The last two...no wait.I was let down by this title.I'm not sure how anyone reads this monthly.It changes tone constantly. Story parts don't hang together.I hoped it would be good.It is only okay.Their is great materiel here, it just needs to be worked.Hoping future issues will fix the problem.

With a name as naff as “Mister Terrific”, the book has to be good right? DC don’t do irony or try to make their superheroes laughable so anything they’re calling terrific better damn well be terrific. Except when it isn’t like “Mister Terrific”. Michael Holt is that rarest of things in superhero comics: a billionaire industrialist genius who is also a superhero. Did I say rare? I meant the polar opposite. So things are off to a good stereotypical start. Cookie cutter out, instant superhero creat...

Mind Games was a steaming cup of crap with a heaping spoonful of stupid mixed in for good measure.It makes Justice League International, Vol. 1: The Signal Masters look good, if that tells you anything. So far, this is hands down the worst title I've read from DC's reboot. To start off, there was an amazing amount of pseudo-scientific babble on every page.So that he can administer an atomic shock to my entire molecular system. He's literally tearing apart the covalent and ionic bonds which hold

This was a mixed bag for me. The art stays consistently decent throughout this collection (ignoring the somewhat goofy choice of costumes and features for most villains) and you get a few different story lines for the various villains Mr. Terrific faces, while keeping one major story line going for his corporate personality, but overall it was simply an okay read. I found it interesting that they have kept Karen Starr in the New 52, despite her no longer being the secret identity of Kryptonian p...

Great character, HORRIBLE story. This should be entitled "When A BIG Pile of Dan Didio Happens To Good Superheroes". Lousy writing, and artwork that looks like somebody fed a third grader eight tabs of LSD. To make things worse, even the plot is so disjointed that you'd need to be Plastic Man to follow it. Don't give it a miss. Blast it with a bazooka and put it out of ALL of our misery.

I like Mr. Terrific. Here's a reboot of a 40's character that's actually better than the original. He's long been central to the various JSA titles from the last few years and it's great to see him finally get a solo title.It's got all the right elements. The writing it pretty decent. You get several complete science fiction stories in one volume. Mr. Terrific comes across as a mix between Batman and Doctor Who. Unfortunately, it just doesn't all come together, but it's a decent first try. I thi...

Better than some of the other infamous New52 books, but the lack of a character arc and the constant technobabble make this a pretty boring book. The character has potential, but if Mister Terrific is always like this, I see why he’s always in a team setting. He really needs someone else to talk to or react to all the nonsensical jargon he’s saying.

See Anne's awesome review.

An enjoyable book with a character I was not overly familiar with. Holt is a genius who sees everything as a science problem. The story is fun with varied villians and a nice space opera. It has potential, shame it was cancelled.

I suppose when you give a character with a name like that his own solo series, you're rather hoping to cue the reviewers. Given this was one of the first cancellations of DC's New 52 reboot, I'm clearly not the only person who failed to take that bait. It probably didn't help that the first issue cliffhanger sees the hero mind-controlled into evil - yeah, that sort of thing happens to most superheroes sooner or later, but if you're trying to establish a second-stringer as a big deal, don't do it...

I continue working through the comic collections from DC's New 52 initiative. While there have been some great titles, with interesting stories and gorgeous artwork, there are also a few series that have you thinking--meh. "Mister Terrific" is probably one of the latter. The artwork is pretty enough, but the story didn't do much for me. In my mind, given the large number of established characters in the DC universe, there ought to be a pretty high bar for introducing a new character. DC fans wil...

Another misstep in DC's "New 52" re-launch. The previous version of Mr. Terrific worked well in the modern era JSA, as a smart and interesting supporting figure. And he had a cool look with the dark T masking his features and the leather jacket. The new Mr. Terrific looks dumb, with the red and blue T mask (that's not really even a T) and the "fair" and "play" tattoos on his arms. The writing on this book is consistent, it's just not good. Mr. Terrific's adventures with outer space, inter-dimens...

This must have been a hard book to write. It focuses so much on trying to be intelligent, but although it pulls out a lot of science, it makes Mister Terrific into an idiot when it comes to anything else (like, say, people). I've always liked Mister Terrific as a character, but he really can't hold a whole book on his own like this. The characterization isn't steady - and the titling of 'third most intelligent man on the planet' is a little obnoxious. Additionally, there's a lot of heavy handed

I had only recently discovered this character and was interested to learn more about him. I tried, but couldn't get into all his science mumbo-jumbo, perhaps a more educated man could, but it seemed to come down to alot of "I will save the day by Reversing the polarity of this Samoflange and creating a gravity well that will stop this nuclear bomb by freezing its Farnaxian nanobyte core."

I really enjoyed reading this. It was interesting, well written and had great art. Mister Terrific was interesting because he mainly used his intellect to try to stop the villians but that did not mean he didn't throw a punch when necessary. He is a superhero after all. Too bad this was cancelled. I thought it was pretty good.

It kept my attention during the whole run, but I'm not sorry it ended. It's worth reading mostly for the way it ties into the new 52 mythology

The art in this collection can sometimes look a little weird. But the rest of the creative decisions? In a word: terrific.Mister Terrific, Michael Holt, debuted as a member of the Justice Society, the updated one from the early millennium, not the original. He was part of an upgrade to the team as suggested by James Robinson’s much-hailed Starman. But aside from a cool look and some relevant 21st century technological abilities, this was a superhero saddled to a team and a name that didn’t sound...

Reprints Mister Terrific #1-8 (November 2011-June 2012). Michael Holt is one of the smartest men in the world. The owner of Holt Industries is creating revolutionary technology to change how people live but he’s also living a double life as the adventurer Mister Terrific. As Mister Terrific, Michael is battling superhumans, traveling dimensions, and evading government agents. Michael’s greatest threats could come from the people he knows however. Written by Eric Wallace, Mister Terrific 1: Mind

I really wanted to like this. It just fell so short of my expectations.Why? I've read TPBs where Michael Holt, the world's third smartest man and former Olympic champion was a supporting character. What was highlighted in those tales was that Holt is usually the smartest person in the room. In Mind Games, frankly Holt comes off no smarter than say Bruce Wayne. That's smart, but not T'Challa (as written by Christopher Priest) or Reed Richards smart. Even Holt is appalled that he resorts to sheer
