The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (2015) #25

Oct 13, 2017

Squirrel Girl is always a blast to read. Its exciting and engaging, with the perfect amount of zany quirks that make you laugh and smile the whole time. Plus. Who can ever turn down DINOSAURS? Not this fan! The art is really great as always. Squirrel Girl never ceases to amaze me, and with any luck, it will always hold a beloved spot in my heart. Hats off to you, North, you did it again.

The art is fantastic, specialized, and expressive. Kara has my full attention. Im enjoying the story lines that come with Rebirth. Supergirl has been in need of this kind of hype that can only come with a well written comic, and Rebirth delivers. If you arent on board yet, you need to check her out. Youll understand the love and the hype behind Supergirl once you read her yourself.

The hunting of Supergirl continues in this thrilling arc! We see the kind of person Kara truly is in this issue. She knows she could be captured or hurt, but she continues to try to help as many as she can. This shows how amazing she really is. The art is phenomenal, and the plot is driven by her determination.

Wonder Woman/Conan #2

Oct 19, 2017

This is the first Conan comic Ive read in a long time, and it stood up to what I remembered it for. Strong art, stronger dialogue, and a well set pace. The story itself draws you in and makes you want to read it faster and faster, even though you know its only a mini-series. The art has no major flaws, and is beautifully constructed. I look forward to seeing where this will go for Diana and Conan.

I didn't know how I was going to feel about this mini-series as I read it. It's completely blown my expectations away. The art is beautiful, and it is very reminiscent of classic Conan meets Wonder Woman. The perfect combination in both story and art. There is romance, loss, battles, and more awaiting the readers when picking up this series. Pick it up and read! You won't regret it. I haven't.

Dec 21, 2017

In the newest release of Conan and Diana's tale, we find ourselves immersed into a plot that could steal the lives of hundreds. Diana still cannot reclaim her forgotten memories, and Conan clings to who he used to know instead of seeing the present. This issue pushes past the previous installments with fantastic art and writing. This mini series isn't one to take lightly. It's all around a great series that will hopefully lead to more cross-overs at this level.

Wonder Woman (2016) #32

Oct 12, 2017

The storytelling is enthralling. I want to find out more of the energy spikes belonging to Apokolips. Information would really be the treasure of Hercules at this moment, not just for us, as the readers, but for Diana as well. It was difficult to put it down, and the art only adds to it. Plot driven and emotional, the issue leaves you begging for more. Narrative pacing allows for the emotions to come across cleanly without being rushed or dragging too far along. I have few criticisms. The only one of note would be that the art can be a little rough in the beginning of this arc, but the artists have captured the emotion so thoroughly, it is easy to ignore. I found it very easy to become engaged with the story, and eagerly await the next issue.

Wow. Diana just cant catch a break. On top of the betrayals from her government work, she has to deal with finding out the truth behind her family. I cant wait for us to find out just why Jason has acted the way he has. Heras ire is going to be a big part of this, I can feel it. The story is expansive and the art is beautiful as always. Im impressed with what Robson has done to bring Diana into the Rebirth series. I await the next issue with baited breath.

With Jason's betrayal still fresh, Diana's anger gets the better of her. Grail, Darkseid's daughter, has Jason so far into her grasp, it's seemingly unlikely that he will break free. The art holds a nice fluidity that keeps you reading with ease. Emotions are running even more rampant than ever before, and there are still few answers to the multitude of questions we have. This arc will keep you guessing. Just what do the old gods want with the new? Why is Darkseid's daughter so adamant about taking Wonder Woman alive?

This issue marks the change of a massive arc, and it promises to keep the momentum going. The art is wonderful and expressive of how each character truly feels. We even get a newer glimpse into how Diana feels about Jason. I am looking forward to seeing where this arc will lead us. Robinson has a way to make you want to root for the characters even when you have no idea how they will tie in yet, and I appreciate that talent.

If you hadnt noticed, I skipped the story so far. There isnt a story so far, as this is the origin issue. This is where Jackys adventure begins. She is a spunky young girl who just wants to protect her family. The art is absolutely fantastic, and I love the dialect created for her surroundings. The speech patterns combine old and recent popular phrases while giving life to its own style. The art is engaging and full of life. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to read this issue.
