Best Superman story in forever

Warworld's still dope.

Thank God Williamson is taking over this title, this story completely ran out of steam

Just an overpriced issue of Detective Comics instead of a definitive Two-Face story...

LMFAO What the actual fuck Garth

This series is so fucking absurd, I love everything about it

Holy shit. What a fun black label story. I'll definitely pick this up in a Hardcover whenever it gets collected.

Even better the second time around

Not a masterpiece like some might claim it to be by any means, but a damn fun book with some utterly amazing art nonetheless.

I'll miss Ram V on this title. His run has been so good

Probably gonna drop this

Very nice Twilight Zone-ish from the usually great Mark Russell

I double dare Tamaki to write a great Batman story that doesn't just rely on Dan Mora's beautiful art to get my money. Triple dog dare. Granted this is a tie in but holy shit we are like 12ish issues into this run and it is already spinning it's wheels.

This is such a lame direction for Xombi. All the side characters are insanely forgettable as well.

Ignore the losers review bombing this because the author's politics differ from theirs, as it's one of the better horror comics out on the shelves right now

Russell has been killing it lately. This story fucking rocks

One of the best new series out there right now

I'm so nervous about Blood Syndicate.

Second best Milestone book.

Best of the Milestone Returns stories, but goddamn the art is not it at all.

This book has been great, but for some reason, people just don't seem to realize it's a Black Label book, which means this shit just isn't in continuity. This has loose connections to JLI, but that's it, and it's not like you have to even read JLI to enjoy this. And no, King did not "ruin" Martian Manhunter this issue. Human Target is an-out-of continuity Noir detective story. Characters are going to be framed in certain roles when you do a story like this, and these roles are to get the story where it needs to be. Human Target is the Hard-Boiled Detective, Ice is the femme fatale, and Guy Gardner is the jealous ex-lover, etc. Whether you are fine with these character reworks is 100% up to you, but it shouldn't make you genuinely angry or upset. Like coupling together two characters out of continuity isn't "disrespectful", and it really isn't a big deal if characters are acting slightly different than how they usually would, or some side character that pops up in one issue has their character development during some dumb crisis/mega-event ignored, as this book is NOT in continuity. If it does genuinely make you upset or angry how King treats these characters, then maybe just try dropping the fucking book? I didn't like Strange Adventures or Rorschach, so guess what? I stopped pissing away money, time, and energy on something I didn't even like. I dropped them both by the second issue and just read something that I liked. King & Smallwood are doing their own thing, and this book does it mostly perfectly. The art is amazing, King's dialogue is sharper than usual, and his captions thankfully don't slow the book's pace down as they did in Supergirl. Amazing read and probably King's most consistent work so far. Hopefully, he can stick the landing at the end, because that's usually where his stories fall apart for me.

Oh no! Characters are acting out of character in an out-of-continuity series. The horror!

I'm not completely sold on Jace as Batman still, but this series seems to finally be picking up steam. I pray Ridley can bring it all together in the end.

Holy Hickman Batman! Sad to see Hickman leaving X titles after this, but his run has completely redefined the characters and made me love X-Men in a way I haven't since the Morrison/Quitely days. Great first issue, and I cannot wait to see how this wraps.

Series is still really solid, hoping we get an awesome finale to this fifth volume next month

NOOOO why would you give Bendis JLD and give the Ram V story a cliffhanger? Bad book

An extra .5 for the JLD.

Wow, a good Mark Millar book

Fucking hilarious

Masterpiece

All the stories were great, but I couldn't be less excited for Hardware vs. Icon.

Another emotionally investing issue. This has been my favorite Moon Knight run since Lemire & Smallwood

This was fine, but I hate how writers are turning Jason basically into Lite-Wing. Him still using crowbars is also beyond stupid. I did like the villain and some of the smaller moments though.

This is some seriously well done satire. Mark Russell is so damn good and always has something worthwhile to say. Even if you don't agree with his politics 1:1 (which I and I assume many others do not) doesn't mean what he has to say isn't worth thinking and talking about. He always manages to make situations feel real with his perfect blend of humor and politics so when he does come at you with more heavy handed messages, it's able to land because the characters actually feel like real people, and not just plot devices to progress an author's agenda. I have always said you can have an agenda, just please tell a decent story! Only problem I have with this book is I cannot tell any the robots apart for the life of me. They all look exactly the same and it can kind of mess up the flow of the story when you are double checking who is who from issue 1. The rest of the art is great thought, as the artist is able to potray real emotions from these robots, I just don't know who is who. Other than that, amazing second issue. Took me forever to find a copy though, my LCS has been sold out.

Great penultimate issue

Best AWA book by a mile. This shit was genuinely amazing.

Great to see Russell back at DC

This was good enough but I have no clue where this is heading.

Holy shit this was amazing but very dark. The tonal opposite of the HBO Max show.

Another amazing issue from Lemire and Sorrentino. My LCS gave this and Good Asian to me a week early which was nice. The splash pages are incredible, with some seriously innovative panelling by Sorrentino. I know his art isn't for everyone, but it really works for the story Lemire is trying to tell. This is one of the best creative teams working in comics today. Pick up anything by the two of them.

Another fantastic issue

This book makes me so happy. It's just Joshua Williamson writing Damian at his absolute best, while also having an amazing time fleshing out some of these tournament fighters, and still delivering fun action and solid writing every issue. This book probably isn't a 10/10 per se, but Williamson clearly puts so much care into it, that it sure does feel like one to me.

I enjoyed this run, but I'm probably dropping the book after this issue. I don't give a fuck about Shadow War.

For children and morons. This series is unbearable.

The action is so unreal in this book. Seeing an impact frame in a comic book is so surreal

Ayala has a great voice for Virgil, and Draper-Ivey was born to draw this and a Batman Beyond book.

Kinda weird Hotstreak didn't pop up but whatever. This was still great and I loved Static's speech at the end.

Wow

My comic shop accidentally gave me this a day early and I'm so happy they did. I love this series so much.

This was so fucking gnarly. Waiting until July for the final issue is going to be hard.

King stuck the landing.

This honestly is my least favorite Superman book on the shelf, which is a shame because I usually love Taylor, but man this series is so damn soulless. Nothing has been done in 3 issues to make Jon any different from Clark, as he does exactly what Clark would do, and no reason or motive is given on why he wants to help so much. He has been given 0 new personality traits, hobbies, or literally anything to make him stand out from Clark. Also, let's talk social issues that leave ALOT to be desired. This comic is clearly political and heavy handed, which I don't really have a problem with as long as it's well written, but this is just not and it is seriously distracting here. The refugee crisis is an important issue and there is a lot to it, but this was clearly written by some white dude halfway across the world who has no actual clue what's going on here besides what Le CNN tells him. It is so far detached from reality that is loses all relevance and ends up boiling a serious issue down to a set piece to show everyone Superman cares about refugees and has speeches prepared. That is so brave. Writing a story about important issues doesn't automatically make your work great if you can't actually say anything worthwhile, or even accurately portray the issue. This was lousy and the only saving grace is the art and covers. Anyone value judging this book is also so fucking garbage. Just because a book validates your politics doesn't make it amazing, or mean people who don't like it are "bigoted" or whatever. It also doesn't mean just because someone whose politics differ from yours is writing Superman now, that the story automatically sucks. That kind of garbage ruins real discourse and constructive criticism about a book.

Still not loving this series as much as I wish I was, but I'll give this first arc a chance to play out. Hopefully Taylor has something else up his sleeve. Glad people are enjoying it though.

This series is starting to find it's feet a little more, but I still don't buy Jon as Superman. I'll see how the next issue goes to determine whether or not I end up dropping this series. I just can't imagine coming back to a book that isn't for me every month just to go into a rage about it because one of the main characters likes both cock and pussy.

This was probably the most disappointing book coming out of Infinite Frontier for me. I thought it had a ton of potential, but Sheridan just didn't have a very good plan for this run.

I fucking adore this series. It is still kind of just Cole being this clueless dipshit wandering around these crazy situations while everyone tells him what's going on, BUT that doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable and well written. The art is incredible and I just really love what Tynion has to say about conspiracies in general.

This is so boring at this point

Ennis' war comics are always fantastic

I don't know what this series wants to say or be anymore. It is just so long winded and such a slog every time I pick an issue up. 2 points for Alex Ross cover and half a point because at least Busiek is trying something somewhat interesting with this.

Glad this is back

Blockbuster, popcorn-type event

Meh, I did like the art a lot though.

That art

Love the cover, and the story has been fun as well.
