This was pretty fun! The very high reviews are probably warranted, especially if love fantastic four. As a fan but not as a HUGE fan I did enjoy the playful banter and strong family bond. The art ranged from good to great. I thought introducing a new character who became the smarts for the team was kind of forced in. Also, didn't care about the villain in this one. Still, a 3.5 out of 5.

Wow, just fantastic. This series will go down as one of my favorite. This volume gives some scenes of actual 9/11 plus it also covers a new villian/hero, the big betrayal set up, and some funny situations with Hundred and his best buddy. I can't recommend this series enough.

Really dug this. The themes of racism and loss is perfect here. The talk of trust and change for people is realistic and nicely done. The horror element is well made and actually scary and people die. I thought the ending wrapped up to quick and that be my one negative. A 4 out of 5.

Stray Bullets continues to be amazing. After a long hiatus the team is back and they haven't missed a beat. The focus here is Eli (who I don't recall seeing before this) and Virginia (my favorite character!).

Eli has a nasty childhood as he was treated like shit by friends and watched his father get killed. The main story is Eli and Virginia meeting and falling in love.

Sounds sweet, right? This is stray bullets though, and death and heartbreak consumes our characters quick. By the end you'll be left in shock.

Another homerun as it hits all my emotions, masterful storytelling at its best. If haven't read this series what the hell are you waiting for!?!? A 5 out of 5.

Wow...this was great. Tom Taylor was just what Spider-Man needed.

So in first 5 pages you get a near perfect spiderman scene that captures everything about him. The humor, the style, even the heart. The rest of issue focuses mostly on Peter, his roommate situation, and a new character who is being hunted.

There's a extra 6 or 7 pages added that will also hit ya in the heart.

Overall, I hardly read issues 1 but had to for this one. Tom Taylor hits it out of the park. I can't wait for volume 1!!!

This was another good, yet not great, volume.

This time we get a little time with the bees. However, when on the search to find the queen bee we find out a town isn't what they seem but what if the betrayal is far someone far closer?

The restart of Young Justice is here!

Young justice, similar to teen titans, is basically superheroes very similar to justice league, but younger (teenagers or young adults) and they team up to face bad guys.

Right away introduced to some faces haven't seen in awhile like wonder girl and impulse, and then of course Superboy (Connor version) all jammed packed into single issue.

The reason they team up is a bit silly and contrite but that's superheroes for ya. A really fun reintroduction to a team I've been waiting for to return! A 4 out of 5.

Ouch I really wasn't feeling this volume.

Trippy would be too nice of a word. Too many astral plane issues, too many vague plotlines that hardly connect, qwful political peddling here, and the 2nd half of this book almost feels like it doesn't belong at all.

A few interesting moments but it can't save this one. A 1.5 out of 5.

REALLY good issue for me.

So we finally get to Superman and his involvement in this story. He's been kind of absent the last 6 issues. We got to know more about the villains, especially how sneaky some bastards have been. We also even got moments with the doctor. But now we sit down with Superman, who is doing what he does best, saving people. This time though he goes overseas, and the political nature of Watchmen comes into play here. The ending is...whoa.

Good: Loved the ending a lot. It sets up a great reveal but also the fact Bruce and Clark's relationship begins to crack. I also really enjoyed the art, as always, the facial expressions and such are so damn great. The political nature of this issue is intriguing and by the end you kind of don't know where each character will go.

Bad: It's slower paced than expected being a issue 8. Also, very little watchmen stuff involved till a certain moment.

Overall, a fantastic issue. This is easily the best in the series for me, and really intriguing, and I hope it finishes as strong as this. A 4.5 out of 5.

This is 4 stories in one volume, so that means we get some good and some bad.

The first story, moving target, is about someone hunting down Oliver. It's a twisty twist story of who could be the villain with a big surprise at the end. The next is about a man on the run from the CIA. It kind of all comes to a odd conclusion. Next up is a stripper is killed and Oliver is trying to find the killer while a terminator like guy is also hunting the killer. Last but not least, Oliver shoots a kid who was using a play gun when police arrived. Kind of super relevant in today's political climate so it was interesting to see here in the 80's.

Good: I forget sometimes that this serious had a lot of freedom. So you see a lot of tits, ass, and cursing. It's not done for the sake of it, it works very well in the context, and gives this Green Arrow a darker/gritty feel while still being light thanks to Oliver's light and fun dialogue. I enjoyed the first story a lot, some funny moments with Diana and Oliver, and also a nice little twist at the end. The last story was also great, and actually made me really sad for someone like Oliver who had to battle his conscious while also trying to prove factual points. There's a great moment with Hal and Oliver too. The CIA story was pretty fun too.

Bad: The stripper story didn't really work for me. Felt disjointed and missed most of the emotion I expected in a story about sex trafficking. Also, some of the art is really muddy, especially backgrounds, so hard to tell what's happening.

Overall, some pretty great stuff. I liked this more than last volume but not as much as volume 1. I'm not a huge fan of the art at times but the feel of it, the tone, and the stories, all work well for me. A 4 out of 5.
