Federico Liguori's Profile

Unusual Batman and Robin interaction, but I'm interested in what's coming.

Best looking Batman I've seen in a while, and I really liked the story. A great #1!

Bro... what?!

Miserable Parker. Again. Everything goes wrong. Again. The decline of Spider-Man comics in the last 3/4 years seriously needs to be studied. It's depressing.

I hope Paul Rabin gets erased from history and from fans' memories.

Boy, what a mess.

If you haven't read a lot of Green Lantern comics, this is basically incomprehensible.

Boring as hell.

Too many characters.

Meh.

The flashbacks still make no sense, but Itsy Bitsy makes me laugh.

When was Peter a jerk to Ben and May? Why is a psycho killer in love with him? Weirdest story arc I can remember.

Weird. But weirdly interesting.

Extremely chaotic.

I dropped Wells relaunch for how awful it was. I hope this will be at least slightly better.

Absolutely loved it. Would be a 9, but Paul and "Jackpot" are here, so...half point off.

5 issues of Miles fighting a teenager who's angry because he got into college and she didn't. And for this, she tries to murder his family. I'm serious.

This villain is too stupid.

Most idiotic villain motivation ever?

Ben Percy's run was great, and this is off to a weird start. Too many convoluted dialogues...

I love Stegman, so I'm biased. That being said, this series has disappointed me so many times I have to keep my expectations low.

I honestly think this run could've been way better, but I liked it anyways. The first issues were amazing, but the mutant storyline dragged it down a lot. Let's see what the future holds for Tony Stark!

Another great issue!

Finally a good issue!

I will really miss this series. Thank you Ben Percy!

Percy can't stick the landing. He already did this rushed ending thing before.

Zdarsky's Batman is simply not interesting anymore to me. This was convoluted and weird, I felt completely disconnected.

Weird, but I like it.

Man what a terrible ending. All the hype for these idiots to just... Win and own the Justice League? With people going free as if nothing happened? Also, of course, a giant AD for a spinoff series nobody gives a crap about.

It really is Wolverine's most violent story!

Convoluted: The Comic Book.

Man this went downhill quickly. The first issues were awesome, but now it turned into a bad Lord of the Rings ripoff that has nothing to do with the premises. Boring and dull.

Oh. Fuck.

Most of the time I'm "???"

Zdarsky's Batman becomes ages better when Failsafe is there and it involves planning and brutal fights. Keep it that way, Chippy!

What a mess. I really liked the first part of the Krakoan era, but this "fall" storyline has been so convoluted and mind numbing. Basically, if you don't follow and read every single mutant series, this will be a massive headache. They have fundamental facts happening in 385325 different series and then get referenced in these events. It's a chore.

Holy hell. I love this Jack The Ripper-y atmosphere!

Convoluted as hell.

It sure got boring.

You know, I'm starting to get bored on dead characters never being dead. Beside that, great freaking issue.

Bland and weak. Is this The Exorcist now?

Ha! Weird one.

It's potentially good, but Joker again? And Batman kinda looks dumb and too impulsive. What I'm really looking forward to is Zur decapitating Joker!

Completely skippable issue about Wolverine and Cap taking back mutants' resources.

Never read Batman Beyond, but I really dig this neon/cyberpunk/noir tone and the detective story.

Yes and no. I really liked this series and I'm sad to see these characters go, but the ending to Ghost-Maker's story is bland as hell.

Things are getting heated for Batman Inc. I really didn't expect this series to be this entertaining.

Still too many characters, but the stories are always thrilling.

Fun and action packed, this issue welcomes a new Avenger (and... It's a weird one).

It's fun, but the magic from the first issues of this new run is gone. Also, keeping track of this "Fall of X" event is a pain in the neck and if I read "Invincible Iron Man" I could be just looking for Tony Stark, not the mutants.

The art couldn't get any better. This reminds me of some of the best issues of Dylan Dog.

Quinn and Flag having sex? Could have lived without seeing it.

Misleading solicit.

Maybe I grew tired of X-Force after 44 issues. Or maybe this Mikhail plot has been going for so long I almost forgot about it. Percy has been amazing on this and Wolverine, but it's clear he's not good on long plans.

One of the best atmosphere and art I've seen in years.

I really like these weird villains.

Convoluted as hell, but kinda entertaining. Still not into this Stark mutant war thing.

All the good from last issue thrown away. Art is terrible, storytelling is mediocre and everything feels rushed.

A very classic Avengers vs Evil aliens. Okay!

Great, a story I can't fully understand if I don't get two other series. I hate these things. Anyway, why would the Batfamily stop Batman considering he's doing what he's always done?

The art is amazing as it's similar to the great Mark Bagley's. I'm also curious about this new storyline, considering the previous one was cut short due to the writer's personal issues.

Amazing writing, but confusing "Inception" ending. Still, this is King's best Batman work without a doubt.

Absolutely amazing. Even if I'm not currently following the mutants series, Duggan managed to perfectly tell a great story with all the references. Let's see who this new Captain Krakoa is!

This is it? This was "The War College"? A three pages fight with a couple of Nazi douchebags and a all-black mutant alternate universe? What's the point of this? You can totally skip this miniseries and nothing would change.

Nothing happened through the whole event. So Bucky was a spy and Ian runs Dimension Z? Wow, what a shock. Honestly mediocre and forgettable.

Too heavily connected with other series and it feels weird to read.

At last a good issue.

Still very bland and forgettable.

I still don't get what story they're trying to tell. Every issue has a different atmosphere and it looks like it's not progressing.

Fight, fight, fight. Nothing else happens and the event is already coming to an end.

It's fine. I still can't stand Wanda tho, and I don't get why she's still around as a character.

Convoluted and not particularly fun.

If you don't like this jumping narrative, you'll hate this.

Boring convoluted fan service marathon with a open ending. Boy, this run has declined fast. I really don't give a crap about the future of this right now!

Really, I couldn't care less about this story. It's boring to death and I don't understand what sense it has or what use it should have in the long run. And please, no more multiverses! I've had enough.

Story is convoluted, art is terrible. Not a great start.

Tom King writing a good Batman story? Finally.

Great story, but I wonder what it adds to the series.

JRJR in the house, baby!

Are you even trying, Chip? Because it doesn't look so.

Ridiculous. What is this? Why would I care about this alternate Gotham? Why is Bruce Wayne indestructible? Holy crap this took a nosedive.

Only read the Batman story, and it was one of the creepiest things I've ever read.

I'm starting to get sick of these hyperconnected stories that are basically incomprehensible if you don't read 26 different series. What the hell happened at the Gala? How is Omega Red alive again?

Percy is unable to write a bad story, but this was easily skippable.

My head hurts.

The real Elon Musk vs Mark Zuckerberg.

This could be potentially amazing!

Nothing happens, just an explanation of a backstory.

Not a fan of this. I'm already fed up with this run...?

Way better than last issue.

Really liked this. This started slowly, but it's getting there.

Honestly, not very good. Dialogues are dreadful and the fact the Suicide Squad can actually fight the Justice League and not pathetically lose... I mean, come on.

Why can't you have a decent ending to Batman stories? Joker War, Fear State and now this. Is it DC cutting short and changing plans on the run? Or do screenwriters invent absurd things and then don't know how to get out of it in an acceptable way? Batman coming to Earth falling from space and not even getting a scratch? And what's more he lands just a few feet away from Robin and Superman. Dunno, maybe I should really flatten the expectations to zero level.

A little too much. Gotham being destroyed AGAIN and Batman in space are just a little too much. Loved the back up story, tho.

Best Batman run since Snyder and Capullo back in 2011.

It's not a 10 because of Catwoman's story that has an unnecessary twist I didn't like. The main story, though? Fire!

Holy shit. Batman is fucked. I even liked the Catwoman story. Great start!

I almost loved this. Almost. I'm curious to see if this good start doesn't go downhill quickly as previous Batman runs did.

Terrible. I get the point, but this is horrendous storytelling. Also, did DC literally throw the Abyss storyline in the trash? It's not finished, the guy escaped and this is a filler. Next issue there's a new writer and a new storyline. So? What is this?

Hell, this is rushed. Like three or four plot twists in three pages... It's a shame because I really liked the other issues. This is just not complete.

Art is outstanding, story is intriguing. Great!

Fun.

The twist makes no sense as of now. Why would Bucky join the Outer Circle all of a sudden and leave Steve to his fate? He wants revenge? Why not investigate alongside Steve?

This Phantom Lantern sure is creepy.

Meh. All that buildup to see Poison Ivy save Gotham and Batman doing a moralistic speech to Molly? Saint gets arrested with no resistance after he basically destroyed the city with a army of robots? Looks safe and rushed.

A little better than last issue, but it's still too over the top for me now.

Nope, this is not ok. I loved the entire story arc, but we're jumping the shark here. A machine that can erase trauma? Scarecrow stealing it and taking an enormous web of computers in the sewers without anybody noticing? Ivy's underground world being found out of nowhere with a simple scan? Why ruin this with useless crap?

Still kinda weak and rushed. I like the ideas, but the execution is meh.

I really love this story arc. Don't get the hate.

Best issue of the series yet.

This is bold. Basically, it's Retcon City... But I kinda dig it.

Weirdly, I liked this series more than the other Cap one (Sentinel of Liberty). Unfortunately, the more it goes and the more this declines and the other gets better. This is never bad, it just feels rushed and sometimes overcrowded: Deadpool, Von Doom and now Black Panther?

This series is criminally underrated. It would be perfect for the Green Lanterns TV Series!

This long storyline confirms that Batman's problem had a name: Tom King. If you compare this to garbage like The War of Jokes and Riddles or City of Bane, the results are laughable.

This PEACEKEEPER guy sure is a son of a bitch!

This is fantastic. I think I'm starting to like Sam Wilson more than Steve Rogers.

Art is simply breathtaking. The story does what it's made to do: kick off this new chapter of Captain America's history.

Guy is THE guy.

It's cheesy sometimes, but I'm really starting to get along these two new lanterns.

I like the Green Lanterns series more, for now. Anyways, it's always good to see my boy Hal Jordan.

Way more average than the previous issues, both in term of the rushed storyline and the honestly mediocre art.

I really like the rhythm of this series, it's very fresh and action packed.

The "Lethal Weapon" atmosphere is still here! Good start.

Batman vs Hipsters vs Elon Musk. Fun read.

Good but incredibly rushed ending due to Cates' personal issues (I hope you're ok, Donny!). This is becoming way too common for comic books, unfortunately... But Ryan did the best he could!

Basically, the end of Krakoa.

Fun, but it has nothing to do with the U.S.Avengers.

I remember reading this in 2017 and thinking it was absolutely amazing. Back to it now and it's still one of the best Marvel ideas I've ever read. This would make a great movie for MCU.

Weirdest Batman story in recent years.

Yes... And no.

I loved the story, but this ending is just... Meh. Batman leaving Joker to die? Joker escaping at the last second? Joker always coming back in weird ways? It's just safe and... Bland. Also, a lot of thins were left hanging. What about the theatres? How is Bruce back at Wayne Enterprises in a couple of days? I'm kinda disappointed.

Tynion does in a single issue what King tried to do in 85.

Even if I feel Tynion's Batman is a little too talkative and aggressive, this is the best story in a long time.

Don't get the criticism. This storyline has it all: thrills, action, twists and comedy.

A little too convoluted at times, but I'm into this kind of mysteries.

Incredibly fun and, surprisingly, not dumb.

So bad it's laughable. Looks like something out of Scary Movie.

I completely skipped the last part of King's run as I was literally falling asleep. But this, this looks fun!

The weirdest freaking idea about The Hulk, even more than Immortal. Also, Ottley is a chef's kiss.

The absolute bare minimum or even lower. Somehow Peter is now Felicia's "boyfriend" out of the blue and Doc Ock's characterization of the last 10 years was thrown in the bin, making him the "Arr Arr Arr big evil" again. Also, Peter is the most depressing character ever as of late and I'm tired as hell of the Gold Goblin storyline.

You know, I could stand here spewing the worst insults about Zeb Wells and Marvel and it would all be perfectly fine. But, honestly, I will try to be serious and explain my reasons. First of all, what's the point of this whole story? Seriously. Rabin is a terrible villain and nobody will remember him in a couple of weeks. Peter doesn't do a thing that changes his character. The F4 and Norman Osborn are just there. The character of Mary Jane is completely twisted for no apparent reason and behaves in an incomprehensible way just to irritate the reader. Paul is a useless jerk with no personality. To top it off, Ms. Marvel's death was announced earlier, making reading this issue completely optional. At this point, I think it is clear for all to see that the only motivation behind this horrendous antics is to divide, once again, Peter and MJ. A couple who had painstakingly reformed after a 4-year run. Swept away in 26 issues, one worse than the other. I know many Spider-Man fans cyclically claim that the character is finished and boring, but I didn't believe it. Honestly, after this story arc I feel drained of the desire to follow my favorite superhero. I've never read anything more depressing and pathetic, above all because of this incomprehensible desire to irritate and annoy fans in every way.

"Cat! Bat! Cat! Bat!" and so on.

I mean, there are some very good parts as Thomas vs Damian or Bane killing Alfred. But there's also that thing with the villains looking like a parody and Bruce and Selina always flirting and not doing much else.

It's happened, in the end. Zeb Wells managed to completely throw me off my favourite superhero's comic book. It's not even right to rate this thing, as misconceived as it is. This is not a story: this is just a rage bait for the fans so they'll talk about it and Marvel gets free promotion. Nothing makes sense, everything just goes the way this pathetic writer chose to because he thinks he's so smart he can piss on beloved characters and do whatever the hell he wants. I don't even know if I'll keep reading it. This looks just like the kind of garbage that will be retconned in a couple of years.

I don't know. It always feels like King has no clear goal for his stories. I hate the way he writes villains and I'm fed up with his convoluted dialogues. I'm still here for the art and because I want to get over with his run.

I'm still not a fan of villains working together like in the War of Jokes and Riddles. Especially the Joker, that King clearly doesn't understand and can't write. I'm curious about this storyline, but the best parts of the run are a far cry.

Convoluted as hell. I can feel King thinking "I am a genius" while reading this. 6 is for the art.

This run is one of the weirdest things I've ever read.

This is incredibly... bad. The Quiet Council just lets Beast go unpunished? He literally almost destroyed Krakoa, he murdered Wolverine and cloned him to create an evil army! What the hell is Xavier thinking? And I'm also not into Laura and Piotr joining X-Force.

I'll give it a 7, but if what Thomas is implying is true... It's a 3, maybe less. I just hope it's babbling from the character.

Finally, a good issue.

Listen, Zeb Wells... Shut up. Not only that final "plot twist" is absolutely ridiculous and predictable, but I'm SICK of Spider-Man acting like a completely reckless idiot who can't stop for a second and use his fucking genius mind to solve a problem. What in the bluest of blue hell is this garbage? And people said that the Gang War arc was bad...

I really liked this. It's incredibly complex yet so entertaining.

I'm probably being drugged and forced to experience my nightmares just like Batman. What is this? A terrible rehash of the Super Friends great story? Tom King trying to look cool writing Clark and Bruce as boring idiots and Lois and Selina as """"""""funny"""""""" independent women?

Imagine writing and publishing this thing. The "Knightmares" title is a reference to the fact I'm literally falling asleep reading this run?

Tom King gets basically ridiculed by a character he wrote. The rest of the story is useless.

This is EXACTLY the kind of issue that makes me want to drop this whole run. Talk, talk, talk... And nothing happens. Also, CUT THIS FREAKING BAT-CAT LOVE ANGLE. We get it, Tom, you love Selina Kyle. But we're at a point it feels like you have abandonment issues or something like that. It's not fun, it's not interesting, it's not what Batman should be like.

Amazing! This series never fails to entertain.

Beast is doomed, but X-Force members have been complete idiots. They should have arrested him when they discovered he had a secret lab.

7 is all for the amazing art. The rest is Tom King blabbing about something only he knows.

Yawn... Did they really get to 5 issues of this boredom? It's the same story retold 5 times.

I liked the pace of this issue. I really did. But that's about it. So, we have: - Peter freaking out and acting out of character just to keep this story going. If he stopped for 5 seconds, the F4 would have helped him. Captain America was punched in the face for asking what the problem was. Does it sound like something Peter Parker would do? - Things happening way too fast. Two explosions in Pennsylvania and a buried Spider-Man costume in the middle of a desert. Two hours later, THE FREAKING FBI is hunting Peter. For what? What's the accusation? - People treating Norman Osborn too well. Aunt May wouldn't accept him in her house, especially considering she has no clue about the Sin Eater situation. I just want this run to end.

First thing first: Romita JR. is so inconsistent it hurts my eyes. I love the guy, but Jesus Christ those faces sometimes... Anyway, this is fine. Just like the last issue. It makes me chuckle to think that this whole big mystery revolves around a villain from 15 years ago that almost nobody remembered.

Unexpectedly great. The final scene is both epic and ridiculous (in a good way).

So, this is it! I actually liked this first issue because it's directly linked to the ending of Spider-Man Beyond. However, does Marvel really expect me to remember a villain from Grim Hunt BACK IN 2008? Had to look it up.
