C.J. Pendragon Comic Reviews

Show or tell, guys. But never both. Work that out, andWolverton: Thief of Impossible Objects just might develop a leg to stand on.

All I know is that leaving Jake on the floor crying for Finn isn't the way I want to leave the story. I'll be picking up the next issue to watch what sort of trouble the mischievously bold and daring duo get into in order to have a reunion of bad puns and heartfelt sentiment.

There's hope, though. The plot thickens as the issue progresses, and the overall story promises to be at least slightly thrilling with a few interesting developments along the way. I'm not going to write Sins of the Fatheroff just yet, as Ienco and Gage are talented and come recommended, but I'll be holding my breath. Here's hoping I don't turn purple before they deliver.

While it's obviously written for a younger crowd, TANGLED was a fun read and I recommend it to children of all ages and gender.

THIS IS A TACO would be perfect for little kids from four and up. Talking animals are always a popular choice, and with the adorable character designs and funny banter, it could be a bedtime favorite!

Overall, Goosebumps MONSTERS AT MIDNIGHT was a fun throwback read thatll be a perfect comic for children, and for adults on a nostalgia kick or in search of a light read. The writing was enjoyable and read smoothly, and the illustration team presented a beautiful comic to look at. Definitely recommended, and Ill be adding it to my weekly list as well.

The Futher Adventures of Nick Wilson has a solid creative team behind it, and there's no way for it to disappoint.

And theres something strange going on with the family who run the cemetery. Something that has dirty cops running to protect themselves, and has to do with a pit that is home to terrible things. I assure you, Gravetrancers is a real thing, and not one you want to turn your back on.

GraveTrancers #3 hit the shelves April 18, 2018 and it's not so far gone that you can't get caught up on the story. The Fallon siblings should be mourning and moving on from the death of their father, but I doubt this is what Maribel had in mind when she set out on this ‘therapeutic' trip with her younger brother. Now instead of facing the past she's been trying to escape, she's facing a future that is probably going to end in thirty seconds or less.

10,000 Miles is available on Amazon, and is recommended for all ages. A story about family, growing up and adventure, there's a little something for everyone. Todd Black and Alex Garcia present a beautiful and entertaining story, and even though it's unbelievable, there's some relatable seeds of truth sown throughout its pages. Get a copy for yourself, and discover what unexpected surprises lay beneath the surface.

Join their journey, and don't forget your bingo marker; you never know when you'll hit jackpot.

If it isn't on your pull list, I suggest you fix that. Be it digital or hard-copy, Black Bolt is an emotional, adventure packed roller-coaster that holds so much promise within its pages.

Black Hammer: Age of Doom #1 will be in stores April 18, 2018. Picking up at the thrilling cliffhanger from the 2017 Black Hammer series, this new creator-owned story is pushing the limits of what our heroes know and hold dear. There are secrets hiding out on their peaceful, isolated farm.

With a story about humanity, right vs wrong and the alluring draw of the unknown,Delta 13 checks all the boxes needed to become a recommended must read. Steve Niles and Nat Jones have presented one of the better science-fiction horror stories of recent times, and it'd be insanity to miss it. But be careful, not everything is as it seems, and maybe the crew should have just listened to Sanders this one time…

Skip to the End is a masterpiece, and you'd be crazy to pass it over. Jonny is ready to relive the past in order to move on with his life, but the magic of music is in its ability to transport you to another place. As a bassist, Jonny knows that better than most. He just didn't know how true it was. And there's something just a little… off… about his sponsor…

ABBOTT holds a tremendous amount of promise; there's lost love, political niceties and supernatural happenings, a little something for everyone. With the first issue of a five issue run coming out January 24, 2018, I have to demand you drop your phone and get down to your local shop. This isn't a mystery you're going to want to miss. After all, sometimes we need a reminder that there are things out there scarier, and more dangerous, than people who are just a little bit different than we are.

BATMAN: CREATURE OF THE NIGHT is a whirlwind of a story. Touching upon heavy and delicate themes beyond the normal death and corruption that riddles Batman comics, Busiek and Leon also weave a strong web concerning mental health and coming to grips with the darkness that lives inside us all. With a mysterious tombstone in the family plot, politicians like Jack Crowder who are just a little too clean and familiar characters appearing in new places, CREATURE OF THE NIGHT offers up an intriguing tale of what it means to lose everything…

It never feels rushed, and there's humor mixed in with a very real sense of danger that'll appeal to even the most steadfast of readers.

Analog #1 is a sneak peek into a not-so distant future where privacy has been stripped from everyone across the globe, and the dangerous lengths that some people will go in order to intercept the little bit being smuggled in by Ledger Men. With an air of quiet danger and intrigue,Analogpromises to be a thrilling action-packed story that may hit just a bit too close to home.

Prelude to the Wedding is an emotionally resonating story that focuses on not just the action between Nightwing and Hush, but on the consequences the news of the upcoming Batrimony is having around Gotham. How will Batman's greatest villains react to hearing about his nuptials? With a startling reveal from Hush, Dick is forced to open his eyes and take a closer look at the things that matter most to him.

It could never be said that Simone is a less than stellar writer, and crosswind is the epitome of all the aspects a good story needs.

Samurai Grandpa is well-written, for lack of an appropriate adjective to describe my level of love and enthusiasm for the script and dialogue, and gorgeously illustrated. Timeless stories are timeless for a reason, and samurai quests remain an adventure worth joining. So pick up your copy. Wield it with the grace of a samurai warrior, and delve into a battle for family and peace with Eastin DeVerna and Shawn Daley's latest hit.

Venom #2 is an excellent story-building issue. With just enough action and just enough backstory, you're treated to a masterfully presented story that gives you exactly the right amount of information to keep up with the characters in the story without giving away future issues. This give and pull of past and present will be crucial in aiding to the creative teams success for this newest Venom run, and I expect high praise to hail them as it unravels. The next issue will be out June 27, 2018 and trust me: You do not want to be the one missing out on this.
