'68: Last Rites #1

Jul 23, 2015

Image has some of the best books I’ve ever read. Lately, they’re just proving that to be even more accurate. This book is definitely one of the better books I’ve read this week. You just HAVE to check it out.

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.

1872 #1

Jul 9, 2015

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!

1872 #2

Aug 21, 2015

If you’re a fan of any of these Marvel characters, you have to read this series, because you’ve never seen them like this! Issue #2 includes Elektra, Bullseye, Grizzly, and Doc Ock! Duggan and Virella are a power team, who give us some really amazing work.

This is a really great addition to 1872. Duggan does an amazing job of moving the story forward, and perfectly captures the western ambience. There’s a lot of action to come, so keep reading this awesome series!

3 Floyds: Alpha King #1

May 5, 2016

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!

3 Floyds: Alpha King #2

Jul 7, 2016

Bottom line is, this series is amazing. It’s brilliant—genius, even. It’s a great way to nod to the brewing community and bring attention to the ever-growing population of drinkers and brewers. This comic is worth every second of the read.

4 Kids Walk Into A Bank #1

Apr 28, 2016

This series has been approved for a second printing, being released on May 25th. If you’re into crime stories, and generally awesome storytelling, you can’t miss out on this series. This is great first issue, and I can’t recommend it enough. Enjoy!

A&A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong #1

Mar 17, 2016

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.

A&A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong #2

Apr 14, 2016

This series has very quickly picked up the pace. We’re already seeing a lot of action, adventure, commotion, and a ton of awesomeness. I cannot wait to see more of these guys’ adventures. We’re only at issue #2, so you have time to catch up and keep reading along; you will not be disappointed.

A&A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong #3

May 12, 2016

Valiant is releasing some amazing books these days, and this has got to be one of—if not the—best. This series is dramatic in circumstance but lighthearted with humor. The creative team on this series is doing an amazing job of delivering talented, quality material that couldn’t bore you even on the 10th re-read. This is brilliant stuff that is well worth the read for anyone who enjoys a good story.

A&A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong #4

Jun 17, 2016

So, the Bacchus affair is over. Roberts and Lafuente have done a brilliant, awesome, genius job on these first four issues of the series. For anyone who likes action/fantasy/comedic comic books, I fully recommend this series. Next issue, we see Archer and a familiar character from another series, Faith! Keep reading to see what the heck that’s all about.

A&A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong #5

Archer and Armstrong are onto their next adventure, of which I have no idea what to expect—but I know it’s going to be worth reading. As for this issue, it was great to explore Archer more and see how he acts away from Armstrong. For fans of both A&A and Faith, this is the perfect issue for you!

A-Force #1

May 27, 2015

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 #2

Jul 7, 2015

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!

A-Force #4

Sep 11, 2015

This series has been absolutely EPIC over the past four issues. There has been so much emotion and so many feelings across the board of A-Force members, and it’s awesome to see that despite it all, they are still able to work together to protect their home. Keep reading to see how these women take on a horde of flesh-eating zombies.

A-Force (2016) #1

Jan 12, 2016

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.

Abe Sapien (2013) #32

Apr 20, 2016

This issue doesn’t have too much exchange of dialogue, but it says way more than words could. We get to see Abe in new territory (even though it’s a familiar place). The creative team has done an absolutely fantastic job with this issue. In a word, it’s beautiful. Every Hellboy/Abe Sapien fan needs to read this.

Abe Sapien (2013) #33

May 16, 2016

Overall, this is a great issue to add to the series. We’re learning a lot about Abe just as Abe is learning a lot about himself. This story arc has become really revealing, entertaining, and enthralling. For anyone who is a fan of Mignola’s work, there is no way you can miss this series.

Abigail and the Snowman #2

Abigail and the Snowman is a lot more than just a story about a girl and a yeti. It is about friendship and the relationships they have with people around them. It is a cute and light-hearted story that we can all relate to on some level.

Adventure Time (2012) #41

Jun 22, 2015

This story is just as fun and upbeat as the issue itself. Jacobson’s writing very much so resembles the tone of Adventure Time, as well as his artwork. This issue is overall filled with laughs and suspense. I might be biased, seeing as I’m a long-term Adventure Time fan, but this issue is definitely worth checking out, and the series itself, too. If you get the chance, pick it up and let us know what you think!

Adventure Time (2012) #43

Aug 24, 2015

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.

Jake is on quite the adventure right now. I’m not sure how he’s going to face the governess, but I’m looking forward to finding out. Things are picking up the pace, so we should see some action pretty soon (we saw a little this issue, but not too much). This issue is easy to follow, understandable, fun, energetic, and entertaining. It’s definitely a necessity for any Adventure Time fan.

Adventure Time (2012): 2015 SPOooktacular #1

Oct 26, 2015

This is an incredible addition to the Adventure Time label. Marceline has always been my favorite character, and it’s awesome to see her in such a vulnerable position, gaining power as she deals with it. Hanna K has done a great job with this one-shot, making it a truly awesome read—crucial for any and all Adventure Time fans!

Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake - Card Wars #1

Adventure Time: Ice King #2

Feb 15, 2016

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.

Adventure Time: Marceline Gone Adrift #1

Jan 16, 2015

When you think of Adventure Time, you usually think of “Jake the Dog and Finn the Human,” rather than “Marceline the Vampire Queen.” This story is interesting for all Adventure Time fans, but if you love Marceline as much as I do, Adventure Time: Marceline Gone Adrift is definitely for you.

Adventure Time: Marceline Gone Adrift #2

Feb 12, 2015

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.

Afterlife With Archie #8

May 4, 2015

Overall, I think it was a great idea to bring back a classic comic book and reboot it as a horror genre book. This is something we don’t see too often but, when done right, can be a raging success. I think that’s what we have here, with Afterlife with Archie. Needless to say, I recommend this book for anyone who used to read Archie, or anyone that wants to get into Archie.

I highly recommend this book to any and all X-Men fans. It lives up its predecessor’s legend.

New fans will love it just as much as older ones loved the original, and then some. Check it out!

Age of Reptiles: Ancient Egyptians #1

Jun 5, 2015

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.

Age of Reptiles: Ancient Egyptians #4

Sep 4, 2015

This is a beautiful conclusion to a very beautiful miniseries. All ends are tied up with suspense and action. With Delgado’s illustrations and Hill’s colors, this issue is visually stunning. It isn’t easy to provide a complete narrative without any words, but Delgado does it, and does it well. If you haven’t read this series, you’re missing out.

Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies #1

Jun 25, 2015

I’d say the first issue was a success, but it lacks one focal point or a center of struggle for both the Marvel Zombies and the robots. Nonetheless, it takes us into new regions of Battleworld to explore the conflict that’s happening there, and artistically speaking, it is done extremely well. This is definitely one to keep your eye on.

This miniseries has been a joy to keep up with. It’s a really intense and unique storyline that creates a whole new type of enemy. How cool is that?! Freaking zombies and robots; I can’t get over it. But once again, the heroes triumph. Well, it’s up for debate. Ultron and his army took a hit, but the heroes took an even bigger one, I think. Either way, this is one really awesome issue, and a great way to close out the series.

Airboy #1

Jun 10, 2015

This book is intensely honest and beautifully disgusting, but you still won’t be able to stop reading, no matter how much your eyes squint and body cringes. Instead of taking a Golden Age character and bringing his old self back to life in a boring reboot of adventures we’ve already seen, Robinson and Hinkle create a new work of art worth all the praise that it gets, and much more.

Airboy #2

Jul 2, 2015

Robinson and Hinkle have created a confessional and bold account of writing this series, with tons of juxtaposition between our world and Airboy’s. This is entertainment at its finest, and the very peak of creativity. If you miss it, well, sucks to suck. So pick it up and be utterly blown away.

Airboy #3

Aug 7, 2015

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!

Airboy #4

Nov 12, 2015

I have been a fan of the new Airboy series from issue #1. Greg and James create this series so perfectly, while in direct coordination with one another. 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.

Amazing Spider-Man: Renew Your Vows #1

Jun 8, 2015

As we all know, I'm big on nostalgia, and I'm a big '90s kid. That means I grew up with Peter and Mary Jane's relationship. This book hits home, in the best way possible. It's a heartfelt progression of a beloved character, over the span of what his life would have been like if the '90s Spider-Man stories carried out. This is a beautiful representation on one aspect of Peter Parker's life, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. If you support Peter and Mary Jane's relationship, this book is definitely for you.

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.

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.

The creative team on this series is doing a brilliant job at bringing Archie and his pals to life. It’s difficult to re-imagine such a well-known and revered series, but Waid and Fish do it with ease. I fully recommend this issue for anyone with even the slightest interest in 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.

Archie vs. Predator #4

Jul 23, 2015

Ruiz’s artwork is cartoony and fun, with the cleverness of that classic Archie style. Jason Millet’s colors bring the animated style of the art come out even more. Being both an Archie lifelong lover and a Predator sci fi fanatic, this book has brought together two very different themes in one very awesome book. If you haven’t read it, man, it’s only four issues—come on.

Armor Wars #1

Jun 11, 2015

Armor Wars doesn’t directly tie-in with Secret Wars, and I’m very thankful for that. I’m glad that we don’t see Victor Von Doom lurking around the corners of Technopolis, and Stark has jurisdiction here (under Doom, of course). Overall, this is a truly different and independent book, that I’m more than excited to see more of.

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.

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.

B.P.R.D.: Hell On Earth #142

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.

This series brings up two very important but often overlooked issues: War and mental illness. They are not always together but, when they are, it gets you right in the heart.

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!

Baltimore: Empty Graves #2

This issue isn’t much more than exploration of the characters. There isn’t a lot of action and, when there is, it is only in a flashback. It’s a quiet issue with a lot of information to take in. 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.

I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: When a comic book can make you think beyond just the storyline, you know it’s a good one. This issue won’t let you down.

Big Con-Job #1

Mar 9, 2015

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.

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!

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.

The series is home to a unique and interesting plot that we ourselves can put our lives in to think of what choices we would make if put in Elena’s situation(s). There was some foreshadowing to the use of weaponry against Elena and her two friends, so we’ll have to read issue #3 to find out what happens!

Broken World #3

Aug 4, 2015

Needless to say, this is worth the read. Despite the fact that we’ve read it and seen it in films before, it’s still a concept that we find interesting, and one that we won’t lose interest in any time soon. So, read this book as soon as you can, and with an open mind, too.

The second I saw “Bruce Lee” in the title of this issue, I knew it was going to be absolutely EPIC. I never thought Bruce Lee and sci-fi would mix together so well, but they do! I know there are tons of Bruce Lee fans out there. All of you need to read this issue and see Bruce Lee back in action—The Dragon Rises!

Captain America And The Mighty Avengers #8

May 21, 2015

Overall, Ewing brings a lot of social issues  to his writing. More than the issues at hand, this book focuses on the individual characters. This isn’t something I see too often, but when I do, it’s like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs. I know you know the feeling; don’t even deny it. If you’re anything like me, and love reading about the individual characters in respect to one another, you have got to check this out—and let me know what you think!

It’s not easy to re-start an old comic book that didn’t do well, some 35 years ago. But Andrasofszky dares to venture into the re-making and re-vamping of this superhero, and clearly, it was a good decision. The world that he creates is all too easy to become immersed within; that’s how I know it’s a good book. If you haven’t already, go to your local comic book shop and pick it up!

If you're looking for a good superhero book that's not as mainstream as the usual Avengers and other Marvel heroes, this is it.

CBLDF Liberty Annual #2015

Oct 12, 2015

These are some seriously righteous stories that are unfortunately justified to be true in the world today. It’s really upsetting, but honestly, I’m not sad after reading this issue. I’m pretty happy to see that I’m not the only one who thinks a lot of the world is unreasonable. Not only that, but these stories aren’t random tales told for the Hell of it. They have purpose and meaning; they make you think. It has been a long time coming, but the CBLDF has done a damn fine job of letting this industry finally get a hand at telling the truth. For anyone who is interested in current events/issues, you can’t pass this book up.

This issue is a great way to kick off the new series, with its action-packed war zones and internal turmoil.

This is a great tie-in to Marvel’s summer event that is Civil War II. I’m stoked to see how everything fits together. I actually hope we see more of Damage Control. The only thing that throws me off about this issue is the cover. We have Iron Man, Captain Marvel, the Hulk, Deadpool, Captain America, She-Hulk, the Vision, and all the big heroes that you all know about—but they are nowhere in the issue. The few times they appear, it’s only for a panel or two at a time. That’s a bit deceptive, but the issue is worth a read.

This one is definitely on my top 10 this week.

Jun 27, 2016

The creative team on this series is doing a great job thickening the plot and getting us more interested. Nothing all too substantial happens in this issue to move Mia’s murder investigation forward, but her search for her father’s killer is going to become a lot more difficult.

Descender #6

Aug 19, 2015

This issue is definitely a success. We get a lot of character development and a lot of mystery. Even though this is a story about robots, we still get a decent amount of emotion thrown in. This is a brilliant end to the first story arc of the series. This is one of the best new series that Image has released lately, and I’m already itching for more.

Deus Ex: Children's Crusade #1

Feb 16, 2016

This series is a good way to keep fans busy until Deus Ex: Mankind Divided comes out. As of now, I'm not feeling too much of a connection with the characters, but I'm hoping that'll change. I want to feel emotionally invested in them, but it's just not happening. That issue aside, this issue is an amazing start to a filler series. It has a lot of action, a lot of violence, and an interesting storyline. For any fan of the video games, you've got to check this out. For anyone else, it's worth a read to get into the story.

This is a great addition to the series. Unfortunately, Raja hasn’t gotten any closer to the cure. However, she has escaped Gil’s controlling grasp on her. From here, hopefully she can make it through the debris and gunfire long enough to make her way to the cure. This is a really interesting and entertaining series, so I definitely recommend checking it out as soon as you can!

Doctor Who fans are definitely going to have fun reading this crossover, and I think I am, too!

All in all, this series is doing well for itself. It's a lot of fun, and a lot of harmless fun, at that. These are classic characters in really innocent situations, which I absolutely adore. If you watched these kinds of cartoons or read these kinds of books in the '90s and before, you're going to love this series. So give it a shot!

This is a great first issue of the series. I’m stoked to see who the magister wants dead, and I really hope we get to see more mages in the rest of the story. Dark Horse has been putting a lot of great books out lately, and this is no exception to the mastery that is being published these days. This is yet another series to keep an eye on—because big things are about to happen.

Dreaming Eagles #1

Dec 31, 2015

We get to see a lot of serious subject matter here, which I absolutely love. We see war, familial tension, an unjust society, and the difference between two generations. The creative team avoids the usual romanticism of war and glorification of violence; instead, this series, thus far, seems like it is going to be more realistic—and I’m so thankful for that. It forces us to think, to learn, and to debate. This is an interesting and very promising premiere issue to the series, and I can’t wait for more.

I’ve had my eye on this series for a while, just because I love the movie. Now I’ve got my eye on this series because I love this series. It’s an amazing and original take on the classic film, and a creative take on comic book writing and art. If you don’t already, I strongly suggest you keep up with this series to find out just what the Hell Dr. Wells has up her sleeve, and if there is some hero coming to save Milly, Megs, and Edward (personally, I think Aidan will have somewhat of a big role next issue).

I actually picked up this book because I knew it was about magic, and Cassidy is in high school.

It’s well-written, has beautiful illustrations, and it’s really fun. Anything with magic is okay by me. If you’re into magic and/or technology, this book is definitely for you.

The whole issue is written with the same premise in mind: Grumpy Cat is in a bad mood, always. She doesn't like anyone, so she tricks them into doing things that benefit her. For any and all fans of Grumpy Cat, this is a must-read.

Guardians of Knowhere #1

Jul 22, 2015

This series is starting off slow, but knowing Bendis, it will pick up to something great. We don’t know much about the Guardians yet except that they aren’t the tightest group. Gamora will definitely have something to do with their missions, and hopefully next issue the Guardians will be able to stop Yotat from taking Knowhere for himself! Read along to find out what happens!

Hail Hydra #1

Jul 21, 2015

Overall, this book is good, definitely well-written, but could be better. The artwork is really the only thing that doesn’t live up to Remender’s excellent writing.

Hank Johnson, Agent of Hydra #1

Aug 28, 2015

This issue is a one-shot, but I really, REALLY hope it turns into an ongoing series at some point. This is a comic book I could get behind. It takes some intense corporations and turns their members into human beings, every day folks. It’s an amazingly funny book about the life of a normal guy, who just happens to be a part of a villainous organization.

Harley Quinn and Her Gang Of Harleys #1

Apr 19, 2016

This team of heroes is really goofy. The members have petty fights with each other about things that don’t really matter. When they actually have a mission to complete, they are easily distracted by things that have no relevance to the task at hand. Although they’re barely heroes at all, it’ll be interesting to see them take on a case as big as this, where they need to save Harley Quinn. Will they ever get Harley back? Keep reading to find out!

Harrow County #12

May 13, 2016

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.

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.

This issue is a really good one, but isn’t anything too special or distinctive. Even if it isn’t the most unique comic, it’s still a good one. There is humor, exaggeration, sci fi realness, and a design that sticks to the original Zim. It’s definitely worth the read for any and all Invader Zim fans.

Invincible #118

Mar 27, 2015

I have to admit, I'm not too into superhero comics, and I never have been. Invincible is one of the few that can actually keep my interest, especially now that we're on another planet. Earth isn't boring or anything, but other planets are just more entertaining. That being said, this story is appropriate for new Invincible readers as well as the diehard fans that have every issue. It'll give you a mix of emotions and an overall good read. Now is the perfect time to start following Mark Grayson on this new chapter of his life.

Jeff Steinberg: Champion of Earth #1

Aug 8, 2016

This is a great comedic sci-fi series that is appropriate for fans of both genres. Jeff isn’t a man of many talents, so it’ll be interesting to see how he handles being Earth’s champion. Everyone thinks he is going to fail so far, so I’m really hoping the underdog (Jeff) can prove all the haters wrong. We’ll have to keep reading to see if he does!

Jem and the Holograms #1

Mar 27, 2015

It is overall an aesthetically pleasing book to the eye, and a thought-provoking storyline for the mind. A mix of fun and socially aware, Jem and the Holograms is a book appropriate for all ages, and even more so, should be read by all ages—to better understand the pressures and actions of young women.

Jim Henson's The Storyteller: Dragons #1

Dec 4, 2015

This series is coming along quite nicely, with the frame narrative holding the stories afloat. I’m pretty excited to see what new stories our k-9 friend will have a chance to hear. The elderly man seems like a very suspicious and curious man, and I definitely hope we see more of him. If you’re into fantasy stories like these, this series is one to check out as soon as possible.

John Flood #2

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.

Here’s hoping his cop experience can save both him and Flood from the lunacy that is the murderer!

Jonesy #1

Feb 17, 2016

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.

Jughead (2015) #1

Oct 2, 2015

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.

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.

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.

Mars Attacks: Occupation #2

Apr 26, 2016

This is an amazing science fiction story with roots in an amazing film. I’m excited about Ruby being the protagonist, because she’s really mysterious and strong. We don’t know much about her, but Layman makes us root for her. I don’t know what’s coming next, but I can’t wait to see what it is!

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.

Marvel Zombies (2015) #1

Jun 11, 2015

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.

Marvel Zombies (2015) #2

Jul 28, 2015

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!

The concept of time is broken, and it’s going to get good from here. So far, the first four issues have been very entertaining, but have served as solely the exposition for the series.

Material #2

Jun 26, 2015

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.

This series is definitely going to be something good. Chaykin’s work is always a joy to read because it often times requires more than just reading words and looking at pictures; it makes you think about why he placed everything in the positions they are in.

Minimum Wage #4

Aug 7, 2015

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.

If you’re a fan of Minimum Wage, you can’t afford to skip this issue.

Minimum Wage: So Many Bad Decisions #3

Jul 2, 2015

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: So Many Bad Decisions #6

Oct 9, 2015

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.

No Mercy #2

May 11, 2015

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.

This creative team did a wonderful job on the premiere issue of this series. Turncoat is a great dark sci-fi series that is some of the most entertaining material I’ve read in a while.

Past Aways #9

Apr 5, 2016

This is the best spoil-free review I can give you, because I really want everyone to check this series out. This is an incredible sci fi series for anyone who loves some dramatic and character-driven storylines. The creative team of Kindt and Kolins is one that I’d like to take a moment to commend. The series is this brilliant because of their creativity, hard work, and genius! Here’s hoping we see more of this story at some point! For now, we say goodbye to Past Aways. It’s been [un]real.

Peanuts Friends: Forever 2016 Special #1

Jul 11, 2016

The one-page strips help break up the issue. There is a lot of humor, irony, nostalgia, and fun in this issue. It’s definitely suitable for all ages, but has themes that are a bit advanced. For anyone who read Peanuts as a kid, this is a must-read. You’ll get an overwhelmingly warm sense of your childhood that will make even the crappiest day a good one.

Penny Dreadful #2

Jun 24, 2016

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.

Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl #1

Aug 13, 2015

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!

Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl #2

Sep 11, 2015

This series is amazing. It combines two of my favorite things in life: comics and music. The second issue is a really great addition to a series that was already amazing to begin with. I cannot wait to see if Emily can escape the screen and save what little of the Coven will be left by the time Claire is done with it. This is definitely a series to keep up with.

Pink Panther #1

Jun 15, 2016

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.

Plunder #1

Mar 9, 2015

I think being trapped in the open would be terrifying"especially if the open is saltwater with all kinds of monsters and sharks and strong waves. Granted, I'm terrified of drowning, but it would still be disturbing, at the least. Lang and McKinley take an old concept and put an exciting twist on it in Plunder, making a thriller of a comic book that you should pick up as soon as possible (even if you do need the bucket).

There are hidden messages in the writing and artwork. The protagonist is a Lovecraftian character who goes against Lovecraft’s beliefs. He’s writing a book that takes him to a place with fish-people. Alan freaking Moore writes this series. I don’t think I have to tell you to read this issue/series, but I’m going to go ahead and do it anyway. This is the most interesting series I’ve been keeping up with lately, and your life needs it, even if you don’t know it yet. Pick it up and give it a read, then tell me it disappoints you; I dare you.

May 13, 2016

This series is about to get really intense. Only one samurai can be left alive! If you love well-written stories and insanely beautiful artwork, this series should be your go-to for entertainment. The creative team does an amazing job of crafting a gorgeous issue, by all definitions of the word.

This is a great story about someone trying to move onto the next chapter of her life. Lilly is trying to get over Eva by distracting herself with work. So far, it hasn’t been working, but hopefully we’ll see some nice character development throughout the series. I’d say this is definitely a successful first issue, and I can’t wait for more!

Savage Dragon (1993) #204

Jun 12, 2015

To wrap things up, Erik Larsen is the man, and Savage Dragon is the shit. This issue takes us into the mindsets of different teenage kids, through a sociological lens of sight, and drops us off with more empathy than any other book I’ve read—and if you haven’t heard of this book until now, your life is about to get a lot better.

Savage Dragon is a book that you should probably be keeping up with in order to understand it all. That doesn't mean you have to read all 205 issues to understand this one, but you might want to brush up on the last few issues. Even if you don't, this is still a very entertaining issue. If you don't already, I'm going to recommend reading this series; it's guaranteed to get you hooked with just one issue.

May 24, 2016

This is an amazing book both visually and in terms of plot. The creative team is doing a brilliant job with this series thus far and, if the rest of the series is anything like this issue, I’m already a fan. Hopefully we get to see some more action next issue, and I can’t wait for it! This is most definitely a must-read for any and every Scooby-Doo fan. For new fans of the pup and his pals, this is a great place to start. It’s a completely reimagined story, so you don’t have to know a single thing about the franchise to understand what’s going on. There is a lot of talent on this series, and I’m positive this team won’t let us down.

This series as a whole is incredible, but this issue in particular does a fine job, namely with its characterization. There were always characters, yes, but this issue delves deep into personality traits and individual opinions. 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.

Secret Wars Journal #2

Jun 30, 2015

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.

It is brilliant storytelling with even better artwork, and altogether a good, fun read.

Gillen does a brilliant job of setting up the story for future issues.

That’s so insanely clever that I can barely believe it. They’re stealing artwork and music! This can either end pretty well or horribly, horribly wrong. I definitely recommend sticking around to see what happens.

Starve #3

Aug 19, 2015

This is an amazing series that is doing really well so far. I hope we get to see more of Angie and Gavin’s teamwork. I don’t know what Angie’s mother is up to, but I don’t like it one bit. Seeing as Angie is the only outside party who knows about it, it’ll be interesting to see what she’s going to do about it (if anything—I don’t see why she wouldn’t help Gavin out, though). Stick around for more of Starve’soriginal blend of brutality and awesomeness!

Steven Universe: Greg Universe Special #1

Apr 29, 2015

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.

Strange Attractors #1

Jun 1, 2016

We know something big is coming, and we know Wilson is going to be a significant part of it. The only thing is, he doesn't expect it just yet. I'm really excited to see him and Brownfield work together more. I'm actually stoked about learning more complexity theory throughout this series, too. This is a great issue to open up the series and, knowing Soule, things are about to get pretty exciting. So, keep reading to see the madness unfold!

Strayer #1

Feb 4, 2016

This series has started off in a pretty good way. The story, though not completely original, is engaging and insightful. Jordan is comfortable writing a series like this, so we can expect a lot of really good dialogue to come, and hopefully some twists and turns in between all that. This issue is definitely worth the read, and I can’t wait to see what Jordan and Gedeon have in store for us next.

Surface Tension #1

Jun 1, 2015

Gunn’s lifelike artwork makes for a wonderfully oxymoronic science fiction piece. I haven’t read all too many Titan comic books lately, but I’m glad I picked this one up. Finally, something original. Sure the underlying idea has been used, a force that draws humans to one place or the other, but the context is all original. Four for you, Jay Gunn; you go, Jay Gunn (reference: Mean Girls).

Surface Tension #2

Jun 25, 2015

In the end, I’d say this series is worth reading, and keeping up with. The concept of the plot is a different one, and that alone drew me in. There’s nothing I hate more than reading a story and thinking, “Oh, this is like that other story,” or “I feel like I’ve read this before.” That happens a lot, but not with Surface Tension. If you haven’t yet, give it a shot.

Not only is this book interesting, but it is stylistically sound, with a vibrant and solid basis for the art. Futuristic stories always intrigue me, because I think, however “out there” any given story is, it could happen. Who knows what the future holds? Granted I won’t be around 115 years from now, it’s pretty cool to see an idea of what my great great grandkids might be doing! I definitely recommend this book for any and every sci fi buff out there. It’s worth the read, I promise.

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).

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).

This is a great first issue with little flaws that I see (aside from Barbiere's name being misspelled on the first page). It's a solid story line, and I'm a sucker for anything steampunk, so this is definitely one to keep up with.

The Precinct #2

Jan 19, 2016

This issue is a great addition to the series. The plot should start to get really intense from here. I’m most curious about how the Academy will go about regulating the steam in the city. Steampunk is a really great genre, especially for a comic book. The visuals as well as the societal functions make this series an awesome read. Check it out as soon as you can!

The Shadow Glass #1

Mar 24, 2016

Fell has done a brilliant job with this premiere issue of what I’m guessing will be a very interesting series. Seeing as Rosalind is such a rebel, I can only imagine what she’s going to do, or even think, when she faces Thomas. This is some familial drama-based stuff, and my scandalous side loves it! This is definitely well worth the read.

The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror #21

Sep 18, 2015

Treehouse of Horror is an awesome book, but part of me really wishes there was more horror to this Halloween special. Don't get me wrong; this is a really amazing book with really awesome references, but it could use more Halloween themes, that's all. Overall, though, this is a very successful Treehouse of Horror.

The Spire #1

This book isn’t new, but it has new characters, and a new setting, and those two alone make it worth reading. It will probably take a few reads to fully understand, but I do recommend it nonetheless. This first issue was a good introduction to some lead characters and the problem at hand. The second issue can only get better from here, so stick around for the good stuff!

The Tithe #3

Co-creators Hawkins and Ekedal don’t just write a book to say they wrote it, but they think deeply about the politics and societal aspects of religion, which people don’t do enough. Any comic book about religion is a touchy one, but one with such a real script and blunt artwork is a fantastic one.

Throwaways #1

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!

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.

Aug 12, 2015

Sera and her band of misfits are dedicated to fighting billionaire corporations while assisting the disenfranchised, through their own unorthodox ways. This is 80+ pages of complete and utter AWESOMENESS, not to mention some ideas that will leave you thinking about them for hours after you're done reading. For anyone (over 18) out there, this is definitely worth a read. I haven't enjoyed a comic book this much in a while, so open your mind, and give this gem a thorough reading!

Zodiac Starforce #1

This is a really cool book with an awesome premise. Astrology mixed with tons of girl power makes for a pretty good story, as it turns out. If you’re into a good story and cartoony artwork, this series is definitely for you. I’ll be keeping up, and you should, too!
