'68: Homefront #4

Dec 3, 2014

While many representations lean toward a more stumbling, dead style of Zombie, here we can see a true hunger for flesh captured in the artwork. They are relentless. More in control then their human counterparts. And horrifically captivating.

Action Comics (2016) #965

Oct 21, 2016

The whole package is readable and raises questions that are the foundation for a good story but it's less than thrilling and that's a shame because this is the best Lois has been since the relaunch.

Adventure Time: Season 11 #5

Feb 18, 2019

If you're a person who has a child that is getting into comics or enjoys family story time then I highly suggest this title for this purpose. Especially since it's quality content that I give a 4 out of five stars, not only for its wonderfully written and illustrated self, but because it lends us a mouthpiece to speak to our youth about important issues without being overly pushy.

Atomic Robo #3

Oct 21, 2016

I really tried to like this, I thought it would be good, but scenes shift so fast I could sue IDW for whiplash, characters do some incredibly stupid shit that made me wonder if the writer has trouble tying his shoes and the whole thing is depressingly disappointing.

Captain America: Steve Rogers #1

May 28, 2016

Comedy is Spencer's strong suit and he has fun reminding us of old, best forgotten storylines and his characters are in on the joke, which makes it more amusing. Jesus Saiz' art pops off the page in his strongest effort to date. Cap moves fluidly through the action sequences and Zemo looks particularly menacing with a new hood looking more like his father's.

Charmed: Season 10 #1

Oct 2, 2014

Long and short, if you're a fan of the show, the comic book surely won't disappoint! Great action, growing story, same sarcasm!

Deadpool: Assassin #4

Jul 27, 2018

Some readers might be upset with Deadpool's ultimate goal as to why he's taking on so many missions, but hey, that's life and Cullen Bunn knows how to evoke emotion in the hearts of comic book readers.

Detective Comics (2016) Annual #2

Jun 4, 2019

The surprises keep coming. Batman is right in guessing that this issues villain (no spoilers) isn't the classic incarnation of the character, but he isn't ready for the truth as he guesses wrong as to who the villain actually is. A great page turner that deserves our undivided attention. The action heats up and this issue concludes with an adrenaline pumping bang!

Doctor Fate (2015) #17

Nov 2, 2016

It might not be fair to compare this to Doctor Strange, but this could have been the ideal antithesis of that comic. Strange is all about the experienced sorcerer supreme this could have been the noob facing all the wonders of magic, instead it just feels like a slightly selfish little whiner who doesn't really want the job.

Dutch (2023) #1

Feb 15, 2024

This is a story of an aging hero who embarks on a final mission long after their prime, the book manages to make Dutch a likable main character, which is a credit to its merit. Dutch doesn't criticize the current state of affairs or idolize past generations with a misguided rant about America losing its way. Overall, the opening issue may not be groundbreaking, but it effectively executes familiar storytelling elements.

Elephantmen #72

Aug 12, 2016

The bits that aren't tripping balls are beautiful and take me some way into the atmosphere of my all time favourite film Bladerunner. The characters haunt the pages and I really wanted to follow them home to see what they would do next.

Flash: Rebirth (2016) #1

Jun 10, 2016

It stood on its on next to the TV series, but had enough for a new reader to recognize the basic back story, the cosmic bits will lose people a bit but the as a one shot it did its job better than some others I won't mention *cough* SUPERMAN*cough*.

Go West #1

Nov 23, 2016

The theme of the old west is captured perfectly. The art really compliments the story and vice versa. These guys make a great team and based on the dialogue and theme I believe there is quite a tale that is being spun that I hope will be ongoing!

Hawkeye (2016) #5

Apr 11, 2017

You may argue I'm biased, but I would counter that with there's a reason I'm biased, the comic is good. You may argue that I'm an “SJW” and only like it because it pander to my liberal sensibilities, but that's not true, it's just a good comic.

Paranoid Gardens (2024) #2

Aug 22, 2024

The art enhances the story. It combines eclectic elements, exploiting vibrant hues and dynamic strokes. The world resolves into a stunning visual landscape and profound themes. As the story progresses, readers will find more twists. They will also see deeper explorations of memory, identity, and the unknown

Rainbow Brite #1

Oct 5, 2018

This wonderful comic is perfect for all ages and is in a similar vein as Captain Underpants. It is bright, engaging and leaves you wanting to know more about what is going on. I think that this is going to be a big hit with younger readers and reminiscer's like me alike. Rated: 4.5 out of 5!

Spawn #1

Jan 23, 2023

Spawn #1 is a fantastic first issue that brilliantly displays Todd McFarlane's abilities as both a writer and an artist. With a dark, gritty mood, a well-written, complicated main character, and magnificent graphics, it establishes the tone for the entire series. The first issue of Spawn is a must-read if you enjoy comic books with serious themes. It is a timeless comic book and required reading for any comic book aficionado.

Squadron Supreme (2015) #11

Sep 13, 2016

It's got an intriguing ending but on the whole if you like the SS you could do worse than this.

The Mice Templar IV: Legend #14

Oct 16, 2014

All in all, I am impressed at The Mice Templar. It's a unique idea in an industry cluttered with mediocre art and sub-par writing.

Warframe #2

Nov 29, 2017

Warframe is a very beautiful game and any other media based on its image has big boots to fill. Studio Hive is responsible for all the artwork, and though I feel like the illustrations needed more contrast and pop, it works out alright in the end. It's good, not great, but good.
