From what I've seen so far, JSPS is as enjoyable to stare at as it is to actually read and I can't wait to see where it goes beyond issue one. If the first issue of this series sets the tone for what's to come, I'm in all the way.

At this point, Tales from the Drift is in such an early state that it's impossible to tell how in-depth it will go when it comes to human character development. Whether we'll see favorite characters like Mako Mori or Newton Geiszler as the comic progresses is anybody's guess, given the time jumps we see in the first issue, but the kaiju-versus-robot action is well worth the price of admission and hopefully the human drama will either be just as interesting or mercifully short. Pacific Rim is at its best when a balance between human drama and monster action is found, and if this team can manage that in the comic book series as well then Tales From the Drift will be in great shape.

It's short, strange, and leaves me hoping for a much stronger, less directionless comics outing for the King of the Monsters sometime very, very soon.

Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is a rare oddity in a medium dominated by grim and gritty reboots: it's a fun, silly, genuinely entertaining adventure with a protagonist who prefers totalkto villains rather than throw them down elevator shafts, a series that's safe and accessible for kids while still being a great choice for adults tired of dark, brooding antiheroes. It's one of the most encouraging and positive comic books out there and everything about it " from the fourth wall breaks and running narrator commentary to the nods at Marvel Comics canon present and past " makes it an enjoyable and fascinating read. If all of Marvel's comics are relaunched as successfully as USG, 2016 is going to be an amazing year for the House of Ideas.

If you love Godzilla, you're probably already finished reading your copy of this comic book, and if you aren't or only have a vague interest in kaiju, you still owe it to yourself to check this comic out.

The pacing is a little fast, and both the plot and narrative voice may take some time for newcomers to acclimate to, but this is a very good second issue. Invader ZIM was sorely missed, and I'm hoping for great things from the franchise now that it's back in action and making its move right for the nostalgia center of my brain. Bring me more! Er, please.
