A collation of my status updates: (Read as single issues)*Very mild spoilers, read at your own discretion* Initial thoughts: - After the cliffhanger ending of vol. 2 I’m so ready to start this!!👊🏻⚔️ Thoughts after reading issue #12: - Marcus is always so up in his feels! He’s more attuned to his feelings than I am, I swear. - Maria is dumb, kissing Marcus then saying she doesn’t need anyone. - Man, I really thought that escape would work. - The showdown and that ENDING😱 Thoughts after read...

BR with my fabulous Deadly Class partner in crime, Kat (click to read her review)If I thought that the previous volumes were fucked-up, SURPRISE! INSANITY OVERLOAD.Let me tell you something first : Marcus is losing it. There's no denying it, my favorite assassin in training is going down and fucking up pretty much everything : girls drama (AGGHHHH), mushrooms overdose, paranoia is eating at him (also, herpes ← the day you're fantasying about an herpes family, please be worried). Where does it le...

Very mediocre teen drama shit right until near the end, but not enough to make it not mediocre...lol

"Pain...it made me weak in a world where you can't be. A human among monsters. Humans can't live among monsters. The monsters eat them. Always. So be a monster." This volume started off with Issue #12 and it's probably the only issue that I liked here. In the previous volumes, I actually loved how messy it all came to be but at this rate, I realized that THIS REALLY IS THE PLOT. Because in all honesty, I've been searching for it these past volumes thinking that all these other messes

Bullet Review:Questions that run through my head as I read this:How many times per panel can our protagonist whine about something?Will there ever be a female character that DOESN'T have sex with Whiny Emo Idiot Boy?Why does this series compile it's volumes so the opening issue is FANTASTIC (compared to the previous Emo-whiny drug-induced blandness of the series), the closing panels are decent, and the ENTIRE REST OF THE VOLUME is our protagonist whining, getting high, whining, having sex, whini...

This was slightly better then the last volume. Not really a fan of the story anymore. Turning ito a teen romance drama more then about assassins. I hope that changes. The art is what is keeping me from leaving the series though.

3.5 stars. A lot finally happens in this volume. Major characters being killed off and the main character getting hit on all sides. Edge of the seat stuff. Look forward to the finalé

Didn't enjoy this one as much as the other 2 volumes but the last issue Atleast makes me wanna carry on! The mc is lowkey starting to annoy me though...

4.5*Im loving this again. Its become more about plot again after Vol 2. The characterisation is becoming more fleshed out both for the kids and some adults. The childish humour and scenes werent present. My only concern is Marcus consistently whining. There seems to be too much. I know hes a teenager going through that developmental stage but at times it does become too much. Remender is still one of my fave writers.

I think Deadly Class loses its way in this disappointing volume. Main character Marcus here is a weak, cowardly fuckup of monumental proportions. He rats out his best friend’s big secret out of spite, he humiliates his roommate to make the popular kids laugh, he whines endlessly, gets herpes, gets pregnant, and loses every last one of his friends. Which would be fine if that were the character, but Marcus was recruited for Assassin School because he was resourceful, determined, brave as hell and...

I own this book. Okay so the plot really goes from 0 to 100 in this book. I liked this volume because we see Marcus absolutely lose his mind, he spirals into drugs, sex, paranoia, self destruction all while dealing with the relationship drama and getting a part time job. He cheats on Maria, but then Marcus and Maria have to quickly get over their breakup (follow Marcus being an idiot) to defeat the cartel that is now after them following them killing Maria's ex boyfriend in the first book. The

“My dad had a framed picture of a surfer on a giant wave in his den. The wave always looked so huge. My Papa told me that was life. This giant thing trying to get you that you had to find pleasure in riding.” Marcus is deranged and I love it. Seriously, he's so emo now I'm obsessed.Crazy fun and the ending got me shakiiiing , so excited to start on the next volume.

How do I even begin to explain my love for this comic series...oh that's right, I already have on multiple occasions. For those of you who don't know, Deadly Class is my all time favourite comic series by my all time favourite comic book writer, Rick Remender, and also published by my all time favourite comic book publisher, Image Comics.Deadly Class is one of the darkest comic series I have ever read. Not only does it deal with a school full of teenaged assasins, but it deals with heavy materia...

3.5 starsMaria is probably the coolest character here. Marcus is annoying and depressing. I wish all the sidebar philosophizing would stop. The story is too teenage drama that I can't take it too serious when it tries to get deep.

Holy shit. Deadly Class is the best "teenagers with a license to kill" drama ever.It starts right where we're left our gang last time: Fuckface's headquarter is blown up and Marcus and Maria just run into Chico's benevolent father who goes by the lovely name of "El Alma del Diablo"...while carrying Chico's head with them. What follows is one major chasing scene (reminiscent to issue #1) and a great example of redeeming the previously fucked up character. I liked Maria when we met her- she is a s...

The Snake Pit picks up where the last scene from Kids of the Black Hole ended: Marcus and co. have successfully raided Fuckface’s stronghold but are faced with a new threat: Mexican gangsters – the same evil muthas who killed Maria’s family! Things go from bad to worse as one of Marcus’ friends is killed and, as a result of the raid, another is taken out too in King’s Dominion no less! The guilt, along with an increasingly messed up love life, sends Marcus into a tailspin of depression and paran...

I finished volumes 3 and 4. I thought they were pretty great. The art is superb, compositions are fantastic and the coloring, wow, it is perfection imo! If you are going to read this series you have to suspend belief and also know you are in for a hell of a whiny emo boy main character. He's quite self-involved and narcissistic which tires but not enough to get me to quit (this shouldn't read as a challenge to the writers). The story, as ridiculous as it is, just works as a vehicle for mayhem an...

Remender comes back strong in the writing with vol. 3. Maria's ghosts come back to haunt her after they discover the news of Chico. Its some great story telling and art, lots of action and excitement. Meanwhile Marco is spiraling out of control on drugs, unable to cope with his emotions about Maria and Saya he turns to Petra for rebound. The writing is much better after not caring about Marco in vol.2, Remender nails the teenage emotions and outbursts perfectly. Willie now has feelings for Saya

Fuuuuuuuuck! NOOOOOO!!!! This series really has no problem killing major characters. So this picks up right where volume 2 ends. Some intense gun showdown. Death of a major character, big fight scenes, then half way through the volume another major death. One that actually made me sad. Made me want to destroy some mofos. I was so freaking sad, cause loved this character. Then we slow down a bit. Interesting downward spiral of our hero. Some scenes weren't needed but the last 10-12 pages are so f...
