Review: X-Men: Inferno

X-Men: Inferno by Chris Claremont
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Mostly dumb story, a mix of cool and dumb designs, some great and terrible artwork, and some horribly plodding segments. Some great character moments, great bouts of teamwork, some complete idiocy, you get my point. I loathed soem of it, loved other parts, but the last third or so was really enjoyable and that kept it slightly above average for me. Definitely the weakest major X-Men event I've witnessed in my attempt to read through all the X-books.

Review: Justice League (2011-) #46

Justice League (2011-) #46 by Geoff Johns
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It was ok, but it spent too much time setting up future events an not enough making what's currently going on interesting. But the next issue is sure to kick ass.

Review: Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2015-) #1

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2015-) #1 by James Tynion IV
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It started kinda boring, and I'm not big on the art style, but once the turtles started reacting to new stuff like the turtles, it was pretty entertaining, and it had a pretty sweet ending. It was nothing special, but good enough of a setup issue to be worth reading #2 when it comes out.

Review: Mass Effect: Blasto: Eternity is Forever

Mass Effect: Blasto: Eternity is Forever by Mac Walters
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This was disappointing. It completely relies on the idea of a Hanar with guns and quips being funny, but that loses its edge shortly if nothing else entertaining happens. To write comedy, one must first be humorous.

Justice League: Darkseid War: Green Lantern (2015) #1 (Justice League: Darkseid War by Tom King
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A pretty good character study on Green Lantern, with some nice older school art from his heyday, and while the ending is disappointing from an intrigue perspective, it makes sense for Hal as a character. It's mostly kinda boring, but it has its moments, and Hal's new hair looks dumb.

Justice League: Darkseid War: Flash (2015-) #1 (Justice League: Darkseid War by Rob Williams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Cool premise, some inspiring dialog, and Barry being awesome as always. However, it rushed to a conclusion and felt hollow. But it was a joy to look at.
