More battles are fought, more are lost, more are won!

This is pretty quick paced and fun chapter. The highlights being Magic, Wolverine's lines, and the ending with storm was pretty fucking badass.

Not sure where the HELL we're going here but I'm enjoying this zanny ride.

While not as tacolicious as the first, it is a lot of fun still. There's a part when they go back in time to get more tacos since there are no more tacos in the current timeline. My daughter got a real kick out of the part about "Dragons love Diapers" which makes her always laugh out loud. So for that alone, a 4 out of 5.

This gets a little too high fantasy for me.

Daredevil goes head to head with the Hand run by Punisher. When they brawl it's big, they have dragons, they have ninjas, they have lots of carnage. It's all just okay though, none of it really hit me in an exciting way if you can believe that. I did however like the reveal on Foggy and Stick. Watching Matt lose it even more is both sad and exciting. I also enjoyed the last issue with the Avengers trying to stop both Daredevils. Spider-man's moments were great.

Overall, was solid but not great. Hoping last volume turns it around for me. A 3 out of 5.

The end of a legendary run. Daredevil is lucky to have so many great runs.

Classics/Legendary - Miller/Bendis/Brubaker
Good/Great - Soule/Waid

And I think I have to put Chips right there with Classic. Though today they annouced he will be returning to Daredevil in April so we shall see.

So this run ends on a happier note than expected. A wedding. And Matt is still living through his convictions of what is right and wrong. Elecktra trying to be Daredevil as well. A lot of set up to who will be the new Kingpin. Basically, a lot of moving parts. This feels like season 1 is ending instead of the run itself.

Overall, great stuff. I thought the bullseye idea was a little cheesy but the fights and moments were great. Love Elecktra's fight, Matt's final straw, and Kingpin's ending. I hope we get more great stuff in the future.

A 4 out of 5.

There's a lot, and I mean A LOT of moving pieces here.

There's the bringing back the dead with Cassie for Superboy, There's Lex being his normal piece of shit self, there's Irons trying to save his niece, there's Booster Gold going in for the fame once more, there's a new superman like hero, there's Black Adam Dealing with his country issues and finding love and a family, there's Question and Renee there with Black Adam helping him and... alot more.

And it's all just decent with the exception of the Black Adam stuff with Question and Renee. That's actually pretty interested. But the Lobo stuff? Boring. The Lex thing seems stretched out already. Booster Gold storyline seems...wacky?

I dunno, this series isn't bad, but not doing much for me. 2.5 out of 5.

First half of this volume was just okay. Basically had Mishima yelling and yelling at our main lead, saying he doesn't really love who he loves, and he's wrong. It was overly long and kind of pathic, and kind of sucked since I liked her prior. On other hand the rest of the volume was great and watching Sayu finally getting some happiness before some creeper comes back in to try and ruin it pisses me off, but in a good way, not like the start. Hope she's safe. A 3.5 out of 5.

Nemesis by Mark Millar was a entertaining but extremely stupid and violent edgy as fuck comic. Reloaded is far better paced, with less edge, but still kind of hollow.

Like most of Millar's work in the last 10 years or so, these feel like movie pitches. Some better than others. Here we have Nemesis get a full on background, which does help make this character's motives shine through a bit more and you can understand his way. Saying that, he's also a fucking psycho piece of shit hellbent on causing death to so many people for no other reason than pure pleasure. What a terrible dickhead, and hard to care about a character you hate.

Saying that it's fast paced, breezy read, with solid art. But nothing I'll remember in a couple of months.

This it the Ted Lasso (Season 1-2 anyway) of Manga.

I'm just getting such happy vibes when reading this. Mitsumi has to be one of the most adorable main leads ever, trying her best, while also bringing joy to everyone around her. She has a few great scenes, especially with Mika this time around that really surprised me. Mika teaching Mitsumi how to play vollyball starts off funny but ends with happiness. The author just knows how to give some many extra layers to characters here. And the chapter with Shima is SUPER cute but also really important for people to understand other's feelings in the process. Rumors can be vicious and it's important to go to the person to see who they really are.

Again, excellent character work, cute moments, and heartfelt throughout. A 5 out of 5.

Blue Box continues it's thrend of easy going, fun, love is in the air, and trying to find yourself.

This volume has Taiki and Chinatsu getting closer than ever but then further away. It's a sad moment but one that makes sense, seeing how Chinatsu is trying to get far in her career. Then Hina makes her move, kind of. Trying her best to pursue Taiki and finally come to terms with her feelings. It feels well done, and not over the top manga/anime fashion, she's trying her best and it shows.

Overall, this manga is always chilled and laid back read. Not the greatest in plot, but really well done characters help it a lot. A 4 out of 5.

I'm only going to review the first story not interested in the rest TBH.

Joker is a violent, sick, fuck who really gets to display his vicious vision here. Batman and Him going to head to head for the first time is great. I want to see more of that, and wondering how Bruce will corner the piece of shit.
