At the biginning two mutant investigate as in Star Trek a site. Sadly they dies. Dazzler give a show before been called by Apocalypse. Kitty and Evan hide from Iceman. Evan kiss Kitty and that shock a little the girl but not as much as finding a Menorah.
In the art gallery (Cover front for Apocalypse scheme) all reunite and Apocalypse give them their now mission. The team will be split. Apocalypse will send a message that will get the attention of the authority with Shadowcat as support. The rest of the team will help a mutant, that Apocalypse trust he will be lead them to the victory. But as we see he may doing a mistake trusting that.
Cover - So 70's ^^ But the art party gallery was too. So related. And not bad. 1.5/2
Writing - I was more pleased than I fear. But it was a little weird too. I think I'm not intersted in this story. But not because of his quality, just because I don't like this uchrony. Well made 2/3
Arts - Espin isn't my taste of art. Through I like the first pages. But once with Alison he lost me. 2/3
Feeling - I will left this story there. 0/2

Magnificent Ms.Marvel 1

Ms.Marvel fight a low criminal before going to see Nakia. There she finally tell her about how she have gain her power. Then she remember she have to run home too. But something aren't right. She learn that her mother tell her father the truth about her power. He is both proud and frightened. He even try to forbid Kamala to use them. But something happen at the Circle Q and Kamala run saving Bruno. After two battle again a weird kind of alien, Bruno spot another to her home. Kamala go there with panic. But nothing prepare her to the truth.
Cover - Great, but not rellated. 1/2
Writing - This is a perfect enty point for new reader with a reminder of Kamala's origines. And they even mention the time before Secret Wars (Should have they forget about that ?)
The story is good. I even like how the father speak of Kamala in front of the reality of her life.
I also totally understand why her mom tell her secret to her father.
But then their was the ending. I expected something like it (Not entirelly but close to this).
I'm not happy with this ending. In one hand that can be a mislead, with her true parents somewhere else. Or a error. Because for one we know the story of her grand-mother. So I would have tolerated one of them been a alien. But not both, especially her mother.
That was good. Nicely made. I think Ahmed succeed to have Kamala, Bruno & Nakia's Spirit. I hope to see Zoe and Mike again too. But it seem Ahmed has other plan. I will wait to see where the ending lead. For now I let him the benefit of the doubt. 3/3
Arts - Jung and Vlasco did great. Not in all page, but most of them. Kamala & Nakia's face in closer look are very beautifull.3/3
Feeling - This one I read it with apprehension. I wasn't convinced by Ahmed work on the Exiles to say the lest. And if the two first Miles Morales : Spider-Man issues was better, I was disappointed by the end of his first arc.
And to be fair Wilson was big shoes to fill even if her last issues wasn't that great.
So I was pretty impressed by the respect Ahmed show in the first part of his story. But It's a Mixed one, but in the good area. 1.5/2

So he offer the money to the cousin of his driver if he pick up right away Crane by plane. After that Crane want to attack the plane before he target the site. But he see the missile and jump to it. He succeed to catch up the missile and try to disconnect the bomb before it's too late. As always he succeed and have a army waiting for him and the money he don't have anymore. But he don't sweet even with another missile targeting them. He have a plan.
Oh we also see that crane work on how to stop a asteroid even if the nasa calculs was wrong and that he's more close to them. As well as on a teenage disappearance. And the cult have a new leader.
Cover - The variant. Not related. And a little off. 0.5/
Writing - So good, because he have to catch up for the previous issue and give me the need to take the last. 3/3
Arts - So much fantastic panel. It's a true blockboster with action in each turning page. So good. 3/3
Feeling - After a issue I didn't like at all, the story succeed to take me back on the road. Great now I have to order the last issue. 2/2

Tony Stark : Iron Man 9

Rodey and Wasp are alone against the controller. They try to call the Avengers but even the reservist are stuck with the escape player. Jocasta attempt to shut down the system but for now are a bunch of Creed assassin's in her way. Andy is attack by Bethany but thanks to was Bettany have a moment of lucidity and give her arm to Andy.
In the Escape Amanda has trouble. Tony don't recognize her and Martha tell she was a soviet spy (A classic black widow ^^ ). Thanks to Aaron, Amanda his safe and they attempt to win Tony back. That work for like one minute, before Martha reveal the truth behind the Escape. Tony isn't tony anymore. So it's seem her link to Amanda is broken.
Cover - Beautifull and in a way related. 1.5/2
Writing - Damn slott is a great writer on this ongoing. I know Zub is credited too, and even if I like him too, for me it's more Slott word I see. And to be totally fair. I hate Slott on FF ^^ Slott here give us so much in there. We have not only the controller fighting in the real world, or andy facing a threatening Betahny. we also have the Excape with Martha Stark I.A. turning rogue. And some glimpse of the excape player in the real world making chaos.
I didn't enjoy iron man this much since ... Well never. (I really never give a try to Armor Wars, maybe it's the only things who can contest.) 3/3
Arts - Schitti & Rivera did beautifull stuff. 3/3
Feeling - The perfect run continue. It was another marvelous reading. 2/2

But Raven Soul have doubt about she can do something. Thanks to them she will understand that she is more powerfull that raven's darkest side. Once Raven herself again, she succeed to free garfield. And the titans are on their way to help their friend.
Cover - The variant. Not related. But awesome. 1/2
Writing - It's a logic closure of the arc. I will wait for the last issue with envy. 3/3
Arts - Not always perfect. But he do the job. 3/3
Feeling - I really like this arc, and I'm sad it's the last one. For me the team finally made sense in this arc.
Abnett use well the red, and I like how he treak us. ^^ My titans forever. 2/2

Transformers 1

I don't know much about the transformers. I see the old animated serie when I was young. I tried the Bay two first movies. And one comics so far - Transformers : Lost Light. But without knowing well the comics, I didn't enjoy it.
This new ongoing was the occasion to try aggain. It seems to be free of the rest. A reboot or something alike. But it's not. It's in the Transformers past. And it's seems it's related to other comics. For one the grudge that Megatron have against Orion Pax don't seem to be new.
And even if I don't understand all the Transformer mythos. I find weird that Optimus Prime wasn't Optimus Prime at this time. I find the Orion Pax thing confusing.
Like I'm not fond of the fact that Windblade look alike a Americain plane already. I was thinked they adapt to earth tech letter. She could have been a plane but more Alien like.
That said, the story was more interesting that I feared.
Cover - I take the variant with Rubble on the cover. So related (More than the regular) and not so bad. A little to freezed. 1.5/2
Writing - In following the rookie steeps with Rubble I find myself welcomed in this univers more than I expected. It was a good story with a very interesting ending. I would have loved seen a story where Optimus (Well Orion) and Megatron was Buddy. But that wasn't bad. I would have loved to know more what really bother Megatron through. He rebell but I don't see the point. Their society seem so open. Open to change, Open to possibility, Open to wonder. But I quibble 3/3
Arts - The first page don't convice me. But then their is this fantastic splash page. Yeah maybe a little to geometrical. To clean. But then their is the monkey (Well the Voin scavengers). This page show that the Hernandez can do better. It's just he treat Robots like machine. So they seem flawless. Whitman is more interesting in is approach, or maybe have more experience with Transformers. They seem more credible. Not like if a cube was one another cube, but You can move it like magic cabin. With whitman its more a body with their own logic and more nested. But their is less backgound with whitman than Hernadez. So they are square to me ^^ 2.5/3
Feeling - This was more intersting that than I anticipated. I will tell the thruth I only risk the two first issue. But if the second is as good than this one. I will catch back my sollicitation for the following issues. 2/2
9/10

About Titans, 2 issues and it's over...
I prefer Teen Titans because Dick is here no more (and Wally is MIA).
I wonder how DC will relaunch the title.

Wonder Woman 65

Maggie have drive three magical being to a forest. A faun who hit her, and she seem open to that. A scared cow and pegasus. As soon Pegasus take the sky he encounter a titan. Maggie prompt the Faun to call wonder woman for help. Diana find herself against to titans and go see Amanda Waller to have Giganta Help. But both woman seem to have something against diana. Well in truth I think Waller just push her luck to have Diana in her debt !
Cover - The regullar. Nice and somewhat related. 2/2
Writing - I like how Wislon write this story. She use well each character. 3/3
Arts - Nord is just perfect. I love his Giganta by the way. 3/3
Feeling - So with this issue I more kean to let another shoot at Wilson.
She use well the supporting characters.
It's not a very good issue, but not a bad one.
I will take this arc to see if Wilson will gain my support or not. 1/2

X-23 10

Laura confront Chandler. But even her can match with that much clones of her. Luckily Gabby go to the rescue with one off them on their side. Chandler try too flee, but both Laura and their sister with no name have another idea.
Cover - The Spider-villains variant. So not related, but damn good. 1/2
Writing - Love her gabby, love scout, love laura. See you next month with pleasure and a huge smile. Well a perfect ending for this arc, one again. What to add ? 3/3
Arts -Yeah maybe olortegui isn't the best choice. But look at gabby smile. It's perfect. A very good job. 2.5/3
Feeling - It's a damn good Ongoing. Thanks leving a smile after all that sadness in my face. Your are very tallented. End of the second arc. So sad, so beautifull. I really love Tamaki writing on X-23 2/2
+1 for a perfect run so far and after Taylor, I think it wasn't easy to take this job. So well done.
9.5/10

So now I will not be surprised if you ask for my review in english. I trust their is less spelling mistake than in french ^^

The Black Knight #5
Clap de fin pour cette mini-série Black Knight de Zenescope - fort classique, très prévisible, mais qui a mieux traité le principe du Black Knight de Marvel que Marvel eux-mêmes, ces dernières années.
Terry Kavanagh embraye sur un final basique, mais efficace. Peyton pleure un criminel mort en héros, fait le point, va stopper l'ennemie, découvre qui est le vrai monstre, résiste à la tentation de ramener son père mort, puis règle les affaires courantes après un combat fort à propos. Kavanagh se permet même deux ouvertures, un personnel pour Peyton, un autre pour permettre un retour du vilain

qui s'avère être le célèbre Raspoutine ! Pas la pire des idées, après une saga mystique dans la mafia russe.

Je le répète : quiconque cherche de l'originalité dans le fond et la forme, ou qui cherche même un récit surprenant, n'est pas la cible de cette mini-série. Celle-ci vise "juste" à raconter une histoire classique, en suivant lentement mais sûrement les étapes, la procédure ; et ça fonctionne. Ce goût de comics à l'ancienne est plutôt agréable, comme un rendez-vous régulier, simple mais sympathique.
Sergio Arino participe à ce sentiment général, avec un style sans brillance, souvent un peu figé... mais propre, dynamique par moments, clair. Correct et professionnel - ni plus, ni moins. Cela s'adapte complètement à l'intrigue, et permet même de ne pas faire trop "putassier", avec le costume improbable de l'héroïne.

Je ressors satisfait de cette mini-série.
Ho, elle a plusieurs défauts, et ça manque d'origine claire (même la première apparition de Black Knight de Zenescope n'en a pas vraiment ; elle récupère les pouvoirs des Books of Fables, elle est la nouvelle Black Knight, voilà). Ce n'est pas franchement exaltant, ce n'est pas très beau.
Mais... c'est efficace. Propre. Correct. Sérieux. A l'ancienne, surtout.
Et, aussi, cela demeure vraiment une reprise cohérente du principe de Black Knight de Marvel : le personnage extérieur à la magie qui en devient un héros (le scientifique Dane Whitman/l'avocate Peyton), l'incompatibilité de l'humeur du personnage avec une telle mission (Dane est direct dans sa prise de décision, Peyton se définit comme une "bitch" dans ses relations de travail), un rejet fondamental du coeur de ses pouvoirs (ni l'un, ni l'autre ne s'y intéressent à la base), et un côté "brut de décoffrage" dans la gestion des crises.
Cette mini-série aurait fait une très bonne version Ultimate. A l'heure des remplacements de Marvel, ça aurait pu faire une très bonne Black Knight chez Marvel (on a d'ailleurs eu une Black Knight par Joe Casey, sans suite) ; mais non.
C'est triste, en un sens, que l'éditeur Zenescope, si décrié pour ses couvertures et ses designs de filles légères, reprenne si sérieusement et correctement un principe si ancien de Marvel ; mais bon, ça fait une belle surprise !

Justice League #20
Le précédent numéro ouvrait cette nouvelle saga et m'avait plu, alors que la série ne cesse de s'enfoncer dans le même blabla et la même thématique cosmique ; cet épisode confirme la bonne impression, en ayant en outre la bonne idée d'aller un poil plus vite.
La Justice League rencontre sa version du futur via un passage dans la 6e dimension ; non, je ne comprends pas comment ou pourquoi, je renonce à suivre les pseudo-explications scientifiques de Scott Snyder. Le voyage est cependant sympathique, via une présentation d'un monde idéal, qui ne sera bien sûr qu'un leurre ; prévisible, mais l'ensemble paraît efficace et bien construit.
Scott Snyder fait une revue du "destin" de chacun dans le futur, et livre même une explication sur Perpethua et le Multivers ; enfin, les Multivers au cœur de l'Omnivers, et Perpethua est une créature cosmique qui créé des Multivers mais veut détruire l'Omnivers, et a donc façonné le Multivers DC pour créer du chaos et tout casser. Bon. C'est inutilement complexe pour un truc fondamentalement bateau, mais ça a le mérite d'exister.
Surtout, il y a quelques bonnes idées et caractérisations sur les personnages, et Snyder gère bien. Le final est prévisible, mais encore une fois efficace ; notamment parce que Snyder va en effet un peu plus vite qu'avant, et parce que Jorge Jiménez livre des planches très dynamiques et jolies.
Un bon cru. Quel dommage que ça se perde autant dans le blabla, et que ça complexifie inutilement un propos d'une simplicité presque effrayante, au-delà du vernis cosmique.
