Multiple personalities and Spectre finds only one solution to help this person after a murder. Good stuff.
The end of a Era.
Attack on Titan is easily one of the craziest, best, insane stories I've ever had the pleasure of reading. How it began and where it ends up, it feels like it's not possible to make me change my views SO many times. To question who to root for. Who's "bad" and who's "good" and with that, makes the entire series so compelling to read.
This last Colossal edition showcases the remaining characters having to work together to stop a threat against all of humanity save a small section of people. Twist and turns are here, and the ending, akin to something like Watchmen, hit all the marks for me. I especially love the reasoning and how the last few pages show the heartbreaking nature of humanity while also showing the adventurous one.
Overall a fantastic series and a solid ending leave this long time viewer and reader very happy. A 4 out of 5.

DNF - This was terribly boring. The art also ranged from okay to pretty awful at points. This was just not for me at all, I don't really have words to describe how boring this was.
A pretty damn fun book I expected nothing from.
Jed MacKay has a knack for making characters I never cared too much about into characters I really begin to dig. Especially true here, with Stephen Strange's wife Clea taking over for Sorcerer Supreme. It has Doom being a prick, Clea dealing with her mother, and teaming up with Moon Knight.
This is just a lot of fun. Love how hot tempered Clea can be, she's a ton of fun compared to Strange. I also really love her costume, and her powers are sick combination of two things. I'll def check out the second volume as it finishes her run.

400th book read in 2023! Woot woot! Half way to my overall yearly goal. Let's gooooo!!!
So this finishes up the lost children arc and we get right back into even more dark a gritty territory. This time dealing with religion and crazy cult like pieces of shit who use God's name to perform terrible acts including murder, torture, and rape. We also have some crazy weird cult like sexual groups and things get insane there too. Ending with Guts trying to figure out his next steps while meeting up with the Skull Knight.
Overall, a great volume. While hard to top the last couple of volumes it still builds up some really interesting ideas and moments. The Children's Lost arc is solid but not great. But love the stuff with Guts visiting old friend and the religion sickos. Great dark and twisted shit.

A pretty solid fun time. I rated this Harshly the first time I read it but this time I really dug it. Basically Iron Fist coming to terms with him not being the only one. Danny learns the truth about his power, who's after him, and of course sets up the famous "tournament" style storyline we will get soon. The action is fun, the dialogue solid, and a bit too much exposition at points but overall intriguing. I'll be going forward with this series now.

A bitter farewell to a major character like Captain Marvel from such a realistic death, cancer.
And it's really solid. A bit too much explaining about who Captain Marvel is, which I assume was done simply incase you never heard of him before. But I feel like it throws ALOT at you and if you aren't fully invested it could be a lot. But the main focus, about him coming to terms with his death, is very touching and some really great moments. Overall a 3.5 but I'll bump it to a 4.

Peter David continues his run with Hulk in this second volume, getting deeper into Banner's troubled past while letting the Green hulk show himself once more.
The start of this volume feels a little iffy but soon into it we get into the real meat of the story. Banner dealing with his past. I loved this arc where Banner is trying to connect Joe Fix and the green Monster while also having SOME type of control too. But to do that he also has to visit his past, what happened with his father, and mother. It's a great arc, really amplifies the mentality Banner has, and why these Hulk's were even created.
Then we get into professor hulk. This is Hulk with Banner in full control. Basically the strength of the green monster version but the smarts of Banner, leaving with a very interesting new version of the Hulk. He soon joins a group of "do gooders" to help behind the scenes but it might not actually be such a good group.
This was a lot of fun. I think I enjoyed it even more than the first. Bruce's evolution to professor hulk was great, and the stuff with him as Professor Hulk is pretty stellar. Betty gets a nice upgrade here with plenty of great characters moment. I also love that we have other supporting cast that get to shine here too.
I think Peter David has a lot of fun with this volume and the art stays strong throughout, even when it changes hands here or there. I'm hoping this run continues to be impressive.

The first half is Silver Surfer storyline of him learning more about Thanos and what he's up to. One of the only things that can stop the Mad Titan as he's revived. So Thanos finds ways around that, tricks, that might hold off Silver Surfer.
The second half is Thanos Quest to gather the infinity stones. It's solid, there's some really great moments from Thanos, but at the same time him going to 6 different people, some less interesting than others, felt a bit dragged out. Awesome ending though with Death.
