Alan D.D. Comic Reviews

Regardless of the very minor things I dislike, this is one of the best issues I've seen from Valiant so far! 4001 A.D. #4 is an exciting and beautiful experience that shouldn't be missed.

I already know that humor based comics are not my forte, but I must say I'm having a really good time with The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong. I'm comfortable telling everyone to give "A & A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong" a chance, even if you're not a usual reader of the genre. I know you won't regret it!

This sort of book isnot my forte, but this is a really good issue in a seriesthat keeps getting better and better. The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong keeps getting better issue to issue which is something hard to do. If you haven't yet, I really suggest you all give it a chance!

A new arc sees The Adventures of Archer & Armstrong continue its high quality while being a great jumping on point for new readers.

A&A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong is definitely a series that you need to be reading

I'm sure you can guess, but yes, I highly recommend you read A&A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong #12. I feel we're getting closer to the final chapter of this story, which I'm eager to see.

Fast paced, marvelous art, great script and a good developing of the classical Spider-Man we all know and love. Why wouldn't you read it? Even if you don't like Peter Parker's story you should give this a chance and see how you change your opinion.

Batman Rebirth is a fantastic start for a new series that brings some much needed life to a media battered Batman.

Bloodshot USA #1 has real potential

Bloodshot USA #2 is a darn entertaining read that will have you hooked for more

So, to summarize: Bloodshot USA #3 has great plot, great art, with some very little flaws here and there. I think we may have a great conclusion on its way, and it seems like it's going to be worth the wait!

A perfect end to a fantastic arc from Valiant

If you are coming into this one with a good understanding of Bloodshot and the world building that's been going on, then you are going to really dig this one. On the other hand, new readers are going to feel like they are missing something.

I definitely had a good time reading Bloodshot Reborn #15, despite small issues I found with it, so give it a try to and maybe you'll like it if you're into war, military, science fiction or similar topics.

Bloodshot #16 is avery solidand surprising issue that features a stunning script and amazing colors. To put it in short: Bloodshot Reborn #16 is the best issue so far in this seriesand I strongly believe things will geteven better as they develop.

This comic series was a little strange at first sight, even more so if you start reading it as a newbie as I did, but it has been getting better with each issue, and I'm well on my way to considering myself a serious fan of this arc. I really suggest giving this one a try before the next chapter comes out!

Britannia #1 really isthe perfect choice for history geeks! If you are a fan of history, magic, mythology and stunning colors, then Britannia is the right choice for you. The best news of all is that there arethree more issues coming, even if we do have to wait an entire month for the next one. Hopefully Valiant willexpand this series as it's off to a great start.

Britannia #2 Is not your normal comic fare to be sure, but boy does it work!

The only downfall to Britannia #3 is that there is only one more issue left for the series.

Britannia comes to an end firing on all cylinders

A great lead in to Civil War that fleshes out essential backstory

It's damn disrespectful to take this symbol, this emblematic American hero and throw it away his 75 years of story and character development, just because Marvel wants to sell and compete with the DC films that will see the light soon.

Civil War II #0 lays the groundwork for what could be something special.

Iron Man, Black Panther, the Fantastic Four, and now Parker. He was one of the very few humble characters and one that struggled with the same this us regular people did. I know this is supposed to be the typical work-hard-and-you-will-succeed message, but it just doesn't suit him.

Daredevil #8 is one of those comics that makes you wonder what the protagonist is going to do next, what their next move will be. It is not the kind of story I'm used to reading, but it's certainly something worth the money and time. This is a book that you should give a real chance, especially as this new story arc has just begun, so you won't be that lost in context if you only know a little about the character.

I know many of you are going to like this story because of the Deadpool brand. The booksreliesmore on smaller, funny moments than on a solid overall plot. It's still an enjoyable read and promises better ones down the line, even if, as me, you're not acquainted with the main character as the rest of the world seems to be. I haven't yet seen the movie, I know, shame on me, but I'm living in South America and i'll get to it eventually.

Deadpool #11 offers up some light reading. Like last issue it moves really fast (maybe faster than i'd like) but the story never really goes anywhere. Let's just hope things pick up soon or I may be dropping this one from my reading list.

In short, Deadpool: Last Days of Magic #1 is some good reading filled with great art, well worked overall story, but has some small holes in the script.

I think this is for people interested in more adult-like topics, fans of the Preacher could dig this, and readers that are looking for a story more graphic and with strong themes should enjoy it.

Divinity III: Stalinverse #2 may be far from being the perfect comic book, but is does not present many cons, as far as I can see. It's just a matter of really polishing some details here and there in order to have something really special, which I'm sure will happenif things keep going this way.

Did I like it? Sure! Am I anxious about the fourth and final issue? Oh, heck yes! Do I want more of this story? Why not? Divinity III isn't really my kind of read, and not the world I'm used to travel into, but it's a very entertaining proposal with lots of potential.Valiant keeps putting out solid titles and I'm looking forward to what's next.

This comic is already on its way to becoming a very valuable one that can I can already see leading to some interesting ends. Motivational stories about faith and the likemay not be the kind of reading material for everyone, but Valiant has made sure that this one is,no matter their faith or background.

Despite being entertaining, this new chapter was a bit little confusing for a number of reasons, mostly on the story, but I'm sure the people working on it will make sure that everything makes sense sooner than expected. Valiant has already surprised me before, and this series could be one of those times. Let's keep an eye on it just in case something really great develops.

This is a full-octane ride from begining to end on all fronts

I highly recommend people pick this one up and keep an eye on this series. It had a great start, good development and it's going down the right track.

Doctor Strange: Last Days of Magic is simply excellent from beginning to end.

In short, the comic is a very good, light, and enjoyable read. With Faith #3, this seriesis on its right track and should be on your must-read list.

Faith is one of the most charismatic heroes in all of comics.

Faith continues to forge a new path in modern comics

This may not be the best issue in the series and it might even be considered the weakest when looking back on the series. It doesn't quite have the love we saw given in past issues, or in the script department at least. However, that doesn't necessarily mean we shouldn't keep reading to see what happens next. Valiant has shown they can correct these kind of hicups. And even at its worst Faith is still better than most.

Faith is what comic books are all about.

I can say that on the whole this was one of my favorite issues so far. It's maybe not the best one because of little personal likes and dislikes, but it's enjoyable for those who like humor, action and stories with a good dose of morality thrown in.

Faith, in short, is a good mix of old school and modern social issues. It's not as dramatic as these things tend to be in these cases, but the opposite; It's active, energetic, with a strong protagonist and cool superpowers. I'll be waiting to see in some real fight and what happens next. Faith #2 is a book you should keep your eye on!

Original, creative, and with an interesting main character Generation Zero is a book you need to be reading. I'm definitely reading the next issues and have high expectations for this story.

I said it before and I'll say it again, you need to be reading this comic. Things are on track for an exciting next issue and I'll sit back counting the days until release.

Generation Zero is the best thing going on in comics today

Generation Zero is hands down one of the best comic series of the year, if not one of the best things about all of 2016 period.

I'm eager to see what this comic will be offering us for the next few issues, but if there's something I've learned about Generation Zero, is that is will always surprise. I find it needless to tell you to go buy your copy of Generation Zero #5, but seriously, go buy it right now.

It's great to see that the people at Valiant taking risks with Generation Zero #6, as the natural response is to keep doing the same thing. I'm not surprised, however, because the standard they have set is pretty high-quality. We just keep getting the same great quality storytelling and the same solid art since we got in issue #1. Generation Zero is on track to go down in history as something truly special.

There were some ideas in early issues of this comic series that are begining to develop that you can spotif you have been followingalong which is nice. Despite the fact that there aren't many surprises this time around, Generation Zero #7 isstill a great read and still one of the best comic books in recent memory.

Green Arrow #1 has potential, but most will probably want to wait to see how this develops. This issue is recommended for Green Arrow fans only, people that really know the character's background even though this is a Rebirth" Shit, there's some good material inside for those needed their Aroow fix.

Should we continue reading this or not? Well, that's up to you. If you are a fan then give it a go, but those on the fence may want to wait and maybe go for the trade when this arc finishes. I'm not sure I will (at least, not by my own will kidding), maybe I'll give it chance for another issue to see if things improve since things could still work out. Fingers crossed this one finds its footing.

The concept of the ring and the whole Green Lanterns Corps are not my thing, but I'm pretty sure fans will really enjoy it because I certainly did! So if it can grab a non-fan like me this is great way to start a new series. I'm, looking forward to learning a thing or two with this arc continues, which seems to be prepped to be full of surprises.

If you like different stories with unique proposals, as well as something that can, and probably will make you feel a little uncomfortable while reading, then Harbinger Renegade #1 is the right choice for you. It's not perfect, but I really want to see how this continues.

Was the wait worth it? Yes, definitely. It could have been a better book, sure, but this one did a darn fine job with some nice details and a pretty interesting story.Harbinger Renegade is still in its early stages, but there is enough here to keep you coming back for more.

Maybe Harbinger Renegade #4 is not what I was waiting/looking for, and I may have some issues with it, but the book is still a very enjoyable read and a solid chapter in a great overall arc. I can't wait for July, when the next issue comes out, andluckily it seems we'll get what we/I want when it hits. Let's cross our fingers!

Jade Street Protection Services #1 is an exciting start to a promising series.

I couldn't stop reading for a single moment, and we're speaking about a single issue of a limited series, so we can get an idea of the quality level for the rest. Great, cool, amazing, and all the adjectives I'm not able to think of right now easily describe this book.

In summation: Moon Knight #1 has a great art style, great cover, promising plot, and a real sense of originality. This new Moon Knight really deserves a chance, so pick it up as you won't be disappointed!

There also some good ideas and concepts I saw that were drawn from ancient mythology along with classic and contemporary comic ideas. I can't say if I'd keep reading this, but since it's a unique concept and story, I would like to see how this evolves.

In summation Ninjak #18 may not the best issue ever of the series, but it was solid all around. I'm definitely excited to see where things go from here as I have a feeling there are good things on the horizon from the people responsible of this.

So, to summarize: Ninjak #19 has one of the best scripts of the series, even if light on action,aswell as a couple of great illustrations throughout. It's not perfect, but it does enough right that fans of the series are going to love it!

Ninjak #20 could be considereda kind of weak issue, but there's still tons of cool material, characters, plot lines and mystery to work with

Ninjak #22 is about as perfect as a comic gets

In the end, we know nothing is perfect, but you can say that Ninjak #23 is pretty is about as good as it gets on aquality level in both art and story. The script was simpler this time, which was the right choice, and despite the minor issues on the art, I'm sure you'llhave a blast reading this one.

In the end, despite some very, very minor problems Ninjak #24is a great issue that will leave you wanting for more! The mix between new elements and traditional style in this comic is what makes it attractive and so captivating. Ninjak #24 may not be my kind of read when I'm out picking up comics, but" man, I really enjoyed this!

I find the concept with Rai one that is very original and an interesting idea I'm excited to see evolve and develop. I'll be waiting for the next issue with great anticipation! I'm going to keep an eye on this one and read try and track down the previous issues. Pick this one up as you won't regret it.

I'm not going to say that Rai #16 disappointed me, but this issue was a little weak in comparison to the others, both in story and art, although I must admit both were good in general terms. The ending is promising as it sets the ground for something better and so I will be waiting just for that.

If experimental material and new, fresh story froma different point of view is what you're looking for, then make sure to read Savage #2. It took me longer than expected to get to it, but it was worth it in the end.

Savage #3 is an intense and rewarding experience

Valiant brings to a close the main arc to one of their most interesting new books

It's an inconsistent start for Superman, but it's strong enough to recommend you stick it through to see how it all develops.

Fast paced, original, different, with a weird, bizarre and attractive style that I'm still trying to understand AND figure out.I'll be on the look out for futureissues because this one really intriguedme with how all this mess started. If Internet doesn't lie, it'll happen on May 4th; look at the eighth issue's cover and tell me it doesn't give you goosebumps. Vertigo, you rock!

Needless to say I still have high expectations for the next issue!

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #6 is a very funny and enjoyable read from beginning to end! It's a book that's very different from many of the superheroeswe constantly see in the media, and has s likable main characterwith a very nice group around her. Kids will love this type of family friendly hero, while adults will enjoy the humor the book has on offer.

I'm going to still keep reading a couple of issues in this series as the lastone left me very enthusiastic, and there's still a part of my mind telling me "it's just a bad issue, no big deal."

There isa lack of balance between text and art, and I consider this is a risky option if you don't already like a number of the currentcomics from Valiant. But if you are a fan, thenValiant Universe Handbook 2016 Edition #1 is right up your ally and will fill you in on all the goings on in the universe. It's best for serious fans only, but those interested in the expanding Valiant books might also enjoy it, especially if you like lots of background.

Mature, interesting, a must for real fans, but perhaps not the best worked issue for newcomers. I'd summarize Vision #7 as a basic teen story portrayed in an adult way. It's worth keeping an eye on this one to see what happens next.

That said, both script, lettering and the art style suit the story overall. It wasn't the best one ever and has some little mistakes here and there, but it's still enjoyable. Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #10 might be more for serious fans of the series than newbies, but its a solid book all around.

Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #12 weaves a fantastic story that's backed by some really solid art.

Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #13 is one heck of a good time

Hands down in the upper echelon of comic book series

Maybe this issue didn't have the best start, but it certainly had a great end and solid promise for the following issues. As I said, sci-fi is not my thing and I really can't relate to that genre, but this comic has an underlying fantasy theme that makes it easier to read and draws in new readers..

Having to point to one small gripI would have liked it even more if the romance here were a little more well developed. It works alright, but I had to find something to nitpick as no book/project is ever truly perfect. X-O Manowar #49 it's definitely one of the best issues I've red so far and I'm eager to see what Valiant will bring with the next issue. They have set a high bar and there will be high expectations going into it.

There are a few small problems thatI can't quite overlook in this massive issue, but it wasoverall still anamazing readand great way to end. I hope this is not the last time we see X-O Manowar as another mustrise as the new savior and king of worlds!

I'd like everyone to keep an eye on Valiant and especially X-O Manowar so you won't miss this promising story! If you like adult-oriented, wild fantasy stories with Sci-Fi elements, then X-O Manowar #1 (2017) is the right comic book for you!
