Aug 30, 2021 |
Batman: Reptilian is a mix of style and substance, creating one of the best stories I've seen come out of DC since A Serious House On Serious Earth. |

A Man Among Ye #6 |
Aug 11, 2021 |
The writing has wit, the art is astounding, but the book is too short. American comics often have this problem of releasing in twenty-page snippets as where a volume of manga gets you a hefty hundred or so pages. Very few floppies contain a satisfying self-contained narrative, and A Man Among Ye #6 is no exception; what's here is promising, but waiting for the collected volume with more high seas goodness might be the way to go here. |

Flash (2016) #770 |
May 25, 2021 |
The Flash is one of those characters whose power-set is just built to explore the time travel trope and the comic concept of the multiverse. Here it's put to great effect. This story with many complex concepts and moving parts are presented as this stunningly simple adventure; that can be enjoyed stand-alone or as part of the greater whole. |

The Witcher: Witch's Lament #4 |
Sep 3, 2021 |
Overall the book ends on a chilling note and still feels very on point with the writing and tone. I feel this more stylized art can work for static scenes, but it leaves a lot to be desired during the action. |

Godzilla: Skate or Die! (2024) #2 |
Aug 5, 2024 |
The plot itself, while there, is paper thin, much like the floppy it's printed in. Once again, the biweekly floppy is the kryptonite of pacing and story structure, making diving in at random points unfriendly to newer readers who are drawn in by the otherwise wonderful and ambitious crossover work on display here echoed throughout the pages and various variant covers. |

James Bond: Agent of Spectre #3 |
May 5, 2021 |
The short but emotional journey James Bond: Agent of Spectre #3 takes you on is a nice piece of the puzzle of the larger mystery to come. Writer Christos Gage's script was my favourite part of his story pulling this entry together into an entraining package. |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (2019) #28 |
Aug 5, 2021 |
It's at this point my brain checked out of the story wishing they'd return focus to Faith and her decision presented to her by the vampire god on the verge of conquering reality. While there's a small action scene where Faith rejoins the main cast, I'm still confused about what's going on with these multiverse shenanigans. |

Feb 28, 2023 |
It's a pretty looking issue with a fun concept, but it's wasted being quickly walked back, only serving to give Carnage a power boost and tie into the next part of the narrative; overall, it's a weak story that is well written but not given enough time for its ideas to breath. |

Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2018) Annual #1 |
Aug 24, 2021 |
Miles Morales Spider-Man Annual #1 (Infinite Destinies) is what I'd call a very run of the mill comic book story. There's a bad guy, a backstory, and at some point, the heroes punch the villain to save the day. That's sadly all this book is, as the majority of what you get in these thirty-five pages is awkward at best and inoffensive at least. |

To this book's credit, the art is really nice, lovely even the artist on this should be very proud of their work; it's the only thing remotely worthwhile in this title. I would seldom suggest destroying a comic book, but cutting this comic up to use as a poster seems like a better use of its great art than carrying the lousy narrative. |
