Screaming Enigma's Profile

Another good issue, but also one that falls in line with the other two. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, but I was hoping for a little more with the first West Coast Avengers title since 2018-2019. In any case, I might have to say that this was my favorite issue of the book so far. There were still some things that weren't my favorite, but I like the concept for the Gospel of Ultron so far and I'm definitely still interested in the book.more

I feel pretty much the same way I felt about the previous issue. I like this and it's pretty enjoyable for what it is, but it's just not reaching that next level for me. At least, not yet. Kim continues to put out super solid interiors, and Duggan has multiple intriguing things happening, though they aren't coming together as strongly as I would like. Additionally, some of the dialogue and interac tions don't come across as naturally as I think was intended. In any case, I do think this is good overall.more

It's a pretty solid start, though I'm not 100% sold on this concept quite yet. There are a good amount of things I like here, but I'm going to have to read more to make a stronger opinion on it. That said, Kim's art is largely a strong point of this. There were certain panels that weren't my favorite, but I thought a lot of his interiors here were very promising.

Solid book again, but one that also feels like it falls more in line with the rest of this run's last few issues, in terms of quality. Nothing was bad here at all, though, but nothing was absolutely fantastic. So, yeah, a pretty harmless run that was largely enjoyable for what it was.

In comparison to the last two issues, I feel pretty much the same about this one. I don't really have much to say, unfortunately. With the next issue being the last of the series, I hope it ends up ending on a relatively high note, as I do think this story has potential to be better.

overall this was a really solid series. I enjoy Jeff Lemire's consistent writing, the art, and his work on hte characters. I will definitely re-read this again, and It was nice seeing the Justice Society of America meet Wonder Woman. Might check out other JSA books

Another solid read for what it is, but also one that I wasn't super big on. I thought Guara's interiors worked better for me than they have previously, so that was nice. However, the story isn't the most interesting to me. There are things about it that I like, but it's not something I'm incredibly excited about. I still liked this a good amount overall, though.

A solid read, but also not my favorite. I liked this more when it started, but it began to lose me as it went on. Something that particularly annoyed me was the members of The Assembly mentioning each other's names, as it read like it was purely there to explicitly name the characters for the reader. It's just the way they did it that kind of bugged me, and it's something I've seen many times from reading comics and watching television and such. Anyways, yeah. Also, I must have misunderstood something when writing my review of #6, as I thought Guara was just filling in, but it appears he's here to stay. Not mad about that at all, but I was largely liking what Carola Borelli was doing before him.more

A pretty solid read, even if it can be seen as a filler issue in-between Jessica deciding to leave New York and her actually getting to San Francisco, especially with Guara filling in on interiors. Though, I thought this was good nonetheless. Guara does a nice job throughout this, and I thought Star's appearance was pretty enjoyable as well.

With Gang War out of the way, I'd call this the best issue so far. I thought we got a nice conversation between Jessica and Carol here, and I largely enjoyed the former's dynamic with Spider-Boy. He wasn't a character I thought I would care much about when he was first revealed, but I actually do like his backstory quite a bit.

A pretty good ending to the run. A lot of times, the ending to a book can feel rushed due to the need to tie up all loose ends within the space of a single issue, but Duggan does a really nice job of avoiding that problem and pacing just about everything well, along with making this feel like a fairly natural ending point for his run on the character.

Another fun read, but also another one of the run's weaker issues. I think I prefer this issue over the last one, but I like them for their own, different, reasons. I will say I liked Di Vito's art in this issue a bit more than that of Creees Lee in the previous one. Additionally, I thought the dynamic between Tony and Rhodey was written fairly well. I, particularly, enjoyed how this issue ended, and I'm hoping the next issue ends this series on a relatively high note.more

Something I really loved about this run is that in spite of it being directly tied to X-Men, it remained an Iron Man comic. You could feasibly read this and not any of the X-Men stuff, and still get your fix. But this issue kinda fucks that up. And while I'm sure next issue will rebound, I'm slightly concerned it won't.

It was fun for what it was, but I'd also have to call this one of the run's weaker issues, unfortunately. Wasn't super big on Lee's interiors here, as they were a little on the blander side. Magneto, especially, was a little strange to look at. I felt like he appeared younger than he should have. Anyways, yeah, solid issue, but nothing all that special.

I understand the argument of this being a lot of filler, though I disagree that something being filler inherently makes it bad or is a negative. I thought the dreamlike stuff with Tony was pretty good, and it's only made better by Zircher's interiors. I thought it was just well-written and well-drawn, in general, and I'm looking forward to seeing Tony working with Magneto.

Super solid first issue. This does everything you would expect a #1 to do, and it does it pretty well, in my opinion. Garbett's art looks really good throughout, and Phillips does a nice job establishing not just Matt's positioning in this new run, but a new villain as well. There isn't enough for me to really go off of here to form a solid opinion on Omen quite yet, but I'm definitely interested to see more.more

Kind of a weird ending to the series, in my opinion. Wasn't all that into this until the fight with Kingpin, which I thought was solid. Though, a lot of that felt like we were getting a new arc for this book, rather than an ending. However, I have to mention the ending of this with Matt and Elektra. That really felt like it came out of nowhere. Elektra has been making it pretty clear throughout th e strong majority of this run that she thinks it's best for herself and Matt to only be together for "work" stuff. While ending up where they do isn't a bad idea, I don't think it was executed in a way that felt natural, unfortunately. I'm not sure if Ahmed's run got cut short, but this is all still unfortunate, nonetheless.more

Yeah, I really don't think this run is THAT bad, but there still isn't a whole lot that's really grabbing me. Soares is, easily, the best part of this issue, as his interiors are just fantastic. The story is...largely solid? It's not great, but I don't think it's bad whatsoever. Some of the dialogue is a little cheesy for me, but I thought the majority of it was good. With the next issue being the last for Ahmed, I hope this run can end on the highest note it can.more

Okay, so, like, it's not even bad. Listen, the romantic drama with Elektra? Not really something I want from a Daredevil comic and I'd rather it either not be written the way it's being written or just not be there at all. However, I'm a huge Taskmaster fan, and I think Ahmed writes him fairly well here. Furthermore, Soares gives us a great full page of him when he fully shows up. Like, it absolut ely rocks. However, the story is definitely lacking. I mentioned the romance stuff, but everything else is purely solid. It's good on its own, though I do think some of the harsher criticism of this run stems from comparing this to other Daredevil runs. Which I do understand. Daredevil has one of the richest history in comics, in terms of book quality. However, I try not to let that influence how much I like the current stuff.more
