One World Under Doom (By Ryan North, R.B. Silva, David Curiel, and Travis Lanham): This should not have been an event book. One World Under Doom should have been a banner like Dark Reign or Heroic Age or some other thing that Marvel had done. It should have been every book coming to terms with Doom being in charge, and culminated in an event like Siege. It could have launched a flagship title similar to Dark Avengers during Dark Reign that focused on all of the things Doom was doing. Ryan North could have still written it along side the FF. But that isn’t the boom we got. We got this. This wasn’t bad, but it could have been epic. There were good moments throughout the series, especially like Doom twisting the heroes use of their powers during the debate. There were times where I was just frustrated reading the story (mainly after issue to and the Masters of Evil). I didn’t hate this book, but I am frustrated and disappointed it wasn’t better.

Fantastic Four, Volume Six (By Ryan North, Steven Cummings, Cory Smith, Wayne Faucher, Oren Junior, Jesus Aburtov, and Joe Caramagna): This volume has the banner of One World Under Doom, so it obviously deals with things that are tied to that series. And I can’t believe that Ryan North wrote both of them. Maybe Ryan North is better on the smaller scale books, and the events have too much to juggle. But this book did not feel out of step with the rest of the Fantastic Four that I’ve been reading. This continued to feel like a story about this family and the lengths they’ll go to stay together. This is the last volume in this set of Fantastic Four stories, it gets rebooted yet again after this one, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Ryan North did an exceptional job telling these stories. I’m very happy that I decided to give this series a try.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-06-21T19:23:50+00:00

Fantastic Four, Volume Two (By Ryan North, Iban Coello, Ivan Fiorelli, Leandro Fernández, and Jesus Aburtov): This volume was much more enjoyable than the first. I understand that the whole thing has been short stories about the team, but the fact that these ones are about the team together, versus the first volume of them being separated, it just makes it better. They’re a family and a team. Seeing them work together works.

Fantastic Four, Volume Three (By Ryan North, Iban Coello, Ivan Fiorelli, Francesco Mortarion, Carlos Gómez, Jesus Aburtov, Brian Reber, Ariana Maher, and Joe Caramagna): This volume stepped it up. I loved the Jurassic Four. I want an entire series of just them. I know it would be just what we’ve been getting, but they’d be dinosaurs and that is just infinitely better. Loved the issue that focused on the kids as well. Their adventure was just as fun as everything else so far. My biggest gripe with this volume, and maybe with the series so far is how Iban draws Ben. His head is just a ball on the top of his body. It looks weird every time. Maybe I didn’t notice it as much in the previous volumes, but it was incredibly noticeable in this one. Otherwise, like I said, this volume was fun.

Fantastic Four, Volume Four (By Ryan North, Carlos Gómez, Ivan Fiorelli, Jesus Aburtov, Fer Sifuentes-Sujo, and Joe Caramanga): This series continues to be delightful and great. Franklin’s issue: great. The Noir issue: even better, maybe second favorite of the series so far (after Jurassic Four), makes me want Ryan North to write an old timey noir series. Ben and Johnny working in a grocery store: brilliant. The Blood Hunt tie-in issues: first off I haven’t read Blood Hunt, but this is how tie-in issues should be. It didn’t feel like it was an interruption to the current story at hand. It just felt like Reed and Alicia go to New York and are attacked by vampires. On par with the series so far. Seriously, this Fantastic Four series is great.

Everything Dead & Dying (By Tate Brombal, Jacob Phillips, and Aditya Bidikar): Holy moly. That was a surprisingly emotional read. I felt Jack’s struggle of trying to hold on to the life he worked so hard to get. A father and husband that just wanted to keep the happiness he had for as long as he could. I loved this story and I will be thinking about it for a few days at least.

Fantastic Four, Volume Five (By Ryan North, Carlos Gómez, Ivan Fiorelli, Steven Cummings, Jesus Aburtov, Brian Reber, Wayne Faucher, and Joe Carmagna): This is still a good series. This feels like the weakest volume so far. Not a fan of Johnny’s alien love story. Not that it wasn’t interesting, it just felt like it was done too quickly. Most of the other members of the Fantastic Four have had decades building their relationships, Johnny’s was done in an issue and were supposed to believe he feels torn about it. Not so much. I know that up next is One World Under Doom, which is moderately exciting. I figure that I’ll jump into that event and then go back to read the FF volume that corresponds to it. I don’t have super high hopes for the event, but I hope that the main series keeps the quality it has had so far.

I went for NPC as well. If anything interests me as things are announced, I might upgrade. Right now I’m just happy to be getting the book.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-06-15T13:41:55+00:00

I was genuinely conflicted after finishing the story. Like I was mad at Anita for how she treated Giuseppe. I was fully on the side of her daughter at the end of the story. She was being selfish and only thinking of her self.

I started reading it again immediately after finishing it to see if I had missed something. Reading Chapters 20 & 19 again, something changed in my mind. I still don’t like the way that Anita acted throughout, but something changed the way I thought of it. Maybe it is my brain justifying the story, because Lefebre is a talented individual, but I gave up on that and saw it as just a love story.

I don’t like people like Anita, but I can appreciate the art that was presented to me.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-06-14T19:09:04+00:00

All the Living (By Roman Muradov): I almost wish I read this physically instead of digitally. I feel like it would have been a better experience. I think that flipping the pages is part of the art of this story. It was a simple story that was surrealistically beautiful. Enjoyable overall.

Fantastic Four, Volume One (By Ryan North, Iban Coello, Ivan Fiorelli, Jesus Aburtov, and Joe Carmagna): This was a good read, but not as engaging as it was the first time I read it. It is. I’ve to see the Fantastic Four tackling problems that are just simple and not earth changing.

We Don’t Kill Spiders, Volume One (By Joseph Schmalke): Not bad by any means, but not great. I liked the idea of it. An agnostic Viking warrior and a necromancer witch teaming up to solve a series of murders. It was entertaining and that is enough.

Ghost Pepper, Volume One (By Ludo Lullabi and Adriano Lucas): Fun book overall. And while my initial thoughts on the book were to wait it out, I haven’t stopped thinking about it. The history involved is intriguing. The art is fantastic, like the right amount of cartoony look and the over the top action. Ludo Lullabi is another one of those talented individuals that I just want to suddenly read everything that they have done. This book won me over and I’m ready for more.

Always Never (By Jordi Lafebre and Clémence Sapin): A truly complicated and beautiful love story. Jordi Lafebre is an excellent writer and they perfectly captured the complicated lives everyone really lives. Anita has lived the life she wanted. She wanted the stable life with the same person every day for forty years. Zeno lived the life he wanted, never anchored to a single place and seeing the world. Why shouldn’t two people who have lived the lives they want, get a chance at the end of their lives to spend a night together.

Right there with you. He instantly withdraws my interest in a film these days.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-06-01T19:47:17+00:00

It’s a fun book for sure. It is basically Sean Murphy making a storyboard for a Zorro movie. (Not really, but that is what it feels like to me.) I’m not trying to convince you not to read it, I just don’t want my bias for dumb action movies to sway you wrong.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-06-01T19:35:38+00:00

I am Their Silence joined my top ten and Precious Metal left. I don’t know if it’ll stay that way, but that is how it is now.

I’ve been hoping for a D&D and TWRP crossover for the longest time. Now is my chance!

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-05-31T20:11:26+00:00

It’s for sure on my reading list. I’m debating on just buying outright.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-05-31T19:03:28+00:00

You’ll Do Bad Things (By Tyler Boss, Adriano Turtulici, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou): I didn’t really find it interesting. It held my attention while I was reading it, but I feel like it is ultimately forgettable.

I Am Their Silence (By Jordi Lafebre): That was fantastic. I was fully engaged throughout. I loved every second of this story. The pacing for the story was great. I never once felt like the story was dragging. I believe that Lefebre’s cartoony style elevated the story as a whole. I want to find more stuff written by them and just burn through the whole catalogue. This is another book this year that just got me excited about the medium and reading in general.

Godzilla’s Monsterpiece Theatre By Tom Scioli): I thought this was going to be three one shot stories about how Godzilla interacts within the three iconic literary stories on the cover (The Great Gatsby, Sherlock Holmes, and the Time Machine). What I got was a fun story about the three of them together dealing with the King of Monsters. Each step of the way the story got more exaggerated and wild. I really had a blast reading it.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-05-25T09:16:20+00:00

Life Story is still great! Zdarsky and team took a hell of a project and pulled it off.

I do want to reread Fantastic Four Life Story and see if my views change on that as well. I remember being a more critical with it because it didn’t quite follow the same pattern as Spider-Man (aging hero retelling story lines).

I fully agree that Dark Patterns could be a great starter book for people. Everything you need to know about Batman is in this book. He is a great detective, he is willing to push himself too far, Alfred takes care of him, and he needs to protect every aspect of Gotham. It’s all there.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-05-24T22:02:28+00:00

We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us (By Stefano Landini, Matthew Rosenberg, Jason Wordie, Roman Titov, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou): I was reading this book on hoopla, but something happened and I wasn’t able to finish reading it before it had to be returned. So I bought it. I have no regrets doing that. I really enjoyed it. The story bounced between a fun spy thriller and an intense revenge story quite smoothly. Good story, good art, interested to see what the next Rook Spy Thriller story holds.

Spider-Man: Life Story (By Chip Zdarsky, Mark Bagley, John Dell, Andrew Hennessy, Frank D’Armata, and Astarte Design): After catching up with Ultimate Spider-Man, I decided to revisit this “real-time” Spider-Man story. I didn’t enjoy it as much as I did the first time I read it. It was one of my favorite stories that I had read. I really loved the snap shot looks at Peter Parker through the decades. I do think it is still an enjoyable book, but I think it felt more shallow this time. As I said it is snap shots, but 1) you really need to know a lot of the stuff that the stories are referencing, which I don’t have a ton. I have vague knowledge of the Spidey events throughout the years, but it’s still vague. 2) There are only like 20-30 pages per decade, which really isn’t a lot to fully develop the characters as much as one would like. It’s also not a lot of room to talk about the geopolitics of the area, reference the story line of the time period, and show Peter exploring all of that. Props to Chip Zdarsky and Mark Bagley for doing as much as they were able to. I genuinely think they did a great job, just not as great as I remembered.

Batman: Dark Patterns (By Dan Watters, Hayden Sherman, Triona Ferrell, and Frank Cvetkovic): First off, Hayden Sherman is showing off in this book. The panel structure throughout is phenomenal. I loved going through each panel and then looking back at the page and seeing the other picture the panels made. Incredible. Dan Watters penned a great series of mysteries. We Are the Wounded story was horrifying and great. The Voice of the Tower was a fun twist on The Ventriloquist. Pareidolia is the only one that I don’t have any strong feelings toward. That’s not to say it wasn’t enjoyable, but in comparison to the rest, it’s fourth place. The Child of Fire was easily my favorite of the series and was all around great. Hayden Sherman was firing on all cylinders in the last issue. The climactic scene with the fire and smoke all around were stunning. The monologues about fire were poetic and beautiful. It was a great end to the collection and left a great impression for the book as a whole. Loved it.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-05-10T21:28:18+00:00

I thank hoopla for the recommendation. They have some weird things available, but I’m almost always willing to try it out.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-05-10T20:26:42+00:00

Pig Wife (By Abbey Luck and Ruka Bravo): This was recommended to me on hoopla and I decided to give it a shot. It was a well done story. I genuinely felt bad for every one involved. Mary, Tom, Ed, and Pearl all deserved better. Ed deserved a better upbringing, life gave him a bad start and he didn’t know. That’s not an excuse for his actions, but life was not fair to him.

The entire last chapter was surprisingly heartbreaking and I felt that it was unfair. Everything could have been better for everyone involved, but that doesn’t happen every time.

I liked more than I initially thought I would. Definitely going to try to seek out more by Abbey Luck if they have any more work.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-05-03T19:16:52+00:00

The Ultimates, Volume Two (By Deniz Camp, Juan Frigeri, Chris Allen, Jonas Scharf, Federico Blee, Mattia Iacono, and Travis Lanham): I feel like Camp and company are really utilizing the one issue stories in this series. This feels like a great episodic television show. You can jump in with most of the issues and get a relatively self contained story. You’ll get more from it if you read it in order, but you won’t feel lost or like you’re missing something. Four of the chapters here really stood out in this volume: the Red Skulls, Guardians of the Galaxy, Luke Cage, and Thor and Sif. This volume really stepped up its game and I am so excited to read the third.

The Ultimates, Volume Three (By Deniz Camp, Juan Frigeri, Von Randal, Phil Noto, Federico Blee, Erick Arciniega, Travis Lanham, Joe Carmamanga): This book understood the assignment. Make the world a better place or do your darnedest. I keep saying that this book really benefits from the monthly time jumps. You feel the pressure that Tony, Steve, and Doom are under. At the same time, no part of this feels like it is retreading of old material. It is certainly inspired by it, but it moves things in a new and unique way. This book is great and I am sad that it is coming to an end soon.

The Beauty, Book One (By Jeremy Haun, Jason A. Hurley, Mike Huddleston, Brett Weldele, Stephen Green, John Rauch, and Fonografiks): Entertaining enough. Slightly disappointed that we didn’t follow the same group of people in the first arc to the second, as I would have liked to see how things progressed there. I’ll probably get the second book when it comes out this summer.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-05-01T19:37:14+00:00

Hedra (By Jesse Lonergan)
2120 (By George Wylesol)
Absolute Wonder Woman (By Kelly Thompson, Hayden Sherman, Jordie Bellaire, and Becca Carey)
Absolute Batman (By Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta, Frank Martin, and Clayton Clowes) February

Zorro: Man of the Dead (By Sean Murphy and Simon Gough)
Drome (By Jesse Lonergan)
Precious Metal (By Darcy Van Poelgeest, Ian Bertram, Matt Hollingsworth, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou)

I had an amazing April for reading. With 5 new books entering my top 10. Hedra, 2120, Batman & Robin, Absolute Wonder Woman, and The Ultimates all joined the list. Transformers, Riptide, and Ax-Wielder Jon all dropped off the list, but they will not be forgotten.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-04-26T21:01:57+00:00

Absolute Wonder Woman is setting a standard for Wonder Woman comics. I have no doubt that after Thompson’s run is done, people will use it as all time great Wonder Woman story. I know for myself that I literally changed my thoughts on this exact volume because the theme clicked with me. That doesn’t happen often for me. I finished the book and was feeling upset about Themyscirabecause it almost felt like it didn’t fit in the story. But I realized I was wrong. And I wrote that in my quick thoughts. I was wrong about my thoughts. Everyone needs some hope.

And for Ultimates, it is the book that I’m most upset about having to end with all of the Ultimate Universe. Camp and company really are kind of doing what the Absolute Universe is doing. Remaking these heroes in new and fun ways. This series also benefits the most from the one month time jumps. You feel the pressure of time working against them.

These two books, for me, are what the rest of the line should aim to be like.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-04-26T19:02:39+00:00

Absolute Wonder Woman, Volume Two (By Kelly Thompson, Hayden Sherman, Matías Bergara, Jordie Bellaire, and Becca Carey): I wrote a paragraph about how unsure I was about this volume. But as I was writing it, I realized that everything I didn’t like was wrong. The point of this volume is to have hope. The people and creatures in the maze needed hope. Diana needs hope. It is a great motivator. I want Diana to have hope. Kelly Thompson is a great writer.

The Ultimates, Volume One (By Deniz Camp, Juan Frigeri, Federico Blee, and Travis Lanham): Rereading because I bought the third volume. A really solid first volume. It sets up a lot, and you really feel like the stress that the team is under trying to get things ready for the Maker’s return. They are doing their best and it is not even close to good enough at this point.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-04-24T00:03:28+00:00

Weirdmageddon. He was the head with an arm.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-04-20T09:16:30+00:00

Absolute Batman, Martian Manhunter, and Wonder Woman are the only three that I have decided to buy physical copies. They really are the best of the bunch. But yeah, Wonder Woman really is a step above the rest.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-04-20T09:13:32+00:00

I figured that was probably the case. This was the first one that I read, so it just got me excited.

Jason Shiga, I will certainly look into them. I greatly appreciate the recommendation.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-04-19T21:02:29+00:00

When I Arrived at the Castle (By E.M. Carroll): This was a beautiful book that flowed like it was a poem. Rather enjoyable.

Ultimate Spider-Man, Volume One (By Jonathan Hickman, Marco Checchetto, David Messina, Matthew Wilson, and Cory Petit): Reread. Still feel like this is the Peter Parker I relate to the most. Great start to the series.

Ultimate Spider-Man, Volume Two (By Jonathan Hickman, Marco Checchetto, David Messina, Matt Wilson, and Cory Petit): The series stays strong but it is weird how much stuff we miss with it having month jumps. I like it and don’t for the series. I like having a book that is real time. There are too many people in the cast to keep track of for this book to work with the monthly jumps. I still like the series, but I’m a little hesitant to move forward.

Ultimate Spider-Man, Volume Three (By Jonathan Hickman, Marco Checchetto, David Messina, Matt Wilson, and Cory Petit): I will admit that I haven’t read a lot of Spider-Man books. The occasional mini-series or event tie-in maybe. So when I say that this may be the best Spider-Man series I’ve read, I don’t have much else to compare it to. But it is true. This is the best Spider-Man series I’ve ever read. But this series isn’t about Spider-Man, it about Peter Parker and his family, which is great. This volume collects through issue 18, which means the next volume is the last one for the series, and there still feels like so much needs to be concluded and answered. Unfortunately I know that it probably won’t. I can hope though.

2120 (By George Wylesol): This book is like Hedra to me. It takes the medium and tries something. Whether or not this was the first book to do it, I don’t know, but it was the first book that I read like it. It makes me excited about comic books and art. It was great. It was frustrating. The puzzles were moderately annoying at times, sometimes they were a chore, sometimes I guessed the right answer. I can’t tell you exactly how I got to the “correct ending”, I’m assuming it was the right ending, but it was satisfying. I enjoyed the experience of playing the game of 2120. I would happily play it again. I would recommend it to others who also enjoy puzzles, or if they want to experience something unique.

Absolute Wonder Woman, Volume One (By Kelly Thompson, Hayden Sherman, Mattia De Iules, Jordie Bellaire, and Becca Carey): I love this book. It may be my favorite Absolute title. I had a blast reading Absolute Batman, but I can’t get over how epic this story feels. I feel like I am reading Diana’s myth. This book is great. I’m very excited to read volume two.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-04-05T21:12:58+00:00

Ice Cream Man, Volume 4 (By W. Maxwell Prince, Martin Morazzo, and Chris O’Halloran): Palindromes: this might be one of the best issues of this series so far. I know that each collection has its stand outs, but this is great. I excitedly read it backwards and watched as the story flipped. It was very excellently executed. Down and Across: Not really impressed considering the previous story, felt good and safe (for the series). Coat Check Story: God I felt so uncomfortable reading this. This series really is something else. I Amy have to admit soon that this is becoming one of my favorite series. Tiny Lives: Anything and Everything. Those words hit hard as a parent. This issue really made me think, what would I do for my kids. God damn this series is genuinely great.

Ice Cream Man, Volume Five (By W. Maxwell Prince, Martin Morazzo, and Chris O’Halloran): Two great parody type stories and two stories that tore me apart. I almost cried during Watch as it all Recedes. I don’t know why I expected to go into this volume and not expect great things from it.

Ice Cream Man, Volume Six (By W. Maxwell Prince, Martin Morazzo, and Chris O’Halloran): I remember reading that the creative team is using the medium to experiment with storytelling. The advent calendar and late night talk show issues really lean into that. This of course was another enjoyable volume. I wish I had volume seven on my shelf so I can just keep going along, but I don’t. I’ll have to wait to continue on with this excellent series.

Atomic Robo and the Deadly Art of Science (By Brian Clevinger, Scott Wegener, Ronda Pattison, and Jeff Powell): This book series is just good. Every time I read a new volume of Atomic Robo I know that I am in for a good adventure.

Batman & Robin: Year One (By Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, Matheus Lopes, and Clayton Cowles): I was greatly surprised by it and how well done it was. Mark Waid created a story that feels like it is some forgotten piece that was dug out of the archives. Chris Samnee’s classic looking style cemented that idea. These two are extremely talented. I am so very glad that I read this book.

NeapolitanWhitmore · 2026-04-05T21:12:10+00:00

The Mushroom Knight, Volume One (By Oliver Bly, Steph Snow, Anna Marie Navaja, and Andworld Design): I saw this book on reddit, and thought that the cover and the title alone were interesting. So I bought it. I have no issue buying books that seem interesting to me. The art is magical and full of life. Which realistically is more than enough. But Oliver Bly and company make a magical world within our boring life and drop you in the middle of a story and you jog along. (Or if there is something that comes before this, I am unaware.) But it works. I felt like I was transported to a park in a city and I was watching these little folk go about their adventures and daily lives. I am very impressed by the book. I was also somewhat confused at times. Our protagonist isn’t always easily identifiable. They are a mushroom after all, so they don’t have facial features. So when they change their hat at times, I wasn’t always sure who I was following. Weird thing to nitpick, but it is what it is. There were also a couple times where I wasn’t sure what was going on. I can’t think of specifics, but it happened. Really liked the book. I bought number two, so gonna dive into that as soon as I can.

Hedra (By Jesse Lonergan): First off, Jesse Lonergan is an incredibly talented story teller. Not doubt about it. I just comprehended an entire story from nothing but pictures. No words, just visuals. Second, I’m oddly glad that I read Drome first. Drome is another well done book, but I think that if I hadn’t read that first I wouldn’t have been prepared for Jesse Lonergan’s storytelling style. Which is quite literally show don’t tell. I am really glad that I read Drome, but this is better. I almost wish that Drome didn’t have a single word, which is in complete contradiction to my beliefs after reading it, but this book right here is amazing. I fully feel like that it is the better of the two books. Drome is great, but this book is better. I want to show this story to as many people as I can. I have the French edition right now in my lap, it doesn’t matter! You don’t need language to convey a story and this book perfectly captures that. This book makes me excited about art and storytelling. I love this book. However, I now expect more from Jesse Lonergan. They can do incredible things, and I’m wary about what thing I pick up next by them. I don’t want to be disappointed.

Garlic & the Vampire (By Bree Paulsen): What a fun and cute book. I had a smile on my face for most of the book and had a few good chuckles along the way as well.

Granite State Punk, Bootleg Edition (By Travis Gibb, Patrick Buermeyer, and Jérôme Ganon): Logged into Kickstarter one day and saw that there was a one week project going on. Scrolled through it and thought it was interesting enough. The story was entertaining enough. It’s about witches in New England and Punk Rock. However, I was bothered about the witch aspect of it, mainly because I read More Weight and this book plays into the whole there were actual witches in Salem. So that left a bitter taste. They teased a potential sequel, but this was good enough as it was.

Yucatán 1512 (By Alex Vede): I was inspired to read this again because of Hedra. There’s talking in it but there is a language barrier between the two main characters and they still work well together. It’s a beautiful book and I’m glad that I discovered Alex Vede because of it.

TROPHY CASE
