Gargoyles Quest #1 is shaping up to be a very compelling story so far. If youre a fan of the show and like to see the sinister schemes of characters like Demona and Thailog, this comic is for you. Weisman knows how to leave his audience on the edge of their seats craving more, and this comic is no exception. It is exciting, full of mystery and intrigue and really captures the spirit of the show.

You dont have to be a Whovian to enjoy this comic. Justice Ducks #2 is fun for the whole family. You will especially enjoy this issue if you are a fan of both Darkwing Duck and Doctor Who. If you arent interested in Doctor Who, you may not appreciate this comic as much, but its still an enjoyable story.  Overall though, it wraps up nicely in this fun adventure.

Disney Villains: Cruella De Vil #3 does a great job at providing more of a backstory for Emily Bezzler and her connection to Cruella, as well as reestablishes the relationship between Cruella and her henchmen, Horace and Jasper. This issue seems to make Cruella more confident in her villainy, when she was previously wallowing in self-pity. She doesnt seem interested any longer in keeping up appearances and pretending to be on the straight and narrow, but unashamedly evil. What do you think will happen next? Can Cruella trust Emily not to double-cross her?

If youre looking for a somewhat fun comic thats also semi-educational, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #4 is for you. If youre hoping for the Scooby-Doo characters to be drawn in the more traditional style and for the villain to put up a bit more of a fight before he is defeated, you will be disappointed. All in all, its still a good mystery, but the ending is a little bit rushed.

Batman '89: Echoes #2 is a fun story that adds to the plot through building up the characters and has enjoyable references to previous Batman media and popular actors of the 1980's and 90's. That being said, what may be disappointing is that there are no real costumed heroes to speak of in this issue, and cover is not really representative of the story in this current issue.

Lilo & Stitch #1 presents an excellent visit back into the world of the Lilo & Stitch franchise. This expands further into the world by showing Earth locations outside of Hawaii as well, exploring new possibilities for storytelling. Further adventures await as Stitch finds himself in new territory. How will Experiment 626 navigate in these new locations and can he control his destructive impulses without Lilos guidance?

While Gargoyles: Dark Ages #6 did a good job showing the humans and gargoyles united in their fight against the dragon, the outcome was somewhat anticlimactic. This series as a whole doesnt seem to be too focused on action, and more interested in exploring the ancient folklore between the gargoyles and the humans. If you like learning about the history of these characters, youll enjoy it, but if you prefer something a bit more fast-paced, you may want to skip it.

Superman 78: The Metal Curtain #5 continues the story well and escalates the conflict. While there isnt too much action in this issue, it shows how the kryptonite radiation has caused Captain Nikolaev aka Metallo to descend into madness as well as how the Russian citizens respond to Superman based on the propaganda they read about him. Next issue we will see the final confrontation between the Man of Steel and the Steel-suited man!

Despite the incongruous character designs, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #3 is still a fun story, especially since it focuses more on Catwoman and her tendency towards both heroics and villainy, whatever suits her fancy. She is a complex character and a fitting one for a comic featuring a group of mystery solvers. Scooby fans and Catwoman fans in particular are sure to enjoy this.

Negaduck #4 continues the story well and presents many plot twists. It pits two of St. Canards most ruthless rogues against each other, showcasing the cold, calculating, cutthroat nature of both criminals. It manages to present a compelling story with all villains and not a hero in sight. It points to the fact that fictional villains often have staying power and can hold their own in a compelling story, without the need for a hero to challenge them. Darkwings foes certainly show this to be true. If you love Darkwing Duck villains and clever plot twists, you will enjoy this issue.

Superman 78: The Metal Curtain #4 is a good edition to this series that leaves you wanting more. Although it seems strange how Superman doesnt seem as effected by kryptonite as in previous issues, this comic does a good job of reestablishing the rivalry between Lex and Superman in the Reeve universe. It may also involve the two begrudgingly teaming up next issue, or will they be mortal enemies once more? This issue also leaves it open-ended about Metallos fate, but since theres 2 more issues left in this miniseries, its doubtful weve seen the last of him.

While there are some fun homages in The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #2, the overall story is pretty lackluster, especially since there werent really any other suspects or red herrings besides the one character. They could have explored Grundys origin more or even cast suspicion on one of the tourists. If you like references to the classics, you may enjoy this one, but if you enjoy a good mystery, you probably will be disappointed.

Gargoyles: Dark Ages #5 is a good continuation to this series and introduces new characters that expand upon the gargoyles lore. This issue shows us things mostly from a childs perspective, which makes the dragon all the more terrifying. There isnt much of Angel/Demona and the Archmage this issue, besides her learning to read, but they may end up using the dragon for nefarious purposes. Aside from the dragon's awakening, the action in this issue is lacking. Hopefully it will pick up a bit more next issue now that the dragon has been let loose.

Disney Villains: Hades #5 was a good concluding issue to what was a funny series. It introduced new characters, and reimagined others. Although some characters previously appeared on Hercules the animated series, this comic brings that series canon into question, due in part to characters like Jason and Icarus appearing completely differently from how they appeared in the show. Hades squad of misfits really worked well together and the unique personalities they each had really helped to establish their characters. It also showed us that for all his bravado, smooth talk and sarcasm, Hades feels lonely, despite not really admitting it to anyone. Yet, even this doesnt cause us to sympathize with him and he still remains the snarky villain from the movie. Anyone who is a fan of Disneys Hercules and Hades in particular, would definitely enjoy this series.

Justice Ducks #1 is fun for fans of Darkwing Duck and a great comic for the whole family to enjoy. It has action, humor and teamwork. Fans of Darkwing specifically may be a little let down though, since Darkwing isnt featured as prominently throughout the action sequences, however he still plays a significant role near the end of the story. This is a great introductory comic to new fans of these characters.

Disney Villains: Cruella De Vil #1 presents a very faithful depiction of the original animated Cruella De Vil. She wants to be liked and appreciated by high society, so she puts up a faade, concealing her true character. The storytellers remain consistent with the continuity of the original movie as well, while also introducing new characters. Cruella receives an enigmatic letter and a mysterious figure watches from afar as the issue closes. Who could it be and how might she be connected to Cruella?

Looney Tunes #276 presents two very fun stories. It is especially entertaining for those who are fans of Taz and/or Rocky and Mugsy. If you like the character of Lola Bunny or the genre of film noir, you will definitely appreciate the first story. This issue respects the Looney Tunes characters well, while also deviating from what readers normally expect to some extent, in order to keep us on our toes and provide more laughs.

Gargoyles #11 does a good job of interconnecting plot points from the show, such as those surrounding the character of Halcyon Renard and the lack of transparency on the part of Elisa Maza, and by extension, Matt Bluestone. Although unless youve binged the series recently, you probably wont be as impacted by this issue as the plot is heavily focused on particular plot points from the series that wouldnt make sense to those who havent seen the show or need a refresher. Its great for fans of the show, but they should give a little more background information for those who may need a reminder of the details from the show.

Superman 78: The Metal Curtain #3 does a good job of introducing new characters to the Christopher Reeve Superman universe. They are all inserted flawlessly, in a way that makes them seem natural to the world of the films. The characters who appeared in the films are depicted very faithfully to how they were portrayed in the movies, such as Clark, Lois, Jimmy and Perry. With the reappearance of the villain at the end, how do you think he might factor into the events of next issue?

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #5 wasnt as captivating as other issues in this series and the plot is becoming difficult to follow. Characters seem to be coming out of nowhere with no real explanation for their return. The previous issues had a little bit more of a backstory. Its possible that more will be revealed in the final issue.

Superman 78: The Metal Curtain #2 continues a great storyline that feels like another Christopher Reeve film. It pays homage to the second movie and builds off of the previous comic series well, while also introducing new characters. This version of Metallo is a formidable opponent, even if hes not the traditional version of the character. What do you think might happen next?

Negaduck #3 is a good continuation of this storyline. It shows the Fearsome Five working together, albeit begrudgingly, for a common goal. This issue shows that they are able to hold their own in a story without Darkwing Duck, and it still provides much entertainment for readers. One can only wonder what mischief theyll get themselves into next. What challenges might they face next issue?

Batman 89: Echoes #1 is a great follow-up to last years Batman 89 series so far. It provides twists, turns, mystery and intrigue. It also builds well off of what came before with both the previous Tim Burton movies as well as last years Batman 89 comic series. Additionally, there are some clever homages to other Batmen such as the Nolanverse trilogy, the 1940s film serials, and even shelved Batman movies. This opening issue leaves us with more questions than answers, but it is sure to be exciting as it unfolds. It certainly feels like a new cinematic adventure. What do you think will happen next?

Darkwing Duck #10 showed good character growth for Darkwing and it serves as a good segue into the upcoming Justice Ducks series coming soon from Dynamite. Overall though, this didnt seem to be as exciting of a story arc. There could have been a more exciting villain and more interaction between Darkwing and Launchpad in this final issue. Nevertheless, it still presented the characters accurately with how they were depicted on the show.

Disney Villains: Hades #4 helps to flesh out the characters more. We see more of the personalities of characters like Jason and Medea and the drama between them. The motley crew that Hades assembled soon discover that theyre now able to work as a team, united with a common goal. Hades again proves himself to be a master manipulator. One can only wonder what his plans are next and if we will learn where this story fits within the timeline of the movie.

Superman '78: The Metal Curtain #1 is a great new addition to the Superman mythos within the Christopher Reeve movie universe. It gives us a fresh reimagining of the character of Metallo at connects it to historical world events happening around the time the Reeve movies were produced.

If you were expecting action, then Gargoyles: Dark Ages #4 will probably be disappointing for you. Nevertheless, it still depicts the relationships between humans and gargoyles well, showing the innocence of childhood and how children are naturally curious about differences between people (and this case, people and gargoyles.) It also foreshadows more of how Demona started dabbling in dark magic. What might happen next in the ancient gargoyle saga?

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #3 is intriguing and re-introduces us to the Court of Owls, establishing them in the world of Batman Beyond. It also expands upon Kyles backstory and gives us more insight into this new character, even connecting him with older DC characters. There isnt much focus on other characters besides Batman and Kyle in this issue, but they still establish the connection between Beam and Terry, and may show her helping Terry in future issues of this series.

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #4 gives some great insight into Kyles backstory and his mentorship by Constantine, even if it isnt how it really happened according to him, but since thats all we as readers have to go on right now, it helps us learn more about him as a character. Also, despite most fans knowing Terrys actual backstory, seeing a twisted version of it changes it up and helps us recognize Terrys fears and doubts, getting a little more insight into his character as well.

Disney Villains: Hades #3 presents a fun and compelling story, with characters getting into various perilous situations done in a comedic way. Hades and Jason play off each other well. One can only wonder what will happen next, and who will end up triumphant with the Golden Fleece. Regardless of the outcome, its sure to be entertaining!

Gargoyles #10 presented a solid conclusion to this story arc, but also leaves readers with an anticipation of whats to come by showing something significant happening in the life of a minor character from the show. This issue uncovered secrets before the characters and also showed that some secrets are being kept hidden from other characters. Will these secrets being exposed by the final issue, and what might be the repercussions of revealing such secrets?

Negaduck #2 continues to be an exciting story. The villains are able to hold their own without Darkwing Duck and still make for a compelling tale. It shows that oftentimes in fiction stories, the villains are more interesting characters than the heroes. The characters stay in character based on how they were depicted in the show, and the dialogue is well-written for each character.

Gargoyles: Halloween Special #1 is a fun story that pays tribute to previous episodes from the show, as well as expands upon the characterization of new faces like Nashville, allowing the readers to learn more about his personality. He is a brave and somewhat impulsive character, much like his father. Just like the Halloween episode of the show, this comic pays tribute to a classic Disney movie through Elisas choice of costume. Even if you havent read the previous Gargoyles comics, this is a great issue to jump on board with to get invested into the characters.

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #8 presents an excellent finale to this series. It does seem to retcon the events of Ras Al Ghuls appearance in the Batman Beyond episode, Out of the Past though, but Dini and Burnett have said that they were approaching it from a perspective of if Batman Beyond hadnt happened. Still, continuity sticklers may be bothered by the potential inconsistencies and trying to figure out if this series is canon with the DC animated universe at large. Nevertheless, it is still faithful to Timm and Dinis original vision for Batman: The Animated series and BTAS fans will definitely enjoy this final issue.

Darkwing Duck#9 , for the most part, is frankly disappointing. The Justice Ducks arc is being drawn out too long focusing more on in-fighting and personality clashes that any sort of fight against villainy. At this point, it wouldnt be surprising if there ends up not being a villain. This story arc is lackluster at best compared to previous Darkwing comics. Its disappointing because with more heroes, youd expect a greater threat worthy of their combined forces, and theyve just been bickering amongst themselves for three issues in a row without a trace of any villain in sight. Hopefully the story will improve, but it doesnt seem likely.

If you like to see sorceresses fighting each other, youll probably love this comic, but if you expect depth of story, youll have to look elsewhere.

Gargoyles: Dark Ages #3 shows the story is getting more intense in terms of action, and it also shows fans how Demona first became a student of the Archmage. This issue shows how the gargoyle clan is loyal to each other and how despite the disloyalty of some of the humans, that other humans still remain loyal to the gargoyles. What creature might they have to face next? And will it divide them or unite them?

Disney Villains: Hades #2 continues to expand on this fun storyline, merging elements from the Disney movie with the typical espionage/crime thriller combined with Greek mythology and presented in a comedic style. New characters are also introduced not previously seen in the Disney version of the myth, such as King Aeeta and his daughter, Medea. This is an enjoyable read and it also educates readers on various Greek myths as well, albeit with artistic liberties taken. What will happen when Jason and Hades confront each other?

While Gargoyles #9 is lacking in terms of action, it does do a good job of re-examining themes from the show, such discussing whether gargoyles possess sentience and if theyre deserving of rights the same as humans. The characters are depicted consistent with how theyve been portrayed in this comic thus far and in the first two seasons of the show. How might this trial turn out? And what other surprises might be in store?

If youre a fan of Darkwing Ducks rogues gallery, then Negaduck #1 is definitely the comic for you! It features several sinister citizens of St. Canard and its a very funny story, as Negaduck seeks to compete with his fellow criminals. It also showcases Negaducks resourcefulness, despite many of his plans ending up being copied by others. He shows that he is a good parallel of Darkwing Duck. Just as Darkwings ego is big and he wants to be praised by the city, Negaducks ego is so big that he cant handle any criminals stealing his ideas. He wants to be sole villain for St. Canard to fear. What new surprises are in store next issue? And if not Darkwing, who will defeat Negaduck this time?

In what serves as the conclusion to this two-volume series, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #12 presents a fun, dare we say schway, finale which captures the heart behind the Batman and Scooby-Doo crossovers and the love letter it is to both Batman and Scooby fans alike. It shows why Batman and Scooby-Doo worked so well together. Although it has been stated there wont be any future volumes, it leaves the door open for more potential crossovers.

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #2 continues an intriguing story presenting new characters and familiar characters in a new way. Killer Crocs revamp is epic and he presents a true threat to Batman. There are even more mysteries to be uncovered next issue, such as the big reveal at the end of this issue, and who might be involved with it. There could also be more to the magic Catboi as well that could play a larger role in the story.

Although Darkwing Duck #8 doesnt reveal who the villain is yet, it still contains fun banter between Darkwing and Gizmoduck, reflective of their competitive personalities from the show. The story does seem to drag on somewhat, but Launchpad may prove to be a major player in the overall plot. Weve seen Neptunia and Gizmoduck so far in this story arc; will Morgana and Stegmutt show up next? Will the villain be revealed next issue? And who might it be?

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #7 is another exciting adventure where enemies become uneasy allies. The stakes are high. It remains to be seen who the real big bad is. Has Hamilton Hill returned from the dead? Is Ras Al Ghul up to his old tricks? Or could there be an entirely new enemy for Batman to face? And what might Man-Bat have to do with it?

Disney Villains: Hades #1 expands on the character of Hades and his minions from the film, but also keeps him the same witty, wicked villain that you love to hate. The comic has good humor, adventure, and presents the tales of Greek mythology in a fun way to the reader, much like the movie and spinoff series did. Fans of the movie will enjoy this comic.

While Disney Villains: Maleficent #4 isnt as interesting as it could be and is somewhat repetitive, it still does a good job presenting Maleficent as a character to be feared. It shows that she is not easily intimidated and even views people trying to threaten her as amusing jokes. She is in control of her magic power and wants everyone to know it. Hopefully the final issue next month will tie into the events of the movie somehow.

The story in Gargoyles: Dark Ages #2is slow-paced because it is focusing on re-acquainting readers with the history of the gargoyles in Scotland of centuries past. That being said, while the plot is slow, the art makes up for it with fantastic panels showing the characters in various emotional stages from sadness to anger. The Gargoyle mythology will continue to be explored. What further history could be uncovered?

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #11 overall is a fun story with a lot of references and good humor. It brings in a minor Batman villain as a threat and showcases how Barbara Gordon is as helpful as Oracle as she is as Batgirl. The villain appears to be very smart, but it shows that he over-estimates his intelligence and makes a stupid error, allowing himself to get caught. This issue showcases more of Shaggy, Scooby, Velma and Oracle than it does Batman, but it still shows how Batman manages to cleverly outwit his enemies.

Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #1 is a good continuation of this series that allows us to see Terry on his own, and operating as Batman without any more guidance. While Bruce was often a loner, Terry usually had some people to rely on such as his family, his girlfriend Dana, and ally Max Gibson. Now, hes pushed them all away and with Barbara Gordon retiring, he really has to adjust to working mostly on his own, save for his stalwart new girlfriend, Beam, and Gestalt, who remains in the Batcave and functions as the Batcomputer. But pushing his loved ones away has made Terry bit more determined but also somewhat discouraged at the same time. In any event, this comic expands upon the Beyond-verse nicely with many new characters, both allies and enemies.

This series has been an excellent spotlight one of Disney's most nefarious villains.

Darkwing Duck #7 is a great story that spoofs classic superhero rivalries in a way that only Darkwing Duck can. There is still a lot of information that both the readers and the characters dont know yet, but it is fun to speculate. Hopefully there is a worthy threat for the entire team of the Justice Ducks to battle next issue!

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #10 isnt a terrible story, but it isnt as exciting either. It could have benefited from a different villain, or at least have had the villain have a little bit more dialogue once he was revealed. It was interesting, though, to see the gang a little bit unsure of themselves, and looking to Batman as the master detective. Perhaps one day they will discover Batmans true identity.

What if? Dark Loki #1 takes a classic Marvel story and turns it on its head. Readers who remember the original story will be surprised by the changes this one takes. With stellar artwork, it captures the Marvel version of Norse mythology and contains epic fight scenes. It truly shows how powerful Loki would be if he possessed Mjolnir while still holding onto his own power. The book ends in almost biblical way, perhaps serving as a subtle commentary on the nature of religion.

Gargoyles: Dark Ages #1 is certainly a change of pace from the main Gargoyles comic from Dynamite, but nevertheless, it provides us with more history and backstory of the Gargoyles, beyond what was already revealed in the show. Plus, the text-only piece provides even more history. Will it be revealed who wrote the text at the end of this story? Will there be further connections with the modern day?

There really is no ultimate point to Disney Villains: Maleficent #3, other than perhaps to show the elusiveness of Maleficents pet raven. What does this story ultimately accomplish though? It doesnt tell us anything new about Maleficent, nor does it present any new characters of any significance. This was a poor story. Hopefully the next issue will be better. This is supposed to be set before the events of the Sleeping Beauty movie. It would be much more intriguing if they showed us how Maleficent first encountered King Stefan. It would give us a bit of background into why she wasnt invited to Auroras christening. Instead, we get the adventures of her raven.

Gargoyles #7 is a refreshing change of pace in the storyline, with less focus on the mobsters and the plight of the other gargoyles, and focusing instead on the malevolent machinations of Demona. This issue may serve as a way to tie into the upcoming spinoff comic, Gargoyles: Dark Ages, also written by Weisman. It is a touching tribute to series writer Michael Reaves, who passed away earlier this year. He wrote several episodes of the Gargoyles show as well as many episodes of Batman: the Animated Series. What trouble will Demona have for the other gargoyles, and what effects might her spells have?

Batman: The Adventures Continue season Three #6 gives fans an exciting new story and subverts our expectations about characters that we think we already know. It presents new mysteries and plot points to leave fans wanting more. While there are some times when Bruce and other characters feel out of character, it does expand upon the DC animated universe in a fresh, new way.

Darkwing Duck #6 presents a fun and exciting conclusion to this story arc. Although some of it is a little rushed, it still gives surprises for new readers and longtime Darkwing Duck fans alike. The personalities of the characters shine through each page, especially with Darkwing himself. It shows that despite his egotism, Darkwing still values his family and closest allies.

The story is really heating up in Disney Villains: Scar #3. It gives a good backstory on how Scar met the hyenas, shows him interacting with a fierce rival in that of the hyena queen, and it shows the extent of Scars ruthlessness, doing whatever he can to secure his rule over the kingdom. As in the film, Scar is shown to be able to easily persuade the hyenas. Some of Scars lines in this issue even mimic lines from his big musical number, Be Prepared, which hasnt happened yet at this point in the timeline. Fans will still be able to recognize some similarities to the lyrics as they read. Be prepared for what will happen next!

Those enjoyed the Static Shock animated series, and in particular the episodes, Static in Africa and Out of Africa will definitely enjoy Static Team-Up: Anansi #1. The characters are depicted true to form, as they are in the show. While this comic isnt canon with the show, it is easy for readers to tell that a lot of inspiration has been taken from it. It is an exciting story that blends superheroes and fantasy with some history and folklore, to not only be an entertaining read, but an educational one as well.

Some readers may be confused or annoyed at the art of The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #9, wishing for consistent character designs. Sticklers for continuity will be annoyed, but if this is read as a fun homage story, which is probably the intention, you will enjoy it. It truly pays tribute to the rich histories of both Batman and Scooby-Doo. It has something for Scooby fans and bat-fans of multiple generations, a perfect comic the whole family can enjoy.

While Disney Villains: Maleficent #2 doesnt offer backstory or connections to the Sleeping Beauty movie, it does still present Maleficent as a character to be feared. It shows that she is a powerful sorceress, and shows us capabilities of her powers that havent been seen before. It shows the dangers of tangling with Maleficent, but also shows a character who is unwilling to back down for good, in that of Prince Gavin. It remains to be see whether Maleficent and Prince Gavin will cross paths again, and what will be the outcome of that encounter if they do.

This was a fun issue that Disney fans, Spider-Man fans and folklore enthusiasts will all appreciate. Edge of Spider-Verse #2 leaves you wanting to see more of these characters and their respective worlds. Theres so much potential for these characters and hopefully Marvel will expand upon them even more.

Gargoyles #6 continues this exciting storyline, adding more backstory, as well as re-introducing old characters. It certainly leaves readers on their toes. Greg Weisman is a masterful storyteller and proves that through adding more depth to fan-favorite characters as well as element of mystery, leaving us wondering what will happen next in this saga. Combined with the art of Kambadais, it retains what fans loved about the show and adds to the suspense with emotion and unexpected twists.

Darkwing Duck #5 presents a good story, but hopefully more backstory of Dr. Nogood will be given in the future for readers unfamiliar with the character, as well as to show how he and Darkwing ended up crossing paths in the first place. It was also revealed that he had been bankrolling Megavolt, Bushroot and Liquidator, so what other devious denizens of St. Canard could be under his employ next issue?

Disney Villains: Maleficent #1 presents a version of Maleficent seen through the eyes of a young boy. She is still very mysterious and intimidating. It is unclear though how this story will connect to the movie or if well learn more about this new character in the coming issues. Those who werent as thrilled about Jolies version will be glad to know this story doesnt force the reader to sympathize with Maleficent, but on the other hand, it doesnt tell us much about her either. Hopefully future issues will have a bit more character development and present more connections to the original movie. Fans of Disney villains, and in particular, Maleficent, will still enjoy it though.

Disney Villains: Scar #2 is good at continuing Scars story, and explaining how he developed his relationship with the hyenas and well as his gripes with the lionesses. It keeps Scar evil and intimidating, while still giving us some minor details on his childhood. Perhaps well see more flashbacks of Scar as a cub next issue. Could he possibly meet other characters he didnt really interact with in the movie, like Timon and Pumbaa? What do you think?

Edge of Spider-Verse #1 contains 2 vastly different versions of the Web-slinger. If youre a fan of dinosaurs or happen to like gritty, noir detective-type stories with a creepy flair to them, this comic is for you. It has humor as well as suspense and mystery. Perhaps these versions of the web-slinger will be seen again in future issues of this series or elsewhere. Who is your favorite alternate Spider-Man?

Gargoyles #5 continues a compelling story. While it is still unclear about the warring mob families, the motives of the Gargoyle Task Force or how long Goliath will remain a prisoner, it seems apparent that the answers to these mysteries will soon be revealed. Weisman truly creates a story that fans of the show can be proud of and enjoy. There is still an element of mystery that leaves readers on their toes wondering what will happen next.

While Darkwing Duck #4 still presented a fun story, it seems like this series is focused more on Darkwings relationships with his family and friends as opposed to his fights with the villains. The villains so far seem to be under-utilized. There needs to be a bit more action sequences and more interaction with the villains. At least there are some hints as to what may end up setting up future plotlines, but there should be more of a balance of action and relational conflict. Hopefully future issues will improve upon this point.

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #4 does a great job at stay true to the characterization of different DCAU characters, while giving readers added suspense through plot twists and many action-packed scenes. There are new characters introduced as well as more obscure bat-villains being brought back. It also does a good job of connecting the DCAU as a whole, referencing Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited, and even possibly foreshadowing Batman Beyond. What will happen when Harley and Joker inevitably reunite?

Overall, The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #7 is kind of lackluster compared to previous stories from this series. The villain isnt revealed until the last page, and Batman doesnt really do too much in this issue. If youre a Scooby fan, or fan of reality shows like American Idol and Americas Got Talent, you might enjoy this, but otherwise you might want to pass on this particular issue.

This is a great new addition to The Lion King saga. Disney Villains: Scar #1 showcases Scars ruthlessness without making the reader feel sympathy for him. So many stories want to make us feel sorry for the villains, but this makes sure to keep Scar as the evil creature that he is, all the while showing new layers to his character. In fact, this story even shows more potential reasons for his motivation to kill and usurp Mufasa. There are also hints of whats to come. What do you think will happen next, and how might it connect to the events of the movie?

Batman: One Bad Day Ra's al Ghul #1 presents a fascinating look at one of Batmans most formidable foes. It showcases both his ruthlessness and empathy, believing himself to ultimately be doing the right thing. Yet, this is also a story about Batman too, and how his compassion is juxtaposed to Ras Al Ghul. Damian recognizes the difference between how both his father and grandfather operate, and chooses to side with the former. In his own way, Ras is also committed to preserving life, even though he uses unethical methods.

Gargoyles #4 is exciting, and leaves readers guessing as to the identity of Goliaths attackers, as well as the young couple captured in the park. Hopefully more will be explained next issue, and the attackers could be directly connected to the shadowy figure seen at the beginning of this issue. What do you think will happen next?

If youre a fan of Darkwing and Morganas relationship, you are sure to love Darkwing Duck #3, but if youre expecting a lot of action, this issue is not for you. Nevertheless, they set up the villain for next issue, so mostly likely the Terror the Flaps in the Night will make his triumphant return to crime fighting. His eventual fight with this villain is most likely foreshadowed as Drake is looking through various photos of his time as Darkwing fighting villains. Will Darkwing come to the rescue? Could Drake and Morgana get married? Let us know what you think, Darkwing fans!

Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #3 is a good expansion upon DCAU lore, exploring new characters and further connecting Batman the animated series to the rest of the DC animated universe. It also explores new characters and brings back minor characters from the show. Beyond that, there is a new iteration of the Suicide Squad, no doubt to be explored more in future issues. Batman: The Adventures Continue Season Three #3is must-read for fans of the classic DCAU version of Batman, especially those who are interested in seeing new characters added to the mythos.

The pacing in this issue could better. The action in fighting Quackerjack and his toys is exciting, but after Quackerjack is defeated, the ending seems a bit anticlimactic, and it could be difficult to follow without the dialogue. The story flows well, for the most part, but the ending seems kind of abrupt and out of the blue, not really being hinted at earlier. That being said, it seems appropriate that Drake changes into Darkwing in a photo booth, playing at his massive ego. Quackerjack could have had a bit more dialogue though. You can definitely hear the voices of Jim Cummings, Michael Bell, Terry McGovern and Christine Cavanaugh coming through the dialogue of their respective characters.

The dialogue is well-written, and Greg Weisman truly proves himself to be a masterful storyteller.

We see the themes of the preciousness of life, and the importance of protecting ones family, as Broadway emphasizes through his narration.

Batman: Beyond the White Knight #8 provides a great sendoff for this story of the bat-family and the re-imagined Batman Beyond origin, and also leaves the door open for future spinoff stories featuring cameos from a few Justice Leaguers at the end.

Murphy did a fantastic job telling this story.

Readers can expect more of Batman Beyond in the future, is the ending reveals that this series will continue next year. Schway!

The Jurassic League #4 is exciting in that it is leading towards the thrilling conclusion and it reveals the big bad, but it doesnt really offer too much action like in previous issues.

What do you think will happen when the League confronts this major villain?

While Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #5 is kind of slow in terms of the lack of action, which may be disappointing for some readers, it grounds the characters more, specifically Terry, making him more understanding of who Batman is supposed to be. There doesnt seem much chance to see other Batman Beyond characters turn up in the final issue next month, but it sure seems like Lumos may have something more up his sleeve. What do you think will happen in the conclusion?
