Packed with action, character development and visceral artwork, Aberrant is most definitely one to watch.

On first read-through, Skyward reminds me of Animosity from AfterShock Comics – a simple concept that has near limitless scope for expansion. And, to that end, I can only hope that Henderson and Garbett follow in Animosity's footsteps and focus on the story and characters first and the gimmick second.

If you are looking are a cathartic read to cleanse your palate I would highly recommend this book. The future of this book will hinge on what route the series as whole is going to take. I hope it takes the right one as there is an incredible amount of potential here.

Overall, as impressive as it looked, I cant shake the feeling that this was another story first and a Kick-Ass continuation second. I only hope I am wrong and that this series goes on to be a classic like the Dave Lizewski era. It is a decent start and look forward to the next issue.

This is clearly not aimed at adults, but does provide a lovely little reminder of why we all got into this fantastic universe in the first place. Its also an absolute must buy to help convert younger siblings or children to the nerdy side of the Force.

Honestly, I have tried to avoid writing the following words but I simply can't: This series feels like nothing more than a blatant cash grab.

If you haven't got on board with Animosity yet, I simply do not understand why. This is clearly a classic series that will be remembered for years to come. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that the series hasn't already been green-lit for Netflix, because lets face it, Animosity is the new TV show we all cant wait to start bingeing.

Honestly, if you haven't got on board with this series already, I really have to ask " why not? Go out and get this issue " and issue one " right now!

Honestly, I cannot rate this creative team highly enough. Time and time again they knock it out of the park. The stories and the art are always amazing, and this latest series is no different. And yes, it probably goes without saying by now that if you're a Ghostbusters fan, you should just go ahead and get this. Seriously. What are you waiting for? Do it!

Right from the start, this first issue feels like it's simply racing to the end and that it doesn't want you to have a chance to stop and look at the world it is trying to create. Much like the previous series, Nothing But The Truth has some real potential, but it also feels like it has stumbled out of the blocks here.

Go buy the single issues – or pre-order the collected edition – right now. You won't regret it. Even if youre new to the IDW Ghostbusters comics, this series is a perfect jumping-on point.

Generation Gone is off to a great start, and I truly hope it can maintain this upward trajectory.

I just hope the creative team don't retread over stories that have already been covered by their obvious influences. There are so many flavours of other work in this book including Power Rangers, X-Men, Chronicle and Incredible Hulk alongside an ominous reference to George Orwell's 1984. Itll be interesting to see how this story evolves, thats for sure.

Ultimately, it feels that the creative team here are a well oiled machine that know exactly what they want and exactly how to deliver it.

Ultimately though, it feels like Bankshot has the potential to become the comic book version of the Matthew Reilly novels (excellent action novels that you should definitely seek out), so I will be keeping a close eye on it as the series develops and hope to review it again in a few issues time.

If you are looking for a gritty, hard-edged story you can't go wrong with Normandy Gold. It is definitely not one for the kids, though.

Ive learned over the years not to judge a series by its first issue, and while it is a little bit clichd at times, Night Owl Society definitely has the potential to become a great series. Yes, the characters all seem to fill generic archetypes, but thats true of most great characters in the beginning, at least. I can definitely see this becoming an enjoyable mashup of The Castaways and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and theres no denying that this is a solid start for a series with a ton of potential.

Honestly, Animal Noir is clearly a passion project for its creators, and I don't like dismissing others' work out of hand, but in my opinion this is simply not an enjoyable book. The story has some nuggets of potential, sure, and I'd perhaps be open to reading it again providing it included an entirely different art style. As it stands however, this is most definitely not for me.

Without delving into the realm of spoilers, let's just summarize by say that Ghostbusters 101 features more of the same greatness that we've all come to expect from a truly great creative team who continue to be at the absolute top of their game. This initial issue already has me desperately craving the next one. Just go out and buy it. Now.

Simply put, Darkness Visible is a really good book which has the potential to become something truly special if it continues in this fashion. Definitely one to watch, and one that I will continue to read and, hopefully, enjoy.

That said, this is still a really good issue, and one that I would definitely recommend you pick up.

I think the last time I was this shocked and excited was when the XGBs appeared briefly in the Get Real series. Honestly, this is a brilliant piece of marketing underplay for a truly massive payoff. Well done IDW!

Honestly, I really wanted to like this but I just can't. On paper this sounds brilliant and I hope the series gets better as it progresses but this first issue is little more than a clunky mess

Overall, this is an interesting concept and, with a few issues to flesh things out and build up some momentum, could easily become something to get truly excited about.

There are also some spectacularly squandered opportunities here. Case in the point: one of the female characters has given herself a retractable penis. This could potentially be a great concept if it was used to explore the nature of sexuality, but it is instead just played for gross out humour against the character the reader is supposed to relate too. The whole thing just feels crass and wrong, but to be fair it also feels unintentional and slightly nave.

While this issue reads as a good endpoint for the series, thankfully it isn't, and almost feels like a kind of soft reset for the book. The guys are back to being your normal everyday paranormal investigators and eliminators, which will allow the next volume to start with a clean slate with a whole world built behind it. Fantastic stuff, yet again.

Overall this is a decent, entertaining enough issue, albeit one which appears to be firmly aimed at the younger audience.

Honestly, there isn't much I can say about this series that I haven't already. Just go buy it and I absolutely guaranteed that you won't be disappointed.

Overall, if you're a fan of the franchise then fill your boots, otherwise I would recommend giving this one a miss.

I'll be honest, this has been one of the hardest reviews I've have had to write, hence its briefness. The issue, while not necessarily “bad” in any significant way, reads like a love letter to fans of the series, which is great for creators to do, but jumping on from this point will just definitely turn newcomers off the series. I would recommend going back to read past issues if you do fancy it and saving this one for when you are a more educated fan.

The only complaint I have about this issue, aside from the fairly uninspiring characters, is the lack of backstory that is required to hook readers in. If this could have been expanded upon, then the book would have been far more memorable. As it stands, The Forevers appears to be a mash-up of franchises including Highlander, Cabin in the Woods and various others. It definitely has a lot of potential though, albeit potential that hasn't been fully realised just yet.

The good news is that the first collected edition is now out so there's no better time to jump into this amazing series.

One of the other things that this creative team excels at is the teasing of future events, and oh boy is there a lot coming based on the way the story and epilogue of this issue go. Even if I wasn't a Ghosthead I would say that this is one of the best paced and best written series out there. Artist, writer and colourist working together in perfect harmony.

That is what lets me know this book is special. Even in filler issues I still cant wait to read the next page. No panel feels wasted, no dialogue feels clunky. It flows as naturally as a TV show (which it should definitely be made into). The only other book out there that provides me with a similar easy and enjoyable read is IDWs Ghostbusters. I would go as far to say that this is my second favourite ongoing series, and I will most definitely be buying the collected edition as soon as it is released.

IDW continue withtheir universally acclaimed ongoing Ghostbusters series, and I can see no end in sight. They have gone past the sky and are currently leaving orbit. Even as filler issue, this is great.

This book, while nothing special, is making me consider getting back into the DCU  given the fact they have managed to make their most overpowered character interesting without either killing or depowering him

As we finish this issue, the series stands at a bit of a crossroads. Depending on how the story progresses, this could be definitely a book to watch, and has the potential to be up there with other IP books like IDW's Ghostbusters. For the time being however, I'm remaining cautiously optimistic.

Although I get to look at digital review copies of this series, I still have to buy the physical copies when they're released. They're just that good. When I eventually get a man cave they will be taking pride of place on my bookshelf, hopefully next to some of Dan's wonderful artwork.

You can't help but get the feeling that that this project is very close to the creative team's heart and that they are trying to put their vision into press as well as they possibility can. My only criticism is that some of the plot and characters do seem a little bit too one-dimensional in a well-built, multi dimensional world. That said, I imagine this will change over time as we get to know everyone a bit more.

This is a great jumping on point to the IDW series if you haven't already got on board, and if not, why not?

If you haven't picked up a copy of Faster Than Light yet then you really owe it to yourself to head down to your local comic shop and go lose yourself in this rich, dynamic universe.

Most adult fans of the original series will like this more for nostalgia and for the chance to expand on their childhood. The downside is that newer Power Rangers fans probably won't like it as much. Me, I'm absolutely loving what I'm seeing so far.

The overall pacing has the feel of a tense political thriller, packed with various secret alliances and subplots. Given the nature of the book, however, I think it will become more horror based as the story continues. No bad thing, especially given what we've seen from the story so far. Highly recommended for fans of horror, political drama, and grotesque beasties that will make your skin crawl.

On the whole, this is a great indie title and I look forward to the next issue.

Everything is up to the usual high standard that we should cometo associate with Burnham and Schoening by now, and I'mdefinitely excited to see what storyline threads they pull at in the upcoming “Ghostbusters International” series. All in all, as an enjoyable diversion with some intriguing Easter eggs along the way, this annual does everything it needs to, and should be considered yetanother essential purchase for fans of the IDW Ghostbusters franchise.

This is a beast of a book and you would be a fool not to pick up this and the previous two issues. The guys appear to have a clear story plan and I can't wait to see where they take us next.

That aside, I would avoid this book unless you are a Tomb Raider collector and need it for the sake of completion. Even then, don't bother opening it and hope that this particular creative team get enough sold to allow them to work on their ‘real' idea.

Overall this is a great series and I would love to see the various Ghostbuster teams – shown in issue 2 – interact via another limited series. Maybe the the Real or IDW Ghostbusters get visited by some of the other teams due to their dimensions being destabilised by Proteus's actions. Who knows? All I know is that I can't wait to pick the phone and call the boys in grey in their upcoming Annual and new ongoing series.

Ultimately, this issue isn't quite as good as the first two, but it is still brilliant in its own right. The only thing that lets it down is the traditional penultimate issue slump in pace, something that wouldn't be noticeable while reading a collected trade but which sticks out like a sore thumb in the single issue format. Either way, this series remains essential reading for any and all Ghostbuster fans out there.

Overall, this is a really, really good introduction to a well-paced and balanced story that I recommend you get on board with as soon as possible.

So while I'm sure some people – particularly those who have read the previous series – will undoubtedly find themselves enjoying this one, I simply can't recommend it at all for new readers.

Simply put, for all the brilliantly captured and well thought out action, Godzilla in Hell is the equivalent of a weekend spa break for the eyes; enjoyable, fun and refreshing.

As with all of IDW's previous Ghostbusters books, you absolutely have to pick this one up if you're a GB fan. Honestly, I wish Burnham and Schoening were in charge of the film franchise, as they could easily make another two or three films out of all the stuff they've done so far.

I'm interested to see how the story continues but hope they tone down the artwork justa bit as it's obvious thatthe intriguingplot can more than carry the book on its own merits.

Simply put, I recommend picking this book up now and getting in on the ground floor of this fantasticseries before you end up being left behind.

In spite of this, the book is genuinely good and I'll be sticking with it to see if I come round to the artwork. For me though, the deal breaker could be how theyportray CactoidJim, should he appear.

Overall, this one-shot collection is a good pick up if you are looking for an easy and enjoyable read, and serves as a great testament to some of the tremendous unsigned comic booktalent flying under the radar out there.

Overall, it was a nice change from my usual types of book and I can see this being a classic.

Overall, thisis a really good issue and I highly recommend picking it up if you fancy something a little different from your sci-fi.

Overall though, I would say that this is a good start to the run and that I am definitely looking forward to find out the nature of the ‘dire consequences; hinted at towards the end of the main story.
