While not as strong as issue 2, this is still a ton of fun.

First off we get Madelyne Pryor being her crazy ass self once more. She really hates Cyclops so she's going to go after his brother to get revenge. We also have a storyline with Psylock being a badass. And then some weird shit is happening with a few more members. ALl in all it's chaos, but Madelyne plan sounds terrifying so I'm excited to see where we go.

This is an fantastic issue for Magneto and setting up I think the "Sword" event for X-Men.

The start is weird, with a creepy dude sitting down asking mutants to play a game with him. Very creepy and a good start. Then we switch to the invasion of the plant monsters from Empyre. Luckily easy to follow and Magneto basically has had enough of that shit and goes to deal with them himself. Unlucky bastards. A 4.5 out of 5.

Like any collection of short stories the quality varies. However, I'd say this was far more good than bad for sure.

The worst story for me was probably the Titans story where Dick shows off his spy skills. And then the actual Agent Grayson story which is also pretty lame and a okay ending can't really save it.

The Stephanie Brown story seems to be the one a lot of people hate as it's her trying on her suit and it tearing. It's a bit sexist but I think the idea was to be funny and it did make me chuckle. I mean how do you expect Stephanie to fit into Tim's clothes and it not feel weird? I dunno I got a laugh out of it.

But the best story in here is Jason Todd's story which focuses all on his relationship with bruce. Little kid Jason is also adorable. I also enjoyed Wolfman's story and I enjoyed Tim's story of asking his fellow brothers what he should do.

The last story is the odd one out which I guess connects to Damien's Teen Titan work where he's locking up criminals in his own personal basement. Weird but fun.

But yeah overall a really fun collection of Robin stories. All have charm to them, but some written better than others. A 3.5 out of 5. I'll bump it to a 4.

This was fun, cute, and very silly. If want something different can check this out. It's basically about a guy who when touched with water becomes a girl. From there love stories begin, lots of humor, and basically signature style of Rumiko Takahashi, the writer behind Inyuasha.

I think I actually like this issue more than the first. Faster pace, humor labds more, and for once the mojo world is interesting. How will our heroes escape? That's the question but count me in.

Sakura gets to shine here as she puts the whooping on puppet boy..naruto also gets to show off his new moves. I have to say though the pull out resurrection skill out of thin air at the right time was silly.

JLA continues to be fun action packed adventure. This is Mark Waid and Grant Morrison going back and forth with a few interesting stories.

Mark Waid's one is basically Justice league members begin to dissapear one by one and the heroes have to work together to stop it. Kind of a cool idea though felt abit to neat by the end of it all. Then got Grant who's writing a solid story about Superman and co going into the Dream world with Sandman while dealing with issues outside with Batman. Then we have a really weird story at the end with gods verse humans. Kind of pointless Morrison overwritten stuff I'm NOT a fan of.

But overall 3/4ths of this is really fun. I'm more excited to move away from Morrison's run TBH and see what Waid and the rest bring to the JLA mythos for me. A 3.5 out of 5 for this one.

Spy x Family is SUPER charming, fun, exciting, and I challenge anyone not to laugh.

So Loid, our main hero, code-named Twilight for being the best spy whoever spied needs to now recruit a family for his next mission. So he first tries to get a daughter and going to a orphanage he finds Anya. Anya isn't a normal girl though, she can read minds, but she's also the most adorable fucking 6 year old EVER. Then after he acquires daughter he must find a wife, and lo and behold he finds Yor, a fucking assassin.

Listen, this sounds insane right? It is. But it's also filled with heart, humor, and great visuals. This might be one of the best first volumes ever. I love the family dynamic, it's super cute, and exciting. Anya is the highlight for me as she's not only funny she's too freaking cute. Her comments and facial expressions are unmatched. Loid is badass and fun. And Yor is HOLY shit moments nonstop. She's so goddamn cool.

This is FANTASTIC and a MUST read for fans of the genre but even if don't like spies, it's just super damn fun. A 5 out of 5.

Honestly, reading this makes me realize how much X-Men needed Hickman.

This is not horrible but run of the mill same storylines we always expect. Bringing back Omegared for the millionth time only to die in another issue. Relationship problems with the same characters over and over again. New found powers but then they get beat by some new baddie. Nothing is horrible, it's just the same old. I do enjoy Kitty as leader, and the art is solid enough, and there's cute moments with the relationships. I even like seeing Rachel get to shine some. But I can't help feel it's same old same old.

A 2.5 out of 5.

Quincy time motherfucker!

This is pretty badass to watch the quincy fight with him super overpowered. This volume starts with a bang and it's a fantastic one sided fight that never lets up. Second half is more of Ichigo training. That's okay, not the best, but it's still solid. On top of that we get some funny moments with our favorite cat lady. Oh and it sets up two soul reapers about to go head to head, setting up the next volume nicely. A 3.5 out of 5.
