DRAMAAAAA

Incredible as always. Cathartic in the darkest ways.

There's just something classic about this series that I love so much.

I get a good mystery required patience, but this feels like theyre drawing a lot of this out. Not saying it's bad, it's just starting to get kinda boring and expected.

OOF

Beautiful!

the best issue of this series so far feels like its from another series !

Absolutely loved this issue.

LOVING THIS BOOK

Incredible. Devoured every single panel.

W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo really delivered with this one.

need more!

This book is FANTASTIC

A step up the last few issues!

OOF

Started off interesting, the art is still great. I am not feeling any particular way to where this story went. It lost some of its spark.

A ton of fun and interesting, surprising direction to take! Though all the different skin tones on Jamie depending on the artist was distracting lol

Loved this issue !

This was a great issue, and if Rowell continues this trend, the start of another fun arc for our jade goddess.

Tis decent, I miss the artist from the last run but Ziglar has got a better handle on his storytelling strengths. Hope the book continues on an upward trajectory!

Fantastic

Fantastic arc. High stakes both physical and emotional. Plenty of action mixed in with great character moments. Built up to this climax and a cliffhanger?! Blue Beetle is is a fantastic BOOK.

For all the crazy shenanigans happening here, this really should be much more interesting than it's coming across.

G. Willow Wilson is killing it with this book. So happy to be able to read this month to month.

IDK, I AM ENJOYING THE HELL OUT OF THIS. LIKE... WOW... FOR REAL. THIS IS FUN.

Loving this quite a bit

DAMN

Oh no, the art changed... but this is still a pretty good issue that's a blast!

I don't get the haters. This series is so much fun, and I'm going to miss it ;___;

Loving this book!

I don't like BEAST WORLD.

OOSH

Loved this issue. Damn.

One of Duggan's most inspired moments lacks the punch it could have had. Still, had me reeling for what happens next.

A stronger ending to a muddling series with GREAT ideas and GREATER artwork. Glad it's going to continue, but the series needs to do more to stand out and have clearer storylines.

Feels rushed. Has an ending been ordered? A lot happens in this issue and I like the majority of it but some of the movements here dont pack the punch they should.

What's the phrase... We are so back

Love to read it

Stunning.

Intriguing, but this is getting messy.

Is this going where I think it's going? Because if so this is some of the most messed up shiz Tynion has written so far.

A strong start with great artwork and an intriguing hook. Finally getting around to read this BIG STACK OF COMICS I PILED UP OVER THE HOLIDAYS

wop wop wop

OK, Gillen. This was the most WICKED and the DIVINE issue of the X MEN ever.

An solid, fantastic first arc comes to a close with a series worthy of it's title.

This series has been so strange and so dense but a part of me has been enjoying, this issue kinda knocked it out of the park.

Oh boy, I am loving this.

Ah, this one was excellent.

Interesting stuff, if a little meandering ..

This issue hit me like a ton of bricks. Beautiful, horrifying, dark, and intense.

Undine is so pretty. Issue kinda just ends.

There's something very 2000s about this series lol

Same, Sable, Same.

I AM EMOTIONAL

Had a great time with this one, picks up the pace, makes better use of the space. In Rowell, I trust!

Surprised this was released after the drama that's unfolded online. But public domain does include DC afterall. Things ramp up like crazy and Fables gears for a showdown. L O L at Cinderella.

Love this boook!

Martin Simmonds's artwork is incredible!

THE CITY

Wish Ryan Jampole drew the whole thing.

OOF

Simon S being Simon! Existentialism, religion, faith, fundamentals. Unsure where it's all going but this is more WAY OF X / CODA than it is HELLBLAZER / DAMN THEM ALL. Art is fantastic.

Jesus

LOVED THIS. THE ARTWORK. OMG THE ARTWORK. I have so much hope for this series.

PLOT GETS SLIMEY

Fantastic first issue

Great, fun ideas, being rushed through without being able to connect to any of these characters on a level that isn't just the tropes and archetypes they're based off of.

Inspector Insector is the best.

Lots of gay, silly fun.

So happy this series got another volume.

What a fun book. I'm gonna miss it.

Really vibed with this one

Enjoying this one quite a bit

A little predictable and repetitive

It is neat

Epic

A strong entry with some great character moments and intriguing plot intros.

Love what's happening! No idea where it's going, I hope it pays off! Alt timelines being explored ala Moira... but to what end? Hope it's not just because it's cool...

This issue was so much fun, art was great, some FANTASTIC moments across the board with all the characters. Gerry Duggan knocked this out of the park, I hope the rest of the series continues with this energy.

The series comes more alive than it's ever been here.

VERY intriguing.

LOL I really enjoyed this

Feels like a sister series to NICE HOUSE ON THE LAKE

GOD I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Another fantastic issue!

It's giving THE CITY WE BECAME a bit Which I love but this isn't AS good yet

Interesting start, with a good tone. Not sure I understand the premise but Im sure its just what the rest of the series will be for. Let's see where it goes.

And so the arc closes. Some fun ideas half baked into a disappointing adventure. Silk honestly deserves better storyarcs. This coulda been an email.

An exposition filled issue. Unfortunately, not really that interesting.

Not the finish one would hope for when the series began. It feels unfinished. Love the artwork as always and some versions of these characters work really well. Just hope the next arc (cuz it is coming...) is plotted more effectively.

Another fantastic issue. God I love the Doom Patrol.

OUCH, this issue's greatest strength is it's greatest weakness. It is touching on storylines that are occurring in tandem across a variety of books, so if you're following those books, a lot of this feels very familiar and if you're NOT following those books, this is going to feel INCOMPLETE. But setting that ASIDE, there's still some problems, for example Shadowkat and Firestar. That plot line had so much potential and drama that the way its handled here feels like an afterthought. Also an afterthought... the cover of this issue and the stunt behind one of Fall of X's biggest plot threads... this was not a satisfying way to get to a wedding... I love a lot of what's happening with FALL OF X, but X-MEN 26 as an issue feels like it's rushing through everything.

Something REALLY interesting happening in this book with the metaphor for Kamala's idenity now being portrayed as a MUTANT. A connection I somehow missed with all the HELLFIRE GALA surprises. (I did not know about Ms Marvel being a mutant until I read the Gala). But like... weird that Bruno would be OK going to a program like that while being so openly anti-mutant and how Kamala is now openly in such a hostile environment... I wonder how they're going to handle all of that, if at all... But Im intrigued!

FANTASTIC STUFF

There's a LOT I love about this, the artwork, the colors, the b-horror movie magic. Queer horror is like my favorite of the newer genres exploding right now. But this issue felt like a kid getting super excited to play with all his toys they through everything in. It's a LOT and it's messy and while I get what it's going for, the pace is just NOT IT and it's unsatisfying. Maybe because not every issue is guaranteed and to have the space to tell a story you're clearly passionate about is a super, huge gift but let the tale breath. It's good enough on it's own, you don't need to convince me. Now make me fall in love with it.

A very strong, and successful relaunch for Thor. Al Ewing is aiming for skies with this one.

Excellent addition to this current HELLFIRE GALA saga, where are they going from here?!

There were things I enjoyed, but Im glad this event is over because at this point, it got super repetitive.

MESS

We lost steam

Not my favorite so far for sure... Ill give it a chance

Off to a very strong start!

Fantastic art, fantastic story. loved it

War is here, things are happening fast, not gonna lie, some of this feels like what do we do with Mars while FALL OF X is happening? Its not as interesting as I think it could be.

Got stuck with the DISGUSTING Greg Land cover... WHACK. But omg this was another good debut. FALL OF X so far is off with a BANG.

This has the potential to be so much fun and interesting, I hope they can keep this energy up!

Art and dialogue off the chain. Immediately wanted to read the next issue. Very strong debut issue from Kelly Thompson.

A seemingly stand-alone, back to basics, type of crossover event that matches the tone and aesthetic of its characters with a strong central core. I may pick up the rest of this as well for the spooky elements and the artwork!

First book from Deniz Camp that I read and it was really engaging. Gotta set aside the EARTH-SHATTERING stuff that MAY or may NOT be referenced in other titles alongside... idk... the death of all mutants... It's a LOT, it's a LOT all at once and my suspension of disbelief can only go so far. But the core main characters of Cable and Bishop are a brilliant care and Camp and Maresca do their best to make these big-ass pills easy to swallow.

This book is fucked up LOL

Fizzles out. The miniseries introduced some very interesting, complex, scary questions on authority, grief, and why good people do bad things. But it's nowhere near equipped nor has the space to explore any of these themes in any meaningful ways.

Still better than some of the others but ultimately kinda just there.

This event lost steam fast.

PERFECT. I loved this issue. It was ripped straight out of the SANDMAN UNIVERSE. Writing is fantastic, it's just emotional and cryptic enough to give me chills. I hope the rest of this saga is just as good as this. I love me some bad bitches.

Hellfire Gala Part 2! Enjoyed the hell out of it and I wanted the next issue immediately after finishing this! Excited!

Classic Orlando writing here. As in to say, there's something missing to make this click which is disappointing. Will try a few more issues but BOBBY DESERVES A GREAT SERIES.

BONUS PAGES?! It's like 2009 again! A decent issue with lots of story

Really enjoyed this, hope the next launch keeps up with THIS pace. THOSE LAST PAGES <3 <3 <3

This arc is not it.

Off with another BANG

Matthew Rosenberg continues to knock it out of the park.

X-Force continues to read like pulpy b-sci-fi magazine tales. And tbh, I've always loved it for that.

Love the design of this new villain. Let's see where this goes!

And we're back.

Lot of standing around and talking but there are some great moments between some of these characters. The trope Damian's role is in this is one of my least favorites, I find it boring. There's an interesting pattern emerging in how Taylor writes Harley. Will Jon be successful in changing hearts? Somehow don't see this being satisfying resolved in one more issue.

I don't want this book to END.

The first tale is fantastic! I WANT MORE OF THAT PLEASE. Give Josie Campbell and Juan E. Ferreyra a Justice League Dark book please. The second tale was boring so the rating is really for the first.

OMG, this isn't good. Boring, derivative, uninteresting, obvious. Not even those reading the main title may enjoy this so who's it for?

Very tropey and predictable! But the art is really nice and the characters are likable. Gonna check out a few more issues and see where it goes. Though I think I know where it's going, there's one path I hope it goes but I doubt it'll go there. lol

Thrilling from beginning to end.

I wanna see a horror movie made from this so BADLY. Fantastic series.

Fantastic, creepy, and effective. Hairball is gonna be a top series this year.

Waid embraces classic dream logic to send Mary down a road to her worse nightmares. Hints at a tie to the main Knight Terror plot-line, but... it probably doesn't mean anything.

Similar to a few of these tie-ins, inconsequential to Knight Terrors. Fans of the flash series will get a hoot out of this one.

OK, so many of these are so similar.

Enjoyed this a lot as a Poison Ivy fan, the art was CREEPING me out for sure. As part of Knight Terrors it is inconsequential.

Kind of predictable, but still effective. These cliffhangers are gonna be a problem.

I enjoyed this start quite a bit, almost wish it was its own epic miniseries in the style of DC vs Vampires, not sure how the rest will go but I will proceed with caution!

Love a lot what it's doing. Wish the story had a TON more room to breath but with comics... sometimes you don't get all the space you desire. At the very least, there's a ton of interesting, engaging plot.

Loved it, loved it, loved it.

OMG, I really loved this issue. Damn SCOUNDREL is so annoyingly charming but JACK OF HEARTS is just sooooooooo heartachingly emotional. Though, it's clear who of the two is the better choice.

The ISSUE with this ISSUE is that there's some trouble balancing the plot that matters with the movie-plot inside the plot that doesn't matter. Maybe if the issue would have OPENED inside the fake film going on in Silk's head first and then go outside to the plot that directly affects her, but even so, without being able to thematically or satisfyingly tie the two threads together what we are left with is a story where SILK is actually just ASLEEP inside her own book and everyone else around has the action.

Damn, kinda sad to see this one go. Def feels there was way more gas in this tank. And NO R. B. Silva on the art? Kind of insulting... But that's the business I guess...

Now to wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

First issue where the constraints of the limited series feel, we are rushing through story like crazy.

Quiet enjoyed the start of this. Made me realize how much I miss classic Buffy and Brielle so far is a worthy companion.

UGH so good

Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo are going for that second Eisner, I see.

They still got it.

Never expected to love this book as much as I have. It is one I look forward to monthly. It tickles my queer-horror-loving-self in all the best ways.

Excellent. Really excellent.

MacKay is just a really good, fun writer that's here to give us some classics. Let's see how long before it gets overly complicated as most Avengers tales tend to go.

Really enjoying this arc

This series gets better and better.

Enjoyed this more than the first! Now I wanna meet the rest!

I am really enjoying this arc, it's The Boys but in DC with Taylor's philosophies. I am finding it all very engaging. Taylor likes to take large swings with established characters and his schtick has become to make these swings using the cheat of multiverses and elseworlds. Use the established character tropes to then build upon them using his own style and plotlines. The moments here between Jon and Jay have been the best the couple has ever appeared in the comic. Super excited to see where this goes.

SICK

Gosh, I loved this issue, some of the artstyles was so CLASSIC VERTIGO, wish some of these peeps drew entire arcs, so good.

Sometimes I'm like I read too many comics, Im still reading comics, I should stop or slow down cuz im getting older and everything. Then I read something like this issue and I'm like, yeah, this is why I buy and read comics!

Great art, plots racing forward, all these separate strands starting to thread together. It took 8 issues but Tynion is finding the gold ever so present in Sandman stories.

I quite enjoyed this is a basics/classics kinda way. Hard not to compare to the incredible visuals and character we saw on the big screen just last week, but Nikesh Shukla and Abhishek Malsuni imbued the book with enough charm that I am hopeful to see where it goes. But Marvel, now would be the time to start planning a serious re-vamp if we want this character to succeed beyond a miniseries...

A solid start to another promising series from Taylor, but is he being spread too thin and what will set this apart from NIGHTWING? Time will tell.

A story is fun! B story Im kinda done with.

This book is consistent, unafraid to try new things, shake things up, but it always feels like itself, like Percy and X-FORCE. And, in this day and age, 40 issues in. That is RARE.

Omg, those final pages. Why are the panels SO wide. Love Clayton Henry's work though.

Fantastic

R. B. Silva's art continues to be the best thing about this series. Absolutely GORGEOUS. The plot is a bit... ho hum.

Great little series. A ton of fun. LMAO at what happens with MJ after this takes place.

I love Thessaly as a character but it's becoming clear that she should have had her own series or something.

Dad, dad, dad, dad, dad, dad

Complete missed opportunity.

Kelsey Ramsay's art is so good. Wondering where this will go!

Lots of fun stuff going on, just weird plotwise considering there's only 3 issues left.

Very fun idea for Silk and a good way to set her apart from the ever gigantic growing world of Spider-people. But this book got one thing I dislike about comics, ALL THOSE BIG VAST PANELS. Makes it a quick 3 minute read. Hope Kim and Guara are able to utilize their space a little better. I really like the plot and characterization.

They always bring it

Amazing

Really am loving this pace the series has found. IDK WHO JEN SHOULD PUSH

Decent finale, feels a little rushed, and I wish some elements from it were introduced earlier.

Si Spurrier really went OFF.

Gotta admit, I didn't know what to think of last month's twist. But this issue was SO MUCH FUN, I CANT WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK.

OH DEAR

Let's see where this goes

WHAT'S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE? #12 continues to provide the atmosphere and craziness that I've come to love the book for. 12 retreads some material from the past and it feels maybe a little too familiar, but a few reveals keep the book moving forward.

GASP. This issue was SO GOOD. AND NOW IM LIKE... SCREAMING? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Is James Tynion IV OK? The mysterious femme killer in this looks a lot like Bimini Bon Boulash.

Bang for your buck with a robust story and premise. There's a plot here that makes a comicbook trope into something quite literal and tbh I'm amazed it hasn't been done before. BUT... let's see if they stick the landing. So far, this arrow's been shot out FAR.

SOLID

Damn, I CRIED.

Ugh this was so GOOD. Picks up the last NIGHTMARE COUNTRY series in interesting ways that improve upon those 6 issues and get me excited for what comes next.

I'm intrigued.

This title is scratching an EPISODIC itch I desperately needed scratched. I love how each issue tells its own story with an overarching one. I love how we get to see these amazing female characters interact with Wanda and even have stories with characters that have a relationship with Wanda. It feels big, it feels grand, it feels emotional, and a lot of fun. Great book so far, and it has the potential to be even better. Hope they continue.

Oh, I loved it.

This was so much fun, can't wait to be on the rest of this ride. Wish it was a full ongoing, hopefully it sells well enough to warrant a good number of issues. DP IS BACK and in capable hands!

Twisted and demented.

A ton of fun, but this was a story that clearly needed more than four issues. It feels like a treatment for a much longer series.

This issue was perfect.

This is a really great comic, Zdarsky's brand of humor is soooo much fun.

LMAO this issue was SO funny. My favorite one so far. God, I hope this series becomes an FX series or something, I'm getting into it's groove.

I am intrigUED.

Tom King's cooking.

What can happen when you aren't tied to the constraints of continuity. Fantastic!

Quite enjoyable start so far, lots of great characters, high stakes, and its a tale brimming with potential!

R. B. Silva is SO good. Action, emotions, a satisfying climatic conclusion to this arc!

MORE MORE MORE

When Al Ewing gives it his all, he knocks it out of the park. I didn't get everything here, mostly cuz I'm skipping the other sinister books, but this was still quite enjoyable.

Great ideas, wish the build up was better but we're in it now and i hope this next arc finds solid ground next issue.

Artwork is cool! And the premise is interesting enough, they're just not that strong to justify a series like this. At least so far... not sure I'll continue with this one, and likely get the digital volume when its out.

Twisted in ways I didn't think possible, Hopeless is really capturing an intense emotion here that makes me excited for the upcoming conclusion.

Absolutely deranged. Artwork continues to be fantastic. The series aims to shock but it also successfully engages in surprising, satisfying turns.

Lots of great stuff here. Little room to breath, its clear Spurrier was against the clock with all the events and everything and his story wasnt allowed the room to breath. I love comics, but sometimes the industry gets in the way in really unsatisfying ways.

I love everything that's happening, but it's happening way TOO fast. These last three issues could have easily been 6. With this quick pacing, it's hard to really grasp onto the setting, concepts, characters, and emotional beats. It ends up feeling a bit like a treatment for some TV Show not in production.

Oh, we're running to the finish line I see.

Lots of potential here. Similar to another big concept tale focusing on the younger folk (Teenage Wasteland) the characterization and drama are a bigger draw than the "comic-booky apocalypse" thing happening.

This was so much fun! Let's get Al Ewing to write She-Hulk?! eh? eh?

The artwork continues to pull me through. Story is starting to feel a bit all over the place.

STUNNING

There's no way this is a miniseries... this has so MUCH potential

It felt like a dream, which is kinda great because that's probably how it felt for Ivy. Amazing issue.

I need this series to last a long time.

EXCELLENT

A new intriguing character introduced!

It's fun! If a little messy.

ACTION packed, but somehow, not as engaging...

This is so old school VERTIGO I'm so happy this exists !

King just knows how to tell a story.

Excited for the TEEN TITANS. Taylor's billionaire heart of gold vs a villain that crushes hearts is the type of hopeful wish fulfillment that tickles me. A prison turned into a symbol of hope and justice. If only.

Simon Spurrier you amazing BLOT.

Steve Orlando's best work by far with Marvel. This hit all the right spots. Writing is great and the ARTWORK IS AMAZING, OMG. Glad I gave this a chance because this has the potential to be a very great run. Premise is so good Marvel and Disney+ foaming at the mouth.

The DRAMA. Also this cover has to be my favorite, it is GORGEOUS.

Pornsak Pichetshote is giving us a tale of horrors, mystery, grief, and identity while also being super character driven. And I love it!

This shit is so twisted!

This is gonna be fun, could have been a whole event onto itself but Marvel is showing some restraint.

Oh boy, two more issues after this!

Holy crappers everything's collapsing at once!

The adventures continue and more, more, more of these kids are deciding to grow up.

The writing's just as strong as the first issue (which I loved). It's clear, though, that IOTW is more metaphor than literal plot with Issue 2 jumping to some crazy events that use more tropes than plot-driven material. Still, the artwork is great and the central characters are fantastic. Part of me wishes this was a simple ol HS drama though, not everything needs to be the end of the world.

Poetic, powerful, emotional, this one's going into the best of comics list.

This has been the best issue of X-FORCE in about half a year, tbh! When Percy hits, he hits! They're being a bit too friendly with BEAST though...

Something's off, the art is great and the character beats are still very cool. But I'll be honest folks, I have lost the PLOT. Few more issues to go!

Love this so much, the ARTSTYLE.

What a book. Holy crap.

Getting to think on some tough stuff.

LOL I loved this

A shucks! This drama is engaging!

Si Spurrier is one of my faves because he is filled with so MANY IDEAS and interesting PHILOSOPHIES that his work is a joy to read, unpack, and experience. Legion of X #8 is perhaps maybe overstuffed with these ideas. I love what I'm reading but in this issue in particular it becomes messy, hard to follow, and overly complex. I hope he is able to reign it in to give his characters a chance to breath. The cast here is HUGE and they all get such great moments to shine but they get also lost in the shuffle of monsters, spells, gods, and genes.

This issue felt more like they were trying to do MORE set up while dealing with something rather quickly. It was alright, I felt it should have required more of a punch! Still! While not as good as some of the stuff I've read before in this series, this was still an enjoyable plotted issue with some good development for some of the newer characters of the series.

Artwork is so good. Things are heating up almost casually so.

Tournament arc over and it's fun! Gene Luen Yang's Shang-Chi is getting yet another reboot (but not really) for the third time. It is tough out here for comics huh? But if that's what it takes then that is what it takes. 23 issues is very good in today's standards for series with a sole creative team. Let's see if they can get another 10.

Appreciate what it's trying to do, but this very talky issue could have worked better if we actually SAW everything they were talking about. Which all sounded super interesting.

A creative, powerful moment doesn't quite stick the landing considering the previous 8 issues we've gotten and the themes (lack of?) explored. Rowell's Shulkie run needs a bit of an overhaul even though I'm still really liking a lot of what she's doing and the artwork. This tale isn't as strong as it should be.

Pornsak Pichetshote would make an excellent serial television writer. The Dead Boy Detectives are back and they come back with a lot of promise! Now this book almost never sells well so I don't expect it to stick around more than 12 issues (if I am lucky) and Pichetshote has started off this latest adventure with a bang. I already need to know more, story heavy, character heavy, with fantastic art reminiscent of Vertigo's hayday... this series is going to be a TREAT.

Fun-fucking-tastic!

This is my current favorite ongoing. Sweeney Boo is serviceable and the writing is still top notch. I miss Tyler Boss though. This series continues to feel like a dream, love it so much.

Excellent, what a gift of a series.

Is Above Snakes the best comic of the year? And the best western in a while? Quite possibly, yes.

This was excellent. One of the best issues I've read all year.

OMG
