I really really really dislike alternate timelines stories. They are so hard to pull off and make worthwhile yet so easy for writers to think they can do it well. Rarely works out and it struggles here.

The art looks good but not the writing. Gonna skip owning this book at full price until better writers take over. I'll still collect because that's what I do, but it'll be in the dollar bin before too long and I will get it then. Don't recommend full price for this story at all.

I like the team they have made. Nobody seems to have ever figured out what do with Angela over the years and this worked better than most of her stuff going all the way back to the original McFarlane books. Still not great though. Throg almost made my rating an 8 by himself.

Not digging the art. Looks like Aaron setting McGuinness up to hit home runs and McGuinness is hitting foul balls. Case in point. Second page splash page is a huge setup for the big three and the art is blah. What are backgrounds? McGuinness clearly doesn't know or care how to draw them. Every panel is a character close up with a washed out, almost air brush-esque quality...every one.

Still can't understand all the 10's. Low threshold for being impressed I guess. Art was really good and the story is not terrible. Long time Batman fans seem to hate it for various reasons. Being a newcomer to Batman and not having all the baggage, I think it's ok. Fun read.

Waid and Samnee has made for an incredible team in the past. In the present and future however(alt timeline future that is) not so much. Waid simply is not telling a very good story here. It's the lazy appproach to writing for a character. Maybe he was instructed to do this, who knows. What I do know is that I think it's dookie. Samnee art style I will always like, Waid laid an egg.

I guess it sums it up that I read the book the night before this review and I had to look at it again to remember what happened, which was nothing really. Marvel still on the everybody hates me, sulky version of Captain America. Also, something that makes it worse is the Avengers title Cap and this Cap don't jive at all.

First off, the cover art is terrible and has absolutely nothing to do with what's inside. Next up, not judging a book by its cover, the art is ok until the Doctor Doom story and I can't get over the Fred Flinstonesque look of Doom. Story - This is a setup book, nothing more and too early to tell if the series is gonna be all that. Not a great 1st showing after all the hype. Meh.

This book made me want to stay for a least one more but I don't have a lot of faith, at this point, that I will continue to stay. The story up to this point has been a slow, mostly boring, grind. The human character art is really good and tells the story well enough. Panel layout, colors, all good. The monsters and the dimensional worlds are just lazy blobbly art with very little detail. Makes the interesting bits hard to look at and ultimately hurts the books appeal.

Wish they would stop with the restarting all the time nonsense. Aaron is going strong. After Dauterman this art style is jarring to say the least. Newest version of Avengers is the same kind of thing. Panel after panel of close-ups of characters with pastel coloring and with a washed out background. Very low effort. Aaron writing shines though. Wards art is slightly better.

Can his mom just please go ahead and die or move to another multiverse or better yet, just stop writing about her and we can pretend she never existed. Nobody would miss her for sure.
