Derek Hoskins Comic Reviews

This book is great, plain and simple. The story and art blend together in a way that few creative teams can achieve. With each issue of this story I have become more and more intrigued and I have found a curiosity for the folklore and mythology of this region that I have never had before. This truly is God of War meets Conan the Barbarian!

Akogun: Brutalizer of Gods is a wild ride that ended too quickly. Thankfully, we can look forward to the next chapter of this incredible mythological tale because I am not ready to leave it! This is an interesting and intrigueing look into a world that I was not familiar with. I am very grateful to Murewa and Dotun for introducing this pantheon of gods to the wider world. The storytelling is rich with history and the respect of the creative team for this mythology is on full display.

This was a fast paced, action packed issue that somehow managed to include meaningful character motivations and back story without hurting the pacing. When I finished reading I wanted nothing more than to pick up the next installment to see where the story goes next. This is cliffhanger storytelling at it's best. Make sure you pick this one up, you will not regret it!

Once again, this creative team has dropped a fantastic book for the readers. The action, plot, and desperation of this series continues to ramp up as The Avengers find themselves in the middle of an impossible situation. The final pages left me with goosebumps and a fist pumping as I said aloud with them, "NO!" The Avengers are in capable hands and I'm so very excited to see where this story goes next!

While it was a bit of a slow start, The Avengers #8 built into a fun ride full of great action, solid character beats and amazing art work!

With great writing, impeccable art, and a fantastic cliffhanger, The Avengers #9 is a near perfect comic book. I am excited to see where the story goes and I can't wait to see where MacKay and the rest of the team take this group of Earth's Mightiest Heroes next.

The story is coming back around to Kang, a welcome change that shows that the creative team are building to something epic. The art and character work were top notch with the art team being the big stand out here. On top of everything else this this issue has going for it, I am always on board for a Kang temper tantrum full of passing the buck of his own failures to somebody else. This was peak whiny Kang!

Any story involving Edwin Jarvis gets a few points to begin with. However, I'm happy to say that this issue would have gotten by on it's own merit.

As far as event tie-in books goes, this is top notch. If a reader has not been keeping up with the 'Fall of X' storyline, this issue and the last issue were enough to bring them up to speed so they could enjoy the ride.

I went into this issue without high hopes due to the fact that it's a tie-in to an event that I am not reading. However, excellent character work and fantastic visuals pulled me through and kept me entertained. I didn't care that I didn't know the whole story, it's just cool to see The Avengers tearing through vampires in fun and inventive ways! I'm really looking forward to the next few issues in this event, and I may just have to give Blood Hunt a chance after all…

What a ride these Blood Hunt tie-ins have been! I came into these issues, not excited in the least, now I'm dreading the return to the normal team of Avengers. This is a credit to great writing and incredible art work. If you have been holding out on these because they are tie-ins, you are truly missing out!

This was a great story set in the middle of an event that I am not reading. I should not, by all reasoning, love this arc as much as I did. However, great writing, wonderful art, and deep cut references made me fall in love with this story and this team. I really hope to see more of this team in the near future.

Avengers #17 does a great job of wrapping up the events of Blood Hunt while getting the reader excited for what is to come. What is to come looks to be one wild ride! This is a great jumping on point for anyone who has not been picking this book up. I highly recommend it!

The creative team delivered another win this month. A solid story, excellent characters, and beautiful art make this a near perfect issue. Every Avengers fan should get on board and pick this one up!

While I truly enjoyed the art and story in this book, the fact that it is an Avengers issue that only features one hero put me off a bit. I love Black Panther and this was a great peek into where he is mentally, I found myself missing the rest of the team by the end of the issue. Of course, the book itself was still great but the fact that we never got a single cutaway to what was happening with the rest of The Avengers keeps me from giving this one a higher rating.

A great Avengers story that showcases just how much this team deals with. Fast paced action, a classic villain, a universal threat, and zombies? What more could you ask for?

This issue was full of everything I love about The Avengers. It had action, humor, thrills, and a sense of family and camaraderie that is necessary for this team to work. If you are a fan of The Avengers you do not want to miss this one!

The villain of the month style of story telling combined with a behind the scenes plot and stellar visuals make this book another win for this creative team! The inclusion of the classic villain, Red Ghost was a wonderful addition to this story. If they continue with this trend this book may be something special!

Avengers: Twilight feels like it is going to be a book that is discussed for years to come. The social commentary, incredible art, and hopeful final page makes this one for the ages. Top all of that off with a wonderful back up story and behind the scenes look and this was truly a breath of fresh air. This is what comics are about!

Great writing, solid action, and fantastic artwork make this another near perfect comic book issue. The only downside is that it suffers from being a middle chapter in a story and is burdened with a fair amount of set up for what is to come ahead. I have no doubt, however, that what is to come ahead will be nothing short of magical.

This story has been a wonderful, if wholly dark and depressing, read.

Avengers: Twilight continues to be a must read, in my opinion. The pacing, the story, the art, the incredible covers, this story is what we need right now. This creative team is building toward something big. This book is a constant reminder why superhero stories will never go out of style, in a world full of fear, they will always give us hope.

I have said this from the beginning of this series and I will continue to say it, this is an important book. It is so important because, it is a warning against what can happen to a society that gives up it's freedom and basic human rights because of fear and a false sense of security.

Perfection, pure and simple. This book has been excellent since issue #1 and it ended so strong that I wish I could stay in this world longer. At various moments in this issue I cheered, I cried, and I found myself hopeful that, if this fictional world can change for the better, maybe our real one can as well. I've said from the beginning that this series felt important. I can safely say now that it truly is, this is a cautionary tale that leaves the reader with a sense of hope for the future. Heroes are important, hope is vital, and comic books continue to exist as an avenue for us to see both.

Civil War: Unmasked is a perfect way to revisit a fan favorite story. For many people reading comics today, Civil War was the first big event that they got to experience. This issue perfectly took me back to 2006 and put me right back into that mindset of arguing with my friends over Team Iron Man and Team Cap!

D’Orc has become my most anticipated book each month. With incredible art and an engaging and wildly entertaining story, D’Orc is a must read.

D’Orc is the best book on the shelves right now, pure and simple. With incredible heart, over the top action, violence, and hilarious gore, D’Orc is a book that every comic book fan should be reading!

I’m starting to feel like a broken record, but this book is consistently my favorite book each month. Crazy action, deep lore, surprising emotional beats, and incredible art make this a once in a generation series!

Chaotic, gory, fantasy perfection! D’Orc has been my book of the month since the first issue and it doesn’t look like that is going to change any time soon. This book shows exactly what you can do with the comic medium!

I'm going to be honest with you, dear reader. This is the first Fantastic Four book that I have read in over a decade. The FF have never been my team, I've always been an Avengers guy. However, I have always hoped that Marvel would put out a book that would make it easy for me to get into the First Family. I'm happy to say that this is that book. Fantastic Four Fanfare is exactly what I have been waiting for, a series that highlights the characters in a digestible way but doesn't shy away from the long history of this team. What a wonderful way for Marvel to lead up to Fantastic Four: First Steps. If you are looking for an FF book to get you pumped for that movie, look no further!

This series has been one hit after another. This is the book that is finally making me a Fantastic Four fan with a fresh understanding that the FF is not just as an important piece in the Marvel Universe, but a wonderful team and family full of fun and interesting stories. I am loving this book and I cannot wait for the next issue.

Once again, this series did not disappoint. With another three wonderful stories that show how great the Fantastic Four can be when handled by incredibly talented creatives, this issue was peak FF!

While this issue wasn't a fantastic start to the series, the opening and final pages did do enough to get me to come back for the next issue. The bones of a great story are here so, while I wasn't thrilled with this installment, I'm excited to see where it goes next.

I mentioned above that seeing a giant bug spray construct was fun, and that is what I can say about this issue as a whole, it's just fun! I had a smile on my face as I went from page to page. With great action, solid dialogue, and a final page reveal that had me laughing and feeling genuine surprise, this issue is an absolute must read!

If I could give this book a higher score than 10 I would. Since I can't do that I'll just say that this issue is, in a word, perfect! The creative team is top notch and the story looks to launch the cosmic side of Marvel into a brand new world of storytelling. I cannot wait to see where this story goes!

Mark this one down as another perfect issue for this story and creative team. The pace was fast and well timed, the action was thrilling, and the mystery unfolding continues to be intriguing. Everything about this story is perfect! This is what fans of the cosmic side of Marvel have been waiting for.

Another perfect score for the book I look forward to the most each month. This story is shaping up to be the exact thing I've been looking forward to in the Cosmic corner of Marvel. Each time I finish an issue I cannot wait to read the next, this is Marvel Cosmic at it's finest!

This is the Marvel Cosmic event I've been waiting for! The twists and turns throughout the story kept me on the edge of my seat and this story restores the Cosmic side of the Marvel Universe to a status quo that is ripe for more stories going forward. I cannot wait to see what they have in store for us down the road.

Imperial has been such an incredible ride so far and this book just added to my enjoyment of the story. The twists, action, and mystery are on full display and this issue is just an absolute delight!

While I was not looking forward to this issue as much as the others in this line, I was pleasantly surprised with the depth of story and drama.

What a fantastic issue to send us racing into the finale of Imperial! Great history and character dynamics mixed with a phenomenal art team made this one another must read!

This is exactly the book I've been waiting for! I am a huge fan of Nova and the Nova Corps, and this issue scratched that itch in the best possible way. The history and interactions, the emotion and turmoil, they were all accented by fantastic artwork and an exciting ending that set up where the story will go from here. I am loving this event and I can't wait to see what happens next. This was a wonderful return for one of my favorite Marvel characters. Marvel, please, I'm begging you. Please give us an ongoing Nova book! This issue proves that there is so much story and so many places this character can go.

X-Force is back! This new team looks to be a great addition to the X-Force legacy, each character works well together and the banter is on point throughout. The story being set up in this issue is one that I cannot wait to read going forward!

While the story is going in places I did not expect it to go in, the change up of artist threw me for a loop. I enjoyed the art and I’m loving the story overall and I cannot wait to see where this book goes next!

Inglorious X-Force #5 is an excellent read from beginning to end and a series that I wish would never end. Action, villainous monologue, heart, and a mystery that keeps the reader engaged? What more could you ask for in a comic book?

Another great issue in a great series. I am so very happy to see this book continuing on and the mystery being slowly revealed. The character interactions are excellent, the action is superb, and the story is intriguing. Inglorious X-Force continues to be a must read X book!

This series has been excellent from the start. Each issue builds on the mystery and deepens the dynamic between the team. The writing and art meld together to create a deep narrative, full of excitement and intrigue.

This series is one that I was nervous about going into. I knew that it would be tied into the events of the Mutant story lines and I am years behind on those titles. I was concerned that Iron Man would be a supporting character in the own book. However, this creative team has crafted a story that has captivated me and proven that, not only is this an Iron Man focused story, but it is shaping up to be one of my favorite runs of my favorite character! Please, if you are an Iron Man fan, do not miss this series.

This issue was perfection! I tried to find a single flaw or nitpick and I came up wanting. With some solid twists and turns, familiar characters, and incredible art, this team is firing on all cylinders. While I am predisposed to enjoy any title with Iron Man at the center, I can say without a doubt that you will be hard pressed to find a more enjoyable single issue of any comic. I know that I have been saying this before, but if you are not already reading this please don't wait, start now!

This issue is perfection! I am enjoying this series more and more with each installment. The story, writing, and artwork all came together in one phenomenal issue that I read at break neck speed and was so disappointed when over. Each month I find myself wanting more and that is the sign of a great team and a great comic!

While not a perfect book, issue 12 was a great step toward the coming battle. The creative team keeps teasing us with the reveal of Tony's new armor and I feel like a kid on Christmas morning being told to wait to open my presents! I want to see it! I am enjoying this ride and I am so happy that the creative team are taking their time and allowing this story to breathe. Well done to all involved, this series has been one win after another and I can't wait to see what kind of wild ride I am taken on next month!

With multiple surprises, excelent character interactions, fun action, incredible artwork, and another fantastic cliffhanger ending, The Invincible Iron Man #13 is a masterpiece!

Another wonderful issue that pleased this long-time fan to no end. Solid writing, fun character interactions, and a hook for what is to come makes this a must read. I am excited to see more from this team and cannot wait to see the Mark 72 in all of it's glory next issue!

The incredibly quick pace was almost jarring, however, it did not take away from my enjoyment of the issue. On the contrary, I am impressed that a story that took me so little time to read was just as impactful as a dialogue heavy drama.

This story continues to take it's time to unfold. At no point has this creative team rushed or allowed the momentum stall, leading to a series of books that are put on the top of my pull list each month. Fantastic writing, a great guest artist, and a cliffhanger ending put this in the "Must Read" category!

Another solid outing that promises to lead to a larger climax, this issue is a must read for Iron Man fans. I am at the point where I want the story to come to an end because I am so invest in it, but I would be happy to continue this storyline for months to come. It is a testament to the entire creative team when the reader isn't ready to move on to the next chapter in the series.

This was so close to a perfect issue! My only real downside was that I wasn't ready for it to end. This book flew by at breakneck speed and didn't let up until the very last page. With fantastic art, impeccable writing, and a couple of great setups for what is to come, this book is an absolute must read!

This was a great end to a great run that I am sad to see come to an end. As I have said from the beginning, if you are even a passing fan of Iron Man and his world, read this series. You will not be disappointed!

This was an interesting and fun read overall. Even though I have not been reading any of Storm's stories I was not lost on her motivations or her actions in this issue. Also, I had no context of the Contest of Chaos story going into this book, however, I was able to follow along without a problem and now I want to go back to read part one and continue on with the story after this. That is the mark of good story telling, it makes me want more! Whether you are reading Contest of Chaos or not, I highly recommend giving this issue a read.

This book is perfect, plain and simple. From the writing, to the art, to the final page that sets up an exciting ride to come, this issue is a huge win.

This series started out with an uphill battle for me. I enjoyed the last series so much that I was already coming into this with an air of skepticism that was not fair to the book. However, a mild dislike for Tony's character design aside, I found myself truly enjoying this first issue.

While I'm interested in where this story will go, the odd pacing and uneven storytelling left me unimpressed with this issue as a whole. The promise of more to come and the art are what will keep me coming back to this title. I have no doubt that this series will pick up soon but for now this was a lackluster entry in the Iron Man mythology.

While not a perfect issue, Iron Man #3 is a swing back in the right direction after a lackluster issue #2. I am starting to get on board with this creative team and I look forward to what they have for me next month!

Talk about a step in the right direction! I have gone from being concerned for this series to now looking forward to where it is going. Spencer Ackerman's writing and pacing and a change up in the art team have made all the difference with this book. I am very happy to say that this run of Iron Man is heading down the path of greatness.

This was another solid outing from this creative team. While I had my doubts to begin with, each issue has put those concerns to rest. The character interactions, art, and bombastic action scenes lead to this being another nearly perfect issue.

Another issue, another nearly perfect score. I was concerned going into this issue that it would be a frustrating read as a tie-in. However, with the great work of the creative team, this was an overly enjoyable read and it left me wanting more. Let's see where Iron Man goes in this One World Under Doom!

This is about as great as you can get when dealing with an event crossover. The team has found a way to include elements of the ongoing story to make their way organically into this event and that is no small task. I'm very curious to see where this goes next!

As the One World Under Doom story continues to roll along. Unlike most event tie-ins, I am still really enjoying this series. With a healthy dose of intrigue, corporate headaches, and betrayal Iron Man #8 is a must read!

While this issue was a step back it was not a total miss. I look forward to this storyline coming to an interesting conclusion and I hope this creative team stays on the book for a while. While I can't say that I loved this issue, I am not giving up hope for what is to come.

This is far from the worst issue of Iron Man I've ever read. However, I have to say that the run went out with a bit of a whimper. Solid artwork kept me entertained but I just could not get interested in the story taking place here. I'm hopeful for the future of my favorite character and I look forward to what this creative team does next.

Have you read this issue? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments below!

What can I say? This was the perfect second issue. I am so excited for the trajectory of this series. Incredible art mixed with wonderful writing of my favorite character… Iron Man is back baby!

Surprise surprise, I loved an issue of this Iron Man run. At only three issues so far this story has me so deeply invested that I cannot wait to see what happens next. This is Iron Man in all his perfectly armored glory!

Another 10/10 and this book is peak Iron Man storytelling! At this point I’ll be surprised if this run doesn’t go down as one of the best Iron Man runs in decades.

This is the most fun I’ve had reading a comic in years! It’s the team up I didn’t know I needed. The quick wit of Spider-Man mixed with the technical speak of Tony and Norman, along with the killer reveal of the villain and the button at the end? This is an easy perfect score and I cannot wait to see where this story goes next month!

Iron Man is exactly what I want it to be. It’s fun, action packed, and dives into the complex physique of Tony Stark. Each issue in this series has been an absolute blast and the tension keeps a slow build pace that makes me want to read the next issue as soon as I finish the last. If you aren’t reading this run of Iron Man, it’s time to start!

This mini-series has been amazing and so much fun to read. Olivia and her team have taken the horror genre, and put a new classic comic in there. Everyone should go and read this to see what it takes to escape a mass murdering session.

A new team, an unfamiliur writer, and a team of artists I've never seen before had an uphill battle to win me over to this team of New Champions. As a fan of the original team of Champions, I admit I was skeptical of this group. I can say, without hesitation that this was a great first issue. New Champions #1 is a wonderful jumping on point that drops the reader into the middle of a story without making them feel lost. Great job to this team overall, I am excited to see where this story goes.

With another solid outing for this second issue, this creative team continues to keep me interested in where the story is going. As I get older and come to the realization that I am no longer the target demographic for new young heroes, I am delighted to say that this team of New Champions is one I am excited to keep following.

This series continues it's upward trend with another solid outing. From story to artwork this was just an absolute blast to read. I'm looking forward to more of this creative team and this team of young fresh superheroes!

Another issue of New Champions, another solid outing. I continue to be impressed by this creative team and the young team of heroes they are putting on the page. The New Champions are working toward a bright future in the ever expanding Marvel Universe!

I'm officially hooked on this series. This issue was just good old-fashioned comic book FUN! This is such a great team of young heroes that is perfect for new and old readers. This series reminds you why you love comic books!

Two weeks in a row, New Champions is a 10! This book just continues to be a blast to read. The writing and art are excellent and the story just keeps getting better and better. This book is at the top of my pile each week that it drops and I don't see that stopping any time soon!

While this issue was not the slam dunk that the previous issue was, I still had a great time reading it. This was a bridge between the last arc and the one to come and, while it could have been a boring filler issue, I am very much looking forward to where the story is going to go next month.

This is an easy 10/10, as a long-time Nova fan, this scratches every itch that I've had while waiting on a new series for the Human Rocket. Great action, a respect for the character's history, and a story that puts Nova in a very uncomfortable position that he's never been in before? This series just shot to the top of my pull list with the very first issue!

This issue continues the trend set by the first, a great story that honors the past while setting up a new status quo for Nova. Fantastic writing, action-packed art, and the promise of big things to come make this one a must-read!

Surprise surprise, this is another 10/10. Beautiful art, an intriguing storyline, and some much needed revenge make this issue a must read for every cosmic Marvel fan!

Have you read this issue? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

Nova Centurion is the bright spot that I look forward to every month. Each issue is full of fun and action and is exactly what I want out of the Marvel Cosmic Universe. This issue continues the streak of perfection and left me on the edge of my seat to see what comes next!

This is the best depiction of Nova’s power that I have ever seen! This was a fantastic way to wrap up the current arc and set the stage for anything to come next. I will be reading this one multiple times with a huge smile on my face!

Overall, this was a fun story set in the sequel trilogy. The characters were well written and the art served the story well. However, with Hyperspace Stories being an anthology series, it is hard to get really excited for a story knowing that it will not continue and that did dampen my enjoyment of the issue. This is, however, a good time for fans of Star Wars and for any fan wanting to learn more about Kylo Ren and the First Order.

Stranger Things: Tales From Hawkins 2 #1 is another homerun for Dark Horse in their Stranger Things line of comics. The story is quick and fun and the art is a wonderful companion to the story. I'm really looking forward to the rest of this limited series!

With two issues down, Stranger Things: Tales From Hawkins 2 is off to an incredibly strong start. This anthology series is exactly what fans need to hold them over until next season. Excellent storytelling, wonderful art, and the joy of being dropped back into Hawkins make this limited series an easy recommendation.

While I appreciate the big swing of centering a story around this intense character, I feel like there just wasn't quite enough there for an entire issue. While this was in no way a bad story, when compared to the first two issues in this series, this is a slight step down.

This is everything I am looking for in a Stranger Things comic! Writing and artwork that go hand in hand to give the reader the same thrills and chills of the Netflix series. I'm very sorry that this is the last issue of this mini series, I could go on reading books like this for a long time.

I went into this issue expecting an underwhelming story meant to hold me over between seasons of Stranger Things. So, imagine my surprise when I finished reading and immediately wanted more of this story instead of the next season. Eddie Munson is a beloved character and one that most fans of this franchise want more of. I am so happy to report that this series is poised to give us all that we want from the character and more. If you love Stranger Things, Dungeons & Dragons, or just well told stories, don't miss out on this book!

This series could easily be just a run of the mill prequal story. However, thanks to an interesting story well told and immersive art to go with it, this series is quickly becoming a must read for anyone who loves either Stranger Things or Dungeons & Dragons.

As this series heads towards it's finale I find myself intrigued and disappointed. Intrigued at how this series will tie up, and disappointed that it will be over so soon. This book has made me miss these characters even more than I already did. However, it has been a wonderful story that has been keeping me satisfied until Stranger Things Season 5 drops.

This is a very solid TMNT book. While I'm clearly not the target audience, I found myself enjoying the fast pace and fun action overall. If you're a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan or you have a kid that is, this is an easy recommendation.

This story deserved to be reprinted. For a book that was released twenty-four years ago, it didn't feel dated in any way. This book proves that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are a timeless team that can delight readers for decades and still keep us coming back for more.

Solid artwork couldn't save this issue from the slow pace and confusing writing. While I understand that this is an English adaptation of a French story, the adaptation still has to be enjoyable. I just couldn't get on board with this issue. I hope that the writing catches up to the artwork in the next issue.

The Rocketeer should always be, at it's heart, a fun action story in the vein of swashbuckling adventures. This book is shaping up to be just that. While my only history with the character is the film adaptation, I never felt like I was lost or needed to go back to figure out any other comic backstory.

I have not been reading any of the Fall of X story. I was concerned going into this book that I would be lost and have a hard time following the story. However, between the summary at the beginning of the issue and excellent writing throughout, I was never lost. I found myself wanting to pick up other X titles and catch up on everything. That is what you want, you want a story to grab you and want more. I'm very happy to have read this issue and I cannot wait to see where the story goes from here! Do yourself a favor and don't miss out on this one. Even if you're behind on the mutants in the Marvel Universe.

While I'm not reading any of the other X-Men titles, this book continues to give me the information that I need to not be completely lost. It is no easy feat to bring a reader into a part of a larger story without them feeling lost. However, with masterful writing and fantastic artwork, Uncanny Avengers is doing just that! If you have not picked up this title, do yourself a favor and check out the first two issues. You won't regret it, and you will be frothing at the mouth for the next chapter of the story!

With incredible story telling, great action, and cover to cover entertainment, Uncanny Avengers #4 is an absolute win! All of that plus a final page reveal, that I won't spoil here, that left me excited, confused, and terrified for this new Unity Squad. This issue, as well as, this series is pure Marvel Perfection!

At the end of the day, Uncanny Avengers is a great read that I wish was an ongoing story. This creative team did a great job of delving into a diverse group of heroes and I would love to see more from this team and the Avengers Unity Squad in the near future!

This is one of my favorite books of 2023. If you are a fan of Usagi Yojimbo, samurai, action, or Saturday Morning Cartoons, do yourself a favor and read this one! I cannot wait to see where this story goes next and I can say that I will be picking up every Usagi Yojimbo title going forward. This issue created a fan!

This is about as perfect a first issue as you can get! Incredible art and a perfectly paced story make this one a must read for every Marvel fan. The set up, action, and final button teasing what is to come are all perfectly executed. I was looking forward to this book for a long time and now that it is here, I cannot wait to see what this team has in store!

Once again this book is perfection. The entire creative team works so well together to craft a fun narrative with beautiful artwork. This is my favorited book right now hands down. With only two issues out, it's still a great time to jump on, you don't want to miss out. Especially with the tease of what's to come at the end of this issue.

This series continues to be my favorite pick up each week. With a heavy emphasis on Marvel's past while still building towards the future, West Coast Avengers is the easiest recommendation on the stands now.

Another issue of West Coast Avengers, another perfect rating. This series has been a hit from the beginning and I don't see any signs of it slowing down yet. The entire creative team is flowing together and putting out some of the best comic books I've read in a long time.

Each issue of this series has been phenomenal, yet it somehow keeps getting better. This is my favorite book on the shelves right now by a mile. The entire creative team is putting together something special and this is a series that is not to be missed!

Another perfect score for my favorite book on the shelves now. From the cover to the writing and the artwork, this series has been one hit after the other. This issue continues the trend of greatness for this series, I'm not sure how they keep topping themselves but I'm looking forward to them doing it again next month!

I loved this issue. It doesn't hurt that one of my favorite, and most underrated, Avengers is back in Wonder Man. However, the emotion and action on display in this book is what really made it soar. With an amazing story, wonderful art, and the promise of what is to come West Coast Avengers is a must read!

If you are tired of seeing me give this book perfect scores, that's too bad! This issue is just another bright spot in a series full of incredible art and fantastic storytelling. With a terrifying villain and real emotional stakes, this is the best Avengers book on the stands now.

I'm sure people are getting tired of seeing these perfect scores with this series but I can't help it. This book has been consistently, my favorite book to read each month. Drama, action, betrayal, and a killer villain design, this issue was absolutely flawless!

The perfect end to the perfect Avengers story. This issue wrapped up every plot point while doubling down on the message that even the worst villain can change given the opportunity. This has been, without a doubt, the best Avengers story in years!
