out right now, IDW is consistently picking excellent writing/drawing teams who have been producing some awesome work. I am probably not alone in saying this has been one of the best TMNT runs in a while. Don't mess it up IDW! Keep the level of quality going!
