Atomic Robo and The Ring of Fire #1

Sep 23, 2015

The flaws of this issue are minimal, whilst reading the Action Scientists' storyline about formulating a plan to get Robo, there is a switchback back and forth between the scientists to the government agency hunting down Robo and any known associates. The military storyline is a bit dull and provokes little interest. The absence of Atomic Robo's presence hits fans of the series deep in the soul, devotees will find themselves missing Robo's humor and wise cracks, which makes the mission to find him all that more urgent! Atomic Robo is a widely loved character and has had many wild adventures, veteran fans or new readers will love this series!

Codename Baboushka: The Conclave of Death #1

Oct 21, 2015

Baboushka really delivers with the espionage stealth vibes and Bond-style action, but it's character development that gets just a tad confusing. Contessa's monologue in the beginning was very dark and grim, but when she gets into a fighting sequence she spouts juvenile jabs that just come off as immature. The artwork is satisfying, with extravagant settings but a lack of popping colors. The storyline is very interesting and promises a lot of spy thrills and covert mission sequences, but readers will probably start wondering which kind of personality Contessa has and be confused if they see too many contradictory behaviors. In the end, Baboushka is a must for espionage fans!

Cognetic (2015) #1

Nov 4, 2015

Cognetic is a mesmerizing thriller that is written at the perfect pace to keep readers entertained and anxious for whatever happens on the next page. It is a wonderful blend of sci-fi action and suspense mixed with biblical/historical drama. The artwork fits perfectly with the story and captures the hive mind mentalityas the people are possessed by a sentient, psychic force. The only flaw is that readers will have to wait until issue 2 to see what happens!

Empty Zone #1

Jun 17, 2015

The artwork of this comic is very dark and disturbing, but it goes great with the horror feeling of the story. Also, all of the heavy colors add to the sense of how awful life is in the dystopian setting. The writing is very alluring and pulls readers in to the suspicion of the story, but there are a few points where readers might get confused as to what is real and what is not, as this story has a lot of shifts from reality. All in all, Empty Zone is a very original story and is a great experience for any horror or sci-fi fan!

This issue is a must-read for any supernatural or Ghostbuster fan! The artwork delivers incredibly as it is easy to distinguish the characters from their other-dimensional counterparts. The Real Ghostbuster characters have more vibrant and bold coloring while the live-action inspired Ghostbuster team boast more dulled hues and sharper lines. The writing is great and delivers an entertaining storyline brimming with ghosts, witches and angry gods!

Huck #1

Dec 9, 2015

This story boasts the usual formula that never fails to entertain readers who are a fan of the superhero genre, but there are some who wish to see a new element brought into the fray for superhero stories. The artwork is great and does a great job of making sure Huck looks strong, but has a gentle soul. This could be a great tale if the creators add in some new story elements, but a worthwhile read for fans of the genre.

Snarl #1

May 20, 2015

The artwork in this comic is dark and weighty, with pops of bold coloring to intensify the moment. The Native American folklore is somewhat scattered, with the mentioning of the Duwamish Tribe near Seattle, the “yee naaldlooshi” is a phrase in the Navajo language, and later the phrase “miyelo ca kola nagi tanka” is said but it consists of words from the Lakota language. It's wonderful to have Native American inspired stories and themes, but it would be more effective if the language/cultural aspects were attributed to the appropriate tribe. Overall,Snarlis a captivating mystery that will leave readers craving more!

The Covenant #1

Jun 10, 2015

If one is a fan of biblical themes and different takes on stories involving religious scriptures, then this comic will definitely please. The organization of this comic is somewhat confusing, with jumps to different points in time. The artwork is very pleasing, with details of ancient cities and displays of the Ark's incredible destructive power.
