BAD, BAD COMIC !!! ...terrible

Groo versus Conan was terrible.  Too much time was spent yakking about getting the series made, the fight scene between the two barbarians was pitiful.  I love the creators and the characters but, this was not a good comic at all. All build up and no pay off... horrible comic. Read any of the early Groo stuff or any of the early Marvel comics Conan Sal Buscema stuff

Sigh... Aside from the obvious pathos of seeing Ol' Supes buy the farm, there is nothing to save here: Nineties writing at its worse, comics writing at its lowest, barely decent artwork... The resurrection is stretched out at its best, none of the 4 Superman pretenders are worth a dime, characters and dialogue are flat, bully-like where they should be tough, one-dimensional where they should be deep and meaningful... And the purposed reason for this all, that is, to show a world without a Superman and the meaning he has/had for all? A 100% botched attempt. They give it a few pages of thought balloons at best, then the crazy plot goes forward and that's it...
If you'd like to read meaningful Superman "deaths", get Morrison and Moore and steer clear of this...

WTF??? Either I'm so far out of the loop that the loop doesn't exist or...today's DC comic books are just plain nonsensical. Honestly, I, for the most part, don't understand why this "comic" was even written. With no explanation as to who is who or why they are even in the "comic" or what their purpose is, I found no real reason to consider investing a further smattering of my time on additional issues.

Even without the aforementioned contents and their less than understandable storyline, I also found the formatting for my Kindle to be less than user friendly. It presents an entire page with print too small to comfortably read and then breaks the page into smaller portions so you can read it. It gives you these smaller quadrants page by page. The end result is horribly disjointed... kinda**********************like********************

Really, I read tons of comics in my younger days but they were nothing like this. They were clear and concise, which is not at all what I found in the pages of this freaky offering. Sorry, but to each his own, and with that I give this one two stars.

Sorry, but this is pretty awful overall.  The animation and sound are terrible, the dialogue is worst and there's no real sense of pace to the episodes.  The only thing they have going is nostalgia and years of fantastic X-Men comics to work with for plots and characters.  I don't know if it gets any better in the subsequent volumes, but this one's just plain bad.  Buy it only if you want a few laughs at a very cheesy 90s cartoon.

This book is visually confusing, because they don't print the artwork the way it was in the comic book, they make a montage of a bunch of different panels with photshop, so there's always parts of pictures laying over other pictures, and they don't relate.  They do the same thing with the writing, so you can't follow what they're saying, like a cut-and -paste job.  Real ugly graphics.  I used to love comics in the '60s and '70s, but they hacked them up and tried to make them look like modern comics where your eye can't tell where you're supposed to look.  Just a hatchet job by somebody who went crazy with photoshop.  And no good history of the comics or creators, either, just tiny short blurbs, which seem more like one-liners.  Very disappointing.  I'd rather read re-prints of the comics themselves.

This book is nasty, Nasty, NASTY!!  And not in a good way.  If you are a fan of the comic series Super Taboo, by Wolf Ogamai, this is not for you.  NASTY!!!!  (Amazon requires a star rating, but I rate this NO STARS.)

Great comic, but pages began falling out the day I got it.... This is very bad. Spine is completely separated!!!

I re-read this issue recently.  While not a die-hard fan, the story/artwork is clunky at best.  At best, the cover is very misleading (not unlike most comics).

This was terrible! If I could give less than 1 star I would. I got this cause IGN and everyone raved about it. They said this was up there with The Dark Knight Returns, Long Halloween, etc. This was a terrible story. The comic writers now days have no idea how to tell a story.

I have to agree with S. Penrose. The script was probably at least slightly above average, but the artist's execution of it (pun intended) left a lot to be desired. The illustrations were beautiful, but that means nothing when so much is lost in translation and readers are scratching their heads trying to figure out what's going on. The publisher should've had the brains to bring in someone conversant in the comics medium to facilitate this process, especially for an author of Moore's stature.

Violent, unfunny comic book porn. Gross, profane and an overly long origin story don't make things any better. Should appeal to lower class couch dwellers with a passion for bathroom humor and constant F Bombs.

OMG, what a waste of my money and time. I've read many of Mr Young's rants about crappy comics and how his publishing comic works hard to put out quality stuff. I remember reading some early reviews about this book and how it was a realistic take on superheroes..  After reading the book I now wonder if these reviewers were friends of the writer or just sucking up.  The story starts out fairly nice and then....well it just seems to go NOWHERE. Save your money.

I love batman, but this version of batman is by far the worst version ever created (including all the live action, animation, or comic book versions of batman).  I have no clue why they are wasting animation resourses on a crap cartoon like this, when they could be putting it toward quality cartoons like Justice League.  Warner Bros. needs to get a clue.  I might not be a kid anymore (I'm the ripe old age of 21), but if I ever have kids I can promise you they will not be allowed to watch this.  They will be watching all of the Batman the animated series dvds that I bought last month.  Please parents (and kids) go buy those dvds (or superman the animated series, or justice league, or batman beyond, or x-men, or even teen titans) instead of wasting your money on this crapola.

A comic book without the pictures.  It's not bad writing, but the plot degenerates into a libertarian rant that does nothing to further the story.  I gave up about 75% of the way through.  Let me know if I missed anything.

For being a second title Peter Parker The Spectular Spider-Man isn't that bad. The villains aren't really that great though, I mean Spider Man fights Ninjas for god sakes. The arc where Spider Man became the lizard is awful. The art is terrible and the pages are messy and unclear so its not even worth reading. Its not bad and the art is usually good but its diffidently a side book

awful, juvenile whining like so many of today's comics. no timing, subtlety; just diatribes

I have been thoroughly enjoying the New 52 Catwoman series. Enough so that I've bought the collections as soon as they hit the racks. I may return this one, or give it to the Goodwill.

Simply put, it stinks on ice. The art is pretty good, but the story is gawd-awful, The Joker's Daughter?? Come on. I know she's not claimed to be the Joker's real daughter, but the idea's been done to death.  And the whole underground world with three tribes under Gotham.....

Ms. Nocenti really needs to return this character to being the premier thief in Gotham, and leave this whole idea in the dim past.

The only real reason I can see to buy it is to have all the volumes.
