To lazy to do a big review. Basically Red Lanterns screaming at each other and trying to kill each other. The Human is the only kind of smart one, trying to settle everything down. One cool thing was Stormwatch coming in, loved them here. The rest? Forgettable. A 2.5 out of 5.

This wasn't bad. So we have Supergirl get a red ring and become a Red Lantern!

However, this is a different red lantern team than what I'm used to since I've only read volume 1-2 so Guy hasn't joined the Red Lanterns yet. So when Kara is just flipping her shit the red ring finds her and she becomes one. First the green lanterns have to hold her back but once they bring her to the Red Lanterns, we get some big character development for Kara.

It's pretty fun. While not great, and the villain is boring as could be, the fights and colorful artwork are fun. I enjoyed Kara's change and her growth as a bratty teen to an adult. I could have had her as team red lantern for longer though. A 3 out of 5.

She-Hulk is very mad!

Actually, after the events of civil war 2, Jen is sad. Sad and scared. If you don't know what happens, well read Civil War 2! I'm just teasing. You don't have to. It's not that great. So jen was punched int he chest by Thanos and nearly died. Then her cousin was shot in the head by Hawkeye. So after all these events she's feeling down, scared, and hurt. However, she goes back to her job of being a Lawyer to help those in need.

When she picks up a new client things go sideways pretty quick. While she's dealing with her own depression and fears, her client was followed and nearly murdered by one of her friends and now is looking for protection. Both characters heading into a spiral they come clashing on each other but She-Hulk isn't having it when she comes out in here.

A darker approach than expected with some great commentary on PTSD and loss. I really enjoyed the way Tamaki wrote Jen here and most of the supporting cast. The artwork was clean and nice as well which is a plus. Saving the hulk to be a menacing, dark, and brutal character was nice too. I thought the villain in the end was a bit weak but besides that it was really enjoyable.

A 3.5-4 out of 5. I'll fly with a 4.

Suicide squad continues to be entertaining, but this one doesn't feel as "oh snap anyone could die" as the last volume did.

We have Deadshot lead a mission to retrieve a dead body. Of course nothing is as it seems and the person comes back to life. This storyline is kind of boring if I'm being honest and nothing special happens. The 2nd part of this book has the characters stranded on a island without any communication to waller. Not only that but Waller has to deal with her own personal issues and attackers. The 2nd half boost this series into a more entertaining area.

The art stays pretty solid throughout and the 2nd half is much more fun. So for that alone it gets into the good area. A 2.5 out of 5, but I'll boost it to a 3.

My Hero Academia is a super fun anime so I was pretty excited to try the spin off. However, I'm always weary. I tried spin-off for Attack on Titan and that...was less than stellar. However, I said screw it, and picked it up. Is it good? Yeah...it is pretty fun!

So this is focused on the heroes that don't become certified. We have a guy who's like a roach who has the power of...crawling. Yes. I'm serious. With that he teams up with a old man who likes to punch bad people and a pop-star high school student who jumps around and has her ass hanging out all the time. Together they decide to fight evil!

It's full on fan service, with cameos from our favorite heroes from the main series. However, the focus is without a doubt on the three main characters. Their relationship grows throughout and the dialogue is surprisingly well done. The storyline loses the stakes the main series has and it doesn't do anything brand new, but for what it is, I'm having a good time. A 3 out of 5.

Loved the start but it began to lose itself in the later half.

What started off as a fire-woman showing who she is, her fixation on fire, and learning bits and pieces about her childhood. When everything begins to come together her past comes to haunt her. When her childhood friends are getting killed one by one she might be next on the chopping block, she begins to figure out who the killer is. Of course each guess might be wrong, which could lead to someone's death!

The start of it is gripping and engaging and loved the main character but soon into issue 3 she becomes kind of tame in comparison to what issue 1 gave us and her childhood is predictable as could be. The ending was rushed through without a doubt, probably because Si Spencer was told this series wouldn't continue. The ending or even story isn't bad just meh. A 3 out of 5 for the amazing art work and solid start, just wish the rest was as good.

This series just isn't working for me. I just...something about Supergirl comics just doesn't grab me. I wish they were better. I still love the character but not so much her runs. Owell.

Holy shit this was a freaking blast!

So after Xavier is killed by Cyclops, the world isn't to fond of mutants. This is nothing new, but Captain America decides to try and fix it. Try to join forces with mutants to show a public PR face. He chooses Scott Summer's brother, Alex, and together they create the Uncanny Avengers. Of course something awful has to bring them all together. Red Skull has taken Xaiver's brain and is using it to have people murder mutants and non-mutants alike while claiming all mutants need to be killed.

This is a action packed, insane, over the top, and extremely fun volume. The start was a little rough at points. But as soon as the avengers and x-men all began working as a team to take down red skull it was great. However, the stakes felt higher, as the heroes don't always win. Then the PR meeting and trying to show a new face to mutants will never work out as hoped.

Great character development, fun dialogue, and solid pacing. The art is a bit iffy at points as is the story at the start but all come together to hand you something super fun. A 4 out of 5.

This was fantastic.

Every single storyline is building up to this. All the behind scene moments all equal to the end that is coming. However, let's talk about the big return. Johnny Storm is BACK! Yes, from the dead. However, it actually makes freaking sense. Only Hickman can do that. His past and what happened was fucking badass. Then got the invasion coming and everyone is willing to fight back. A unlikely ally shows up and then...the future comes back to help the past.

This is the payoff after 3 good volumes and one amazing one, you get a followup that is stunning. I was so happy with the outcome, on the edge of my seat, from the tight and amazing dialogue, to the gorgeous art, to the ending that is both breath taking and then emotional. Overall, nothing is better than this for fantastic four that I read before. A 5 out of 5.

This was pretty goddamn epic. This might be my favorite of the 3. Though I am confused as to what happens next as I know Michael Stacynski leaves suddenly so I guess the next volume might be a bit of a mess. Luckily, this volume does not suffer one bit.

Thor is exiled and trying his best to find Sif since she is still lost. His band of warriors is also trying to find Thor himself. While that's happening you have Loki plotting with none other than doctor fucking doom. While this is happening you have the new king being betrayed by his followers and you expect to hate him for exiling Thor but you really don't. All the moving pieces from the last volume all come to a head here in a awesome way.

Art is on point here as it really gives Thor that epic vibe. The art really gets to shine with the environments as we go from desert, to a icy area, and you get the atmosphere nailed in each scene. I love the pacing here as it feels like someone could die at any moment, and oh boy do they. The dialogue works real well and Michael nails so many characters.

Loki sudden change back to a man was a bit weird. Also, doom seems to be a bit of a fool in this one for working with him. But besides that great stuff. A 4 out of 5!
