Slott's ASM has often been hit or miss for me, but he sure is finishing strong. It was also great to see Silk again.

This managed to rekindle my love for Spider-Man, which I thought it had been lost forever. I love the art and the Todd Mcfarlane era costume look, I love that MJ is back and I love that it seems we're getting soft "reboot" for Peter Parker to clean up all the clutter that just didn't make sense.

This continues to deliver a great story, gives us Mary Jane back (for now), the puns and jokes are appropriate, and the twist at the end keeps me guessing until the next issue comes out.

I was a big fan of Soule's run, and this is definitely a different style. So far it looks promising with some interesting ideas being introduced.

We get a bit more backstory on the 1,000,000 BC Avengers and a continuous escalation of stake. This has been a joy to read.

Fun and action packed ending to the Final Host arc, which got a bit convoluted here and there, but still managed to deliver a satisfying conclusion.

Fun issue, with great character and world building for the 1,000,000 BC Avengers. Looking forward to see how this ties up with modern Avengers like I expect to happen.

Solid wrap-up issue. Introduced some interesting changes to the Avengers status-quo, solidified the new team and sets up the next story arc.

This feels like I'm back in the 90's reading my New Mutants/X-Force comics. For someone who has read that series this is awesome and a treat, but I do question if this isn't a bit confusing for someone who is picking the title for the first time. For me it's perfect, so I'm giving this high praise as easily a top ongoing Marvel series.

I honestly don't get what's was the idea with this. Second time we go back to the future, and this time without Cap even being there. Feels like they ran out of ideas and this is all just filler material waiting for Coates' run to start. Which is probably the case.

Now that's how you start a comic book series. Seems like Cates can do no wrong.

Really fun issue with EXCELLENT art and coloring. It was a delight reading this.

Had a fun time time with this. Deadpool solo comics are always a hit or miss with me, but this shows potential.

Poignant. Again another very promising series by Cates that grabs us right from the start. I can understand some people are upset about killing off Inhumans, but as a fan of the X-Men for over two decades, and I'm used to this and seems like it's time the Inhumans get their due.

Solid issue, some attention grabbing twists, but the quality and consistency seems to be dropping, not only in the storytelling but also the art. Hopefully it finishes as strong as it started.

Weird issue, especially considering it's the last one of the series before it "reboots". Spider-Man felt more like he was written as Deadpool and they changed at the last minute, and his whole cameo seemed like a running gag that overstayed its welcome just a few pages in. A weak ending overall, which is surprising after the superb ending of Cates' run on Thanos, so I expected something more substantial instead of just an OK filler issue.

Solid start, nothing major to point out but the premise sounds interesting so far.

More Doctor Strange adventures in his quest to find his mojo, interwoven with a solid Infinity Wars tie-in story.

Solid ending for the first arc and managed to get me curious to see what happens next with Domino.

Not the most exciting start and it's mostly a slow setup for future events, but still did enough to keep me curious.

Definitely a step up from the first issue. Despite the actual FF only getting together at the end, at least we get that in this one and a hype moment, so I don't feel cheated like I did with #1.

Surprise appearances can make a comic book series more interesting, but it won't work for long. It's a decent issue, but had very little progression for it's size, failing to justify cover price.

This comic has some of my favorite X-Women and overall female comic book character reminiscing about their ties to one of my favorite male characters, Wolverine, so this series is a treat. The art could be a bit better in some places, and while the premise of the story is great, it drags a bit a certain points. Still, I'm really enjoying this and will miss it when it ends.

I'll start with the worst, the art is really weak in large portions of the book and sometimes it can be very distracting. Contrary to many, this was my favorite Hunt for Wolverine series and I really wanted to collect this on trade, but it's hard to justify paying the cover price with such low quality art. This issue, and maybe the whole story arc, was clearly just a way to streamline Psylocke's backstory so it can be accessible to new readers once the X-Men Universe gets a soft reboot with Extermination, followed by Uncanny X-Men #1. Her body switch story was incredibly convoluted (even for 90's standards), and even though she's been one of my favorites since the 90's and I grew up with Asian body Betsy Braddock, a lot of people found her story too complicated and/or problematic. It's sad that one of the most iconic Asian characters in comics is going away, but seems like for many it's for the best.

Loving the dark mood and the horror atmosphere this comic book is exuding. The Hulk's return in Avengers: No Surrender left me very hyped for this and so far it's delivering. He was always a character I only had mild interest on, but this is making a good case for me to pickup this run.

A smart and violent Hulk with ambiguous morals, a recipe for horror and I'm loving this.

This continues to be fantastic. An horror atmosphere, good plot twists and Hulk lore building, make this one of the best ongoing comic book series at the moment.

Even in a slower issue with less action, there's still an intense atmosphere that can be felt throughout. This was a setup for what should be an action packed issue #7.

Still a decent series, but it's quickly losing its steam. Hopefully the main series has a stronger delivery and consistency than this, or it will be a disappointment.

A blatant setup issue to sell the gimmick Warps comics. Not a lot actually happened beyond that. Gamora continues to be wholly unconvincing as a villain and the only good thing about this is the art.

Mostly a setup issue, but has some interesting plot threads teased.

I like this, but there is such a thing as too much going on and too many concepts being brought out.

The series that keeps on giving and getting better with each issue. Outstanding.

A lot of Doom, more clues to the whereabouts of the rest of FF and puts us one step closer to FF's return. We couldn't ask for much more.

The art was pretty rough in this, but I appreciated a respite from all the action by providing us a look at how bleak things can look when people hit rock bottom.

This series continues to keep me on the edge of my seat from the uneasiness that it cases me to feel something horrible is about to happen, but you just don't know when. Seems like we're getting a big clue with this book and it's definitely a nightmare scenario for Scott Free and Big Barda.

This is excellent. Kelly Thompson continues to deliver excellent stories with Rogue and Gambit.

Great art, solid characterization and a fun story. Thompson has been nailing it since Rogue and Gambit mini series.

The first issue managed to pique my interesting in a very positive manner. Weird and funny in just the right amount.

The story continues to be all kinds of wacky, but still has enough interesting going on that keep me reading.

I'm not hooked, but I'm intrigued enough to give it a shot. I liked some of the concepts, but others feel flat and the way the story is told could be better for the sake of clarity.

An oddly long story arc, that took some detours, had some great highlights and some average moments, is finally reaching the conclusion and seems like it will end with a twist and in a flashy way.

Ahhh I love the smell of a lecture in the morning. We get it Saladin Ahmed, you hate the US and apparently all European countries. As if that wasn't boring enough, the stylistic choice of using monochromatic tones for 2 issues feels like I'm being cheated out of some proper art and inking. I'm finding it really hard to justify the cover price with this series... Which is a shame since I loved No Surrender and really wanted a Quicksilver story, and all I get is this.

I enjoyed this, but the story so far feels like it's meant to be read as a whole than in single issues, since it raises more questions than it answers and it's not always easy to follow without actually knowing what's going on.

As a fan of the original Paul Jenkins and Jae Lee mini-series, this feels like a return to form and a worthy addition to the saga of Sentry.

Dark, broody and unnerving. This series continues to deliver and end with a plot twist. I'm all on board with this.

JUST WOW! What is it left to be said? This story arc had me turning the pages like a madman and everything about this was stellar. When Thanos wins, we all win and an instant classic is born.

Cates' Thanos Wins was great this is a good continuation of that, with some ties to Infinity Wars and Cosmic Ghost Rider. Might not be the friendliest book for those that aren't up to date with past and current issues of these stories, but I'm all in so far.

Strong start, gave me enough to keep me interested, but left enough out to keep me guessing.

First issue actually had me hyped for this series, but this one reminded me why I became weary of Bendis' releases the past few years.

After a solid first issue and a disappointing second issue, it finally feels like we're picking up steam and things are getting interesting, and I got hooked back in.

I've been loving the Death of Mighty Thor, but I can't help but feel that Jane staying alive risks undermining the gravitas of this story arc. She had a beautiful death by sacrificing herself to save Asgard, at long last proving herself worthy in the eyes of stubborn Odin, but by keeping her alive, they took the easy way out and significantly brought down the impact of the overall story. Still, the whole story arc was a 9/10 so a must have trade for fans, but if not for the ending, could have been a 10/10.

Still not too familiar with the Sandman universe, but this was still interesting enough for me to give it a try.

Stellar start! A good setup, but without all of it being setup as it often happens. We also get some good action, backstory, family drama and a tease preview of a distant future with a weird unexpected guest. Can't wait for the next issues.

Fun, humorous and wacky in a good way. Really enjoying the direction this has taken, very reminiscent of Thor: Ragnarok movie.

This book continues to be a wild and fun ride. Sure the art takes a bit getting used to, but I think at some points it actually works well.

This keeps getting weirder, wackier and over the top, but I'm having a blast reading this series.

While it's a retcon, I'm very interested in this new Symbiote lore. Loving the thriller elements in this and the art is incredible, making everything come together perfectly.

A classic in the making. An epic storyline with suspense, horror, cosmic elements and just the right amount of action scenes. The art is top tier and just elevates everything to a whole other level.

Fixing and polishing some of the most confusing and conflicting parts of the Klyntar lore in a very entertaining and compelling manner, while also giving us a bonus Thor God of Thunder tie in? YES PLEASE!

This continues to be such an awesome and captivating story. Sure some stuff gets wild and very out there, but still plausible and entertaining enough to make me go "Wow" a few times in every issue. The art is just superb, especially in the big splash pages.

This is a modern classic in the making. Amazing art, incredible lore and story filled with both hype and heartfelt moments. Gold standard right here.

This has been a pleasant surprise so far, I hope it finishes strong too.

First issue was quite fun to read. It's a weird team, but seems to work well to create some situations where you just can't help but chuckle. Thompson has been scoring plenty of hits lately. I really like the art style and the colors, they go well with the more laid back West Coast feel of the book.

I'm a big fan of the original X-23 comics so this was a must for me. Mariko's other works are not usually my style, but I was willing to give her another chance, and I think it was worth it. Strong first issue with some interesting plot points being introduced and the return of the Cuckoos, so I'm liking this quite a bit. The art is good and the cover is great. I hope it continues with this level of quality.

Continues the interesting plot point of the dead Cuckoos revival in a satisfying way. I do have to wonder if there will have to be references to food in every issue, it's getting a bit weird.

After the amazing issue #4, this felt a bit weaker but still a solid ending to an interesting story arc.

They clearly don't know what else to do with the time/alternate reality displaced X-Men anymore, and are just killing time until Extermination.

Bait and switch that I both enjoyed and disliked. I'm really happy for Rogue and Gambit, because they were definitely my favorite X-couple, so this comes out being a net positive.

This continues to be a joy to read and own, but as floppy and trade. I feel like it's a must for any X-Men fan.

Jean is one of my favorite comic book characters of all time, I've collected a solid portion of her meaningful moments in comic book history and I was incredibly excited to have her back, but not like this... So far this run has been underwhelming and not even this issue with Gambit has been able to keep my initial hype for this. Even if you're like me that can overlook quite a bit of politics in comics, some of it on this run has been so on the nose and heavy handed with events specifically mirroring or referencing events in the current US political climate, which for a non-American not only makes it uninteresting at times, but also unfortunately it will likely ensure this run will not age well. There are some good things in this, which is why I'll push through and see how it goes when the full team is assembled.

I'm liking these series, and it helps that Jean is one of my all time favorite characters, but I could use a bit more subtlety on references to current world politics and a faster pace. For a monthly series taking so long to setup the villain and the main conflict might kill the hype people had for this, myself included, or force people to trade wait and risk killing the series.

Great issue, solid action and tension. The art and page setup style really complemented the action scenes. My only wish is that the story itself moved a bit faster, most issues have a lot of stuff going on, but we're seven issues in and the main plot is evolving very slowly and still feels miles away from concluding.
