I havnt picked up a single issue of Titans since issue 7 in which I voiced my opinions in another review, the story and continuity in that issue made me want to find Winnick and put a slug in his head.  BUT!! This issue was pure awesomeness, it wasnt the fights which were nothing compared to other comics it was the story.

I am and will always be an Aquaman, and when Tempest was dropped into Comic Limbo after IC i was extreamly pissed. I wanted to know what happen to Dolphin and their child. And my questions for this long time have finally been answered and part of me wishes they werent, Garth has gone through so much BS over the years and he had one chance at happiness and WOOSH the carpets pulled right from under him.

Although their is another good thing to come out of this besides the story, THE THRONE HAS BEEN FILLED!!! OMFG my jaw dropped to the floor when I read the last page. And all i could scream was FINALLY!!!!!

Giving this a 4 out of five i really enjoyed everything within it

Bought this today (i know its been so long since ive bought a actual Marvel comic). Was a the new comic shop in my area and the guy told me to pick it up saying "If you love Deadpool, this dude you will enjoy" To which i did the scooby doo "UHHH!" and bought it.

So Bringing it home an reading it I really got into the character of Zodiac yeah hes a blatant ripoff of DP, but hes still rather cool. Loved the scene where he says "Yeah there was an earlier Zodiac, but I liked the name so I made sure it was free for use" rolling the heads of the Zodiac members out of a bag. Really cool, was thinking before reading it "Isnt their already a Zodiac?" So the take on the issue is pretty cool, and if your an OG of Marvel like I am and have read the older comics with the Circus Gang you will get pretty cool trip down memory lane in this issue.

I love how their bringing some characters from the old days an giving them a new work over, and Manslaughter is pretty nice touch too. Havnt seen him in forever since the spidy issues (yes boys an girls I read Spiderman, back when he wasnt as Emo).

The Art was pretty good too, not the greatest Ive seen. Its alot more surreal in some places in it so it got my attention.

So in all this wasnt the greatest comic Ive ever read, Nor was it the worst. So it got an average grade, I will follow this from time to time pick up the rest of the issues if they come in TPBs. But really looking forward to seeing who Zodiac really is.

HOLY CRAP!!!

This has got to be the greatest final issue of all the comics ive ever freaking read. The action was intense and wild as hell, watching your favorite Minituemen duke it out an show the comic world how its f@#king done was glorious. The last page was absolutely awesome.

FIVE OUT OF FIVE this was a awesome comic, and a extreamly awesome series finale

Now this one was something I read simply out of boredom before work tonight. And I have to say for a ten year old comic this was rather interesting, not one of the well known of the Vertigo lines but defiantly not something to pass up. I really cant find any really original words for this comic besides if you want a story of sticking it to the proverbial MAN this is defiantly one you should pick up. The art reminds me of the first few issues of Preacher in how its gritty yet also very well done for the story itself.

The story of Bobbi and what happens in the first issue is quite interesting, and most certainly not for the easily offended. If you dont like watching a woman having to strip naked while they "Pat" her down with a machine then dont pick this up. But I really did enjoy reading this. And For a very a mini its quiet nice.

This was an insanely interesting book, if its not the art or the humor within the story its the story itself. I couldnt stop reading this book i was actually taken entirely into the world of David and King Saul. Watching David turn from the carefree smartass child into the man he became at the end of the story is something I would read in a novel not a comic and I loved every moment. David starting out the humble harpist to the lecharous and evil King Saul, and Davids harp being the only thing that keeps the great King Saul at peace ion the beginning of the story was really interesting. This is a great book especially for those who love blood and an actual story behind the senseless violence like me, the scene where David conqours a enemy ten times his size was simply awesome.

Watching a boy become a man within this 160 page comic was very fun. Starting out the cute kid and turning into a war hero within 2 years of the beginning of the book was just fun to watch, this is the kind of comic that feels as if your watching a movie. And when you find yourself rambling as I am now to how the comic was done its just that much more satisfying to have read it. And I reread it for a second time after finishing it, and found some little humor I hadnt caught the first time.

The Art was....amazing. The kind of cartoony stuff we saw back as a kid only filled with blood,sex, and gore. It was just a sight for the eyes.

This 150+ page Graphic Novel is a novelty for those true blue Vertigo fans. Its not the greatest in the Vertigo archives but its not horrible in any sense. The storyline is almost engrossing if youcan get past the photos depicting the story art. Its really not for the people who want action in their stories because Ill admit it this is probably one of the more mundane Vertigo comics. The humor in it is dark an twisted, we have our main character Jake who is like any NORMAL photographer hes a jacka$$. So the story follows what happens when you take a picture you know your not supposed to. I had going into this already in my mind this was going to be a forced read but as I got past the tenth page I really started to dig how the story unfolded. And towards the end it did get kinda hurried storywise as if they writers realized "How are we going to keep people reading this?" but it did end on a typical Vertigo ending making you go "Wtf, this guys got no friggin luck.".

And Like many Vertigo titles the story is what sets it apart from the rest, a very odd book but none the less a good one. 3/5 The art was odd and tacky and if not for the story i would have given this book a poor rating but it saved itself this time.

You know i was going to give Winnick the benefit of the doubt at being at this game of comics for sometime, sometimes you have some low times but for god sakes.  COME on turning the Titans which was a pretty good story when it started into this...well i cant say it on this site.

Jericho is the bad guy again and taking control of people.....hmmm sounds so very familiar. Alright if you cant come up with any original ideas dont just recycle old stories.

In end DO NOT PICK THIS UP. I gave it half a star because the art wasnt all that bad an that was pretty much it. Just let this sit on the shelf an collect dust.

Holy crap is all i can say is and I need to read more Ironfist.

Yeah this wasnt packed full of action but I LOVED the story. The way it kept you guessing an had quite a few twists, this is hands down one of my favorite reads of this month. Seeing a story let alone a oneshot like this done like it was is really sweet. The art was awesome an the story coincided with the art an both meshed an came out into an awesome read.

I recommend this to all Marvel readers.

Alright out of all the DC Universe titles an tie ins the the FC story. This was one of the least amusing, i mean i understand what they were doing with it but i picked it up only cause it was a DC Universe comic. I now wish i hadn't because it really wasnt worth it. BUT the story had some fairly amusing parts, the reactions from the other Leaguers for what Ollie had done.

Alright they have finally done it. In the past years i have not been able to read anything Logan for very long without getting tired of all his demigodness. And they finally made a comic in which it just shows Wolverine in his truest form a badass but not a immortal badass.

Yes he does have his healing abilities but i mean this showed a part of him that we all thought he had at some point but now its been finally brought to the light.

I always wanted to know what happened to logan during those years of WWII and this is but a glimpse into that part of his world.

This is a must have for anyone who enjoys Logan in his less demigod role.

The whole series was a wonder for the soul. For with one man the end was near and coming fast. This issue made me tear up with the scene with Galactus i was in tears. This issue was one long coming and so was the whole aspect of the comic. He was a great man an forever missed. And if a man like Galactus can see in him a truly good man and even make a promise with him, then this comic was long awaited. Absolutly loved this comic. The Art is the kind that makes you tear up it is so beautiful.

this entire sequal was very bland it didnt even make me want to read it. i had to just because i have a ocd when it comes to reading things. The separate issues of each of the characters were much better than the actual two The Kingdom issues. The first was semi enjoyable. but this one i would burn it if it was on paper(hard drive). I mean Kingdom Come was one of the most enjoyable magnificent comic i have read TO DATE. And i have been reading comics since i was about 7. this was such a disappointment

made me laugh in more than one places like when he ran into the guy whose head blows up he said" Sometimes I swear i hear god laughing at me." The issue turned some big things over like where the hell killbrew went. and i enjoyed the issue as a whole. I love deadpool and i have alot of his stuff just beacuse he is so darn random and its jsut that funny. And Deadpools relationship with siryn as a whole is very touching makes u wanna get up and cheer for the guy. ANd i hate MAry for what she did to Pool

this has got to be the best comic i have read thisyear the entire 52 series leading up to a war where are freinds died. Some not too important Frankienstin but they did sacrafice themselves and this comic ends it with a bang.

I know this isnt the end of 52 but it sure as hell could have ended this way and i would have been happy because jon is back and out of all the Leaguers he is my favorite just becase he us him. The entire World WAr 3 was explosive and great i knew damn well Adam wouldnt stay by and not take revenge and the entire series was great good way to start the new begining

This was one of the most fantastic issues i have ever read. It was packed full of drama which for some odd reason i enjoy . Peter sacraficeig himself for the rest of the mutant community wow. First comic i ever cried for. when he said im coming home Snowflake i lost it tears rolling down and everything. But the issue was packed full of everything a X fan loves. When i read that the only way the cure would work is if a mutant injected himself with it and used their powers i knew someone we love was going to make the sacrafice . Gotta love Peter for that .

i do believe that this issue shows that fat people really do rock. It showed Blob in his glory as a a@#hole and it was great. The whole being able to manipulate the circus fiends into working with him wow even with out a leader to control him he can do damage himself. He really hasnt been this smart in the later issues he was in he is usually the dumb fat guy u use when you need a walking wall.

The i would have loved if he had become an X-man for even a couple of issues it would have been funny since Bobby wasn't all that funny back in the day, so that would be blobs department
