I didn't really love this. The art is great. The dialogue is solid. But I didn't really get absorbed the way I thought I would. This didn't have the same human connecting characters I've come to love from Rosenberg's work. I just couldn't get interested in the plot for this one.

Super freaking cute as always.

This time our little Yotsuba goes on some crazy trips with her friends, including somehow getting on a bus and almost getting lost. Also really funny moments with a elderly couple in the park that made me lolz hard, a cute firework moment, and hitting a animal...it is funny...I know it sounds not funny but it is, because it is a goat, and it's out of left field, and made me lol.

I love this manga.

This book is better than it has any right to be.

The Joker is free after the Joker Wars and someone comes to James Gordan to ask for help. This mysterious woman tells James that she'll give him 25 million dollars to hunt down and kill the Joker. Easy, right? But Gordan is a man of justice and honor but even he, after years of being tortured by the sick clown freak joker, can't take much more of it.

This is mostly a Jim Gordan book. Joker is here, and he has some great moments, but he is just the shadow behind the plot. The real story is all about Jim dealing with his PDST and issues with the joker. Drawn wonderfully with excellent art, and some really solid storytelling, even if it can get a bit heavy handed and TOO much talking, it still a interesting story none the less.

A 4 out of 5.

The Death of a major teammate sends this team into a mess...more than usual. Action heavy but just as fun as ever. So sad issue 18 will be the last.

A new reveal is discovered. One I had a feeling about. Now this depressing group is in for some more fucked up situations.

This was alright.

I think this series is running dry. Killing off one of the better characters wasn't the best idea. Then having it focus on the group kind of just getting over it because of writer's change is odd. Let us add on MORE fucking Deathstroke and ugh, I was kind of done.

Yeah this series is losing me every volume. A 2 out of 5.

Brutal and Dark, with a somewhat happy ending.

Basically, what if the Symbiote never left Peter. It's a simple idea but works real well. In the original comics it was making Peter lose his shit, hurt enimies worse than he ever has before. This is the comic that pushes him to the absolute limit. So Peter decides to end the villains reign by taking them down for good.

This is a really fun comic in a sense that you know this isn't the "Peter" we know. Chip still writes Peter really well, even into his decent into Madness. The art is solid with some cool fight scenes and really brutal deaths. I think the ending was happier than I expected but I still had a real good time with this quick and fun what if read.

A 3.5 out of 5, pushing it to a 4.

I decided to jump ahead because I hear this is the arc that is pretty different from the anime and they cut stuff out.

This finishes up Class A and Class B fighting. Deku along with everyone else has a new set of powers, or using their powers in a new way. This finishing of the arc was fun though not amazing. We then get into the villains arc, and how they've been using their time to grow as a organization as well as another "liberation army" going after them.

This overall is a decent arc. Some cool moments of growth for a few characters and getting to see the villains grow is fun. I didn't love it though and it didn't leave a lasting impact on anything so far, feels more like a build up to what is to come.

A 3 out of 5.

This was a great followup issue. After the beating Tony took things aren't looking great but it doesn't mean we give up. All the crew begins to rebuild, with some great one liners from Ben as Spider-man. And then we get a satisfying little fight where you can tell Tony is not fucking around.

Dark secrets lie wake in the doings of all the mutants on the island. When Nightcrawler decides to help Legion, more is revealed. The ending is especially heavy and mysterious with a new target. A pretty different, but interesting series for X-Men.
