I really like Midnighter and his relationship with Apollo, despite how bloody and murdery he is. And WOW! Is he murdery here, though that's to be expected when bitches try to murder Apollo. This prooooobably shouldn't be in my teen graphic novel section, but OH WELL.

weak, homophobic comics: bury your gays™midnighter & apollo: THINK AGAIN

I read this as soon as I finished the meh that was Midnighter, Vol. 2: Hard and it turned out to be great.There are high stakes, magic shenanigans, Midnighter kicking and killing, Apollo trying to battle for his own soul, and Midnighter/Apollo moments. There are a handful of naughty moments here and there where they, you know, busy (nothing above a PG-13, imo).TL;DR: A good conclusion to the Midnighter/Apollo saga with a grand adventure and banter that might border the OTT line. I borrowed it fr...

Midnighter&Apollo doesn't really care about all this bury your gays shit a.k.a krwawy retelling mitu o Orfeuszu.

3.5 stars. Story was pretty good but the art really bothered me sometimes... The proportions of the arms in many of the panels, argh! (I was then sucked into a half hour long Google search for “how long are arms supposed to be?” - Maybe the arms are perfectly well proportioned? And it's just me? Are my own arms just too abnormally long? Am I judgemental about short arms? #existentialcrisis)

(A+) Apollo says fuck your Bury Your Gays bullshit.Kind of feels like another Midnighter solo run at first, but Apollo really (literally) shines in the last two issues. Love how casually gay everyone is. Fernando Blanco's art is beautiful and I absolutely adore how Romulo Fajardo colors. Steve Orlando is probably my new favorite comic writer now, I gotta check out his other works.

Writer Steve Orlando picks up in this book from his excellent Midnighter series for the DCYou initiative, and makes this book about the relationship between Midnighter and Apollo. Recently re-united as a couple, they are soon challenged to prove their mutual love by facing against the very incarnation of Hell, Lord Neron.Considering Midnighter is a serious parody of Batman, being even more of a sociopath than Batman, and Apollo, a serious parody of Superman, is even more goody-goody than Superma...

Was inspired to write this review sooner rather than later bc the only review on GR for this series as of this writing is from some white dude who felt the need to leave a review that he's "Uninterested" in this series, lmao.So. MIDNIGHTER & APOLLO, a 6-issue run from Steve Orlando, is pretty much goddamn perfect. The story is well-paced across six issues without feeling too much like a paint-by-numbers fantasy quest. The artwork is gorgeous and there are some seriously stunning and inventive pa...

Steve Orlando - writerFernando Blanco - illustratorA fun, ultra-violent adventure starring everybody's favorite gay Superman and Batman surrogates. The writing by Orlando is solid but falters a bit in the final issue. The art by Blanco is very good, but there is something a little off about the action sequences that detracts from the overall book. All told this is an enjoyable romp that you probably shouldn't think too hard about.3.5/5

When Apollo's soul gets taken away, the bad-ass fighting-machine Midnighter is literally willing to go to hell and fight Death itself to save his lover. This premise could have all too easily gone awry, either by becoming too sappy for the character types, or not heartfelt enough for this age old story. And yet, Orlando brilliantly pulls it off, finding the right way to make a genuine feeling love story that doesn't undermine the cool factor of its heroes. Even though Midnighter receives the mos...

First experience with these characters, and as is typical for me when I wander into a “universe” I felt like I really didn’t know what was going on, or who was who. Nevertheless I persisted. Always felt natural to me that muscular superhero types should fall for each other, so I enjoyed these two guys being described as “lovers” (so old-school). Extra points for giving the men nipples and armpit hair. ❤️

Basically Midnighter vol. 3. Orlando does put Apollo and Midnighter's relationship front and center by splitting them apart. Neron was an odd choice for the villain. There's a reason he's been forgotten about since Underworld Unleashed. He looks like a Mr. Sinister ripoff, not a demon. He's just not very threatening or menacing. Fernando Blanco's art is in lines with DC's house style. I've not a fan of the tiny little panels on top of bigger panels that's popular now. I always have a hard time c...

This was a little bit disappointing as a conclusion to the Midnighter story as part of the DCU.It was a nice character peice, focusing on the relationship between Midnighter and Apollo, but the story itself didn't really grab me.I don't know if it's because it felt weird that it's all happening in the DCU, or if I just didn't really like the take on some of the characters and places.I'd definitely be up for more adventures of Midnighter and Apollo, but as a finale (deliberately or not), it left

Never heard about these guys, but I was sincerely happily surprised.. Good story, interesting characters.. and love the art..Wouldn't mind reading more about M&A..

Maybe not the best book starring Midnighter and Apollo (though partly it may be that while I am familiar with the characters, I am not with this particular reincarnation of the world, one that does not have Angela and Jenny in it ...) but one that made me incredibly happy.

This character and storyline is a breath of fresh air in the midst of cliché storylines. Midnighter is ruthless and it's this storyline that works well, the damsel in distress not so much. I wanted to give this a 5 but seeing as the momentum drags a little in the middle it wasn't consistent. I hope they push this character into cinema because it would pave the way for other studios. Midnighter and Apollo make for a good team both inside and outside if you catch my drift. The violence is in your

gay, and i cannot stress this enough, rights

The author should have been given the number of a therapist, not a comic contract. Unresolved personal issues leak over every page, unnecessary crude language and gore is confused with content and a storyline that could have been wrapped up in one issue (since it was stolen from Greek Mythology) is strung out interminable for the entire volume.

Following on from Orlando's Midnighter run, the loveable killing machine and his solar-powered boyfriend are back together until, wouldn't you know it, some demonic bastards send Apollo to Hell. The 'Kill Your Gays' trope? Nah, more an excuse for Midnighter to take his one rule - "Hit the soft things with your hands. Hit the hard things with utensils" - and go meet the father of all bastards with it. Midnighter punches evil in the face; it's who he is. So where else would his journey take him bu...

[Read as single issues]Midnighter was one of the few things to come out of DCYou that should have lasted longer than it did. Twelve issues was enough to tell a complete story, but you got the feeling that Steve Orlando had a lot more to say on the character, especially his relationship with estranged boyfriend Apollo. Enter this mini-series, in which Orlando puts that relationship front and centre by ripping the two apart and literally dragging them to Hell and back.Midnighter is one of those ch...
