Synthozoid's Profile

Despite the constraints of a crappy crossover, it's not bad.

Fun stuff.

Fantastic! I would have liked to have seen more of The Bat in this issue though.

Bought this because of stellar reviews. Did not enjoy it😑

Bendis finally came with help from Jurgens.

Happy to see the characters on the last page!

Funny and honest.

Not as good as the first issue, but still entertaining.

This series started as a madcap romp and turned into one big apology. Bummer. I hope Robinson feels some catharsis after writing this and turns in some awesome scripts for his upcoming books with Marvel. And I'd love to see more Saviors!

I liked this a lot. Not much happens, but Luna and Vaughn paint a vivid picture of their world. This issue sets the tone for a promising new series. I'll be back for sure.

Minimalism at its finest.

Reads like a Kubrick film. Can't wait to re-read this when the arc is complete.

It's friggin' fantastic. If you enjoyed the movie "Her," this is right up your alley. No whiz-bang super-hero action, but thoughtful Isaac Asimov level sci-fi. Don't miss this! At least get the trade in a couple months.

Very brief but still great.

A great series that will surely read better as a collection. Each issue is like watching 5 minutes of a great movie.

Loving the slow burn. Not for everyone, but I dig it.

Big changes!

Sad to see this series end. Get all the trades!

Feature story was great, backup was a snooze.

Simple, but great fun.

Good, but they could have stretched out the Vision plot over several more issues.

A crummy commercial. They forgot to include "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine."

Pretty darn good, but I could do without Nomad. And please no Batroc, worst villain ever. Artwork is beautiful though.

Bought this on a whim. Fun and funny, worth 4 bucks.

Brubaker made me a huge fan of the Original Human Torch in his Marvels Project. Really enjoyed his return here.

I'm not understanding the low scores for this book. Great artwork, old school super-heroing, what's not to like?

The best issue yet.

This was great, especially since solo Wolverine books are usually terrible. It was a quick and fun read, but FIVE BUCKS?!? Entertainment at a buck a minute is too steep for me,

This book made me sad. Hard to believe this is Peter David. Very generic and boring.

I really want to like this, but I do not. The characters' costumes are so similar, it's hard to tell them apart. Their faces don't look that different. So far the book has no heart, unlike the last incarnation of X-Factor. Hard to believe this is the same writer. Two obvious typos. Anyone proof-read?

Huge improvement from the last issue, Two surprise characters show up and a plot is finally taking shape. Unfortunately, the artwork still smells.

I didn't like this relaunch at first, but it works really well now. I've never cared about "Danger," but David makes her interesting.

Time for a plot.

Whoa. This was a real steaming pile from Bendis. The artwork is pretty, but come one BMB, you can do better. Your Uncanny from last week was great, but this really smells.

Some nice artwork here, pretty boring script though.

Purifiers are boring. Next!

Watching young Jean and Scott bicker for many pages is not interesting. Nice art, but a swing and a miss from Bendis. Jean Grey is abducted to stand trial for crimes she will/has already/might possibly commit as Phoenix. You just saved 4 bucks.

I'm getting a little tired of the time-displaced X-Men, but I'm loving the extra screen time for the GotG.

As we get to part 5 of 6, we should be on the edge of our seats. We're not.

I liked it. Wraps up a lot of stuff from Battle of the Atom. Angel's on a bike to take X-23 on a date, she doesn't want to be carried.

I enjoyed this issue until I was reminded that they need to READ THE F@#%ING WILL ALREADY!!!

Somehow, this book has a flash-sideways.

This issue will give you a headache if you think about the time travel mixed with dimension jumping. Really bad choice to have a "flash-sideways" like this. Please undo this Bendis!

Enjoyable read except for Clash.

Untangling the knots of the Anna Maria storyline is proving to be very interesting. Electro is a big ol' snooze-fest.

The main feature was great. I like the new premise. The crappy back-ups were a waste of ink and paper.

The villains are a snooze. Please bring back any of Spidey's rogues.

Better than the last issue, still not very interesting.

10 bucks?!? I hate to say it, but John Byrne was right, this story is poo. Miles Morales is my Spider-man for now.

Just OK.

MJ and the kid are hardly in it.

I think I will enjoy this series after I forget the lazy way they brought Nightcrawler back from the dead. Great art and good story (lame resurrection aside).

Good times!

I enjoyed it. Big time nostalgia factor going for it, but not a good jumping on point.

I loved this out of nostalgia for the 80's cartoon. Not sure if young readers will like it though.

A little too much time spent on recap, but besides that, great writing, great artwork, and sufficient creepiness.

Friggin' scary!

Great script, great concept, went by too quickly. LOVED IT!

It was just OK, not interesting enough to get me to buy #2.

This used to be my favorite DC book. Can we just see this guy be Animal Man and use his powers? The red/green/rot stuff is getting really tired. Great art though!

We have been wandering the Red for many many issues. Maxine has been trying to bring back Cliff for many many issues. Thankfully, Animal Man used his powers for the first time in a long while.

A summary of the whole series, and a painful reminder of how great the series was in the beginning followed by its slow decent into laboriousness. Lemire got so caught up in the Red, he forgot that things need to happen in comic books. At least one thing per issue.

Clever writing, great artwork, everything I love about reading comic books.

Fantastic.

Fun book, bummer ending though.

Not bad, not quite worth five bucks though.

This was a solid first issue. I’ll be back for #2.

Mixed bag here. Nice artwork, but the book depends on the jokes working, and they mostly do not work. However, the jokes that work are very funny. Conflicted about buying #2.

This was hilarious. Super goofy and fun. Alex De Campi makes it work.

Just OK.

If only Allred's brilliant artwork had a half decent script to accompany it. The story is whimsical tripe.

Not Spencer's best, still very good

I can't remember enjoying an X-book this much since Whedon's run on Astonishing.

A labor to get through.

Multiverse? Zzz...

I'm starting to wonder if Hickman can write an issue without using the words "temporal" or "atemporal."

Please stop using the words "temporal" and "atemporal."

Progress! One "temporal" but no "atemporal." Hickman, for real dude, lay off the time travel and multiverse jumping for ONE FRIGGIN' ISSUE. Let the Avengers fight Ultron or something. Let someone crack a joke. Make with the fun.

No "temporal" or "atemporal" in this issue. Some funny moments. HOLY COW, I ACTUALLY LIKED THIS BOOK!!!

IN 7 MONTHS... Hickman will be off this book. Hallelujah!

Disappointing conclusion to the arc.

I was ready to drop this book after the opening arc, but this one-shot is damn good. I get that the characters are supposed to be super smart, but they predict modern English in 1,000,000 B.C.? Aaron could have found a work-around. Oh well, still really fun.

The artwork is great (the face thing doesn't bother me), the team lineup is interesting, and the script mostly works. Aaron seems to be writing in the style of the MCU, especially for Thor and Black Panther. I actually like this. My only complaint is the dialogue for Hulk (formerly She-Hulk), I wish Aaron didn't write her to be such a twit.

Great artwork, great script, fun book!

The humor here is corny to say the least. I'm afraid this not really going anywhere, just a jokey, smashy romp. If that sounds fun, you might dig it.

The conclusion seems to have very little to do with the story arc that got us here.

Oh, infinite sadness! I really wanted to like this, but the art is sloppy and the writing is in serious need of an editor with common sense.

Best issue so far

Yowza! A huge step backwards.

Total poop.

Continued descent into mediocrity. I can't resist buying a book that features Vision, even if it is terrible.

A lot goes on, but nothing happens.

This issue reads so much better if you read #1-3 in one sitting. The fast pace gets broken up to much if you wait a while between issues. It also helps if you catch up on Zdarsky’s Cap run to learn about Coulton, a major player in this series. The artwork and writing are quite enjoyable.

The best issue yet. Beautiful artwork and brisk pacing. I only wish I had avoided spoilers for the big reveal.

This book really smells. No Batgirl here, just a young Babs in a generic story that gives us no insight into the character. This is a fill-in, nothing more. Bring back Gail Simone ASAP or I am done with Batgirl.

Not bad at all.

Not the farewell I had hoped for. Sad face.

It's a big eff-ewe to longtime fans and shameless pandering to a desired audience that will never set foot in a comic shop.

Wow. This was just amazing. Pricey (7 bucks, ouch!), but worth it. A nice long read with a solid story. Snyder is dependable as always.

Great book, but I'm not sure how they justify the jacked up price.

Loved it. Artwork was a little rough, but the story is gold.

Good, but not the greatness Snyder is capable of.

"Killing Joke" level greatness.

Beautiful artwork and a love letter to Zzzzzzzzzz.... Remember when Batman was a detective?

King is a proven talent with other titles. Is he having an intern ghostwrite this? Great artwork though!

if you're a fan of his writing you are in for a real treat. if you're not a fan, best stay away. there's a lot to keep up with. and you'd better read it slow and carefully.

Loved it.

I usually skip annuals. I should have skipped this. A one-shot of no consequence.

I enjoyed this. Clever turn at the end.

Welcome to the "Let's $h!t on Tom King" homepage so glad you could join us. All of your favorite reviewers are here to squeeze out a hot deuce on the comic that they supposedly paid money for, even though they have hated every issue for the past two years. Would you like a review? I'm sorry we only drop deuces over here. There are possibly professional critics on this website, but ignore them. Pay attention to the guys taking dumps, it's much more fun.

Great fun from start to finish. I’ll be back for the full run.

Pretty darn good. But the Shrek reference was a WTF moment.

The artwork is great but the stories are super short and don’t go anywhere.

Although I did enjoy it, I can’t see myself buying 24 comics to get the full story.

Doesn’t quite have the spark of the original Gotham Central, but still enjoyable.

DC delivers a satisfying package of story/artwork without gettting too nutty. I felt a little shafted by the price tag, but It was worth it to not read about some cockamamie crossover.

I really want to like this, but I don't. One more issue and it's curtains!

Best issue so far.

A half-decent series takes a detour through poop-town.

It was fine, but it went by too quickly, about 90 seconds of entertainment.

Just blasted through the first two issues. Loved it!

Surprisingly great. I bought this issue on a whim and now I'm a subscriber.

Impressive!

KSD is killing it!

Perfect.

The first issue of BP that does not work. This reads and looks like fan-fic.

So glad to have this series back!

See that sexy lady on the cover? Yeah, she's not in this book. If you like serpentine demonic penis raping, this book is for you. If you like anything close to normal, skip this.

A great first issue, Scott's work has improved quite a bit, Rucka starts a fun ride. It felt short though.

Very nice.

Fantastic!

I bought this because of the mention of Brubaker/Phillips in the teaser. Not even close.

Good, but getting bogged down in phony politics, a la Attack of the Clones.

One helluva TV script, one terrible comic book script.

A nice one and done story. Great art. A cliffhanger would have been nice.

Beautiful artwork and economical done-in-one storytelling. I'd like to see these issues tie together in some way in the future. We have had a few epilogues with the cat and the neighbor, not enough.

45 wonderful seconds of entertainment.

I'm enjoying the hell out of this book. Waid and Samnee do a great job playing with the pacing for action sequences.

Great. This went by too fast.

I really wanted to like this, but it is goes so hardcore into anything-goes type fantasy, I'm out. Nice artwork.

I'm new to Bloodshot, but this seemed like a good jumping on point. Script was OK but the artwork was beautiful, especially the coloring, hyper-realistic images.

Nothing really wrong with it, but I'm not interested enough to buy #2.

Great 1st issue.

Big letdown after a great first issue. It's a retreading of a worn out storyline.

I liked it but I would prefer a New Gods book from Allred instead. Can't see this lasting more than 6 issues.

Action-packed with stunning artwork.

Not what I expected from a Cap book, but I'm digging what Spencer is doing here. Nice change of pace for Cap.

I haven't enjoyed Cap this much since Brubaker's run.

The political message could have been delivered more artfully.

The main story is alright, but the backup: WTF?

If you look at the cover, you've read the comic. Galactus shows up and the Ultimates are concerned, The End. The writing is fine, but I have a big problem with the artwork. How big does Galactus look on the cover? 20 feet tall? This is a problem throughout the book. Bagley does not know how to convey the massive scale of the character. Bendis does a fine job, but you will read this book in 5 minutes tops. Not enough substance for 4 bucks.

Not sure why this is a mini-series, it reads like a direct continuation of the main series. I enjoyed it, great artwork and dialog. Please don't kill Miles or send him to the 616!

This sucked. And I'm a bleeding heart liberal.

There is a fine line between fun and corny. This book has taken a giant leap into corn country.

Millar trying to sell another idea to Hollywood. This movie has already been made a dozen times. Nice artwork though.

This looked like typical nihilistic crap (every Garth Ennis book from Avatar, anyone?) when I flipped through a few pages at the store. I passed. After seeing all the great reviews I went back and bought it. I enjoyed it. Surprisingly, there's a story here. Unfortunately, the art is still Avatar style.

A total re-hash of Civil War, just replacing Speedball with a random Inhuman. And I usually like Bendis. Frowny face. The artwork is great though.

I really enjoyed this. If you like Bendis in general, you will like it, if not, move along. My only complaint is the focus on Inhumans instead of mutants. Inhumans are boring as f. Please stop trying to make Inhumans replace mutants.

Pretty terrible, and I like Bendis. That cliffhanger about She-Hulk? No info. Jim Rhodes is still dead. Iron Man is still mad. The end.

Derivative of Lovecraft, but if that's your thing, you'll probably dig it. A lot happens in this one issue, could have been spread over 12.This is Simone stretching out of her comfort zone into super-weird, could have been great, but it's just OK.

Huge improvement over the first issue. This is more focused yet still weird and scary. I enjoyed it.

Too much gore for me. Is this Vertigo or Avatar?

Uh-oh. It's starting to wander, I'm worried.

The Scientology allusions are more overt, and it really works. The gore is over the top for me, but this is very clever writing.

Not terrible, just unoriginal and not intriguing enough to warrant a purchase of number two. A similar premise was done very well by Ken Garing in Planetoid, and Bitch Planet by KSD is currently knocking it out of the park.

As a fan of the mid 80s BATO, this was a kick to read. Still avoiding the main Convergence series. The crossover references here had me throwing up in my mouth a little. This is DC saying, remember this fun book? You're having a good time reading it, right? YOINK! SUCKER! You get a reboot! And you get a reboot! And you get a reboot! Still liked the homage to the old series, worth 4 bucks. But seriously DC, eff u in the a.

Old guys talk. JSA appears on the last page.

Two very short stories that don’t have enough pages to go anywhere. Not funny or scary. I’m disappointed!

Stunning work as always from Brubaker and Phillips.

Love this creative team. This reminds me of Ascender and that’s a very good thing.

Impulse buy, an Image #1, it was fine, didn't interest me enough to purchase #2.

There was good word of mouth on social media about Cult-de-sac so I decided to check it out. Wow! What a clever premise, so simple but nobody but Bunn has thought to do this. It helps going in if you have dealt with overbearing HOAs with insane demands and crackpot theories. Tension builds quickly over this brisk read but the flashes of horror are saved for the end. My only complaint is that is over so quickly.

I’m loving this series. Can’t wait for the next issue!

Surprisingly great

A damn fine comic book.

Best X-book going. Bummer that Rucka is leaving.

Perfect!

Loved it!

I love the Purple Man, and I have a feeling the Purple Kids are going to be my new FAAAvorite (any Stern fans out there?). Every issue reminds me how good super-hero comics can be. Thank you Mr. Waid!!!

I'm lovin' it.

The story is average, but the artwork is glorious.

Great arc! Stephanie Phillips is a talented writer.

Enjoyable.

The first issue from Phillips’ run that was a disappointment. Nothing much happens.

Surprisingly great. Hit a bunch of nostalgia buttons for me, AND I can't wait to see wait happens next. Hard to pull off. My only gripe is the changing artists. Just have Romita draw the whole thing.

It's a decent book, but I don't feel compelled to buy the next issue.

BATMANIUM?!?!?!?!? I'm out. Nice artwork though.

I'm a bleeding heart liberal and I thought this was pretty boring.

Very enjoyable. If only Johns could write all of the new series that this will launch. Too bad DC only has a few decent writers.

I really enjoyed this. It's a straightforward vigilante story, not incredibly original, but incredibly fun. I'll stick around for #2!

The least crappy Secret Wars book.

I really enjoyed the regular part of the issue. However... Can the crappy filler in the back really be called "bonus material" if we're paying an extra buck for it?

Great art, but the non-fight with Creed was a bummer.

This book is near-perfect.

The short stories were just OK, but the longer "Gothtopia" part by Layman was fantastic. Surprised that Snyder's story was not good at all.

I love Manapul's style, but it's a strange fit for Batman. A little too pretty and sunny. The story is "meh." I'm hoping for an intriguing mystery in the future, so far we don't have one.

This is a lot of people standing around talking. It seems like action is coming next issue but the jury’s still out on whether I will return for it.

It’s weird but enjoyable. Great artwork!

Way too many ideas have been thrown together here. Sadly, it's a convoluted mess.

I was enjoying this series, but this ending seemed abrupt.

Fantastic artwork, story just OK.

I love the artwork from Ramos. But the script, yeesh. Old Wolverine and young Jean should be dead in this timeline, but they're not, how could this happen?!? Zzzzzzz......

I'm mesmerized by Ramos' art, but the script is poop.

The artist has a hard time filling in for Ramos and no one cares about Weird World.

May-day! May-day! This book is crashing like the Hindenburg. Bring back Ramos STAT. Or anyone willing to draw backgrounds, Despite the credit here, the interiors are NOT by Ramos.

I really want to like this. Ramos and Lemire are both great, just not with this title. Can we please have a decent X-title to buy on a regular basis? There hasn't been one since Remender's X-Force run.

An intriguing first issue, I'll be back.

Robinson nails it.

A depressing labor to get through. Nice artwork though.

Just OK.

A beautiful send-off for the FF.

I liked the comic, but 6 bucks is ridiculous.

Great artwork, mediocre script. I hope that the Future Foundation, especially the Richards kids, get written out of this series soon.

The script is clunky and the artwork is not up to par with Ramos’ past work.

It's already hard to take the "death" of a character seriously, but when it's the "death" of character created just for this series... yawn. Unless something astounding happens by issue 7, I'm done with DC event books for good.

Surprisingly good

Stunning!

Great script, great artwork. I thoroughly enjoyed this issue.

Part slice of life, part crime, part nonsensical horror. Aimless and ugly. After the last page, I dropped Gasolina straight into la basura.

Beautiful artwork, but skippable.

Great artwork, compelling setup, I'm interested in seeing what happens next.

Very good, but it doesn't quite live up to the promise of last issue's ending. We get another cliffhanger here. Will the next issue be worth the wait? I hope so.

Well paced, exciting, best book out.

Keeping up the quality. Love it.

It's excellent. Minus 1 because it's over.

Fantastic!

It's OK, but I'm not intrigued enough to buy #2.

Classic Morrison. His best work since All Star Superman. Similar in tone to Slott's Silver Surfer, but much weirder.

The script is light on substance, but Maguire hit this one out of the park with his beautiful artwork. Why isn't Maguire on an A-list book full time?

Really good except for the boring bits about Jean Grey. Pichelli is a master of sequential art!

Great artwork, predictable story.

Not terrible, but not worth 5 bucks.

Nicely done!

Boring.

Sadly, it was a dull read.

Five bucks and five minutes I'll never get back.

I expected the story to be a complete throw-away, but I didn't expect the great Art Adams to phone this one in.

Very good! Steve Epting’s art is the highlight.

I remember the original from back in the day, it was OK, much like this is just OK. The concept is pretty decent but the execution has two major problems for me: (1) It is covered in 90s-esque EXTREEEEME stank (2) It reads like a treatment for film or television, this story, the way they are telling it, does not need to be in comics

Picked this up on a whim and it was surprisingly good.

Great art, but sadly, no laughs. Check out Tales from the Con.

Pretty much perfect.

The emperor has no clothes. This issue stinks.

Eisner bait? Yes. Enjoyable? No.

I enjoyed reading this, although the pacing is a bit choppy. Interested to see where this goes.

I'm reminded of Gruenwald's brilliant work with Squadron Supreme and I'm loving Aaron's trolling of the alt-right here. 🤣🤣🤣

This was a lot of fun. Great twist on the last page. I could do without the gore, but it wasn't too bad. I'm interested to see what happens next.

The main story is compelling, but over in a flash. I'll keep buying this for the main feature, but know AHOY is sticking with the "comic magazine" format with a shorter feature and a lot of extras that do not interest me. I'll deal.

An impulse buy. Not bad at all.

Would be a fine first issue of a mini, but it's an ad for SEVERAL minis. I enjoyed this, but I'm out.

Sadly, I do not understand what is going on in this book. It’s robots talking to each other about being robots. A slice of life among the lifeless. It left me wanting more of a conventional narrative.

The opening was BORING but by the end I was thinking SUBSCRIBE.

Nothing groundbreaking here, but I was entertained. I'll stick with the series.

Huge disappointment. The ending is too tidy and cute.

Great artwork, clumsy script.

The artwork is beautiful, I hope the script catches up in #2.

Wait, what?

It reminds me of Alias-era Bendis. I really enjoyed it. However, If I were a hardcore Iron Man fan, I would be disappointed with how little Iron Man is actually in this issue. Needs a new title.

Very much like the movies, accessible and fun. It's RDJ as Tony Stark and that's a good thing.

The Madam Masque stuff is great. Doom out of the mask is a snooze.

It's OK. MJ is in it for a moment. I want to like this, but I'm bored.

Very good, but the reporter gimmick is unnecessary. Just tell the story.

Not my thing, but maybe yours? Seemingly pointless fantasy.

Nothing ground-breaking here, but I had fun. I'll pick up issue 2.

I'm enjoying this series.

Really enjoying this

So the interesting story about the guy who is aware of alternate earths ends with a whimper. The bad lady is tricked by Jessica and Captain Marvel. Luke and Jessica are still mad at each other. In short, not much happens. I LOVED the original Alias series. This one stinks. With the same writer and artist for this relaunch, how the hell did this happen?

The story is fine but the visuals are way too gory for my taste. If you like graphic horror, this may be your thing.

I'd like to have a little more Justice League in my Justice League comic, however, this Owlman origin is pretty darn good.

A real dud after last issue. Who cares about the origin of "The Grid?"

A masterful "done-in-one" story.

Surprisingly good, I was ready to drop this but the Metal Men have me intrigued.

Not bad, I just feel like I've read this comic before. I don't trust that tricky Lex Luthor!

I loved it.

This was fun.

Highly enjoyable. I wasn't a fan of Forever Evil, so this is a welcome new direction for me.

Rock solid.

Two stinkers in a row for JLA.

Fantastic.

Really wanted to like this. It looked like a mix of Local and LDB when I flipped through it in the store right before i bought it. It's not terrible, it's just not very good.

Not bad, but not enough to hook me for #2.

A pleasant surprise! I read the 1st ish on Comixology and I'm in for the long haul.

Great issue. Quite a but of expository dialog explaining how we got here. I'm glad they are taking time to catch up new readers, but this was really boring for the day one fans. Besides the long intro, the script is great and so is the art. Valiant is on to something here and has been for a while, not quite Marvel, DC, Image, or Dark Horse's style. Can't quite put my finger on the difference, but it's distinctly Valiant. Hope the company and their IP stand the test of time.

A giant leap forward from issue #1. This issue seems more consistent with the tone and style of Stray Bullets, Silverfish, Young Liars, standard David Lapham crime/noir/weirdness. I'm wondering if he took a heavier hand creatively in this issue. No way of knowing. Issue one had a lot of NBC 10pm drama style narration. It's gone in issue 2. Nevertheless, I liked this issue and recommend the series.

Not bad, but nothing here makes me want to by issue 2. Nice art, generic story.

Like Saga without the heart

Caligula under water.

Very very good. This reminds me of Alex + Ada from Image. I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

These solo books usually smell big time, but wow, what a surprising success Bunn has written! It's Hawkeye meets True Detective. This one's going on my pull list for good.

Another fantastic issue. Pretty violent, but Magneto's morals have always been ambiguous. He's like the Punisher with powers. Great story, great artwork.

Takes a BIG character and brings him to street-level. Works like a charm, like Hawkeye without the laughs. I'm loving this book. Please don't cancel this one, Marvel!

One of my favorite books.

AW YEAH! This book kicks so much a$$. Magneto is a street-level bad-a$$ and I love it.

A boring trip through Magneto's memories.

I am on board with the feminist message of this book, but the script could be a little more artful in its execution. Look at Bitch Planet by Kelly Sue DeConnick, similar message, but that is a damn good book. BP is compelling, has thoughtful pacing, and leaves the reader wondering what will happen in the next issue. Man-Eaters is just too on the nose and seems to be the same joke over and over. I'm not interested in what happens next for these characters. Sadly, I'm out.

Picked this up on a whim even though I didn't really enjoy issue #1. This issue is better, but it still reads like discount Kelly Sue DeConnick, specifically discount BPlanet. Nice artwork!

A great series, but this it reads SO much better in trades. Single issues are so fast-paced, you're done in a few minutes.

Super-fun issue! My only complaint is that it is over so quickly.

I hoped this would be a good jumping on point but I had no idea what was going on. The artwork is excellent though.

This was fun

I'm on the fence. I hope they let go of the Flashpoint-style "Why doesn't anyone remember MY earth?" schtick. This needs its own plot ASAP.

Be sure to drink your Ovaltine.

Weird, but I liked it.

Kot's stuff is hit and miss, this is a hit for me.

Southern Bastards, volume 2.

Pretty darn good. Hints of God Country by D. Cates (buy that if you haven't already).

Hats off to DC for celebrating diversity, but this is not a great "jumping on" point. Confusing for new readers.

This was a pleasant enough read. I’ll be back for issue 2.

I enjoyed it, but the last page smells.

Very little happening here. Pick it up Bendis or it's drop time.

Goblin demon was amazing, but the clone shiz stinks.

After a five month break, I have no idea what's going on. Not the time for an issue that is light on dialogue.

I'm enjoying the hell out of this book. I just went on Comixology and bought the collection of the original series. It's Peter Bagge meets Harvey Pekar meets Alex Robinson. If you don't know who the people in the last sentence are, you won't like Minimum Wage.

Fills a hole in the comic book industry: funny compelling slice-of-life comics. I'm in for the long haul.

Fun, but not as in depth or emotional as the previous issues. A bunch of dudes get wasted... the end.

I usually enjoy this series, but this issue was boring.

While the artwork is quite good and the premise is intriguing, Spurrier’s writing does not rise to the occasion. The dialogue is less than convincing. He also makes the fatal blunder of revealing something at the beginning that should have been saved for the ending. In doing so he makes his chosen ending feel flat.

We are in for a Vision level series.

The best indie comic on the stands is somehow coming from the DCU. We are through the looking glass!

We are witnessing a classic in progress

Surprisingly, just OK.

It's perfect. King is even topping his work on Vision. Just astounding. Maybe Batman can be this good, too? Please?

I read this a few times. Didn't like it on the first read because not much happens. After a couple more reads, I see it as an epilogue, not adding to the plot, but giving us a look at how the characters have been affected by the whole arc. I think this issue will make much more sense in a collected edition. Admittedly, this might just be me trying to find something to like in a so-so issue because I typically like this creative team.

A simple yet exciting done-in-one. A lot of blank space on the page, but I understand why they did it.

A fun book, but you'll read it in three minutes.

Greatness. Sad to see Ellis go so soon.

Straight up perfection. Sorry to see Ellis go! Dropping after this (SAD FACE).

Practically perfect in every way.

Don't like the new direction. Lazy horror. Boring.

Fully expected this too stink, as all solo Ms. Marvel book do, but this was an engrossing story. I'll be back for more. Minus one point for a lack of detail in a few panels of pencilling.

Excellent writing.

Yeah, that's the stuff.

Still an enjoyable book, although the Wolverine appearance feels forced.

More street level and not as cosmic as her Avengers adventures, I'm enjoying it.

The gentrification story was the weakest so for G. W. Wilson and Ms. Marvel. Still not terrible.

Great art, script might as well have been a transcription of the phone book.

With snappy dialogue like "Re-coding messenger RNA as atemporal," how could you not love this madcap romp?

Book of the week! This has it all: great artwork, great script, actually funny, and brief appearances by characters from across the DCU. Too bad this was just a one-shot.

Not terrible, but not worth 4 bucks.

I'm intrigued. The artwork could be better.

I really enjoyed this.

1st issue was great, 2nd issue is disappointing. Hope the 3rd is better.

Fun to see Rocket but this feels like filler.

The best chapter from the Black Vortex crossover event, which isn't saying much.

Fun finale.

Great to see "SNIKT" again.

My expectations were low, but this was a lot of fun. Great "SNIKT" scene. On my pull list now.

We don't need flashbacks, we've all read the original Old Man Logan.

The worst comic book I have ever read. Ever. Must have been written by a 12 year old psychopath. The artwork keeps it from being a flat zero.

I'm a big fan of G-Rod's artwork from Locke and Key, same great stuff here, but the script is clunky and I don't care what happens next.

I enjoyed it, but why was it 5 bucks?

A fine opening, but everything you need to know is on the cover. No new info inside.

The artwork uses so much black ink for shading it's downright distracting.

Not terrible.

2 issues in a row of nothing happening. Big time filler.

Secret Wars 2 was better.

Enjoyed this, but it feels like a TV pilot.

Great creative team, great book.

What a pleasant surprise! I pick up many Image #1s in a whim. I'm so glad I bought this one! Horror in Space is done often in comics and movies, but not necessarily done well. Layman and Chan have figured out the magic formula for high quality in this genre. I'm in!

An intriguing mystery

The first two issues were fantastic. Now... it's not. It is a lot of talking heads, with moderately interesting dialogue, and adequate indie-style minimalist artwork. The issue ends with somewhat of a cliffhanger and then it says that this is the end of the first arc. Really? This was an arc? Was there a "middle" and "end" that I missed? This seemed like all "beginning." Next issue is in December? My LCS already racks this book in the dreaded "lower quantity" section. I am the first (perhaps only?) user to review this book and it has been out for a couple of days. I suspect the creators are waiting for the trade sales (of a slight 4 issues) to help gain traction for issue 5. I honestly wish you luck. Sadly, I'm out. Cue Tiffany singing "Could've been so beautiful..." :-/

A perfect first issue. Starts out feeling like 80s slice of life, then we take a quick left turn into (spoiler)... hard sci-fi. I'm in for the long haul.

Best new series of 2015.

I'm enjoying it, but it's getting confusing.

Not bad, but not good enough for me to buy issue two.

Didn't grab me enough to pick up issue #2. It was fine, I just don't care what happens next.

Really wanted to love this, but it was just ok. I'm enjoying the Terrifics but this just isn't as good. Needs more heart and humor.

A fun read!

The guy with Asperger's rocks. Can the story just be about him and not the high concept "small town for villains" premise?

Picking up steam.

A fun yet violent guilty pleasure, like every Liam Neeson movie from the last decade, except Neeson is a kid with Asperger's this time.

Bit of a stumble

Story seems to be headed in new directions, I like it.

Poor artwork with almost no backgrounds. Hokey story with weak dialog. Cheap plot devices: Let's go get my stolen purse without the cops because my phone case has sentimental value? You couldn't have thought up a better way to get these two together? This book could have said and meant a lot, it doesn't.

Not good, but great fun if you like the movie.

I enjoyed it, but it's not a must-read. After all of these comics we still have no more insight into the Engineers than we did at the end of the film,

The story is intriguing, even if it is a bit of a Watchmen/Rising Stars knockoff. I'd still like to see where this goes. The art, whoa, astoundingly bad. Jim Valentino bad.

I'm enjoying the story, but the artwork is REALLY BAD. Faces change shape many times over the course of a page.

This series had the promise of greatness (even though it's a Watchmen ripoff), but the story is bland and predictable and the artwork looks like it was done by a middle school art class I quit!

The tone of the book is surprising, witty banter and smiling are new for Frankie. Didn't like it at first, but hey, are there really any more dark dour gritty grisly stories to tell about him? I'll get used to this new incarnation.

Sadly, this is terrible. I love Cloonan's writing on Southern Cross. Dillon is perfect as always here. But the script for Punisher #1, hoo boy, how did this get past an editor? It reads like bad fan-fic or a B movie script. No story to speak of, just gratuitous violence. Huge disappointment.

Beautiful artwork, insipid script.

Simone hits her stride with this issue.

Predictable, but fun.

This went directly into the garbage can after reading.

This comic purports to be against exploitation but is simultaneously exploitative. Oh, the irony!

Feels like issue #1 again, where is this going?

The script is all over the place and the artwork... hard to believe McNiven pencilled this whole issue.

I love it, but this does not work in short installments. It will be a fantastic graphic novel when collected.
