Dreck. Absolute dreck. I really liked the rag tag group in the first volume, despite the stupid Killuminati villains. I felt like it had real potential. Then there was this. It leans into the stupid elements and gets more ludicrous and tepid and boring. ...more |

"So this was terrible. I'm guessing it was supposed to capitalize off of Captain America: Brave New World as it has Sam Wilson and a Red Hulk in it. The story is just ridiculous. It hits you over the head with its preaching against racism. It's about "

| I’ve read this four times now, and am upping it from 4 stars to 5. There is just a ton of story and character shoved into this volume—and I’m enjoying it more and more with each reading. Great comics. (Update: make that 5 times). | |

| Lean and very mean, this blood-soaked gorefest is light on story and heavy on violence. A good if not great Punisher tale that welcomes Frank back into a wet, red world. | |

| Amadeus Cho is the Hulk with a chill, arrogant, cool guy attitude! And it wears thin very quickly! I guess it’s fun from time to time, but not more than that. One and done for this reader. | |

“From his vantage point on the window sill, The Dude cocked a rear leg back over his head and proceeded to lick at his private parts with a thoroughness that would make a lesser man blush. I shook my head at the sight and mumbled, “Show off,” in the animal’s general direction. For a moment the tiny kitten hesitated, leg still extended behind its head, face still over its crotch. It narrowed its eyes at me, let out a displeased sound, then promptly got back to work.
I suppose there are worse things than being a cat.”

“It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

“They say you can know a man by his enemies, Dresden." He smiled, and laughter lurked beneath his next words, never quite surfacing. "You defy beings that should cow you into silence. You resist forces that are inevitable for no more reason than that you believe they should be resisted. You bow your head to neither demons nor angels, and you put yourself in harm's way to defend those who cannot defend themselves." He nodded slowly. "I think I like you.”

“We are not going to die."
Butters stared up at me, pale, his eyes terrified. "We're not?"
"No. And do you know why?" He shook his head. "Because Thomas is too pretty to die. And because I'm too stubborn to die." I hauled on the shirt even harder. "And most of all because tomorrow is Oktoberfest, Butters, and polka will never die.”
