13 Coins #5
Mar 9, 2015 |
It took a second read to soak in all the awesomeness of this book. But what I got was: it reads at a stable pace, the artwork is appropriate for the subject matter, and it sends a good message. Brennan and Jackson write the script in such a way that it is easy to follow, and keeps your attention. You can try to read it fast, but you might miss something (as you read, there's a lot going on in this issue). It's not a skim-it-over kind of book; it's a sit-down-with-your-glasses-on kind of book. |

Giving these classic characters new and different stories is something I wasn’t sure would work, but Marvel seems to have done a very fine job of it. It’s neat to see these characters without all the high tech stuff they have in the future Marvel stories. I’d say issue one is a success! |

Overall, this is a simple but clever nod to the brewing industry. Right now, there isn’t much tension, but I’m hoping more will come. It’s a silly look at a creative world based on beer. For any beer and comic fan, this is what you’ve been waiting for! |

I’d definitely say that the first issue is a success. I’m beyond stoked to read more; things can only get more intriguing from here. I’m bummed that Mary-Maria is such a jerk (it like really, really made me sad), but I’m looking forward to seeing how she’s going to use the satchel to her advantage. As for Armstrong and Archer, they’re in a bit of trouble right now, so it’ll be cool to see how they handle it together. This duo is strong, and definitely worth following. |

Molina’s artwork is just as telling as the dialogue, like when Sister Grimm blames She-Hulk for Ms. America’s fate. Each character shows expression more than I’ve seen in a lot of comics these days—Molina goes above and beyond the call of duty here. Basically, this is an amazing comic book, and women in leadership positions is becoming a big thing nowadays. Yay, feminism! You should definitely put this book on your “must-read” list this year. |

A-Force is quickly turning into one of my favorite comic books, not because they’re all women, and not because there’s good action in the storyline (both are true), but because the book itself is always aesthetically pleasing, and written in such a way that it pushes me to keep reading. Upon first looking at issue #1, I knew I was going to like this series, because it just makes me want to read it. If you haven’t started the series yet, get on it, man! |

This issue is kind of just a way to introduce new readers to the A-Force and its members. Because of that, Wilson doesn’t have the ability to do anything “out there” just yet. However, I have no doubt at all that she will. This is a solid issue that is a great start to what I’m hoping will lead to a really awesome reunion. |

Issue #43 proves to be a really great addition to the series, moving the plot forward quite a bit. We get to see Finn and Jake in positions where they usually aren’t, and it’s pretty interesting to watch them take on the town as fugitives. They both turn into one strange cupcake looking character. Adventure Time never lets me down, and I promise this issue won’t let you down, either. |

I have no idea where Gunter is, but hopefully these wizards can help Ice King out. I always liked Gunter. He can be a pushover, sure, but he’s adorable. Maybe the Ice King can stop thinking about himself long enough now to find him. As of now, he’s too into his new style and fitting in with his new friends. I have no doubt, though, that he is on the right track and will find Gunter soon enough. This is a great issue to add to an already amazing series in a very successful franchise. Definitely worth the read for any and all Adventure Time fans. |

The writing in this issue is consistent with that of the last, in that it reflects the typical slang-imbued dialogue of the Adventure Time series. The artwork is the same, being the colorful and cartoony style that it is. This storyline is one of the more interesting ones, I mean, how many times do you see people shot into space? It’s all part of Adventure Time’s fantastical world of magical beings and candy people. It’s a lighthearted concept with some intense themes, and always fun. |

This comic book, though silent, is one of the best, most suspenseful, beautiful and majestic books I have laid my eyes upon. However, in order to appreciate and understand the cinematic feel to it, you need to set aside time to look very carefully at each panel, so as to fully comprehend what is going on. This isn’t a book to go through quickly, just because there are no words. And if you have the time to really enjoy it, I recommend it for every single one of you, no matter what your “style” of book is. |

Either way, this is one really awesome issue, and a great way to close out the series. |

I think I was right in predicting this to be an incredible series. We now have characters that are getting closer with each other (James and Airboy’s in-depth conversation), and new levels of characters that we haven’t yet seen. Airboy is exhibiting not only anger, but revenge. James even cries in this issue because he thinks he is bipolar, but he’s too scared to be medicated. From a medicated bipolar person’s standpoint, the tears are understandable. The characters are no longer dorks doing drugs; they’re turning into real human beings with emotions, who make mistakes and learn from them. It can only get better from here, so tag along for the awesomeness that is Airboy! |

The series brings back the old story of Airboy, while the creative team puts a modern and semi-autobiographical spin on it. This is definitely worth a read (for anyone over 18). I don’t care what genre you’re into or what you’ve heard about Airboy; I recommend it to each and every one of you, with the highest of regards. |

I can honestly say I am thoroughly impressed by this issue and am insanely excited for the rest of this series. If you read Archie as a kid, even read one issue, you need to take a look at the new series. It is better than I expected, and there’s so much more to come. Here’s to our old friend and our new one, who will hopefully last all 666 issues that the original Archie did, if not more. Cheers! |

It’s a difficult task, taking such an old and cherished character, and turning him (and his friends) into something completely different. Be that as it may, Waid and Staples are definitely the right duo to take on the challenge. So far, I’d say the all new Archie series is doing pretty well, and is giving us a brand new character, with the same old goofy-but-cute characteristics. If you’re an Archie fan, or ever were, you can’t pass this one up. |

This series has been off to a great start. It’s not easy to reinvent a character as classic as Archie, but Waid and Staples are making it look effortless. I can’t wait to see what Waid has in store for us in the future. Judging by what we’ve seen so far, it’s going to be good! |

Needless to say, this issue is a really good one. We get to see the history of present day Riverdale, and boy does it tell us a lot. I'm really curious to see what Betty, Jughead, and Reggie have planned for Archie and Veronica. There's no turning back now! If you even moderately like(d) Archie, you can't miss this awesome new, revamped series. |

Archie is a classic series that Waid has taken to revamping for us. Thus far, he and the several artists he has worked with have done quite an amazing job of keeping things relative to the original while revving it up a bit. Nothing has been too safe or too “out there” for me, so I’m content with the speed Waid is moving the series here. For any and all Archie fans, this is a series you just can’t miss. |

I have no doubt that Waid is going to take us on quite the journey with these kids, so be sure to keep up with the series and enjoy the awesomeness that is Archie! |

Archie Vs Sharknado #1
Jul 23, 2015 |
I was, in all honesty, expecting this book to be kind of stupid, because it's mixing old (Archie) with [fairly] new (Sharknado). Ferrante and Parent, though, are able to make it work just enough to be entertaining. I found myself gape-mouthed and scrunch-faced at some of the images. If a book can get me to do that, it's a good one to me. |

This is a sort of sequel to the Aphrodite IX series, but it very much different"which is actually really good (not that the first series was bad, but change in comic books just makes me giddy). Some stuff is the same, but not a lot. This series is meant to be the future of the evolution, progression from the last series. I have no idea where this is going from issue #1, and I'm glad I don't, because for once, the suspense feels kind of nice. Athena herself is a badass, going from ordering an execution to grabbing a weapon herself to dying and coming back to life, and crushing someone else's head with her bare hands"all in the first issue. Needless to say, I'm already addicted. |

B.P.R.D.: Hell On Earth #132
Jun 24, 2015 |
This book is just one issue in a series of consistency and brilliance. Mignola, being Mignola, writes of the B.P.R.D. with ease and flow, letting us calmly but excitedly move from page to page with a hungering want for more. Instead of shoving a bunch of action at us, Mignola and Arcudi take their time to write out a story arc for us to be drawn into, and emotionally invested in—as much as Kraus is emotionally invested in finding himself and coming to terms with what he has done, as well as what he is yet to do. If you’re a Hellboy fan, you can’t afford to pass this book up. |

Seeing that Arcudi is leaving the B.P.R.D. team next year, I'd certainly hope he'd go out with a bang, and close up this story arc with some really amazing conclusions, as well as answers. There are a lot of mini arcs that are not yet finished, I'd say, and despite the pain of waiting, I'm a B.P.R.D. supporter forever. |

Jun 22, 2016 |
This is a really simple issue that really doesn’t contribute all too much to the overall story arc. The only thing that might move things forward is when Ashley says she might go back to the B.P.R.D. This comic has a really eerie tone to it, which is typical of the Hellboy franchise’s books. It truly does depict Hell on Earth, but it’s contained. Nothing too chaotic happened, so I’m kind of bummed about that. The creative team, however, did a fantastic job with this issue’s execution, so I’m pretty happy. For any and all fans of Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., this is a must-read. |

So, if you’re interested in these concepts, this book was made for you. This is a very solid first issue, and I can’t wait to read more! |

Even so, I think it is a necessary issue to the series. From here, things are going to get a little more dangerous as they leave the graveyard. Until issue #3, there is much to think about after reading this one. |

Although all four main characters are kind-hearted and realistic people, I personally think they’re going to go for it. You can only go so far without money, and these old actors (and one actress) sound desperate. Despite the fact that robbing San Diego Comic Con is a not-so-bright idea, they seem like smart people, and will go about it in a tactical way. Honestly though, I have no idea if they will get away with it. There are two outcomes, and I’m 50/50. But, I’ll tell you this much: I can’t wait for issue #2 so I can see what happens! |

It’s interesting to see actors without money, while today, most of them don’t know what to do with all of theirs.

This storyline makes for a fun and captivating plot of people trying to get by, just like the rest of us. |

There is a fair bit of background detail, adding to the realism of the story. Overall, though, the artwork isn’t too realistic. The entire issue has a mysterious tone to it, like we’re supposed to be waiting for something disastrous to happen. Following this unorthodox family as they live their everyday lives is actually quite interesting, given the scope of different personalities and characterizations. Things are only going to get more exciting, though, when the secret of their location and identities is threatened. The suspense is killing me! Read along to see how these heroes handle the next part of their lives together as a team. |

This is really just a bunch of shenanigans that ensue from absolutely nothing, and they’re humorous because of just that.

I couldn’t tell you how much I love that. |

Each of these stories has some element of magical realism, which isn't really what the show is about. The show was meant to reflect everyday life and the struggles/joys we experience therein. These are great stories, but it's hard for me to accept them as Bob's Burgers stories. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading them. I would definitely recommend this issue for any Bob's Burgers fan out there. |

The point of this series isn’t to relive the TV show, but to use the TV show as a base to create new, original stories. The writers and artists on this series come up with some seriously entertaining stories. Regardless of how it fits in with the TV show, these are good stories that showcase the perfect characterization that has been done by the scriptwriters for the show. This is another great issue to add to a series that takes our favorite animated show a bit further. This is definitely a must-read for any Bob’s Burgers fan. |

For any Bob's Burgers fan, you'll know that this story isn't like the TV show in that it is really "out there." The TV show is a more realistic show in terms of concept. It deals with everyday situations"not being able to pay your bills, going to school, running a business, being a parent, etc. the kids are eccentric, but the comic book series always takes things a step further. So, fans of the TV show will be in for a nice treat when the three kids get into even more crazy antics here than on the TV. I definitely recommend this issue for any and all fans of Bob's Burgers"especially people like me, whose spirit animal is the one and only Louise Belcher. |

Valiant’s next big event is here, and it’s off to a great start. Although we don’t see the whole of the character cast just yet, we know they’re coming. Venditti uses his characters to tell the story for him, so we can only expect that the best is yet to come. If possible, read The Valiant before you start reading this. If you won’t because you’re just that stubborn, new readers will still be able to understand this book. Either way, it’s worth your time. |

This has been my favorite series lately for a lot of reason. Minimalistic writing that still packs a punch, a dark and brooding tone, monsters taking over Earth (actually, monsters in general), artwork that isn’t as “polished” as mainstream comic books’ art, and so much more. If you’re into horror in the least bit, you can’t pass this series up. |

Broken World #1
Jun 1, 2015 |
Making this book strangely relatable was a good move on Barbiere and Peterson’s part. Any form of entertainment that someone can imagine themselves in is one that is going to be a hit. That’s why we cry while watching movies or reading novels—not because it’s a sad story, but because we are picturing ourselves in that exact same situation (i.e. The Notebook). In a science fiction yet realistic story, both Barbiere and Peterson are able to evoke emotions out of the reader that just make them want to read more (honestly, I was upset when I got to the last page). This isn’t the easiest thing to do, so I recommend you read this book to see just how it’ll tug on your heart strings, and boggle your mind. |

However, Blindspot sort of comes to the forefronts of this issue, which is really awesome. This is a series for any Punisher or Daredevil fan. There’s action, fighting (maybe too much fighting without any pay out), chasing, and the freaking S.W.A.T. Team! What’s going to happen?! |

Dark Souls: The Breath of Andolus #1
Apr 22, 2016 |
This is a really cool story with a lot of action and a lot of vibrancy to it. Big stories like this with a "quest" or "journey" are always really entertaining. There are always things that go wrong on the journey, or side trips that need to be made, and it's awesome to keep up with. I have a feeling this series is going to be a success! |

All in all, this is a solid issue that helps move forward the plot. There are a lot of questions I still have, but I’m sure Mann will reveal all in subsequent issues. Fira and Aldrich have passed this milestone in getting the last relic of Andolus, and now it’s on to the last stretch of their journey. Keep reading to see what fresh Hell they face next time in Dark Souls. |

Gorham’s artwork compliments Kot’s writing skills, as he draws an angular protagonist with an especially expressive face. And as if this book wasn’t good enough already, there’s a van of ninjas at the end and a very sad panel of one lonesome crossbow laying on the concrete. We’ll have to see what happens next. I think it’s safe to say I’m a big fan of this series, and you should be, too. |

Remender’s writing is so natural and fluid that it’s almost eerie, how well he knows what these teenage kids would say, in any given situation.

This is an insanely interesting story with artwork that just further proves the urgency and danger of Mia’s situation. I mean, the design of the suit that she wears is beautiful! We’re going to see things like this throughout the series, I’m sure. Matt Kindt has said that the inspirations for this series include “the 1970s GI Joes, the Fisher-Price Adventure People toy line, Tintin, Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler, Moby Dick, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Sherlock Holmes, Jacques Cousteau, and a healthy fear of drowning.” If you’re into mysteries and enjoy any of the aforementioned influences, join Mia on her underwater adventure! |

Jan 9, 2015 |
The first issue involves binaries of light and dark, old and young, and safe and adventurous, to propose the choices we are forced to make as both child and adult. Being a comic for all ages, children can imagine the adventure and adults are offered a chance to relive their own. |

This is a brilliant addition to a series that has already made a name for itself as the sequel to a well-known miniseries. It has just switched gears to a younger inventor, so I'm stoked to see how this little girl is going to help bring imagination back to the Academy Scientifics-Lucidus. Keep reading to see what happens next! |

I’m pretty stoked for this new Figment series. I actually hope that Capri, Figment, and Spark have to go through dreamscapes just like the Dreamfinder did. As much as it would be sort of what we saw in the first Figment series, it’ll be interesting to see how Capri handles it, as opposed to how the Dreamfinder did. I can’t wait for more! |

This is an incredible issue to add to a truly touching series, and I suggest you all get hip to it! |

I am really scared that Esther is actually going to leave college and her friends. She was the weirdest character, making her my favorite character. I don’t know how things will turn out, but I miss her already. Giant Days is a hyperbolized version of reality. We’ve all been through a breakup and we’ve hated school at some point. Each issue brings about a new event that is insanely relatable for all us readers. With characters that are likeable and easily make us empathetic, the creative team on this series creates a really entertaining story for us to enjoy. If you haven’t read any of this series yet, I strongly suggest you start. |

This whole series feels like some sophisticated horror writing to me. Bunn doesn’t stick to slashers and poltergeists, because we’ve seen all that before. Instead, we get a multi-pronged, sub-texted story with a lot of elements within it: the concept of the “outsider,” the acceptance of one’s family, constant judgment, community service, respect for our elders, etc. The list goes on and on! This is truly what sophisticated horror is all about, and I come to love it more and more with every issue. |

As for now, I'm stuck with feeling angry (about the content) and impressed (of the execution). The creative team on this series has done a really amazing job of drawing us in. I have no doubt that more awesomeness is to come! |

Haunted Horror #17
Jun 22, 2015 |
As you can imagine, with me being me, I geeked out way too much over this bi-monthly series, eager to read through the grossness of it all. If you’re even remotely like me, and have even one percent of my love for horror, you cannot afford to pass this series by. It’s too classic, too amazing, and almost too good. |

Haunted Mansion #2
Apr 21, 2016 |
The creative team on this series has done an amazing job creating an atmospheric, dark, eerie tone. For someone who loves horror as much as I do, this is the kind of place I would want to move into. The mansion’s detail, from brick foundation to decorative wallpaper, looks creepily fantastic. The characters look detailed and emotive, the storyline just took a big twist that I didn’t see coming, Jean-Francois Beaulieu’s colors make this issue so vibrant and inviting, and I cannot recommend this series enough. It isn’t what I thought it would be—having seen The Haunted Mansion film—but it’s an entirely new, interesting, and entertaining story that is definitely worth the read for any horror fanatic. |

Haunted Mansion #5
Aug 3, 2016 |
I’m a huge fan of the motion picture, The Haunted Mansion. This series has absolutely nothing to do with that and, in my review of issue #1, I was kind of bummed about that because I wanted to stick to the roots of the original story. Now that I’ve read through the entire miniseries, I’m actually really glad that the story wasn’t anything like the film. This is a fresh take on an old story that some of us grew up with. The creative team has done an amazing job and, if possible, I would love to see this become an ongoing series. I’m not, by any means, saying that there will be one (I don’t know and haven’t heard anything), but hey, I can dream. For now, read this series if you want to be thoroughly entertained by a scary-but-fun story about a kid who has one Hell of an adventure with some seriously awesome ghosts. |

I’ve tried to put all bias aside for this review, since I am a long-time fan of anything Hellboy related. Even so, this issue is a 10 out of 10 to me. Its pacing is perfect, it has intrigue, mystery, and a character we all know and love on an earlier mission with the B.P.R.D. If you’re a Hellboy fan, or want to start being one, this issue is the way to go. You will not be disappointed—not one bit. |

Earlier Hellboy comic books were known for their convictive short stories, but we don’t get that degree of intensity here. Even so, there are more good things than there are bad in this issue. With any Hellboy comic book, I’ll give it a shot, since I love Hellboy. If you’re a fan, too, and want a few quick stories to satisfy your Hellboy craving, this is it. I would have loved to see Hellboy a bit more, but this is a great issue nonetheless, so I definitely recommend checking it out. |

One thing is for sure: with each issue, we’ve seen new parts of Fairyland, and with each subsequent issue, we will continue to do so.

I’ve been looking forward to this book for quite some time now, and it was well worth the wait. I’ve just read an exceptional book about an absorbing storyline. I’m actually sort of bummed that I’m done reading it already. You get my point: this book is awesome, and it will do you well to read it. |

This series is picking up with plenty of good and entertaining material. This issue served as a way to get us to understand/trust John Flood. From now on, hopefully we can stay focused on the serial killer. Although, catnapping is fun to read about, too. There was no animal cruelty or anything gruesome of that nature, so this issue was a good read. Jordan is doing a magnificent job of developing these characters and making them work well together in the process. I’m already itching for issue #3! |

Berry and Flood are two very different people, and it shows. It should be interesting to see how their partnership plays out in issues to come. I’m not sure if they’ll ever catch the killer, now that the killer caught Flood. In my mind, it’s up to Berry to save the day—again. Here’s hoping his cop experience can save both him and Flood from the lunacy that is the murderer! |

Bottom line is, this series is going to be good. It seems a little weird, but that’s the point. Jonesy isn’t a Wonder Woman or a She-Hulk; she’s freaking Jonesy, man—she’s in her own category of super powered human. She seems like the kind of kid I would befriend in middle school, so I am stoked to go on this journey of a series with her, expecting great things. |

I have, however, been waiting a long time for Jughead to get his own series. Jug is by far my favorite character from the entire Archie series—all 666 issues of it. I’m really glad he gets all the attention now. I only hope the characters can maintain their personalities the whole series. I mean, Moose definitely seems dumber. Archie isn’t as girl-obsessed. But hopefully Jughead will keep his old, hungry self alive. |

This series is one that is bound to have some seriously epic moments. A huge group of supervillains going against a huge group of superheroes that everyone [uncharacteristically] hates?

Keep up with the series to find out! |

Whatever the matter is with Ollie is beyond me. His daydreams were nice in the first issue, but prison can change a man (you can’t tell, but I’m squinting while nodding my head up and down). I hope we get to know exactly what is going on in his head that makes him think like this, because I am way past curious at this point. Sugar seems to think them not escaping is Pickles’ fault (that’s the head cat). I believe it. I’m looking forward to some kind of showdown next issue. Keep reading to see what these angry inmates will get themselves into next! |

This is a great way to end the series. These four issues represent a lot of different things, depending on your perspective. Is it a series about the criminal justice system? The harsh conditions in American penitentiaries? Animal shelters that keep dogs and cats in cages, their only contact being with the hands that pet them (mirrored in the hands of the “guards”)? This series can be looked at in so many different ways, and that’s one of the things I love most about it. It’s a piece of art that leaves a lot up to the reader to figure out. I’m bummed that it’s over, but damn, what a ride it has been! This is definitely a series that I recommend you all read as soon as possible. |

I’m really excited to see what’s next for all these men. Will Flewelling’s company eat the Sasquatch? Will Lewis and Clark’s explorers survive a fight with the Sasquatch? I hope we get to see more reactions next issue. For now, anyone who is interested in history and some damn good storytelling needs to pick up this issue and give it a read. You will not be disappointed. |

Mars Attacks: Occupation #1

For any sci-fi fan, especially those who are also fans of Mars Attacks (the movie), this is an essential read. See how the Martians took over what is now New Tharsis—The Martian District. We haven’t gotten to see too much of the Martian life yet, but I’m hoping that’ll change, so keep an eye out for issue #2! |

Marvel Universe: Avengers - Ultron Revolution #1
Jul 13, 2016 |
This is a great issue for any Avengers fan. It is more towards the cartoonish side (I mean, it was taken from a cartoon show), so it doesn't have as much dramatic/aesthetic appeal as other Avengers books I've seen. Nonetheless, it's a wonderful story that has the Avengers learning what it means to be a team again. |

This first issue does a lot, but leaves a lot up in the air. We are left with question after question about Elsa, her father, her necklace, the boy, their destination, and so much more. The only thing to do is keep up with the series to find out what happens next. Spurrier and Walker have definitely created Marvel’s next successful series under the Secret Wars imprint here. |

In summary, the characterization in this book fuels it forward, accompanied by some really awesome artwork. Even though the characterization is enough for us, Spurrier throws twists and turns at us, to keep us interested. It’s a creepy series, and it’s executed beautifully. If you don’t read this series, chances are you feel a void in your life—like something is lacking. This is it. This will make you feel whole again, so pick it up, enjoy, and feeeeel all right! |

This book is the most perceptive I’ve read in a long while. Kot forces us to think about what is happening in the book, and how it relates to our modern world—and trust me, it does. I’m not going to get into the politics of it all, because my fingers might bleed from all the typing I would do, but I will say that this book sheds an immense amount of light on recent events and situations that we all have either seen, heard of, or been a part of. This book will make you THINK. With that, I pay my respects to the people whose names are mentioned in this book, and I trust that you all know a good comic book when you see one; pick this up, and get Google open to do some research as you read this phenomenal, socially accurate, heartbreaking, brutally honest series. |

Overall, this is a really great issue of Minimum Wage because it sheds light on Rob’s inner psyche. It’s a whole issue of characterization, which is rare, but necessary. Fingerman already does a fine job of showing us what kind of person Rob is, but this is a push that seems valuable to the readers of this series. If you’re a fan of Minimum Wage, you can’t afford to skip this issue. |

Fingerman’s writing is, I’ll say it again, extremely real. He shows us situations that we ourselves have been through, are going through, or will go through, and gives very plausible outcomes from those situations. The language is natural and fluid, as is the artwork. Fingerman isn’t afraid to show the ugly side of his characters, and that, the normalness of this book, is why I love it so much—and so will you. |

Minimum Wage has become one of my favorite series, I think because of the sheer rawness of both the language and Rob’s emotions. We’ve all been through breakups and/or had girl trouble, and Fingerman feels our pain. With a slew of emotional ups and downs, we have followed Rob through literally so, SO many bad decisions, and there are only more to come. |

Guy’s caption boxes let us know exactly what he is thinking, and a lot of it reigns true for anyone who has experienced depression. We look back a lot, instead of to the future. We dwell. We let it get the best of us. Thankfully, that changes up a bit in this issue. My point is, Lindsay really understands and portrays depression in a truthful light. It gets a lot worse than what we have seen, but I’m glad it’s at least being shown. It doesn’t make us “crazy,” but simply a little different (in a bad way, unfortunately). Either way, this is a damn good issue that adds to an already amazing series. Trust me, you’ll love it. |

This book is not only one of stereotypes and kids brought together so we can have fun watching them try to survive, but it brings issues and observations from our own lives, to the forefronts of our thoughts. We tend to let topics that need discussing slide by, while we talk about things that do not need as much attention, like materialism, or how many likes a photo of ours got on Instagram. These kids are being thrown into the basics of life: the wild. No cell phone service. No internet access. Just them, and a will to survive. No Mercy is both entertaining and eye-opening, teaching us a lesson I think we all need to learn. There are bigger and more important things than friend counts and reblogs and inbox numbers… This book is a must read, so go pick it up. Seriously, right now. Go. And tell me what you think of it. Happy reading! |

Jul 13, 2015 |
Overall, I think this series is doing pretty well. I like how weird it is, and I love where it’s going. I really hope we get hit with a surprise; we certainly got a nice plot twist with Jared’s father’s shrine. I hope we get some more, but we’ll have to keep reading to find out! |

Oh, Killstrike has been a really cool series that I’ve read since issue #1. It has concepts from magical realism to domestic, familial, and sociological issues. I’m kind of bummed that it’s over, but I’m happy to say that it was worth the read every single issue. If you get the chance, pick up this series and give it a read. |

Old Man Logan #2
Jun 24, 2015 |
Despite the fact that Logan’s character isn’t doing all that we would like to see, this book is fantastically written and, knowing Bendis, Logan will do the storytelling himself, at whatever pace he feels is natural and appropriate. This book pushes the metaphorical boundaries of Battleworld, to include the stretches in which so many tie-ins can survive. There is a lot more story for Bendis, Sorrentino, and Maiolo to create and explore, and I have no doubt that the best of it is yet to come. |

Jul 28, 2015 |
This issue is one that takes advantage of Battleworld and the Secret Wars label. It’s really great to see a series set in Battleworld and exploring Battleworld. Logan is a classic character whom we’ve seen a lot of, but never like this. I was drawn to this series by issue #1. It truly is a good read, and I hope you’ll give it the time it deserves. |

Old Man Logan is a great way to give Wolverine some new objectives. We’ve always known Logan was sort of an angry man, but he is bitter and out for blood in this issue. Surprisingly, there is force just as strong that’s willing to stop him. For anyone who is even slightly interested in Marvel’s more mainstream titles, you’ve got to get your hands on a copy of this issue. Enjoy! |

Onyx #1

This issue is a great introduction to an epic series about the possible end of the world. I like that Ryall and Rodriguez, instead of overusing technology, portray the future of the Earth as still having some nature, though most of it is gone, and being overpopulated. This could very well be what awaits us! It’s a scary thought, but a damn good comic book. |

Penny Dreadful started out as a TV show, airing for the first time in 2014. It has since gained a huge following with its unique storytelling and references from popular characters like Abraham Van Helsing, Count Dracula, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Frankenstein, etc. Now that it is a comic book series, the franchise will only grow bigger. This series is definitely suitable for any horror fan looking for a book that will cause a little uneasiness. It’s a really well-written series that isn’t too text-heavy, and with a plot that is equally reliant on its script and artwork. There is some true talent in this series, and we’ve only just begun to see it. |

I’m a new reader when it comes to Phonogram, so I was a little afraid that I might have missed out on something in the last decade or so. However, it was pretty easy to jump right in to. If you find yourself getting confused, Gillen has been kind enough to give us a glossary of key terms to know while reading, in the back of the issue. I’m liking this series, especially since it has rather cryptic undertones to it. I would definitely recommend this to a friend—and I’ll be keeping up with the series, too! |

This is a great issue to start off the series. American Mythology Productions is really bringing about nostalgia for a lot of us with this and The Three Stooges. This series is, for that matter, going to appeal to a lot of adults. Our childhoods are coming back to life! The great thing about these kinds of stories (that don't rely on previous installments for reader comprehension) is that anyone can read them. So, while we adults will have a blast reliving our youth, children today can just as easily enjoy these stories with us. This is most definitely worth the read. |

Resident Alien: The Sam Hain Mystery #1
May 29, 2015 |
The plot starts off seemingly humdrum, but adds in some excitement with the discovery of this briefcase. I think it can only get better from here. It sits just on the fringe of science fiction, and brings entertainment to a story about ordinary people, and one really awesome alien. The best part? You don’t need to have read any Resident Alien comic books to understand the plot of this one. You have no excuse; go pick it up! |

All in all, this is a great series. It’s only on issue two, so we have a lot of time for something big to come up, and to solve the mystery. Each installment brings something new, and I’m already looking forward to issue three. This isn’t an intense and action-filled crime story, but it’s an interesting way to look at one. I definitely recommend you read this series and, if you can, keep up with it—there’s lots more to come. |

This issue is a pretty good one. There isn’t a lot of character development (just a little). Reyn and Seph have something good going, which I hope stays. Stockman’s artwork keeps the action consistent and aesthetically pleasing. Hopefully the next issue will surprise us with something new and exciting, but for now, this is a good read—definitely one to check out if you’re into fantasy and sci-fi. |

This series as a whole is incredible, but this issue in particular does a fine job, namely with its characterization.

These are the kinds of stories I love the best: the ones with enough detail for you to invest yourself in each character, for different purposes. This is a series to keep up with, but this issue isn't one you should read a summary of"you need to pick it up and soak it in for yourself. |

his story is wonderful, and darkly twisted"my favorite! Just like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, or Starve, or any other comic series that involves lots of knives, this story is beautifully gloomy, especially with the artwork. Marks' artwork has a watercolor style to it, and a general palate of red and black, with some in between, like dull pinks here and there. Was this done to resemble blood? Or, maybe, Sinister is just a red wine kind of guy. He does, after all, have the luminescent red eyes to match. |

Southern Bastards #9
Jun 23, 2015 |
Southern Bastards is sort of like a train wreck that you can’t look away from. It’s grimy, dirty, and all too real, when we think of our lives being as unsatisfying as Hardy’s. It makes you rethink your life decisions a recall a day when things were better. It sucks to think about, but the fact that a comic book can make us do that is amazing. This series is definitely one to keep up with. Aaron and Latour make a feisty team and a damn near perfect pair for writing a book as intense as this one. |

Guggenheim gives us secrecy, as many of the team members have secret affiliations and alliances they’re not willing to put in public. This causes a lot of tension between characters, which is actually a really good thing. It makes for some really great character dynamics. He also gives us some superhuman sex, villain battles, and an extremely character-driven storyline. This tie-in has more depth and character development than I’ve seen in a while. This is an incredibly engrossing book that’s definitely worth the read. |

This is a good series overall, but so far it is simply paraphrasing the film’s script. For anyone who hasn’t seen the film, this might be entertaining. But for those of us who have, it gets a little monotonous. I’m really hoping that Wendig puts some original concepts and themes into the storyline, because this series desperately needs it. Nonetheless, this series is well worth the read for any Star Wars fan. It tells a very important story of the search for Luke Skywalker. The Resistance and the First Order are going to have some beef, so you’d best stick around to see when and how it goes down! |

It’s a really cute story so far. I am reminded of a high school romance thus far. Of course, there weren’t any Mutdroids to fight in high school, unless “jock” was a code word. There’s an innocent romance going on right now between them, like Star-Lord needs to make Kitty Pryde fall in love with him again. They have a moment when they almost kiss, but things turn sour really quickly. It’ll definitely be interesting to see where this goes, and where the relationship goes, from here. |

There are adults who haven’t grasped the message of this story, but writer Grace Kraft and illustrator Kelly Turnbull get out a moral lesson in just a few pages. Besides the nostalgia, this story is spreading positivity, to get up when you’re knocked down. This is the story that emphasizes the father-son relationship more than any others, even the parent-child relationship. It’s something we all love and yearn for, but often times don’t get. Not to mention, it’s pretty cool that Greg Universe got his own series special. I’m going to recommend this for people of all ages, and tell you right now that it’s one of the cutest books you will read. |

The Baker Street Peculiars #2
Apr 11, 2016 |
The kids are in a bad position now, so it’ll be interesting to see if/how they get themselves out (or if Holmes himself saves them). Something seems a little fishy with Holmes’ landlady; I don’t quite trust everything she says, so I really hope we get to see more of her. Lastly, the Golems are pretty cool looking. I’m not sure why an army is being built, but I’m actually stoked to see that army in action. This is one of the rare times I actually hope the villain gets to accomplish his goal (at least for a second). It doesn’t look like this series is slowing down any time soon, so make sure to keep up and see what happens! |

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #6
Jul 12, 2016 |
Sabrina, the Teenage Witch is something I’ll never forget. It’s something I grew up with, and am still growing up with. To see it being transformed from comic to live action TV show to animated TV show to film and spin off comic books is something so profound that I can only explain it as something I am truly thankful for and honored to see happen. I didn’t write these comics and scripts; I wasn’t a part of the production of these stories, but with a character like Sabrina, I feel like I am a part of it. She isn’t just a character, she’s someone I know—a friend. To anyone who feels the same way, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina will not only give you the frightening Sabrina story you’re looking for, but bring a smile to your face. |

This book is more sci-fi than horror, but I think the horror is coming in issue two and beyond, judging by the last page of issue one. Niles and Mitten are able to avoid that typical execution of horror as with a “gory-and-bloody-stuff-will-scare-people” mentality. It’s not that that scares us, but imagining ourselves in that situation. If the situation is not plausible, then we don’t get scared. There is so much yet to come, and I am more excited for this book than words can explain. Keep up with this series for more sci-fi and some new horror! |

As for the weird assed parasite, hopefully we see more of what it can do besides make humans kill themselves (however, yes, that is bad enough and, no, suicide is not a joke). Either way, it’s sure to get better in the future. Here’s hoping we get so scared we wet ourselves! |

The plot tells us a lot about Rick’s leadership problems and a lot of personality clashes. This is definitely a book for all The Walking Dead fans. |

Negan is definitely going to be the main focus of The Walking Dead at this point, especially since he claims he is in love with the Alpha. It’s probably just a joke, seeing as it’s Negan, but the two of them on the same team could get really dangerous—and I can’t wait to see what they’re capable of. This is definitely an issue you can’t skip. |

I have a lot of questions after reading this issue. We see a few references to Dean’s father, who is in prison. Why is he there? Does is have to do with Dean? Did Dean grow up without a dad? I’m really curious about his family, so I hope we get to see that. What about Kimiko? How did they meet? How long have they been together? Is Abby going to get between them? Why are so many people after Dean? There is so much to touch on, but the creative team will, I’m sure, make things a bit more understandable for us. For now, though, pick up this issue from your local comic shop, and keep up with this awesome story! |

This book was meant to be a sort of reality check for all of us. Technology isn’t as bad as drugs, but it alters the mind, causes short attention spans, lessens impulse control, etc. It’s absolutely disheartening, seeing the connections between drug addiction and technology addiction. As for the story, who knows where it’ll go from here? I have a feeling Remender has some surprises for us, and I’m stoked to see what they are! |

This makes them seem a bit more humanized, and lets us feel a hint of a personal connection with them. I'm definitely looking forward to reading some more of the True Believers label. |

I’m sad to see the Ultimate Universe come to an end, but so glad to see Bendis and Bagley creating such a monumental series together. Skottie Young has drawn up a variant cover to this book of Bendis dropping the mic, while all the Marvel characters walk, fly, and web away behind him. It’s a good cover, but a sad motive to draw it. All you comic book nerds and Marvel fans, let’s take these last steps together, towards the end of the Ultimate Universe. |

For the first issue, and being a 40-page issue, this is almost unbelievably good. I hope, though, that Vaughan brings us some more characterization, and soon. There’s a lot going well, but there’s a lot going wrong, too. It’s a good plot that everyone can relate to, with an “us vs. them” mentality, but the writing isn’t quite there yet. There is definitely room for amazing writing to come, and here’s hoping that we see it. The artwork, however, for a debut issue, is phenomenal. This is definitely a series to keep your eye on. |

This is, surprisingly, a Secret Wars tie-in. We don't see any reference to Battleworld, their domain, or God Doom, and I really like that. Honestly, I'm a little sick and tired of hearing about all that. It's refreshing to see a story take place in that world, without referencing the mainstream titles or characters. Ennis does an impressive job of making this issue humorous rather than offensive, adding in the tropes and Amazonian stereotypes we know. Even so, this script would be nothing without Braun's truly amazing artwork. It has movement, emotion, naturalness, action, and comedy, all in one issue. This isn't an issue (and a series) that you want to miss. |

This is, without a doubt, a good and enjoyable comic book. No re-make will beat Eisner’s work, though, and this issue seems a little out of place, with the lingo and even physical appearances that it uses. At the end of the day, yes, I recommend this book to all of you. But like I said, first time The Spirit readers will enjoy it more than the rest of us; keep this in mind. I leave you with that. |
