What part was woke? Not asking aggressively, I legit don’t remember a woke part in this issue.

"The central plot doesn't move."
The last few panels moves the story forward swiftly, blatantly and brutally.

I give your review - gabeisaballbag/10
This continues to be amongst the best comics running, if not the best. The development and reveal for Quinn is marvelous. The plotting with Grimm is fantastic. Th

Absolute Batman #22
As the Robins nest in Gotham’s backyard, and Batman faces ultimate defeat, Harley Quinn’s origin is revealed. How does Harley connect with Ark M, and how did the Robins fledge from hatchlings to birds of prey? The call of more than one predator will be answered in this issue.
Daredevil #4
MATT MURDOCK is being pursued by the new and dangerous OMEN. A violent offender with a trail of corpses in his wake, he means for Matt Murdock to be next, with only DAREDEVIL between the two!
This series has been hit or miss but this was definitely a hit. Although the ending does have me worried on whether or not King will be able to successfully land this.
Wonder Woman #34
Diana and Steve’s bittersweet reunion is cut short by the Matriarch and her plans to destroy Wonder Woman. Can Trinity save her parents and the world? You won’t want to miss the riveting conclusion of “The Wonder War” Act One!
Superman #39

Maybe the next issue will be more engrossing but this was not a great start. Art is cool but not enough to fill in the lack of dialogue. I don’t really even know what’s happening yet.
The Eye Collector #1
The startling first issue of the strangest series on the stands! An ancient being has its curiosity toward Earth reignited when the humans of the Apollo 10 mission make wishes over the Moon. What is this spectral creature, and what does it want with our world? Seeing is believing…
This feels like a very forced retcon for the upcoming issue 1000. It's powerful don't get me wrong. May keeping this all this time makes sense in context. It's devastating. I hope it doesn't all turn out to be a fake out. That would be the most tragic. I also just don't see what it really adds to the world of Spider-Man. Is this going to be a recurring element or just a one off to sell an issue? T more
Amazing Spider-Man #31
THE TALK... Peter Parker's world will never be the same. Don't miss one of the most pivotal issues in Spider-Man history!
The Trillion Dollar Kid #1
“THE UNBELIEVABLES,” Part One Among us are…The Unbelievables, and Tommy Townsend III—the world’s first 13-year-old trillionaire—wants to find them! His world abounds with wonder and spectacle, including a robot bodyguard named Sterling, all trying to make the world a better place. But Tommy learns quickly that money can’t buy everything…and propels...
Best issue in awhile. Sometimes these books read too quickly but this one felt very full and emotional. Still one of the best series of the last decade.
Something is Killing the Children #48

Is Jessica’s past experience at the Lodge the key to their survival?

Absolute Batman #21
Friends become enemies. Enemies become friends. Final forms are revealed, and Scarecrow’s reign of terror threatens to upend everything.
Proof that bad and woke comics can be successful.

I don't think anything here is. Things we wouldn't have batted an eyelash at once upon a time have been extremified for the last ten years and now EVERYTHING can feel like it has a political "vibe". Maybe saying the soft spot is where the real power comes from? Prob referring to the series as a whole. Race/gender swaps ect. Woke? Maybe a little. I don't think so, but bad??? No way. This title is epic.
I’m a simple man. I like a big cool fight occasionally. Not ever book needs to be a masterwork. It’s okay to just have fun sometimes and this is that.
Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #10
BATTLE BEAST vs. CONQUEST! At long last—it's the fight everyone has always wanted!
Wonderful. Lemire continues to nail this run.
Absolute Flash #13
Wally tries to pick up the pieces of his life after the battle at Fort Fox. Adrift and unsure what to do, the young speedster looks for a way forward.
Not as interesting as the first issue imo. But my god is the art so beautiful that it doesn’t even matter.
Zatanna #2
With a murderous plague spirit on the loose, the Mistress of Magic makes a stop in Memphis, Tennessee, hoping to find aid in a ghostly and melodious ally. However, the enigmatic Agent Di Manes of the Department of Occult Affairs lurks in the shadows, biding his time, going over his own script, ready for his cue.
Lee’s art is the best part and even that feels like he read the script and said”why waste my time on this?” Does anyone actually want a part 2? At this point I rather have more of frank millers all star run. Loeb is a great writer but this further proves that even he misses, he misses big. The dialogue is terrible and cheesy. The plot is nonsense. And not a single character feels like themselves. more
Batman #163
The shocking conclusion to “H2SH” Part One with Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee! Will Batman survive Hush’s revenge when his only allies are his greatest enemies?
I didn’t pick up these series expecting it to be this fun and interesting. This was a solid end to a really great series.
Sirens: Love Hurts #4
As winter melts to spring and the marriage of power couple Black Canary and Green Arrow looms large in Gotham City, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy struggle to pick up the shattered pieces of their friendship-turned-situationship…and a shocking revelation turns Catwoman’s relationship with Batman upside down. Even the bride- and groom-to-be face their ...
A 10 to counter Masked Marvel's inevitable review bombing.
Venom #258
THREE'S A CROWD! In the aftermath of Death Spiral, Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker have a long overdue heart-to-heart...but when the masks go on, Venom and Spider-Man have some unfinished business! And one way or another, this is going to lead to a BIG change for Venom and MJ!
How have they not done something to get rid of you at this point? Beyond nasty. Edit: They finally got rid of him!
Hopefully this is the start of getting ASM back on the right track. Brian seems like he could be a fun villain as well. It’s not a perfect issue but you’d have to be an absolute loser to give it a 1.0. Especially without an explanation or allowing people to comment and call you out.
Amazing Spider-Man #29
BEST FR(ENEMIES)! Spider-Man's best friend's life shattered by a terrible accident - and Peter Parker is to blame! Is there a new villain on Spidey's block?
The car crash and the ending was a little unbelievable but f@ it! The art is great and this was a fun issue. It's okay to have an issue occasionally that doesn't make a great stride forward in the story. It's okay to just enjoy reading sometimes haha.
Batman #5
A night out with Bruce Wayne goes off the rails immediately for Dr. Annika Zeller-it seems her experimental Crown of Storms has her marked for death. And if they survive the legendary 000 Gang, they'll still have to confront the sinister assassin known as The Ojo!
The old site he used to write reviews for collapsed because it was run by a bunch of troglodytes. Now he goes running to another one that operates very similarly. Expect to see him back here posting on a user account soon.
