The first justice league story was actually pretty fun. Enjoyed the banter and the team itself seems solid. Story itself and art are also solid. The justice league dark story was just okay. A 3 out of 5 all together.

Ramping up to watch season 4 of Attack on Titan I planned on reading the manga from the start. Buying these Colossal Editions was well worth it. A massive collection, huge as hell, but oh so pretty with much nicer paper material and the action gets to shine thanks to the size of each page.

It also helps that Attack on Titan is an amazing story. Eren is just a boy trapped behind a wall with his people who survive day by day to stay safe from giant scary titan like creatures who eat people. After a brutal attack on him and his people he decides to take arms when he's older and join the scouts to stop the titans. It sounds typical but once the action begins, and the depressing outcome shows, many will die, and this is why attack on titan is so good.

No one is really safe. Yes, there's a set amount of characters who are there that probably won't die right away. BUT the risk of death, watching others getting killed, it's terrifying. Not to mention the action is both vicieral and brutal. Having Eren go head to head with these titans is amazing. But watching a titan vs a titan? Oh so good.

The slowdown after the major first arc is jarring. It is a flashback, and while I get the idea, I think the placement wasn't the best. Saying that, everything else is fantastic. The ending leaves you hyped for the next arc. The story is thick with mystery but oh so many wonderful "Oh my god" moments. If you haven't gotten into attack on titan I'd suggest reading these OR watching the excellent anime. Well worth your time.

This chapter was basically just one big stand off.

So this "superhero" user is now telling all the other contenders for god to meet him at a stadium. A very obvious trap. However, like we expected, a few of them go including our main two characters. But once the superhero gets them there he starts his games and multiple users try their best to take him head on. A brutal confrontation, lots of deaths, and a ending that...once more...got me excited.

But the thing is it feels oddly drawn out at points. There's three chapters but they don't read very quickly because a lot of "waiting and talking" goes on. I feel this might be better in the anime version when it is released. Also, not a fan of everyone suddenly having these power ranger like suits on when fighting.

Saying that there is a few shocking deaths. One I didn't think would happen. And the ending leaves me thinking we're about to get thicker into the plot and the games of outsmarting who is going to pick up. Still not great but still good. A 3 out of 5.

Fire Force continues the trend of being fun and interesting though the fanservice is getting a bit creepier.

Hands down the two best fights here are Shinra verse his brother and Hinawa. Both show off what makes them fighters, both explosive battles, and the ending to Hinawa battle with Arthurr is fucking fantastic. I'm also eager to see how Shinra can win his battle in the next volume and where do we go from here.

Tamaki's battle could have been great. We could have got a redeeming badass fight for her. Instead her boobs pop out, then she sits on a guys face, and then her pants somehow fall off making the guy's attention go haywire and then he loses...so stupid.

But besides the dumbass fanservice this was a pretty fun arc.

A fun day out with Diana and Lord Maxwell. This should be fun. It actually is a pretty fun, somewhat cute adventure, though the evil motivations of Maxwell are so obvious that even WW like come on brah. Art is fantastic too.

Wonder Woman is off with Max to track down someone using his tech. The whole back and forth between the two is actually pretty fun and the art stays strong. But omg we're about to haver Count Vertigo come in and this villain has ALWAYS been mega-super-fucking-lame to me.

For what could have been a cool crossover we instead just get Spider-man vs Doctor Doom...2099 is barely in here and he's gone in a flash.

There's things that work. I like Spencer's Peter. He's funny, he's heroic, and he wants to do good. He gets Spider-man's traits down. I also was intrigued by the Miguel storyline for when it was shown. And I like how Peter used his brain to outsmart Doctor Doom, was a nice thing to see my boy use something new.

But holy fucking shit, what a confusing mess of a major plot. Miguel comes in, warns Peter, and is gone in a second. What a weird thing to do. I also hated the first half at parts. Overtalking and boring plotlines did NOT help at all here.

Overall, another good but not great volume from Spencer's run. Hoping we get another great one sometime....maybe....

I'm thinking this will go down as my favorite Iron Man run. Not saying much but damn this is good.

Watching Tony juggle his life and what is considered right and wrong was great. I love hellcat as a conscious for Tony. I also thought rhe art was great. Give me more.

A solid bridge issue. Alot of showing what the enemy is up to. That part was alright. The best stuff is with Tony and Patsy.

Two tales I actually really enjoyed.

First is Bruce at the very end of his rope. Bruce Wayne is dead. Batman is dead. Long live fugitive Batman! It's a man on the edge ready to fight back, which is fun in itself. It's refreshingly fast read that helps give this title a boost. On top of that some amazing artwork. Second story is about Grifter, and while the artwork isn't as good, Rosenberg gives a really fun "run run run!" storyline with Fox included.

Overall, both these stories worked for me. A 4 out of 5.
