Aquaman (2016) #11

Nov 17, 2016

Aquaman is one of those heroes everyone likes to joke about instead of giving him the proper respect he deserves. This new run has helped to showcase what he is as a hero and as a character. If more people were willing to give this story arc a read it may just help change the publics perspective on who Aquaman is as a character. Especially if the Deluge storyline is as good as this prequel is showing it to be.

Brutal Nature #1

May 17, 2016

This new series helps to showcase an interesting story in a distinct period in history. Saracino and Olivetti truly are a winning combination and have created a book many need to check out. Fans of incredible artwork and violent storytelling will definitely want to make sure to give this book a read.

Brutal Nature #2

Jun 7, 2016

The series is still engaging but the lack of any real action scenes really hinders this second issue especially with the fact it's part of a miniseries and halfway of the story has been told. Still, the art is engaging and the series is shaping up to be one of the best Graphic Novels which will be produced this year once all the individual issues are collected.

Brutal Nature #3

Jul 5, 2016

The series has been at an intense level of quality so far. Both of these creators just have to stick the landing and give the people a satisfying ending to truly make this series a masterpiece. Will Ich be able to stop the Spaniards without giving in and losing himself in the process? Or is he destined to become a beast who only craves blood?

Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #1

Jul 27, 2016

With multiple comics featuring Green Lanterns being published by DC it's important to have each have a specific focus. This issue launches by showing how its main attention will be on the cosmic side of the universe and showing how the Hal and his friends have a lot of work ahead of them. They will have to get their home back and become the rightful peacekeepers of the universe once more. It sounds like a fantastic journey and fans are going to love it.

Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #8

Nov 9, 2016

This is just what the doctor ordered. A great issue about two factions coming together to stop a powerful force they wouldnt be able to take down alone. A great analogy for two sides which may not see eye to eye but can become united under the idea of moving forward and working together for a better tomorrow. A lot of people could learn a lesson from the message in this issue and it may help to give everyone the ray of hope which is desperately needed right now.

Hal is going to have to form a team which will be able to fight Sinestro who is control of a planet. As long as the level of quality is kept at this level, the team will definitely have success in the future.

Future Quest #1

May 17, 2016

When this series was announced it looked to be one of the better of the new line of books based on classic Hanna-Barbera characters and if done successfully would help to reintroduce a lot of characters to a new group of comic book fans. Luckily it appears as if they have succeeded. Congratulations to Mr. Parker, Mr. Shaner, and the late Mr. Cooke for creating an action series which will appeal not only to fans of old cartoons but will bring in others who will be able to appreciate the greatness of some of these long forgotten animated heroes.

The use of clams as cell phones is a particular nice touch. Also, the final page wouldnt be nearly as powerful if the art wasnt so finely detailed.

Though the style is similar to what he has done before, the characters designs are new for this project and do not look like any of the other characters he has introduced in the past. It goes to show Zahler still has as few tricks up his sleeve as a creator.

The Titans are mostly made up of heroes who were sidekicks and have spent their adult lives understanding what its like to live in their predecessor's shadow. After the brief misunderstanding fight which would happen and the Titans could have passed on sage like wisdom about what it's like to grow up after spending their teenage years in battle.

This story has finally become a bit of essential reading. It took a few issues to build it up but from here the story has become a miniserie fans will be eagerly waiting for the release of the next issue.

Back to the Future: Citizen Brown #4

Aug 25, 2016

The story is coming together, but the more of this series which comes out, the more it feels like it will work better as a full graphic novel. Basically it might be best just to wait for the entire miniseries to be collected before finally taking the time to read this book. Only hardcore fans of Back to the Future should consider picking this up issue by issue.

Wacky Raceland #2

Jul 14, 2016

The attempt to flush out Dick Dastardly as a character is the best part of this issue. With any hope future issues will showcase just as much interesting origin stories behind the characters in the grittier, and violent world they live in and what makes them tick. It's good to know its going to be more than simply "You get into Utopia" as what is motivating everyone to race.

Wacky Raceland #4

Sep 29, 2016

Wacky Raceland has been an interesting read in previous issues, but this is the first one to come along which isn't at least above average. It leaves the reader to questions how long the formula of “race with a flashback mixed in” will continue. Somehow it feels liked the first major story arc may be needed instead.

Wacky Raceland #5

Oct 20, 2016

There doesnt seem to be any mention of issue seven anywhere on DCs website. Hopefully they just havent taken the time to update it as of yet and the series hasnt been cancelled. With all thathas been set up in this issue, issue six will show if this series will be worth checking out, or if it will crash and burn off the track.

Strawberry Shortcake #1

Apr 26, 2016

It's not bad but it just seems like they can do so much more especially with the Pieman. Is he going to be plotting a scheme every issue he's in to boost his viewership on Yootoobz? Let's hope not. Hopefully the team will take a page from the My Little Pony comics (which most of the crew has already worked on) and do some things the TV ser

Strawberry Shortcake #2

May 17, 2016

The team has found a pretty good mix of comedy and visuals which will definitely be appealing to fans of the series but also offers something for those who enjoy humor in their comics. This series will probably become a must read for younger audiences but there are jokes older fans will enjoy as well. Though its first issue wasnt a must read, the second issue is able to stick the landing with the two part story. From here fans will actually find themselves being able to enjoy the storylines and will look forward to more issues to come.

Strawberry Shortcake #3

Jun 14, 2016

This book is starting to show a level of consistency which makes it worth noticing for a distinct demographic. Once the first trade comes out it will be a great book book to give to young readers to see if comics will help them to improve their reading skill. For now, try picking up an issue and giving it to a younger reader who you think would enjoy the wonders of reading comic books.

Strawberry Shortcake #4

Aug 3, 2016

Though some may brush off the title as being too childish, it is still very important to look at how appropriate and valuable series is to younger readers. This book continues to be a great starter series for people hoping to get children into comic books.

Green Lanterns #3

Jul 20, 2016

This series is all about Simon and Jessica trying to be the best pair of Green Lanterns they can be. A little more focus on Jessica would be better but showing Simon seemed more appropriate for this issue. It's an entertaining series with a lot of potential to it.

Micronauts Annual: 2017

Jan 25, 2017

Its hard to tell if this is what the series needed or if this is too much of a good thing. The series finally takes the time to expand on the characters by diving into their personal stakes and what happened to lead them to where they are. It just comes a bit too fast though and can be a bit overwhelming. Fans of the series will want to check it out though as it helps to add details to the main story in the regular series.

My Little Pony: Friends Forever #28

May 3, 2016

This is what the series should be about. A simple story which came from the result of a group being paired together which doesnt get as many adventures as they would in the show or the main comic. Fans will enjoy reading this book for the humor and will resonate with fans of Princess Luna or the Cutie Mark Crusaders.

Revolutionaries #1

Jan 17, 2017

This issue feels like a breakneck rollercoaster, but in a very bad way. There still is a lot of potential for exploration of different stories with the combined elements of the Transformers, G.I. Joe, Action Man, and Rom the Space Knight mythologies behind it. Hopefully later issues will help get this series on track but for now it's not the best foot forward in exploring this new world.

Scooby Apocalypse #1

May 24, 2016

So there it is. The most wild and off the wall attempt to reinvent Scooby Doo in a while and it sadly comes off as bland. Maybe in the following issues with the plot established there will be more intrigue but for now there doesn't seem to be much substance here.

Scooby Apocalypse #3

Jul 20, 2016

This series has so much potential but keeps dragging its feet. It's supposed to be directed at an older audience, but it keeps telling a story that needs constant explanation. It's as if the creators aren't sure their readers will be able to understand what is happening. We understand, and frankly we're a bit annoyed that it's taking so long for more to happen.

Scooby Apocalypse #6

Oct 12, 2016

This issue showcases that the series is just getting started with its story, and those who dropped off too soon will regret not sticking around for such a fantastic issue. This is the first must read issue of this series and with any luck it wont be the last. Now fans just have to hope the team is able to get out of the grocery story they have been in for the last three issues.

Micronauts #1

Apr 26, 2016

The issue makes you wants to read more but it does feel like they are trying to compress a lot into the first issue. Especially with the description from the website of the actual story. Despite everything mentioned, their really isn't any actual time travel happening yet. This means, the story is going to go very far and deep in a short amount of time. Fans will want to pick this one up so they don't get lost.

Micronauts #2

May 17, 2016

The series is decent but its starting to feel like it knows where its going so it can take its time getting there. While it may be what fans are expecting and what has been advertised, the journey to the destination could be a bit more entertaining.

Micronauts #3

Jun 28, 2016

This series is attempting to build a universe which will appeal to new and old Micronaut fans. Unfortunately, the new fans aren't going to stick around much longer if something of worthy doesn't start happening in the near future. The action and drama really need to be kicked it into high gear in the next few issues.

Micronauts #4

Jul 28, 2016

Taking roots of the villain's past helps to sell him as the cold and calculating villain he is supposed to be. Baron Karza is compelling and interesting. Now if the same can be done for the main characters, this comic will have something going for it.

Micronauts #5

Aug 30, 2016

This book is barely standing on its own and now it's about to be a part of IDWs crossover event, Revolution. All things considered, this doesnt fill fans with a sense of ease. Maybe interacting with the other titles may help it, but there is a better chance of this book being overshadowed by some of the other books such as Transformers or G.I.Joe. Unless of course the book can find a way to finally rise to the occasion.

Micronauts #7

Nov 16, 2016

The new Reconstruction event may just been what the series needed. It was feeling rushed trying to get to this point. Now time to see what kind of stories will come out of where the writer was trying to get the series to all along. For the Micronauts fans out there this is issue is a small ray of hope things might just work out.

Deathstroke (2016) #7

Nov 23, 2016

There is one more issue left in the first arc of Deathstroke return after Rebirth. It is still a good possibility this first storyline will end with the a great bit of reading. For though now it just seems too clogged by all the emotions, overplayed elements, and daytime levels of betrayals.
