That being said, Vaughn and Luna have in the past done some great work together. If you are a fan, then you will want to stick around and see where things go from here. There is potential here for it to become something better. It could be exactly the look that the duo were going for in this first issue while subsequentissues may differ. First time readers may find the book too lacking in originality and interesting art to continue or even pick up this book in the first place. It seems to be a miss for the creative duo, but we may not discover Eternal Empires destiny until later in the series.

Overall the book is enjoyable but lacks originality and brevity. The entire storyline could be told in three issues instead of four and would probably work better. The idea for the story, however, is intriguing and hopefully in the future we will return to it. The JLA seems like it will be a lot of fun and has potential for some great adventures as long as they dont need to do any teamwork.

Definitely pick this up for a fun read, but dont forget the lessons. Ladycastle as a series is, and should be, especially important for young girls. Dawsons work can present them with examples to keep in mind as they grow into women. These are not damsels in distress, but rather fighters and problem solvers. Sometimes you wear a dress and sometimes you fight, other times you fight in a dress.

Overall the book is good, though short, and it shows potential for a great reboot for each of the individual heroes. As far as “The Sovereigns” storyline goes, it is too early to tell. It seems to have potential, but there just wasnt enough in the 18 pages to get a sense of how things will go. This introduction is only $1.00, so you won't be out much if you don't like it, but the artwork and writing are definitely worth more than the cover price.

Overall, the issue is a lot of fun. It reads straightforwardly, but unpacks so much by the time youve finished it. We are beginning to see just how much the Reborn storyline is going to affect the overall DC Universe. For the Super-family, it appears that this reboot is the best thing to happen to them in a long time. Definitely pick up this issue and get reacquainted with the cousins.

Overall this is a decent issue with a lot of action, but you wont miss much if you skip this one. More than likely the first few panels of the next issue will sum up the events of this one. Unfortunately since DCs Rebirth Supergirl has only been mediocre except for a very few instances. Its too bad, she should have a much more popular book since she has the TV show on right now. The elements are all there for Kara to be great again, but maybe Ching and Orlando should be taken off of this one. Skip this issue unless you are a completest.

Overall this is a solid beginning to a new series. There is a lot of emotion in this book and should prove to the reader that although they may not feel human Riley and Sadie are still whole. This book is a must read if you are looking to start a good story with strong female characters and a futuristic setting.

Overall this is a good book. If you are a fan of the Dark Crystal world then you should definitely pick this issue up. It has had a little bit of a slow start but it is coming into its own with this issue. The artwork is gorgeous to take in and the story gives fans what they have wanted for many years. It will feel good to return to a world that has been a part of our imaginations for so long.

Overall, Curse Words was and is always a great read. Fun, action, and wizardswhat more could you ask for. Definitely pick up this issue even if you arent caught up with the series. There is enough here to still enjoy it. The reveals made here will be important in the next story arc for sure.

Though the main plot may seem simplistic it is a joy to read. Both in its artwork and writing The Big Lie provides the reader with a simple yet sophisticated break from big event books and end of the world crossovers. It is a tribute to the original novels that if you have ever read and enjoyed them, this issue is a must. Even if you havent, then the artwork itself is a pleasure to enjoy and worth checking out.

The future looks good for this group of night owls. They have an interesting story as a foundation and a well balanced cast to inject some light heartedness into the darkness they are facing. Definitely pick this issue up if you have ever thought of starting your own team of crime fighters or were a member of the Breakfast Club in school.

Overall,Redneck feels like it will be a successful book. Already, in one short issue, the creators have been able to communicate so much to the reader. The letter from Cates to the reader is a must read; its a key part to meaning of this story. Definitely pick up this book if you can relate to some of the themes mentioned above or want a different kind of vampire story. It will be interesting to see if the family can continue to leave their inner monsters in the dark.

Overall, this is an excellent book if you arent squeamish. It has the potential to take you to some dark places in your mind so read with caution. It is a good look at the inner struggle to keep something from your past from interfering with your present. Definitely pick up this book to get immersed in a tale of terror invading your world.

Overall Skyward #2 takes the next logical step in its storytelling path and does so very well. Great writing and eye-catching art combine for a fun ride into the future. Depending on how some common tropes are handled over the next few issues will either limit or unbound the series potential.

Overall, Super Sons continues to be an enjoyable read and always leaves the reader looking forward to the next issue. This team up could be the best one to come along since Batman first met Superman. In the future, it will be fun to look back on these early adventures and see how their relationship has evolved. Pick up this issue for continued fun, adventure, and laughter as the two continue to jab each other.

Overall the book is really good and has potential to be an outstanding series. Although it is missing some of the grittier darkness of the original, the quality of the story and art more than make up for it. This will be worth sticking along with to see where Bunn,Hurtt, and Crabtree take us.

Anytime a story can make the reader ponder their own existence, it's a good one. Check out The Normals and then check yourself!

Overall The Silencer is a lot of fun to read and is the perfect introduction to Honors world. The reader should be hooked to come back more with this issue and hopefully it keeps up the pace it starts with. There is enough here to build up and on to in order to really flesh out this character and keep it from becoming too trope-y.

Dont let X-Men: Gold prevent you from picking up X-Men: Blue. Everything that is wrong with last weeks title is done right in this book. As promised, we are back to basics in look, style, and story; it's a breath of fresh air that will restore faith in the X-Men for a lot of readers. If the X-Men are going to return to greatness, then this title is where it will happen.

Overall, though, this issue is well worth the read. The story is nicely written and the artwork is classic. The key will be to see where the next few issues take us and if they are able to capture the magic of the movies or the classical origin era.

Tieri and Okunev have put together an action filled, and different zombie story. Tieri has written a great start to what promises to be a fun zombie killing adventure with just the right amount of danger for the heroes. Okunevs art is the perfect complement for this story and the reader should enjoy all the little details. Pick up this issue becausePestilence promises to bring light to the darkness of the run-of-the-mill zombie apocalypse.

Take a look at this book if you like a lot of fun details in your art and a lot of dismemberment in your zombies.

Overall the issue is enjoyable even though it lacked a betterlook at the fallout from the last part of “Superman Reborn”. Although we get some hints as to what has changed, it just wasnt enough considering this seems to be a pretty big thing for the DC Universe.Hopefully we will get a better look into the merging of the Supermenvery soon and that the black goo is more than just a monster of the week. If you are a fan of iconic Superman moments or just looking to jump into Superman before we get into heavier plot-lines, you should definitely pick up this issue.

Overall, Superman #25 is another on point issue for the series. Although the beginning of the storyline was a little rough it evolved into a great tale for the super family. The creators have melded together action and love for a nice wrap-up for the storyline and continued growth for the family. There are some great moments that you shouldnt miss if you are a DC fan and great formative moments that should become a part of Jons future character.

In the end it may be the right time to end this run. With the rest of the DC universe taking off in a new direction with the aftereffects of the Metal story line Superwoman is a casualty of too many titles. Though Superwoman started and ran a little convoluted in the beginning and middle, it still has in the end developed into strong run both in art and story. This last issue quietly wraps up the run with enough tension to leave the reader wondering until the end. It ends on a hopeful high note and retains Lana Lang as the sweet girl from back home.

Overall, The Curse of Brimstone is a great start off to a new series. It will be a welcome addition to this new world of heroes that is being brought in to stir up the pot. DC has done the smart thing and brought in some excellent creators that will take this character in the right direction. Readers are highly recommended to pick up Brimstone and get hooked on an exciting new character.

Overall Backways is a promising new title that should definitely be read this week. There is so much introduced in this first issue that if fulfilled should be an amazing story. Just the artwork alone injects alot of cool eye candy even if the story wasnt as promising as it is. Its a winning combination that leaves you ready to explore the Backways.

Lemire has stated that the series will only be about 18 to 20 issues, so we are already almost half way through. The uniqueness of this story, though, will certainly make readers wish there was no end in sight. He has done so much excellent character building by both past and current events in their lives that we have a strong connection to our heroes. If they are going to survive in the town much longer they are going to have to let go of whats holding them back. Otherwise they arent going to see the dangers around them until its too late. Absolutely grab this issue if you have been following along and if you havent then this would work as a jumping on point.

The reader will enjoy this combination of horror, gladiator, and detective story all rolled into one. It aptly conveys Rome at it's most sickening and the reader may discover parallels with our own society. If you are a fan of ancient Rome and it's mythology or love the beauty of it's architecture then you may enjoy this book if gore doesn't scare you away. It's a good balance, though, and more than worth sticking it through. There is great potential for a deeper story and message here in future issues.

Cult Classic: Return to Whisper is a must read for the new year. It splits adulthood with the golden age of a childs youth and a secret that couldnt stay hidden.

Long Lost #4 is the continuation of an entrancing story. There is a simplicity in the writing and the art that will endear the characters to the reader as the story builds and reveals. Readers need to make this book a part of their lives to experience the ebb and flow of light and darkness in life.

The mark of a good story teller is to present the reader with something they have encountered before as something new and interesting. Skroce has done this with the first issue and the reader will be left excited to see what comes next.

Overall, Port of Earth #1 is a great start to another potential hit series for Kaplan. The first issue looks to have set everything up for an amazing story that he is more than capable of delivering. If you love alien invasions but want to see something new done with the genre then definitely pick up this issue. It would be worth preparing for future business dealings with far off visitors.

Overall, Sleepless, is absolutely a book you should be reading. Though it is slower paced than other books readers may be used to it is a welcome moment of escape. The art is a treat for the mind to absorb and the overall feel of the story is a very positive one. Its an adult fairy tale without an R rating, and this is a very good thing.

If the noir Calvin and Hobbes premise was the only thing that it had going for it interest in this book wouldnt last long. Even as a detective story it might not hold the readers interest but the combination of the two paired with the brutality of Lockes life are unique. We also discover by the end of the book that something else is going on and immediately leave us wanting our questions answered. Spencer and Locke is a must to add to your collection and enjoy reading. It looks to have a unique and exciting future.

Overall as asingle issue, TheMan Of Steel #1 is a success. It is the first step in the right direction by Bendis and shows that he has an excellent understanding of the property he is working on. Instead of trying to do something cool and flashy he is reinforcing what many may have forgotten about Superman. It is Superman's humanity that makes him the hero that he has become.

Transformers Vs Visionaries #1 is a surprising and complete success due to the high quality of work of Visaggio, Ossoio and Garcia Cruz. Together their skills take an idea that could get lost among a dozen others and bring it to the forefront. Though Visionaries weren't able to achieve much success in the 80s, there is a chance that they could be more popular now. This issue is absolutely worth the read, especially for lovers of either of the original franchises.

If you are a Witchblade fan then forget everything you know before you open the book. For good or bad it will allow you to judge this story on its own merits.

They have captured and injected a world of emotion into these pages bringing this property out of the 90s and into the modern times.

Overall Zomben is a joy to read. The artwork captures the youthfulness of the characters while Heneghans writing nicely contrasts tragic circumstances with the lightheartedness of being in grade school. Being new in a strange place is a horror story that everyone can relate to and its dealt with perfectly here. If you love Zombie stories but are tired of the same old brain eating storyline then you will definitely enjoy this book.

Overall Babyteeth is a surprisingly unique take on an end of times trope intensely illustrated with frenetic artwork. The fact that the story has so much heart to it hooks the reader and will bring them back for the next issue.

Issue #7 ofBabyteethcontinues to shock and take the reader on a fun journey from beginning to end. Readers can expect the unexpected with each new page and be left surprisedby the end of the story.

Coyotes #2 is such a beautiful joy to read. It feels like a modern folklore being painted to life for the reader. Its imagery firmly creates a lasting after-image for the reader to ponder on. The story is quickly evolving into much more that what it seemed to be starting out as. Lewis and Yarsky are possibly creating a tale that could live on beyond its print life and into folklore.

Overall, this is a cant miss issue. The series has landed now with both feet and has taken off at breakneck speed. The artwork and its gritty rugged portrayal of this world gives our eyes a feast of detail in the backgrounds and action scenes. Rucka is giving us an thrilling experience as we follow the immortal hitmen but keeps them relatable by having them seek the same answers that we do. When is it our time to die and why?

Overall, we have a mostly perfect issue. The artwork is gorgeous and the story is mind blowing. These events should have a lasting effect on the Caped Crusader and affect the DC Universe as a whole.

Its a heartfelt issue that fans will be surprised by and be talking about for the next couple of weeks until the last part of The Button comes out.

King and Janin have put together a new definitive look at the Joker, Riddler, and Batman. This issue will be one to remember.

This is another great issue of Batman that is worth owning and reading over and over. Its a treat to see Joelle Jones draw Wonder Woman and enjoy Tom Kings story with it is a perfect pairing.

Overall, this is a definite must read book. The writers' group, artist, colorist, and letterer have all come together into a terrific collaboration of storytelling.
