This is how I feel. JiM was really great, but ultimately, I think Gillen is a terrible writer. So for YA to be just decent is still a step up for him. |

Not suddenly. His X-Men was almost Austen/Milligan levels of bad. Phonogram sucked, too. JiM is some bizarre abberation. |

That's a shame on the last three, because Hickman and Remender are doing great work right now. Hickman's Avengers is on a whole 'nother level from what we've gotten in the last decade or so. The scope is massive. And Remender has managed something I didn't think was possible... follow Brubaker on Cap with a run that is wildly different, but maybe equally as good (so far) And Fraction's Hawkeye book is sublime. |

I think it's a case of too much of a good thing. Kid Loki in JiM was charming, but trying to do that same thing with a bunch of characters just doesn't work as well. You need a contrast. |

The first issues were ok and Land made me not want to read after that but, I'm loving the current arc. I'd go ahead and say it's the only thing good Gillen has written. |

Uber really is a shit comic from what I've seen. |

He writes good Churchill and Hitler. In the most recent issue of Uber he completely subverts your expectations by showing the first Allied man-made superhuman we've seen created and gotten to know over the last few issues put into battle too soon and brutally mutilated by Battleship Sieglinde, Hitler's more experienced female superhuman, and turned into a twisted mass of flesh who then has to be euthanized by his British trainers (which takes hours and an industrial drill). It's an interesting variation on the Superman theme, where the up-and-coming strong-willed hero just isn't good enough, no matter how much heart he has. |

That sounds really interesting. I might check that out. |
