This is just plain fun. I'm really digging it.

So this one mostly focuses on Wonder Girl. You get to learn a little about her past, who she is, how she is here (kind of) and also about her Grandfather, who we know as Zeus. On top of that you got the reunion of a ton of characters, including Cassie and Tim Drake, which is cute, but also leaves questions. By the end of the issue we have our main villain reveal himself as well.

Good: Lots of fun. Just pure comic book goofiness with some cool ass fight scenes. It's really wonder girl that makes this so damn fun. The art is perfect for the style going on. I also think the reunion was cute.

Bad: It's so fast that the plot itself didn't move too much.

Overall, a blast. I'm really digging the revival here. A 4 out of 5.

Whoa, talk about renewing my interest in a main X-Men storyline.

So this is a huge issue. It's broken into 3 sections where get different points of views of the same event. It follows Cyclops coming out of the shadows. Logan following him around. Also Blindspot's major storyline contributing to the overall arc. By the end it all comes together to push the next storyline forward.

Good: Loved the fuck out of cyclops here. Not as "hard ass" or Magneto like but still holds his own. Not only telling Captain America to go fuck himself, but also facing off against villains and taking them down without pause. Wolverine storyline is classic logan and watching him and cyclops together is wonderful. Blindspot storyline is both sad yet very realistic and well done.

Bad: A little long. To replay the same scenes in different points of views can feel a little jarring and the art change is weird as well.

Overall, great shit. I really want to read more of this main storyline from Rosenberg. Uncanny X-men is BACK!!! A 4 out of 5.

A stronger volume than the first, but still not Wood at his best.

The start of this one is a lot more of a rush. We get a kidnapping, a reveal of someone thought to be dead who is still alive, alot of backstabbing, and a lot of "What if" and "Who can it be" that keep you on your toes. The last two issues are one shots, one covering Zee's origins and how she ended up int he city while the last issue is basically just showing off a bunch of the city by almost news clipping type format.

Good: I did enjoy the main story in this volume. The twist and turns were solid, if not a little predictable. I like how they pushed forward in a quicker paced storyline in this one while not sacrificing telling a political thriller tale. I'm also getting a bit more used to the art form here, as it gives a good gritty feel. Zee backstory was a nice topper too.

Bad: I still don't like much of the cast. A lot of them are selfish, assholes, or just plain dumb. I also hated the last issue, as it was a slog to get through.

Overall, getting better. While not as good as some of Brian Wood's other works, it's starting to build into something I want to read more. A 3.5 out of 5.

Holy lord of mother of garbage and hot horse shit, here we go again.

I like Logan, he's a pretty fun character. I like Charles Soule, he's a pretty talented writer.

I fucking hate this book.

Okay, I'm being far too harsh here. I don't hate it. I just really dislike it. While a step above "Death of Wolverine", which I do honestly fucking hate, this is only slightly better. I'm not sure what Marvel wants with Charles Soule, but I feel like they make him write the end of wolverine and bring him back to life and he really doesn't want to.

So the story starts with Logan already back to life. As the next few issues explore what's really happening, wolverine is being controlled in some way. You might guess the plot twist, because it's goddamn obvious, but they do it anyway, and you get all the same shit you expect. The X-men come to talk to wolverine, you have the big hairy man fight a lot and scream a lot, and then...of course wolverine gets plenty of make out action because he's wolverine. Ugh...

Good: Uhhh...uhhh....uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..............................wolverine looks cool again with how hairy he is? Though his new Top Chef outfit has GOT to go.

Bad: Everything. The story and it's twist is dumb. The X-men fighting wolverine is horrible. The last issue is a big gigantic waste of time. Oh don't even get me started on the timeline. So this takes place BEFORE infinity wars but guess what? This came out after that was finish. Lolz, what a joke. Oh yeah and the dialogue and pacing is all over the place.

Fuck this. Honestly, here it is. Wolverine came back and now he has heat claws. The-fucking-end. No need to read this. 1 out of 5.

From my ratings of King's previous work you can probably tell I'm a pretty big fan of this guy. Taking on Mister Miracle I was a little worried. Always am from getting overhyped. When I began reading this title I was a tad bit confused why so many people loved it. I couldn't get into the first 3 issues really much at all, but the rest? Well...

Who is Mister Miracle? Well, if you're like me, you have no fucking clue. You might have seen him before but never as a main character. He's the ultimate escape artist. In this title he is at war with Darkseid and his army. But really, the core focus of this book is about Big Barda and Scott Free as they live their life together. Mid-way through the book, and this isn't a spoiler, they have a child, and it changes the dynamic and the reasoning why they are fighting and their choices for it. It's a big storyline, spanning 12 issues, but telling a story of love, of pride, of honor, and of loss.

Good: Loved the hell out of the middle issues. They might be my favorite issues in the series. Strong family dynamic and both funny and heartfelt moments throughout. I think King shined here in both pacing and dialogue. I also enjoyed the ambiguous ending as it left it up to the reader to decide and it was well done. Also, the art is fantastic. I loved how character reacted and the overall design to everything.

Bad: Wasn't a huge fan of the start. It's a lot to take in, it's weird as shit at points, and the tone feels all over the place.

Overall, this is a fantastic book once it starts going. King has done so many amazing stories so far. I truly mean it, this guy is one of the best storytellers around if you ask me. Mister Miracle is not my favorite work by him but it's very high up there. A 4.5 out of 5.

Real interesting idea but not the best executed.

So Red here was taken by force and sold to pirates. When the two years is up the pirates offer their slaves freedom, but Red has other ideas. She kills everyone on that ship who held her captive and then heads back to where she came from to seek revenge on those who had wronged her. So basically a big revenge tale but with a nice twist on it all.

Good: Enjoyed the art design for the most part. Gritty and dark, yet had a old western style feel to it. Red's story, despite being basic, was still understandable and you wanted her to do what she needed to do. To get revenge. To feel whole again. I felt her desire which made me want to keep reading.

Bad: I didn't really like any of the side cast. I also think it's way to dialogue heavy, or monologue heavy, throughout. Sometimes pages filled with 9 or 10 bubbles/boxes. I also didn't think the ending was great.

I liked it. It's a interesting idea, and looks like based on a true story, and the art is unique, but the other pieces of the puzzle didn't come together. A stronger cast and less talking/needless wording would have helped it. A 3 out of 5.

The end of Hal and the start of Kyle. This is a mix-match of the two.

The first half is all about Hal's decent into madness. Before Johns came in and said "No that was a evil demon thingy, Hal would never do that!" we learn that Hal is losing himself. After seeing his city destroyed and many of his loves one killed, he goes a bit fucking crazy. Can you blame him? I mean, he has these rings that can give you almost anything, so he decides to get more. When the corps stand in his way he starts to take them out one by one, or one verse many.

The 2nd half of this collection is the start of Kyle's run. A more innocent and charming individual, he first begins to learn his powers with the ring. Soon in his run one of his villains does something terrible to the woman he loves. This is the famous Women in the Fridge moment. After that he gets a visit for Alan Scott to learn what it means to be a Lantern.


Good: The Hal decent into darkness is actually pretty interesting. Someone pushed to the breaking point with already a arragont personality all makes sense. I love Johns Green Lantern run but I felt it was stupid he blamed Paralax for Hal's turn. I also enjoyed watching all the corps, even Sinestro stand in Hal's way for a final fight. Kyle is introduced in a fun way and I always enjoyed him the most for the male Green Lanterns.

Bad: The art feels dated at point, and some scenes look really odd. On top of that, Hal's decent is a little quick, but the bigger issue is Kyle's girlfriends death. It's not to say you can't have a female character die and it matter, you very much can. But Kyle, within less than 2 issues, seems to be okay with it. Not okay, but basically says "I loved you and will always honor you" Sorry, you don't have that mindset in less than a day's time.

Overall, a interesting collection. I see what they were going for. The sadness of a big character like Hal and the hopeful feel of Kyle. It works well. I think key issues were sadly probably missing so feels a bit disjointed. Overall though, despite dated at times, it was fun. A 3 out of 5.

This was goofy and lighthearted and pretty fun.

When I read some JSA, right away I liked Stargirl a lot. The teenager who just tries to do her best to help people. Loved the idea and the way she was. So it's nice to see her Origin story and how she was abit of a brat to a true heroic hero. This is basically her and her stepdad Pat as they begin their adventures together fighting crime. The regular classroom drama, mixed with some fighting, and a little of family meltdown, and you have this title.

Good: The art is cartoony as hell but really funny. The fights look pretty cool because of the wonky art. I really dug Courtney as a character here, even if she was a little full of herself and kind of bitchy at points. Her age shows teenagers are assholes most of the time. However, her relationship with her step father grew in a way I enjoyed.

Bad: It's goofy and so nothing feels scary or really any stakes. Also, while the dialogue is fun, it's dated as hell. Late 90's, early 2000's slang and dress code can either be a make it break it thing. I loved the design but the slang...not so much.

Overall, fun and cool to see where Stargirl came from. If anything else it made me give the earlier JSA comics another try! A 3 out of 5.

I can't believe I actually enjoyed a Azzarello book.

So this is the New 52 relaunch of Wonder Woman, and for the most part, it's a pretty fun ride.

Right at the start this poor girl, Zola, is being chased around in her underwear by some killers. So while it was scary and exciting I couldn't help but feel we're going to get a lot of Azzarello edgy right off the bat. However, I will say once Wonder Woman does make her appearance, it becomes basically a protect mission of Zola and her baby while also world building the gods here. With this highs takes, protect mom/daughter storyline, and learning about all the gods and their place, while giving Diana a new origin, the volume offers a lot of interesting ideas.

Good: The art is solid, with some awesome new designs on the gods, and I especially like Wonder Woman's style here plus she's drawn with such ferocity yet kindness under it all. I also enjoyed Diana a lot here, as she is a protective person and will fight if must, but when she fights, you better stay the fuck away. I also like the world building and learning about the gods as well as most of the side cast.

Bad: It's a lot of shit being thrown at you. Tons of gods, tons of places, a few twist on old lore, and of course a bit of edgy moments (did Zola HAVE to be in her underwear for the first 1/3rd of the book?) So might be a tad overwhelming to just jump in here.

I have to say I was pleasantly surprise. While not as good as year one Wonder Woman from Greg Rucka, I did have fun with this, and will pick up the next few volumes. Goodjob Azzarello! A 3 out of 5.

Wow I didn't like this much at all.

So what happens when we need a reboot? We just kind of wipe away everything and give the same characters the same exact big over dramatic end of the world situations. Now, you're saying, well that's what the Avengers are for! Well..this is one of the most uninspired ways of doing it.

So the Avengers are getting the band back together. Tony, Steve, and Thor all decide it's time. Well, not really, but they have to because they're avengers. In doing so we do have a few replacements like She-Hulk and the New Ghost Rider, but honestly this is just one BIG, LONG, DRAWN OUT fight to save the world against huge monsters/creatures.

Good: I liked Ghost Rider in here, he was badass, and I love Robbie. I also thought the start was very tongue and cheek funny on talking about the industry and comics.

Bad: The rest. The art doesn't really work for me. Some of the designs are pretty awful (THOR WTF?) also the fights are uninspired as could be. I think the dialog is very mimicking of the movies but doesn't flow or work nearly as well here. The ending feels like "part 1" of a 12 part story that I have no interest in continuing.

Overall this is pretty bad. This might be one of the worst starts to a Avengers series for me. I can't give this higher than a 2...and that's me being nice.
