Hi world, my name's Mimi Schweid and here's my reviews for, The Hellblazer #7, Batgirl #8, Justice League of America #1, Supergirl Being Super #2, Wonder Woman #17, Curse Words #2, Elektra #1, Mighty Captain Marvel #2, Spider-Gwen #17, Spider-Man/Deadpool #14 and Robyn Hood #9.
The Hellblazer #7
The Good; John and Mercury are still sort of bonding! They're in Paris in search of a man who John met once and supposedly knows about Diijin' . John being John though this doesn't exactly play out the way he thought it would. I also love that this series doesn't forget Mercury's abilities even if they aren't as part of the plot as they were in the older Hellblazer days during the Fear Machine arch. It'll totally come into play more than it already has for her with her going into the Green and all that jazz.
The Bad; The new art style isn't exactly my ''thing'' just yet. While I do love the ''brush'' type style, It just doesn't 'fit' the comic for me just yet. Having to translate the French was a bit annoying but that's just me.
- What I liked most: John's ''super-hero'' landing he did while running from people.
- What I disliked most: The ending because it's worrisome.

- Favorite quote:
''Croissant or Pain Au Chocolat. On the face of it might be a simple question, but it says a lot about a person.
''Like putting the tea bag in after pouring the water?''
''No. That I class a deal breaker.''Batgirl #8
The Bad: I mean of course Cobblepot's kid is going to want to get rid of Batgirl. Of course he's going to probably be a secret daddy's boy who want's his father's approval and possibly has had it since he went to return the check and that he just tells girls/Bab's that story so ''we'd go back to my place and you'd try to heal my childhood wounds'' shit. Which while I found funny, I still sighed out loud over it.
- What I liked most: THAT APP IS AMAZING, FLAWED BUT AMAZING!
- What I disliked most: The ending, damn it Cobblepot.

Justice League of America #1
The Bad: GOD BRUCE JUST GO AWAY.
- What I liked most: Caitilin Snow honestly. Everything she says/does.
- What I disliked most: Bruce....

Supergirl Being Super #2
The Good: Awwww, KARA! The fact she ate all of the cerebral in the house than went out and bought enough for five people was adorable and heart breaking. I love that this series focuses on high-school Kara in a different way than the previous Supergirl run just did. The funereal/wake scene was emotional on a different level than some of my stories have been in a long time and I want to applaud the writers for pulling that off the way they did. As a whole though I really loved this issue and I'm thrilled that the comics are as long as they are.
The Bad: Her sketchy track coach totally works for the DEO or something along those lines. She's meant to monitor Kara, I CAN FEEL IT IN MY BONES! It's not exactly a ''bad'' thing, it's just something I'm predicting and feel that it'll be a weird reveal.
- What I liked most: Her parents, man they are just so sweet.
- What I disliked most: The ending only because Kara totally needs a hug again.

Wonder Woman #17
The Bad: I honestly wasn't a major fan of this issue. While I some-what enjoy the whole Diana locked up inside an insane asylum plot line, it's also on the slow side for me. Nothing really seems to be getting 'done' per-say minus watching our big bad villain get built up/continue to be a threat for everyone else in Diana's life.

Curse Words #2
The Bad: The fact I'm probably not going to see more of the beautiful little paradise world that Wizard's created for everyone that he's keeping inside said little paradise world.
- What I liked most: The fact when Wizord losses his beard, he's lost his magic. That's freaking hysterical.
- What I disliked most: THE FACT IT'S ONLY THREE ISSUES.

Elektra #1
The Bad: I'm slightly worried that this will eventually involve Bullseye and Daredevil coming into this series and while I do thoroughly enjoy Daredevil & Elektra together and the chaos that is caused when Bullseye is involved with the duo/in general, I want this series to stay with just Elektra.
- What I liked most: The style of art in which they show Elektra slicing and dicing people.
- What I disliked most: That it wasn't longer?

The Mighty Captain Marvel #2
Poor Bean, this kid needs a hug and maybe some cuddles from the cat.
The Good; This is a cute series and I'm happy I get to read/review it. I'm enjoying this side of Carol where she gets to process the Civil War 2 events as well as try to move on from it all. She's clearly trying and I'm happy she has the Alpha Flight crew to help her through it all even though it seems like that might not always be a thing during this series.
The Bad; I'm a bit worried that the shape-shifter villain will be doing the token ''turn everyone against each other'' trope/thing in issue 3 while Carol is temporarily off the ship. Or in issue 4 when the story-line possibly is tied up.

Spider-Gwen #17
The Bad: I JUST WISH MILES AND GWEN WEREN'T BECOMING A 'THING' DURING THIS CROSSOVER. Having Ms. Marvel have to ask about it was not only awkward for Gwen but also awkward for me. Thanks for being awkward about it Gwen.
- What I liked most: Miles hiding from Kamala.
- What I disliked most: The ending. I'm not ready for where it's going.

Spider-Man/Deadpool #14
The Good: So back in the beginning of the series Peter was in Hell before Wade realized Peter was actually Spider-Man. It did leave a mark on him, it just hasn't been addressed really until the past couple of issues. This one in particular really showed how much it's affecting Peter with his death to Itsy Bitsy obsession. It's understandable given all of the chaos she's caused but also kind of sad that this is how Peter feels even after every villain he's faced. But you know, character growth or something like that. It's more like a character switch with Wade trying to talk Peter out of killing but also showing him still how to kill because he's Wade Wilson.
The Bad: It wasn't really shocking about Peter leaving to go after Itsy Bitsy given all of his fights with Kurt (who was amazing) and Wade this issue.

Robyn Hood I Love NY #9
The Bad: I don't remember the Catskill's redheaded woman's name but I honestly don't care for her.
- What I liked most: The fact Robyn's got a green winter jacket to match her gear.
- What I disliked most: Death Force wasn't really all that appealing for me.
