Wow, what a nice turn around from the last volume which was Meh.

In this volume we have old man Rogers. Afterr the events of the last volume he is now a old man and not his super soldier self. So the avengers come to see him but Zola is back and shit is about to get heavy again. Jet and Falcon work together. A special return character(s) make an appearence. This is a much happier uplifting ending to Steve's run than I had ever expected.

It's fun, exciting, great art, and solid pacing here. The final issue is a solid goodbye to Steve and Hello to Sam as the new Captain America. Such a shame wasn't a longer stint but overall it worked well here and gave closure to a few characters.

I didn't love what happened to Jet and her character but the rest was great. A 4 out of 5.

Such a delight every time I read one of these issues. Sinister being a Snarky loveable piece of shit is so good and watching everyone live out their dreams turned nightmares is intriguing. While it felt a bit slow on plot it was so fun to read. A 4 out of 5.

A fine conclusion. Cheating out a demon, tricking the asshole, brutal deaths, lots of cursing, and Hellblazer getting to kiss the devil. While not anything crazy amazing, and I think the first half of this series was far stronger, it was still a nice tale I'd read again. A 3 out of 5.

Tom Taylor is truly one of the best writers around, and Injustice 2 is just proof of it.

With a new Superman around they want to create the titans again. So Superman and his friends go to blue beetle to ask if he'd like to join. On top of that you have Bruce dealing with the fallout of his other child. Oh and remember Hal? Remember what he did in Injustice 1? yeah well he has a lot of redeeming to do and it starts here.

Now that I've read a lot of green lantern I was really invested in this volume. I love to see Hal and try to fix things while having Guy in his head. Not to mention there's a BIG laugh out loud moment with him and a cat. Oh and a few more big heroes die, one I was even shocked by. Batman subplot was solid too if not a little predictable.

Overall some great stuff. I'll miss Injustice 2 once I'm done reading.

Damn it this book wasn't bad but most of the storylines were just decent for me. Couple of fun ones. Couple good ones. One bad one shot. But overall was on a 3 out of 5 feel but then in comes the final two issues which I LOVED and now I can't decide if I should bump it to a 4.

The interesting thing about Young Justice is where it is trying to market its audiance. Maybe in the late 90's, early 2000's, they didn't trust the regular drama of teenagers. So instead they make our heroes go on crazy mystical adventures and over the top events. It's not bad, some of it is goofy fun (The werewolf storyline that riffs on Buffy is pretty good) but there's a tie in storyline that is confusing in pacing and the ending result is kind of weird and oddly done.

But luckily when it works it is really good. The final two chapters dealing with two characters hating themselves. One believing she is evil and will tarnish everyone around her, while the other wants to fit in, but people abuse and beat her, till she can't take it anymore. There's heavy topics here of self hate, loneliness, depression, and suicided tendencies. I loved how it dealt with it, not too heavy handed, and worked out well for most of the characters.

Overall it probably hits around a 3.5 out of 5 but for such a stronger closure I'll bump it to a 4. I hope one day we get the last 8 or so issues to finish up this run.

I really enjoyed Injustice 2 for the most part, and while the ending is a bit sloppy and rushed, there's some amazing moments well worth reading.

The bad is the suicide plot and the marriage stuff. It's cute but feels like it comes out of nowhere, less stakes, and not all that interesting.

Saying that I really enjoyed Hal's redemption of sorts here. He's still a major dickhead for what he did but man was it nice to see him lead again for a minute. Senistro even gets a solid closer. Lobo is actually FUNNY for once. I also love seeing the Titans work together. I'd say what really worked too was the final chapter, worlds finest, that focus on Superman/batman relationship.

Overall, a solid ending, a great last chapter, little bumpy, but Injustice 2 for the most part was well worth the read. A 4 out of 5.

So the last few volumes been thriller vibe to it, with Seiichi being basically stalked and abused by his mother mentally. However this volume has Seiichi dealing with his feelings for Fukiishi who he is looking at as almost a savior to his insanity lately.

So when Seiichi runs away from his mother and goes to Fukiishi he begins to grow feelings both mentally and sexually for her. So while this isn't as haunting as previous chapters it is just as weird, freaky, and strange as ever before. The ending once again leaves you feeling uneasy and isn't that what we all want in a horror manga?

Once again Blood on the Tracks gives me the thrills and weirdness I've come to love from Oshimi. Give me more. A 4 out of 5.

This is a solid collection to help grow Mark up in a mature way.

With him finally dating Amber, Mark is trying to balance school, superheroism, and dating. He's not very good at it as he is called on A LOT to save the world because...well he's a superhero. In doing so he has a lot of his relationships straining from his drunk mother, to his girlfriend not trusting him, to his best friend being a dick (Though he always is) to just trying to be a better man.

What I did enjoy is the slow burn of his growth here. I think in the trades I gave both volume 4-5 (These volumes covered here) a 3.5 but I'ma bump both to a 4 because I can really enjoy seeing Mark's steady growth as a teenager to more adulthood. I also really enjoyed the humor, it was far better in this volume than previous ones. Also, Allen makes a comeback and he's always great.

While it feels mundane somewhat I promise all the storylines building up here are going to have a huge pay off, make this a great setup volume. A 4 out of 5.

A decent build up to the final confrontation. The sweet moments with Cassie, Jon, and damien are the best part.
