3.5 stars. I don't know if I was just in a mood or what but I couldn't really follow the plot of what was going on in this book. I won't detract from it because I still don't entirely understand Midnighter's powers. That's my fault for being a noob but I'm still not entirely clear on them having read this book. But I'm not entirely sure as to what his goal was and if the antagonist in issue 7 had been building to a conclusion or it was just a couple issues and I missed the signs? I am unsure. Th...

rep: gay mcI LOVE MY GAY MURDER DAD(i also love seeing all those 1 star reviews from comics dudebros who, i can only assume, are outraged by the shamelessly gay character lmao)

This "DCYou" title stars Midnighter, a former member of Stormwatch and lately seen mixing it up with Dick Grayon over in his title. Someone has stole some artifacts from the God Garden, including Midnighter's secret origin. Along the way, now that he's no longer with former beau Apollo, Midnighter also has to navigate his way through his new life as a single man. As expected from a book about a fighter, Midnighter is pretty violent and bloody. It works here because we get a glimpse of Midnghter

This book was so awesome! It was great to see a character pushing the boundaries of expectations in terms of being a protagonist in a superhero solo series. Midnighter is a super fun character, and he's a badass! He reminded me of a mix between Batman and Deadpool, with Wolverine's past (or lack of). The art in this book is stunning, but I did find it hard to follow at times, especially the action scenes. The Midnighter/Grayson team up issues were my favorite, and the twist with the antagonist d...

Superhero team comics have never been my thing. I’ve enjoyed the occasional X-Men adventure but I don’t think I’ve ever read a great Avengers or Justice League book. Somehow though, I loved The Authority. Maybe because they were subversive - two of its core members, Midnighter and Apollo, are meant to be Batman and Superman, but gay married - though it’s probably because my favourite comics writers and artists worked on the title. Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch created the series, Mark Millar (bac...

I've been meaning to read this comic for so long! I read the first few volumes of the New 52 Stormwatch which is where I met Midnighter for the first time (I only started reading comics about 5 years ago). The third volume was not the greatest, so I skipped the last volume and jumped into Midnighter's solo run. I liked that Midnighter was so openly out (gay) and about with the characters he interacts with. It was interesting to see him try so hard to get over Apollo, and it was especially cool t...

Breaking some genre tropes with psycho (and well-drawn!) fists!Fun.

3.5⭐️ bumped up to 4 because I adore the Midnighter/Grayson banter

I'm here for Midnighter's adventures in dating and him and Dick Grayson fighting a werewolf while handcuffed together, but the main story here is frankly a bit confusing.

This book starts out awful. Steve Orlando tries so hard to write the snappiest, hippest dialogue he can and fails miserably. Midnighter just rattles off nonstop snark as if he's a British Spider-man, which doesn't fit his character at all. It gets better once Grayson gets pulled into the book and Midnighter has a foil to play off of. I have to say I was truly surprised by the twist at the end of the book and it works quite well. Romulo Fajardo coloring ruins this book for me. It's such a garish

My knowledge of midnighter is kinda limited i know of him and the general gist of the guy but i hadn't read any midnighter prior to this. So picking this up doesn't really tell you anything about the guy, the plot was weird i'm pretty sure even the most avid midnighter fan couldn't explain that plot or what little plot it had, it was all over the place. The best it got was when grayson showed up to help the plot seemed more together but then he goes and it quickly goes back to what the heck is g...

It's not often you see morally grey queer characters, so Midnighter's characterization certainly scratches an itch I've had for a while. However... I wish there was more to who he is, and that he had more to do. The character is still fairly new in my mind but I can see his whole thing getting pretty old if he isn't in the hands of talented writers. @DC how about you stop using him exclusively for queerbaiting every pride month and actually develop the guy? There's a lot of potential here!

Very happy to see a gay super-hero have his own title from DC comics. I'm not overly familiar with the character. I did read the early THE AUTHORITY collected editions but nothing since then. There were components of the story that flew a bit over my head. I don't know anything about the personal lives of the creators of Midnighter but I'm betting they both are straight men. I don't think a gay creator would have unleashed this type of super-hero; a super-violent death-dealer I mean. Maybe. Mayb...

I’ll Burst Your Eyeballs and Punch My Fist Into Your Liver!The last time I came across the Midnighter was more than a decade ago, back when Ellis and Millar were still writing The Authority. I remember being quite fond of the title at the time, so this new volume looked like a great opportunity to catch up and get reintroduced to one of the team’s lead characters. Unfortunately, it did not turn out to be the kind of reintroduction I had been hoping for.Don’t get me wrong, it’s great to have an o...

This just wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. I like the idea that he could see every move you are going to make before you make it so it made his fighting skills better. I also liked some of the graphics. *I would like to thank Netgalley and DC Entertainment for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.*

What confusing writing. Also what a bland character. I found him more interesting in his seven pages in Grayson than here. Here he's all mighty, knows everything, can't lose. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzI can't even recapture details about the story cause I was confused as hell. I didn't know what the hell was happening half the time. And when it settled down it added nothing to the character. His love life felt forced in, when we should have felt some type of connection or drama. To have a badass main char...

It is not a bad book, i like it, but it didnt excite me. I like when i cant stop read a book and with this one I was always wondering how many pages were still left to read. Also, I didnt care that much about the characters. I think Midnighter (the character) its pretty cool tho! And the art was good (for the most part...).Im gonna read vol 2 , its the last one so... Hope it gets better!

Area Man Tries Desperately to Fall in Love Again by Sleeping With as Many Dudes as Possible. He has a Computer Brain. Russia. Besides being cocky, Midnighter had no personality. We get it, you have a computer in your brain and you like to punch things. He’s basically every tough guy superhero we’ve ever seen, with the exception being that he’s gay and a whole lot more sadistic. In juxtaposition with the violence, it only took him a single panel to fall in love, which rather than painting him as

I liked this a lot. At times it was laugh out loud funny, sometimes sweet, plus there's a scene where Midnighter and Dick Grayson fight bad guys wearing nothing but towels wrapped around their waists. 👍

All I knew about this character beforehand was that he was a sort of gay version of Batman. Having read the book, I'd say that was a fairly close description (except for the fact he doesn't have the Bruce Wayne coffers). On the plus side, I liked the art and the fact that Midnighter was out. There weren't any explicit scenes buuuut there were some bare buns here and there. I liked most of his personality as well.On the minus side, the story's somewhat convuluted, or at least it felt like that to...
