After a promising start, Stohl's run was derailed by its tie-in arc that has been mediocre mess from start to finish, doing little interesting with its cast despite the admirable attempt to build uo supporting characters for Carol.

Picked this up on recommendation from my lcs. Coming into this, I was expecting a bad tie-in comic, and was pleasantly surprised. The book is pure, solid fun with a couple of touching moments. Very well done, and not entirely without layers. That, and it's a genuinely funny book, too.

This was absurdly good, clever and funny. Lee Weeks art was amazing on this, as was Tom King's writing. There are all these little details everywhere that make a reread worthwhile. Would absolutely recommend.

The book has issues with keeping character voices and characterization straight, but taken entirely on its own it's a dumb but fun enough book with nice art.

Solid issue with Epting doing good work. But unfortunately the book's story suffers from pacing issues, and could stand to be a bit more compressed. Bennett is someone who is hit and miss for me but her work on Batwoman is fine, there is a couple of neat and fun character beats and potentially interesting thematic beats, but on the whole it's a very slow book that may read better in trade.

An almost perfect send-off to the surprisingly great Flintstones reboot. But I agree with Big Borther that the last 1/3 loses a bit of its edge. Still, it is great and bittersweet last issue overall.

Immonen's Hellcat is a solid, fun mini-series with nice art that won't set your world on fire but isn't a waste of time and/or money, either.

The second decent issue of the run. Izaakse was a much better fit than Malin, and compensated for some of Zub's many shortcomings. It isn't a great issue but had it stayed at this level and actually followed up the few interesting plot threads that had been set-up, it would have been a bearable run.

One of the only two genuinely decent issues of this run that set ups some interesting plot and character notes that unfortunately are never followed up on by later issues.

You get the first inkling of something interesting or worthwhile happening in this run with MACH musing about the events of Standoff, but that ultimately is derailed by a paint-by-the-numbers fight scene with the Squadron Supreme with one of the hands down most visually incoherent fight sequence I have seen in a cap comic.
