184 A-Force

This bounced off of me hard. No real unique angle for the super heroics, Singularity gets lost in the shuffle quick and the theme of sisterhood from the mini-series is discarded. Starting this before Civil War II wrecks the team is kinda funny. Medusa was a real jerk here.

183 Monsters Unleashed (series)

Continues the fun action of the event while expanding Kei's powers. The first arc with Mole Man and the Intelligencia is pretty good and ends on a nice note. Sadly things kinda stall in the second half as it's obvious it's ending soon.

182 Monsters Unleashed (Event)

A fun knockout fight between heroes and classic Marvel monsters. I'm glad Elsa got something new to do here by being a mentor to Kei. The 2017 Inhuman propaganda is on full force and has aged poorly. Tons of great art from the artists of each issue.

181 Playdate

This is bad.

Tone is all over the place, barely tries to be a kids movie but there's so much swearing, drug references and other stuff that no parent is gonna let their kid watch this. It's fun seeing Alan Ritchson play a dumb bro again. The movie ends with child murder.

180 Heads of State

Someone at Amazon watched The Suicide Squad and decided they wanted more of that. The banter between Cena and Elba is fine but it just doesn't hit like Gunn. The Air Force One action scene is the high point for how GI Joe it is, but suffers from terrible CG throughout.

179 Secret Wars A-Force

A decently fun mini-series that I feel like doesn't do much with the sisterhood theme it seems to be tackling. The interplay and quipping between the team feels rather lame and tiresome after a while. The traitor plot point comes in too late and of course it's Loki.

178 Reacher S3

Another solid season for Reacher, enjoyed it more than 2 but less than 1. The cat and mouse set-up for most of the season was a lot of fun, they really upped the tension with each new wrinkle in trying to keep the ruse up. The action was good as well, the 7'2" heavy was fun.

177 Secret Wars Marvel Zombies

Neat tie-in about Elsa dealing with the trauma of being raised by her dad. Hopeless certainly has fun writing her but it goes a bit far sometimes. Adheres to common zombie story tropes of the harass and kid traveling but its fine for a mini series.

176 Fearless Defenders

This is certainly a team comic. I get what Bunn was setting up in the first half but the back half is just spinning its wheels until the end. The adventures never feel grandiose enough, Caroline Le Fay is a crummy villain.

175 Ping Pong Peril

Had good energy, zany matches and good characters but I guess that wasn't enough. That last chapter introduces aliens that maybe they should have lead with. I certainly hope Kataoka comes back.

174 Trails Through Reverie

A capstone for Crossbell and Erebonie which delivers. The ultimate Trails experience packed with so much stuff that it'll exhaust you. The final boss feels over tuned but otherwise a nice time with stupid fun combat.

Goodbye Erebonia and hello Calvard.

173 Shin Kamen Rider

Extremely approachable as someone who hasn't watched OG Kamen Rider. The pathos is pushed to the front so much you can feel it. All the characters feel vulnerable and endearing. Some scenes feel straight outta NGE that I laughed.

172 100 GFs S2

The ridiculousness continues with more girls and insane scenarios. Rentarou continues showing off how he's built different. I'm glad Mimimi and Meme are finally in. Some jokes are not big on like Iku being a masochist but it's minor.

171 Ekiden Bros

This never stood a chance. The MC is pretty boring and we got overloaded with a dozen characters way too quickly that everything gets lost in the shuffle. The depiction of running was not interesting in the least bit.

170 CSM Reze Movie

Did this need to be a movie ? Not really but they sure as hell tried to justify it as much as possible. Gone is the clinical cinematic style and in a more goofy one that's somewhat closer to the manga, much more willing to go crazy with color.
Alexis Tipton is amazing as Reze.

169 Hentai Kamen

Has enough shameless energy where I get why it lasted as long as it did but the author adheres to the same formula the whole way through that it got boring after a while. There are 4-6 jokes that get repeated every chapter with zero evolution.

168 100 GFS S1

Rewatched with the dub and boy this is still so much fun. The adhering 100% to the dumbest/best harem premise ever. A bunch of lines in the dub are pretty great, caught the Breaking Bad references and others. Animation is still good and does all the big scenes justice.

167 Kaedegami

Man it never gets easy when a series you like gets the axe. I thought the set-up was strong, the building of the rivalry between Chiyou and Nuba was good and I like the relationship with Kou. The action was messy sure but it would've improved.

166 Chainsaw Man S1

Damn this shit was cool. It was fun going back to early CSM and picking up on early foreshadowing in a really stylish package. The angle of mimicking movie cuts and mise en scene was ambitious and well worth the effort. Dubs great as well.

165 Astonishing Tales

Anthology series that a decent enough read. The Logan and Frank is carried hard by Rocaforts art. The Arno Stark story is pretty boring. Real highlight here is the Hickman and Pitarra story of Roberto and Sam in Mojoverse. Also eww Sabra story.

164 Dandadan S2

Another fun romp with these goofballs. It doesn't quite hit the highs of S1 since a decent chunk of this season is set-up but theres still a lot of impressive animation. The Evil Eye stuff is really well realized and the VA work is top notch.

163 Nextwave Agents of H.A.T.E

Still holds up like it just came out yesterday. Taking characters no one cares about and throwing them through a gauntlet of dumb W.M.Ds and a parody of the Marvel universe is a winning formula. Immonen on art is just too good man.

162 Bloodstone

Elsa Bloodstone's first appearance is practically unrecognizable from where she quickly ends up. She's just kind of a Buffy rip off here with her own Giles, Xander and her mom in the mix. Personality wise shes almost there but not quite. Interesting from a history angle.

161 One Battle After Another

A hell of a roller coaster of a movie. Effortlessly switching from high tension scenes, comedy and action. The story shows the strength in family and why it's worth fighting against white supremacy and it's ugliness. And man that final stretch of road.
