Set in the same world and Buzzkill, Paybacks is basically the suicide squad of this universe.

So we get a bunch of heroes, or maybe more villains, but they are working for the government and doing their bidding. However, if they don't do whatever they are commanded they are set to die. So when heroes get out of line or something goes bad they begin recruiting. This is basically a giant book of parody but a pretty damn fun one.

Good: The dialog is once again pretty damn funny. Donny has a knack for these things. I also enjoyed the art still, as I did with Buzzkill. I thought the characters were all pretty interesting too.

Bad: The story went so quick it felt uncompleted. I guess I wanted more and I don't know if we will ever get that. I also thought it took itself a bit too serious at times and worked better as commentary.

Overall a fun story, made me laugh quite a few times, but it wasn't enough to be very memorable. Donny crafts a fun story but his other work is usually stronger. A 3 out of 5.

This volume is bigger than the first, giving us a longer time period of jumping back and forth, a little history, and of course some awesome fights.

So the wars are heating up. Our favorite hero is still on his mission to murder the leader of the vikings in a honorable duel. What's great is he isn't a good guy himself. Not the typical hero you'd expect and even among horrible events such as death and rape he doesn't bother getting involved. On top of the main character we got a little background on other characters and how plans on fold. Some major events coming soon.

Good: The art is great. Some big badass fights happen in this one. Also I enjoy watching these adventures, even if they can be a tad slow, they have some seriously interesting characters. Also the ending, the build up, seems like it's coming to something major.

Bad: The pacing can be stilted at times by moments of slowness that they can speed through. Also the humor can be hit or miss.

Overall it's really enjoyable. It's dreadful at times, and sad, but it's still always entertaining. The winter months are slow, and the pacing goes down a bit, but picks back up by the end. A 4 out of 5.

This is it. A freaking MASTERPIECE of a volume. I forced myself not to read through it so quick because I didn't want it to end.

The Pike siblings are a interesting bunch. All very very different from each other. And we seen them as adults. Now let's go back. To the time before the youngest of the group had died. Tommy is a tragic character because he's so in the middle of life as a teenager. Dealing with shit like fitting in, being alone, feeling lost, and then on top of that the major headaches he gets. Then when his brothers/sisters problems are also presented in a really fasnating and non-cliche way, we get some of the best family drama ever.

Good: Usually not a huge fan of Lemire's art but it works great here. The writing is masterful, filled with heart and emotional bits that will make you smile, laugh, and cry. The dialog is nothing short of perfection, really giving a sense of reality to it all. The ending is both sad and intriguing.

Bad: Nothing.

This is Jeff at the top of his game. I will re-read this a few times in my life probably. While volume 1 was great, volume 2 is a masterpiece. Thank you Lemire. 5 out of 5.

I decided to go back and read some Wolverine stories. None, besides current run by Tom Taylor featuring Laura as Wolverine, have really impressed me. Finally, I found one that has.

Greg Rucka is one of my favorite writers. He just knows how to write dialog and a interesting story with it. Wolverine is very very solid revenge tale. It starts in a similar fashion you'd expect from Logan. He's a loner. He wants to be left alone. Staying at a little apartment minding his own business. But the whole first issue is actually the point of view of a young waitress with a dark past. It isn't until events later in the issue that lead to a bigger story. By the end we get Wolverine in his raged filled mode we all love.

Good: Love the shit out of the first three issues. Slow-burn but the build up is great. Logan is badass in here. Not over the top, not too many quips, just a man on a mission. Also the art is solid, and the covers are fantastic.

Bad: The ending feels rushed. Also the very ending with the "I'm going to find out what's happening" seemed tacky.

Overall this is great. A Wolverine/Logan story I could really get behind. This is up there with Tom Taylor's current Wolverine run. A 4 out of 5.

This is the perfect example of a book's ending that I didn't like much but it didn't stop me from loving 85% of this book.

So what's it about? A teenager called Dru wants to be a superhero. No, this isn't Kickass. This is a girl who believes in powers. She wants to become Spider-man or someone like Mr. Fantastic, or jut wants powers to save people. So we go through trial and error through the next few issues with her trying her best to become a hero but recreating the terrible events that created famous heroes. It's meta-commentary at it's finest with sharp and witty dialog. However, when her final mission becomes dangerous what will she do?

Good: I love the dialog, even if it isn't too realistic, it's always fun. It's like watching edge of seventeen or Juno, where the dialog sounds fake, but it's so sharp and funny you really don't care. I also really enjoyed the art. Which is funny since it's by the creator of THe Pro, which I gave a big fat 0 out of 5. But here it works well. The character development is great, and watching Dru interact with everyone works really well.

Bad: I DIDN'T like the ending at ALL!!! It was just....dumb. And then the "cliffhanger" will always be there because I don't think we're ever getting another one.

Overall, despite a bad ending, I loved it. It was well done, fun, and colorful. Well worth reading even with a poor ending. A 4 out of 5.

So Iron Fist isn't something I particularly like. I mean, he's a fine side character. He works well as a support character for Luke cage. By Himself though? Meh.

This wasn't bad though. It's basically ANOTHER tournament where Danny must prove why he's the strongest there is. The Iron Fist holder. The prot-- Whatever, you know it. So he must face challenges one on one, fighter to fighter, till he reaches the end to prove himself. That's it. I mean it. There's nothing really more than that no joke.

Good: The art is really solid. The fight scenes are brutal and can be really fucked up. Also Danny's names for attacks can be funny. The pace is very quick and it's not bogged down by any huge script moments really.

Bad: The story, if you want to call it one, is so simple it's laughable. It's just fight, fight, fight, oh hey, and then fight. This doesn't really develop ANY characters at all.

Overall fun, easy, read. Glad I got it for 4 bucks, about worth that. Wouldn't pay more than that. A 2.5 out of 5.

This felt like a typical fun little low budget action/horror movie style.

What's it about? Well people get a disease called Frostbite, which, you guessed it, gives them just that. However, it's extreme. In terms of what it does to people it can kill them, or does, over time. The more heat that is introduce the quicker it spreads. it's like a zombie story without the zombies. On top of that the two main leads are not friends, but forced to work together, based on some information they both know and secrets they both hide.

Good: The art is stylish and pretty great. I especially like the way it bleeds into the words. I thought the characters, while kind of forgettable, atleast sounded realistic and interesting. The disease itself too was pretty cool.

Bad: The ending was okay at best. Failed to feel like there were major stakes. I also thought the characters, while dialog was solid, didn't seem all that interesting in the end.

This is around a 2.5 but I'ma bump it to a 3 for the art alone.

That's it. King is King. Fuck it. This dude does amazing shit.

So Swamp Thing is a massive 80 page single issues. It's a big tribute issue to the creator who has passed away (both the art/writer in same year, really sad). The first half is King's tribute story and it's wonderfully done. The 2nd half is unfinished story written by Len Wein, the original creator, and the man was actually about to start a NEW Swamp Thing series. So we see it in it's unfinished, before lettering can be placed on the page.

Good: I loved King's story. Dark, sad, and powerful. Swamp Thing is going through a terrible winter season protecting a boy from various troubles. First a bear, then a human, and more and more to the point where the swamp thing starts to fade away, dying. Then the Len Wein is really interesting even without words. A more adventure feel to it all and more "fun".

Bad: Wish it was lettered for second half. Would have loved to see Len Wein last story fully done.

Overall great tribute issue. Both powerful and sad. I'll have to go with a 4.5 but in the end I'll give it a 5 because of how memorable it is.

While not as strong as volume 1 it still contains a lot of really solid moments.

The very first issue is the highlight of this collection. Watching Logan and Kurt (Nightcrawler) talk about their friendship, loved ones, differences, and life in general was great. Really felt well done and a different side to both of them. Then we get into the Coyote Crossing storyline which feels a little to similar to the Brotherhood storyline of the last volume. By the end got some interesting twist but Logan is basically on a mission to murder people who have done wrong.

Good: Loved the first issue. It was just amazing. Well paced dialog and giving a chance for characters to grow is great. The Coyote Storyline picks up big time towards the last two issues and gives some great final moments.

Bad: Not feeling the love relationship all that much that they are trying to build. Also the beginning of the coyote storyline isn't all that interesting since it feels too much like a retread.

Overall I'd rate it around a 3 or maybe a 3.5. Issue 6 is nearly a 5 for me, but the Coyote storyline is around a 2.5. So I'll settle on a 3 for now.

Now this was a ton of fun. By far my favorite volume of the Swamp Thing series so far.

Swamp Thing is having a rough time. Seeder, his new arch nemesis has shown up and he's kind of a prick. So when the two go at it, almost killing each other, the Parliment decides for them to train and see who will be the true champion. The true Avatar. There can only be one! So tus begins the training, some interesting twist, and then the very end leaves this series into some interesting twist and turns that can really amp it up.

Good: The seeder storyline was solid and made for a good villain. Swamp Thing was pretty funny in this actually, and very likeable. The art is a lot easier to follow than the first few volumes and the fights are pretty epic. The ending is also great.

Bad: There's some HEAVY exposition in the middle that kind of bog down the series for a bit.

Overall I think Carles Soule writes a Swamp Thing I enjoy way more. Snyder's was darker, and more horror like, but I never cared about the character. The way Soule writes his Swamp Thing I think I'm sticking around!
