3Keys is a roller coaster and its one that I can't wait to continue riding.

3Keys remains a feast for the eyes and it's a bonkers universe that is certainly worth visiting.

The series remains a fun romp that smashes together more than a few interesting concepts, though it could have used just a tad more meat on the bone to really make it great.

Overall, the mini-series is still a energetic and interesting read, I just wish it had been able to stick the landing.

It's a shaky first issue but the premise is sound, and I'm looking forward to reading more, just hopefully with issues that let the art work breathe.

While I wish the characters were a little richer here when it comes to the leading characters, the world itself makes for an interesting read and I'm interested to see where it goes moving forward in this secret town populated by monsters and ghouls.

There simply isn't enough meat on the bone here to truly pitch this horror concept in the right way, though I'm still crossing my fingers that there will be a big enough hook to turn things around before the end.

Maybe when the series draws to a close, more will be revealed that is able to flip the story we've read so far on its head but this issue simply isn't able to convey what Niles is going for.

A Town Called Terror isn't a terrible story, it's just one that is severely rough around the edges.

This horror story had a solid enough premise but simply couldn't build a foundation at the end of the day.

Abbott: 1979 works to explore an interesting world that blends the mundane with the supernatural via the perspective of an even more interesting protagonist.

Issue two feels like a slight step up from the premiere issue and I'm excited to see where the rest of this series goes when it comes to following the life of Abbott.

Abbott works so well at mixing the mudnane and with the supernatural, and even if you aren't familiar with the character's previous mini-series, this is a comic to give a shot.

It's another strong showing for Boom and shows how the publisher is able to rely on originality to make some of the best comics on the market today.

There's simply no reason for this comic to exist, offering no new information for readers that wasn't already gleamed in the main story arc and providing clunky, stilted dialogue in the process.

This marks a strong start and a worthy addition to "Absolute Power."

At the end of the day, Absolute Power: Origins feels like essential reading for Absolute Power and that is the best kind of tie-in to earth-shattering comic book crossovers.

This issue's a miss and you shouldn't feel bad skipping it unless you're looking to complete the crossover.

The artwork and battles taking place are interesting, but ultimately, the Annual feels like it is lacking meat on the bone and might have worked better in a story that spanned a few pages rather than a full, extra-length issue.

Writer Nick Spencer takes a breather post "Hunted", and before jumping head first into "Absolute Carnage," with a fantastic one and done story that focuses on the Peter/Mary Jane relationship.

It's not an easy feat to accomplish but both Spencer and Ottley deliver one of the best chapters of the crossover to date.

Nick Spencer continues the next chapter of Amazing Spidey's crossover with Absolute Carnage and manages to knock it out of the park once again.

Spencer brings the goods when it comes to the writing and Gleason hammers home his initial outing with Spidey.

As he has done in the past several issues, Spencer's strength comes from his ability to juggle numerous characters, and plotlines, from Spidey's past and integrate them into a well oiled machine.

Another home run issue that raises the stakes for your favorite wall crawler and opens the door for another visit to the 2099 universe.

While Spencer's script is still strong as ever, ingeniously making use of Spidey's continuity in creating an interesting moment between brother and sister, the presentation is so distracting that the art almost takes you out of the experience entirely.

It's a real shame that the artwork here is such a hindrance as there's a great story to be found.

The last page stunner is one heck of a shocker on its own and the whole package makes for a fantastic way for Spider-Man to ring in 2020.

Another great installment of the recent arc of Amazing Spider-Man.

Another solid issue for Team Spidey.

Zeb throws some major curveballs at readers here and the writer's strengths, for me, normally revolve around Peter's "lower stakes" adventures.

If you've been looking for a more serious Spidey tale, The Amazing Spider-Man #58 is well worth your time and might be my favorite issue from the team so far.

There's a lot to love in Archie Comics these past few years, but Archie: 1955 fails to capitalize on it.

There have been many alternate versions of the Riverdale gang, but this latest attempt from Waid and Augustyn feels like the most stale.

I keep hoping that this series will pick up steam but it simply hasn't and with each passing issue, I fear it just won't.

Afterlife With Archie took the bones of Riverdale and made something new, but here, we get a story that's simply repetitive and hasn't managed to justify its existence.

Ultimately, it was simply a story that didn't need to exist and didn't give us any new slants on the age old trope of a young rock star in the making who is in way over his head.

The king of Atlantis is the most interesting part of the story, and though there are one too many folks to keep track of, the first issue does its job well enough.

Even if you don't know much about the Agents of Atlas, this is worth a read.

With great character work and a blinding amount of twists and turns, Atlantis Attack remains one of the surprise hits of 2020 so far!

If you're looking for a nice contained event book, this is definitely worth your time as the characterization and art is spot on.

The conclusion to Atlantis Attacks is a strange duck, in that it is completely sold on being a crossover, that ends on the promotion of another crossover, "The King In Black," with its cover.

There's some things to like in this story, but it misses the mark so often that it's simply difficult to recommend this even to the most die-hard of Avengers fans. This one's an easy pass.

This series feels like its having one of the biggest identity crisises in the comic book world this year and luckily, it's one that you can avoid.

Avengers Beyond is an absolute trainwreck and I dread each release date when I have to open the next issue's pages.

Avengers Beyond simply doesn't justify its own existence and is a mini-series that you can easily avoid.

Avengers Beyond is a sloppy, confusing mess that should have never seen the light of day. Avoid at all costs.

As first issues go, Avengers Inc. delivers and sets the stage for stories that think outside of the Avengers' box.

Ewing especially really shines here, not only giving some great characterization to the trio of Avengers helming the series, but mining the deep ore of Marvel continuity to spin an interesting yarn in Avengers Mansion.

Whether you're an Avengers fan or simply a fan of all things Marvel, Avengers Inc. delivers a worthwhile read when it comes to interesting detective work, something that we don't see that often in the superhero realm.

It's sad to see Ewing and Kirk only being given so much time with this ingenious premise, but it certainly does seem as though they're aiming to end the series with a bang and I'll be here for it.

We're saying goodbye to Avengers Inc. far too soon, but luckily, the now mini-series goes out with a bang. Nearly all the subplots are wrapped up here in a neat little package, while planting the seeds for this new team of Avengers, and Hank Pym's Lethal Legion, to have roles in the Marvel Universe in the future.

Though the bones established here in the introductory issue work well enough, there are definitely moments in Basilisk #1 that brighter than others.

The series continues to remain a solid one with decent enough characterization, it's just lacking some oomph to really set it apart from the crowd when it comes to some of the modern day events and characters that we're following.

This feels like the first dud of the series so far, unfortunately.

While I wish that we got to know more about Hannah, Basilisk is a solid entry into Boom's library at present.

Ultimately however, the series still needs a better hook to wrap readers in the tale from Boom and while its appreciated that our star is given more backstory here, it feels like something is missing overall.

Bunn and Scharf are able to give us one of the strongest issues to date, weaving Hannah's past with the present that sees the revenge-minded protagonist nearly getting the drop on the Chimera.

There are certainly some big steps forward that the series took in terms of its story, but it needed to readjust some of its story beats to be a strong example of what this horror series brings to the table.

While the flashback sequence in this issue isn't as solid as the outings of the past issues, the main storyline is able to carry the heavy lifting this time around once again, and creating another solid issue for Basilisk.

Scharf continues killing it on the artwork for the series with both the unique take on flashbacks and the modern-day slamming together but it feels like it ultimately isn't enough to shoulder a series that has already pushed past its prime.

Basilisk feels like an interesting concept that has been stretched past its limit.

There's one too many moving pieces in this horror series, but there's definitely a solid story beneath the waves.

Batman/Superman: World's Finest is an absolute smorgasbord of all things DC Comics and works as a stellar introduction to a series that certainly isn't original in concept but goes the extra mile in building a story that fires on all cylinders through the strengths of these two legendary heroes and the worlds they call home.

I feel like this is one of those legendary runs that will be talked about for quite some time.

If you haven't read World's Finest, you're doing yourself a disservice not picking it up.

World's Finest has captured the best aspects of superhero storytelling and condensed them into an amazing series that can be recommended to anyone.

World's Finest remains the strongest superhero comic on the market today, treating its heroes like the demi-gods that they are and weaving a story that pays perfect homage to the lore of the DC Universe.

Batman/Superman #6 is part of one of the best series DC Comics is currently publishing takes the opportunity to study a time-displaced Dick Grayson, a.k.a. Robin.

Waid and Mora haven't missed a beat following their initial arc and here's hoping that they're sticking with Batman and Superman for some time to come.

World's Finest remains the best superhero book coming out from DC today, and it doesn't seem as though it's hot streak will be ending any time soon.

World's Finest does such an amazing job of reveling in DC's history while injecting new characters and elements that it all feels fresh. Cannot recommend this one enough.

Batman/Superman remains the best team-up between the two DC heroes in recent memory and this title is one to watch.

Boy Thunder's story arc comes to an end with another stellar issue from the creative team of Waid and Mora, proving once again why World's Finest should be regarded as the number one comic book DC is printing today.

Waid is joined by artist Emanuela Lupacchino for this latest issue, which departs from the "Boy Thunder" arc and gives us a hilarious outing that is definitely one of the best issues to date. Considering the heights that the series has hit over its run, that's really saying something and World's Finest remains a must read.

World's Finest remains the top superhero book for DC Comics and its main competition is itself in comparing each issue to the last and so on.

Run, do not walk, to read World's Finest.

World's Finest is able to take on the monumental task of not just combining the Superman and Batman families, but exploring the DCU at large and Waid and Mora do so seamlessly.

Waid and Mora are telling a superhero story for the modern age that both modernizes and pulls on the classic elements that make the DC Universe work.

World's Finest has its heroes and villains as larger than life and the conclusion of this latest arc once again cements the series as DC's best superhero book on the market. Juggling so many heroes and villains can be a scary trial but Waid and Mora make it look easy.

World's Finest has become the gold standard at DC Comics, with Mark Waid possessing a thorough understanding of what makes the comic book line's biggest heroes and villains work.

The conclusion of the latest flashback arc feels like the series' weakest to date, but that doesn't stop it from still being one of the best books that DC Comics is printing in the superhero world today.

I've said a number of times in my past reviews that World's Finest is creating DC's best comics and World's Finest continues to live up to that statement.

World's Finest is, simply put, superheroes at their finest and it's a strong recommendation for fans old and new.

This comic book is a masterclass on big superhero battles and characterization and in a perfect world, the series would march on for eternity.

Batman/Superman remains the pinnacle comic book to recommend for superhero fans and it doesn't seem as though that will be changing any time soon.

World's Finest continues to live up to its name and I find myself continuing to think of new ways to praise the creative team on a regular basis.

If you're a big fan of villain tales, this is an issue to grab, especially when it comes to capturing the true menace of the Joker and what other villains do in the face of that.

While the Batman/Superman Annual might have started the story, it isn't essential to enjoying the beginning of this new arc. World's Finest continues to be the gold standard of current super hero tales.

World's Finest remains DC superheroics at their best and it demands your attention.

Waid and Mora bring the latest storyline featuring Mxyzptlk and Batmite to an end, once again showing that the comic has earned its place as the top title in DC's superhero roster.

For those who might want a fantastic one shot of a story, World's Finest #30 is the way to go and is an amazingly easy recommendation for superhero fans.

World's Finest remains one of DC's best books but this latest issue doesn't feel as strong as what came before it.

In reviewing the World's Finest comic book franchise, I have said time and time again that this remains the pinnacle of superhero storytelling for DC Comics in our modern age, and the Batman/Superman annual doesn't buck this trend. The annual issue works on a number of different levels, with the originator of the World's Finest umbrella, Mark Waid, planting the seeds of the wild challenges facing the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel in the future. What the issue also does is traverse the lesser-known corners of the DCU with a modern flair.

If you're looking for a stand alone Batman story that combines one of the greatest dynamic duo's in comics' history, give The Batman's Grave a read. We're certainly looking forward to reading the twelve issue series all in one go.

While not managing to hold the momentum of the first issue, it's still worth a look (though maybe you should wait for the collection).

While the layout to this issue may seem a tad formulaic, it does give both creators a chance to stretch their legs and create a solid Batman story that has nearly everything a Bat Fan could ask for.

One of the strongest characteristics of this series is Warren Ellis' confidence in artist Bryan Hitch, creating silent fight scenes that play on the latter's strengths.

Hitch's art work is still great and a joy to experience but this latest installment suffers from a tad too much decompression.

The story lives up to the installments of the past issues, but this one definitely could have been kept in the oven a tad longer.

Throughout the maxi-series, Ellis and Hitch have been able to capture the life of the Dark Knight well, along with his relationship with his faithful butler, and this issue doesn't change that, hitting the same heights as previous issues.

Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch's journey through Gotham City continues as the mystery of the maxi-series begins to unfurl as the creative team works their magic that has been apparent throughout.

The team of Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch are moving toward their conclusion and this latest issue is another solid installment of this maxi-series mystery.

Ellis and Hitch continue this solid Batman maxi-series and though each issue tends to have a formula, man does that formula work.

Some fantastic action scenes mixed with thought provoking character work makes The Batman's Grave a solid read for fans looking to dive further into the world of the Dark Knight.

The Batman's Grave comes to a close with a rather abrupt ending that almost feels like there's more story to tell and leaves you wanting more in a negative fashion.

While mileage may vary on the reveals of this issue, the art work and character beats are well worth the price of admission here.

Batman: Fortress doesn't break the wheel in terms of revealing new hidden truths about Bruce Wayne or unforeseen secrets about the history of Gotham City, but what it does do is tell an enjoyable story of the Dark Knight facing a problem that isn't usually in his wheelhouse and sometimes, that can be enough.

Whitta and Robertson are able to put together a strong follow-up issue to the introduction of Batman: Fortress, as the world struggles not just with the loss of Superman, but power as well.

The creative team is able to lay some very interesting ground work across the board and I'm looking forward to seeing what surprises they have in store.

Another fun issue in a worthwhile mini-series.

Plenty to enjoy here and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what surprises Fortress has left in store. Luthor's "Presidential Armor" is worth the cost of admission alone.

Ultimately, the latest issue might not have hit the same height as its predecessors, but it still has plenty to like from both Witta and Robertson.

Fortress is firing on all engines with this latest issue and both Whitta and Robertson are as well.

While the landing was shaky, Fortress' last issue did find its footing in more ways than one.

Narcisse has a good understanding of the Bat Family here and while the premiere issue might have some rough spots such as the "Fear of Missing Out", Gilded City pulls itself above and beyond normal video game tie-in comics.

Gilded City might not tie into Gotham Knights as much as it could, but it acts as a solid spingboard to a fascinating tale of Gotham City itself.

This tie-in continues to be a more than worthy story to not just explore Gotham's present in this video game universe, but its past as well.

Much like the issues before it, the past storyline far exceeded that of the present, but the series justifies its existence enough times to make it a worthy addition to DC's comics library.

Gilded City remains a prime example of how to take a video game tie-in, add interesting, original elements, and run with it as Narcisse and Abel are able to do once again via this solid issue.

A solid end to a solid series.

Killing Time is an action-packed series with plenty of action and mystery that is able to focus on the best of Gotham City that arrived just in time as a solid companion piece to the new movie.

While the story itself can be a tad "scattershot" by jumping from numerous time periods, almost with each passing page, but it does help in establishing a worthy mystery when all is said and done.

Killing Time feels like a big superhero mystery that isn't perfect but it certainly is able to give readers some great Bat-moments while continuing to swim around the heads of some of Batman's greatest villains.

It's clear that this series has a firm grasp on its characters and is a very enjoyable romp that definitely feels like the best Bat story running in DC Comics today.

While not perfect, the story remains a fascinating and engaging piece of Bat-lore and certainly is one of the best Batman stories of the year pound for pound.

If you're a fan of Jock's artwork, Batman: One Dark Knight puts his strengths on impressive display as an artist, but on the other side of this coin, it highlights his weaknesses as a writer when it comes to dialogue and specific story beats. This miniseries debut is the definition of a mixed-bag, but I'm willing to see where it goes and see what tricks Jock still has up his sleeve.

The artwork and bones of this story works, but there's so much else that simply stumbles along the way.

Unfortunately, One Dark Knight isn't able to overcome some of the problems that have lingered throughout its first two issues, as Jock supplies readers with stellar artwork but seems to be beleaguered with the dialogue and story beats.

While this issue isn't perfect, there's definitely potential for the Signal here and I'm crossing my fingers that we get an ongoing at some point in the future, as the bones of a long-running story are definitely there.

Legends is a good read for comic readers looking to learn more about T'Challa but it has a few rough edges that stop it from being truly great.

This second issue feels more like filler than an instrumental part of T'Challa's life.

There's a lot to like here but there are certainly a number of edges that could have used some shaving if this wanted to go down as one of the best Black Panther stories.

Black Terror doesn't break the wheel, but it does bend it in favor of a new take on an old hero.

The premiere issue of this Scout series does an excellent job of needling the reader along, dropping just enough information in revealing the world of these supernatural gumshoes to hook readers in.

The Key To His Heart is a fantastic re-entry into one of Ahoy's biggest series and might work as a better story than its predecessor.

Black's Myth, to me, is Ahoy Comics' strongest outing yet.

While the series could use a bit more stability with its overall arc, it still managed to be a fun read and had me laughing more than a few times.

Black's Myth is the one to recommend from Ahoy's arsenal and it's a solid recommend for comic fans looking for something outside of the box.

The world of Blacks Myth continues to be an intriguing one, with the series finding the sweet spot of balancing an interesting mystery on top of world building with some interesting supernatural concepts.

Ultimately, the biggest hindrance for the series is that lack of detail that comes from its artwork, but it doesn't hinder readers from enjoying this unique tale.

Here's hoping that Black's Myth has a long future ahead of it at Ahoy as the universe of Strummer and her fellow detectives clearly have a vast, interesting universe to explore.

Black's Myth is easily one of Ahoy's best books and while the final issue stumbles a bit, I'd love to see the team work on a sequel series in the future.

Black's Myth ends strong, once again showing how the series is one of the best offerings that Ahoy Comics is currently putting on the market today.

While not every story is a home run, there's enough here to give Marvel fans something to sink their teeth into whether they're fans of the undead, Wolf Gods, light-baring superheroines, or moustache-sporting marksmen.

Ultimately, Blood Hunters's second issue isn't as strong as its first, but that's the benefit of an anthology, there's always room to bounce back.

Still, this ancillary story is a worthy one if you're looking to see the reach that Blood Hunt has in a fun and compelling fashion.

Blood Hunters as a whole justified its own existence, warts and all.

Blood Syndicate didn't grab me as much as I wish it had, but I'm interested in seeing where it takes its story next.

Blood Syndicate: Season One does a great job of re-introducing this Milestone property to the world and it's certainly worth reading if you're looking for a new take on the world of superpowered beings.

. There's still plenty to enjoy here but this does not make for a promising direction.

The series hurls a lot of different super-powered characters your way, but the story would have ultimately benefitted from spending more time with the core characters.

This series has lofty ambitions but buckles in attempting to get everything out of the way to set up the next big conflict and could have really done so much better by letting things settle.

While this new series in the Milestone Universe has plenty of action to bring its "first season" to an end, it, unfortunately, isn't able to stick the landing as well as it could have.

The combined creative effort of Seeley and Braithwaite works wonders for bringing you into the world of Bloodshot, and more importantly, seeing where he's moving toward in the future!

Book of Slaughter works both as a story unto itself and great ancillary material to Something Is Killing The Children, acting as a solid recommend to old and new readers alike.

Rosi and Ceregatti have a very solid book on their hands here, with the initial issue planting just enough seeds to keep readers engaged.

There are some interesting ideas, but there are no characters to really root for here and the premiere issue is simply bogged down in presenting its ideas by its weaknesses.

There are a lot of moving pieces here and they simply don't work in conjunction with one another.

Cable #1 doesn't break the wheel, but it shows us a side of the X-Men that has otherwise gone untold in this new era.

Putting us in the shoes of the new son of Scott Summers, the series takes the approach of throwing in everything and the kitchen sink into the works, but definitely creates a worthwhile story in doing so.

Whether you're a fan of the Nataniel Summers or not, Cable is definitely worth your hard-earned dollar.

Even if you're not a fan of the X-Men or Cable specifically, this book is a must read.

An enjoyable issue as a part of a larger half and a stand alone!

An amazing installment for an amazing story line.

This is definitely the X-Book to check out if you can only pick one outside of Hickman's foray.

Duggan and Noto continue to strike gold with the solo adventures of "Teen Cable," giving us an issue revolving around the hilarious relationship that is between young Nathan and his older self's former lover, Domino.

From Limbo to Krakoa to Madripor, the creativity simply bursts from each page and it easily remains one of the best X-books on the market today.

This issue specifically does a fantastic job of exploring the relationship between Cable and his father Cyclops, while introducing some interesting fighting techniques.

The penultimate issue of one of the best X-Books on the market today lives up to the high standards we've seen from the series to date, with Duggan and Noto continuing to knock it out of the park with the adventures of both Young and Old Cable.

I'd be hard-pressed to find any faults here, and this twelve issue mini-series makes for a must-read for X Fans and general Marvel fans alike.

Adding in a number of returning characters from the X-Mythos, this is a fantastic addition to not only the story of Cable, but this newest crossover in the world of Marvel Cosmic.

Coates is putting together a worthwhile arc here, it just needs a bit more of a shot in the arm.

While the issue promises on some neat storylines in the future, you can't help but think it had even more potential.

It's a bit all over the place and diminishes the character driven story here that dives into the mystery behind the Dryad.

A perfect Captain America story for this day and age.

This issue proves that the sum of a comic's parts might be its undoing.

The latest issue of Captain America falls prey to the same cons of previous installments in that it has a strong story with art work that is both under par and not necessarily fit for the kind of story that Coates is trying to tell for Steve Rogers and company.

While my previous criticisms of the art not being able to hold up to Coates' story still somewhat apply with this issue, the changing of narratives to Sharon Carter works wonders for the finale of the battle with Selene.

A fantastic installment for a new arc.

Another meaningful entry that not only takes time to dissect Steve's character, but that of Sharon Carter as well, proving Coates mastery of this part of the Marvel Universe.

Coates latest tale of Steve Rogers feels like it was ripped from the pages of Mark Gruenwald's legendary run on the character in the best of ways.

Coates and Kirk have given us one of the best issues of the storyline, "All Die Young" to date and it's a definite read for Cap fans.

Though Kirk's art seems like it could have used at least one more go-around, with some panels lacking some necessary detail, the overall effort is a solid one and an interesting addition to the creative team's run.

Sometimes an issue will need to feature "talking heads" to move along the plot, but ultimately, the issue is a tad slow in comparison to what we've seen from this run so far.

Another solid entry for the Star Spangled Soldier.

Cemetery Kids Don't Die is a strong start for this miniseries. It's not perfect, but it does a fantastic job of dragging readers into its world while giving comic and horror fans alike quite a bit of grotesque eye-candy along the way.

Ultimately, Cemetery Kids Don't Die is one of the horror comics to watch right now, and I'm anxious to see where the spooky story goes with its remaining issues, especially considering the skin crawling finale here.

The Cemetery Kids continue their trek to discover what exactly happened to their friend Pik, but the mini-series continues to suffer from the issue that previous issues had, with one big caveat joining the mix.

Ultimately, Cemetery Kids Don't Die feels like a case of needing a few more issues along with some additional characterization to help heighten the fear. I appreciate Cemetery Kids's originality and vision, but it could have delivered a much stronger punch when all was said and done.

At it's core, Champions #1 offers a new status quo for heroes that places them in a unique situation where the "kids" are fighting against the world, but the shakiness of the premise and the story possessing more holes than swiss cheese means it isn't able to hit a home run and pull readers in for the long haul.

While the art Di Meo and Quinn remains appropriately energetic for the adventures of these young heroes, Ewing's premise simply doesn't have the legs to justify the "betrayals", characterizations, and side stories. Unfortunately, it all feels like a wasted effort.

The final page of the story hints at some big revelations to come and though this is the best issue of the run to date, it still has a way to go.

"Outlawed" still feels more like an albatross than a boon for the series, and I look forward to seeing the creative team have a chance to dive into a new arc.

I'm personally looking forward to reading the new status quo being hinted at in the final pages of the issue, but "Outlawed" was just a dud from top to bottom.

While certainly not breaking the wheel, Champions' latest installment is promising some big things for the future of the young heroes and I certainly hope they are able to stick the landing.

While Champions is still trying to find its footing following the end of its own version of "Civil War", the story of Miles and Sam attempting to join Roxxon as interns in order to bring it down from the inside is a solid one.

The latest arc is able to step things up since the unfortunate "Outlawed" but still has a long way to go before it can become one of Marvel's best books.

The series needs a refresh and I hope we get one soon.

Champions hasn't been the best title in Marvel's roster, but this latest issue definitely is one of the better examples of the ten issue series to date.

The story by Bryan Edward Hill feels boilerplate to start, but it definitely has some strong bones to hold its premise above water.

While some of the characters might be a bit too "run of the mill", there's a fun story here to be sure.

Chariot remains a breezy, action packed adventure that is firing on all cylinders.

I have no idea where Chicken Devil is headed, but I'm anxious to find out following this thousand-mile-per-minute opening salvo.

I have absolutely positively no idea where Chicken Devil is going with its story, but I cannot wait to find out.

What really sells this issue is its final page, which is one of the most jaw-dropping endings in comics in 2021 and it's hooked me into seeing where this all goes even more. Do yourself a favor and check this one out.

Chicken Devil is an unexpected crime thriller that is one of the best to hit the world of comic books as of late, and I can't wait to see what other twists and turns that series has up its sleeve.

It's a strong start to the sequel of a strong series and definitely worth your time.

It's a single issue story that doesn't seem confident enough to let its tale breathe, and while it does offer a surprise or two, the reader might feel the story simply didn't have enough time to resonate when all is said and done.

Even if you are not currently a fan of Conan The Barbarian as a character, this issue may very well make you one.

Definitely one of Scout's best series at the moment.

Crashing is absolutely worth your time and you'd be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't give this one a look.

Crashing remains a major new entry in 2022's comic book roster and if it keeps up this pace, it'll definitely be a strong contender for one of IDW's best of the year.

Crashing remains one of my new favorite series in 2022 and here's hoping that it maintains this pace as the series continues.

The series tackling addiction, the harsh regiment we put doctors through, along with superpowers manages to knock it out of the park once again by tackling all three in this latest issue.

Crashing is a fantastic comic book and I hope we have the opportunity to revisit this world down the line.

Run, do not walk, when picking up this latest series from Jeremy Bastian at Boom Studios, as this is a fever dream you most certainly want to experience for yourself.

Great character work, solid bones for its structure, and art work that drags readers in makes for a fantastic opening salvo.

Ultimately, there are some interesting ideas presented here, especially when it comes to the idea of virtual death and how one person can see that as a godsend while another can be reduced to a weeping mess as a result. Arturo and Al-Beta are interesting enough on paper, but they don't feel as interesting as they could and maybe that's a result of the dialogue heavy writing imposed here.

Whether you want a sneak peak into Cyberpunk or simply a solid, bloody affair, Trauma Team has what you're looking for.

You Have My Word is shaping up to be the best story of the franchise to date and I look forward to see how it comes to a close.

With the final pages introducing an interesting twist, it certainly helps up the ante for the remainder of the series.

It's been a rock solid story so far and gives us a great look into the world of Cyberpunk!

Cyberpunk's latest game might be rife with problems, but its world certainly isn't, and You Have My Word is another testament of just how rich the universe can be.

Ultimately, Blackout just isn't able to hit the heights as its predecessors.

You Have My Word feels like the standard for what stories in the Cyberpunk world should be.

Trauma Team perfectly was able to tell a captivating story while capturing the world of Cyberpunk, and is definitely worth your time, whether you plan on playing the game or not.

There are certainly some rough edges here in its premiere issue, as Connor O'Sullivan finds himself in a tale of intrigue in taking money from the wrong people, but things move a little too quickly before really establishing its characters.

This is definitely a series that I want to see out until the end, but for now, it needs a spark to stand out from the rest.

Ahmed and Zagaria deliver an interesting outing for the Guardian Devil with this latest issue while also setting up quite the mystery for Murdock to handle in the imminent future.

Daredevil: Woman Without Fear works well as a story all its own, so even if you're not a fan of Elektra or Devil's Reign, this opening salvo might change your mind on both fronts. Don't let the banner of this being part of a crossover event stop you from reading one of the best comics of 2022 so far.

Zdarsky clearly has a good understanding of Elektra as a character, taking readers into her mind as she struggles with her new role, while throwing in a few twists that some might not expect coming from a former assassin who can be shrouded in secrecy.

The issue is action packed to start, giving us a fantastic battle between Daredevil and Kraven but unfortunately other elements in the story drag down the last issue of an otherwise stellar mini-series.

Ultimately, had the characterization been a bit stronger, this could have been a great outing for Elektra but it failed to capitalize on the new Daredevil's crime-fighting career.

This issue is a mixed bag, but at the end of the day, it's a fun experiment and if you've been following along with Dark Crisis, this is a worthy addition to it.

Presented as a look into the minds of the heroes that are making a stand against the Batman Who Laughs and his army of warriors from the Dark Multiverse, this stand-alone is a solid one if not a tad redundant.

This is most definitely a one-shot you should avoid.

If you want what is effectively a brand-new episode of Darkwing Duck, warts and all, this is the comic for you.

This second issue has plenty of laughs to be found, while also introducing some interesting elements when it comes to Darkwing Duck's future, while humorously revealing how Drake Mallard has been surviving over the years when his only job is to patrol St. Canard's skylines.

Luckily, Deibert and Lauro are moving away from this and injecting some interesting story beats into the life of Drake Mallard while bringing back familiar supporting characters.

Ultimately, this latest iteration of the terror that flaps in the night is solid enough, it's just lacking a certain oomph that the previous Boom Studios comic had.

Deibert has an excellent handle on all the characters of St. Canard, and this series feels tailor-made to die-hard Darkwing fans, though your mileage may vary if you weren't originally a fan of Disney Afternoons.

While there are some interesting swerves here, the sixth issue buckles under the weight of the sheer amount of characters that are dropped into the battle.

As mentioned in earlier reviews, Dynamite's Darkwing Duck both exceeds and lags in its adherence to the original series, but this latest issue certainly tends to stray more into the former than the latter.

In relying both on the original series' continuity and spirit, while injecting new humor into the arc, Darkwing Duck finds its footing where it stumbled in the past during its short Dynamite tenure.

It's a delight to see Drake bouncing off other characters here, hero or otherwise, and the storyline seems to be ramping up into some interesting directions.

Dynamite's Darkwing Duck had its ups and downs, but I'd be anxious to see more from the world of St. Canard.

DC vs Vampires is a decent enough start and it works well at following in the footsteps of DCeased in presenting a world where the heroes might not manage to save the day, I just wish it was able to do so in a manner that was less muddled in its presentation and threw in a bit more detail when it came to its backgrounds.

The finale might be a little hard to believe for some fans of the superhero, but the series revels in its dark humor and it's clearly building up to something big, though the journey definitely stumbles along the way at times.

The series has gotten better with every issue released and I look forward to see if this remains the case for Tynion, Rosenberg, and Schmidt.

DC Vs. Vampires paints an apocalypse of a different color and does well at having everyone guessing, including readers.

With the early issues setting up the pieces, it seems that the maxi-series is set to put into action its apocalyptic series of events that will surely see more heroes either transformed into creatures of the night, or dying in the heat of battle.

With the series ratcheting up the stakes, this is definitely a comic that you can sink your teeth into when all is said and done.

While the guilty pleasure series wherein heroes could be killed at any moment might have had a shaky start, it seems as if the comic pitting heroes against creatures of the night has found its footing.

If you're looking for a series to get you into the Halloween spirit, DC Vs. Vampires has hit a point where it's a worthy comic in this regard.

The sheer spectacle of this supernatural series works well in its favor and I look forward to seeing if the creators can stick the landing while throwing more unexpected curveballs at readers.

All the creators involved here, Tynion, Rosenberg, and Scmidt, are clearly having a blast and that fun is infectious, making for a solid penultimate issue.

Rosenberg and Googe are able to tell a solid enough story with this spin-off that falls under the weight of some of its continuity issues.

Ultimately, the issue feels weightless, as though its a story that didn't need to be told outside of the main series, making it a step below the other comic that explored Damian Wayne as a bloodsucker of Gotham City.

At $9.99, the single issue does justify its price with more good than bad here and if you feel like getting into the Halloween spirit with the DCU, you can't go wrong with Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun.

If you're a fan of any of these characters, and want a light-hearted romp that has quite a bit of hilarity in its pages, this is definitely worthy of your time.

If you're looking for a fun, breezy set of eight stories exploring big and small DC characters like, I Know What You Did Last Crisis is worth its $8.99 price tag.

Don't let the fact that the stories here might not be referenced in future crossovers or world-ending subplots, DC's Spring Breakout! is DC Comics at its best and has serious funs with its heroes and villains along the way.

A worthy first outing for those looking to have their costumed hero and villain fare presented with a dark and realistic edge.

This second issue doesn't quite live up to the first, but in the art department, it continues to be stellar.

While I'm crossing my fingers for more surprises, Dead Eyes does what it sets out to do with some of the best creators in the business today.

Dead Romans needs a big hook in moving forward and I'm crossing my fingers that there's more than meets the eye here.

Story-wise, it could use a little more "meat on the bone" but this feels like more of a feast for the eyes in this alternate history story. If you're a history buff or are looking for a solid story that plunks readers into the story of Rome, this might definitely be worth your time.

With the series only having six issues in total, Dead Romans needs something in quick order to spice things up.

Dead Romans is able to find some footing here, so hopefully, this issue is foreshadowing of what's to come and can maintain this level of quality.

Dead Romans has its ups and downs as a mini-series but there's certainly more to like here than the admonish.

Dead Romans is a recommend for those die-hard enthusiasts of Roman history, but doesn't have much else to offer the comic reading populace.

This anthology celebrates the thirtieth anniversary of the Merc With a Mouth, and while it doesn't break the wheel, it manages to tell a number of solid stories.

Ziglar and Antonio do a solid job here for Wade Wilson's swan song, setting up some interesting beats for the comic to take up in the future.

There is some good story hooks to mine from a scenario like this but for the team of mercenaries, it almost feels like it's business as usual. While Ellie makes for a solid protagonist, it feels like this move to kill Wade simply doesn't feel earned here.

The Energon Universe came out swinging and it continues to do so with each new series further fleshing out its universe.

While Jed MacKay has proved himself to have an excellent handle on Mr. Knight, Sabbatini on art feels somewhat misplaced in a story that is meant to be grim and gritty within a maximum-security prison. It's a minor quibble considering that the story really works here, but giving this tale a darker approach when it came to the art would have elevated it to new heights.

The premise of this story is essentially "what if Adam West's Batman and Frank Miller's Batman switched places" and while this issue does an adequate job of taking us into those two worlds, it misses out on the humor of the original series.

Still, if you enjoyed The Wrong Earth and were looking for another way to revisit these characters, this is just that and worth your time.

In a similar style as Get Out, Ready or Not, and You're Next, this series from creators Sarah Gailey and Pius Bak does a solid job of setting the stakes and weaving an ominous foreshadowing, but does little to set itself apart from a number of other properties that have ventured down a similar road before it.

The second issue of Boom's latest horror series manages to tell a far more compelling story than its first, primarily thanks to flipping expectations on their ear.

Eat The Rich has gotten progressively better with each passing issue, as it breaks away from the predictable status quo of its first issue and starts diving into how each of these characters is a unique beast of their own.

The more we are able to explore the characters in the quieter moments, the harder the horror hits and Eat The Rich certainly seems as its looking to end its story with a bang.

Eat The Rich feels like something that was dragged from the past days of EC Comics, and it's tough to tell whether this would have benefited from a longer run, or a shorter series overall. Regardless, as a whole, the series is a fun romp that takes some interesting ideas and projects a bloody tale that you can't help but feel a little satisfied with.

Creators Cullen Bunn and Dalibor Talajic offer up a one-shot that feels like a modern take on EC Comics' Tales From The Crypt and Vault of Horror, in the best way possible.

Elektra #100 just doesn't have a lot of gravitas to it when all is said and done, presenting some light and breezy stories that aren't able to really live up to the idea of this big anniversary issue.

Empyre: Avengers #0 might not be the best start to a comic book crossover event, but it's certainly an interesting one, warts and all.

Empyre is looking to be a summer blockbuster that plays on the strengths of the Marvel Universe, weaving continuity seamlessly into this event series.

This series is neck deep in continuity and this acts as both a strength and a weight around its neck.

While surprises in comics can certainly be a good thing, there are so many moving pieces in this crossover, that its becoming hard to keep track of them all.

With two issues left, I'm crossing my fingers that the mini-series can still turn itself around before the end.

Empyre as a whole is a mixed bag and, while it has interesting elements, such as Reed Richards slapping on Iron Man's armor, it is a crossover that ultimately falls far short of its promise.

The Cotati simply weren't unique enough to shoulder an event such as this and it showed.

Ewing and Schiti are able to capture character moments well enough, but Empyre weaves a story with weak cohesion and the final page will have you groaning that there may be a sequel in the works.

Garney is doing the work of his life here in the art department while Duggan nails the feelings of the characters and the supernatural shenanigans.

Marvel's free comic for 2020 gives us a look into the world of the X-Men and the Marvel Universe in the coming months, and while these are two entirely different stories, they both do a solid job of hinting at things to come.

There are some worthwhile moments to be found in this one shot, but not enough to outweigh its weaknesses.

If you're in search of a superhero comic that doesn't necessarily break the wheel, Williamson's run on The Flash may be worth your time.

If you're into some standard superhero fare, The Flash has you covered.

This issue is definitely elevated by the inclusion of Scott Kolins artwork, the penciller during arguably one of the most popular runs of the scarlet speedster with Geoff Johns' original adventures of Wally West.

The Rogues are still written in character here, albeit with a vastly different appearance thanks to Lex's "gift", but it could have been weaved into the story a bit stronger when all was said and done.

In the long history of superhero comics, it can sometimes be hard to find truly original story ideas, but the latest issue manages to do just that (for the Flash anyway).

This issue feels like something of an exposition dump to catch Allen up to speed and while the interesting new side effect of what happens when a speedster access a now defunct Speed Force is intriguing, the issue tends to run out of gas throughout.

It's a solid issue if hamstrung a little due to its crossover tie-in.

While this story line has had its ups and downs, it continues to be your standard super hero fare that does a good job of throwing interesting new challenges the Flash's way.

A serviceable ending to a crossover arc that probably would have been better left to the side.

While there are definitely some holes in the story, it's a fun romp that does a good job at diving into these rivals.

Definitely worth your time.

A definite must buy for any fan of the Flash.

Williamson and Duce provide another serviceable story here, but it certainly doesn't live up to the origin issue of Paradox, though it has quite the stinger.

Each issue has given Flash fans a banger of a final page and #752 remains no different. Great superhero fare!

A fun, fast paced super hero story!

The latest issue that continues Barry's war against Paradox has the added benefit of giving us the most unlikely of team ups as the Flash partners up with Eobard Thawne, The Reverse Flash. Williamson and Sandoval weave a story that will hopefully be seen as one of the best Flash stories of the modern Rebirth-Era of DC Comics.

It's clear that this story has a firm grasp on what makes Barry Allen, and his city, stand out from the other titans of DC Comics and I can't wait to see what the next story arc brings as it's clear Thawne has some big ideas for how he will menace Barry moving forward

As Joshua Williamson's run on The Flash sprints toward the finish line, we get another delightfully solid installment, with Eobard Thawne putting together his aptly named "Legion of Zoom".

As Williamson's run on The Flash sprints toward its finale, I'm certainly crossing my fingers that it will be seen as one of the best Barry Allen runs since Geoff Johns left the book.

A definite must for Flash fans and old school super hero fans alike.

Joined by Sandoval and Kollins on art duties, the latest issue is definitely a love letter to the Scarlet Speedster and fits nicely with the epic stories of the likes of Geoff Johns and Mark Waid.

If you're a Flash fan, this final arc of Williamson's is definitely worth checking out.

One of the best issues of Williamson's run so far and definitely worth your time.

A great conclusion to a great run.

This first entry is fine, but it could have used a stronger start for the scarlet speedster.

Ultimately, it feels like an homage to the adventures of yesteryear, with some solid art by Will Conrad, but it could definitely use a shot in the arm.

The run is still on its "sea legs" and while there are strong moments weaved throughout, this new take on Barry Allen has a long way to run.

Shinik and Conrad's first major story line for Barry Allen ends in a way that makes the whole affair feel like nothing more than a placeholder.

If you can find a brief refresher for the first part of this crossover, it is totally worth it as this makes for a strong entry.

The beginning of this new arc does a fantastic job of giving us a solid Flash adventure that will delight both Barry and Wally fans alike.

This storyline marks for a fresh take on the world of Central City, past, present, and future, and is a well-rounded take on DC's most famous speedster.

While the issue's story and art are top-notch, the final page has to be one of the best cliffhangers I can think of in recent memory and is almost worth the cost of admission alone. If you're a fan of the Flash, this is an easy buy.

This latest arc has been a celebration of all things Wally and an amazing storyline for the Flash.

Wally's new status quo as the Flash is an interesting one, but the Scarlet Speedster could definitely work on slowing down.

The story of Wally West butting heads with Heat Wave comes to a close with a satisfying conclusion, mostly going to show how the Scarlet Speedster runs the role of an "everyman" rather than attempting to punch his way out of a situation.

There's a lot of territory to explore between Wally and his children, Jai and Iris, and while there isn't much here in terms of super speed, we get a good look into what really makes West different from his mentor, Barry Allen. Adams has a keen grip on what makes Wally West work as a character, and while this issue isn't breaking the wheel, it makes for a good, and touching, superhero romp for the new Crimson Speedster.

It's clear that the creative team is having a blast here, but the story could have used just a bit more cohesion in terms of juggling the sheer amount of characters and elements at play here.

If I could recommend one Flash book this year, it would definitely be this issue.

The Scarlest Speedster's book remains good old-fashion superhero shenanigans and sometimes, that can be enough.

There are ways to balance the stories of the Silver Age with some modern flair and I feel that this latest story of the Scarlet Speedster wasn't able to live up to its predecessors, especially when it came to the side plot following Wally and Linda's kids.

A light affair that definitely highlights the strengths of DC's heroic roster.

Ultimately, the tie-in to Earth-3 events works here as a strength rather than a weakness and is definitely worth your time.

Jeremy Adams has a firm grip on the Scarlet Speedster of Central City and the relationships he holds, and I hope that Wally remains in the driver's seat for some time to come, along with artist Fernando Pasarin.

The Flash doesn't break the wheel but it sure does play to its strengths.

Comic book crossovers are sometimes something that a reader has to put up with when it comes to titles that they are following, as they can completely divert a story that was in the works for a certain hero. Luckily, such isn't the case with The Flash and Dark Crisis, as the latest issue is able to really play on the strengths of not just Wally West, but the Flash Family as a whole while Barry is bouncing around the multiverse.

There's a lot to like here in this multiverse excursion featuring the main speedsters of the Flash Family, especially when it comes to some fun concepts such as "Night Flash" and Barry Allen piloting a big rig in a Mad Max scenario.

Ultimately, there's plenty to enjoy here and it makes for a worthwhile tie-in to Dark Crisis.

The Flash family staying upbeat in a dire scenario works well here, and while there are some foibles with the artwork here, it's ultimately a worthy read if you're looking for how the hero community is operating in a world without the Justice League.

While The Flash might not be the very best series in DC's roster, it goes a long way toward preserving a sense of whimsy that might be missing from a lot of comics these days.

The Flash operates, to me, on the mantra of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and this latest issue is a breezy, fun-filled romp.

Adams has found this pitch perfect formula that can harken back to the past of the Flash while also carving out an interesting future, and I hope that Wally and his clan continue helming the book as the Flash continues to outrun any potential mediocrity.

It's an interesting premise with a compelling preliminary issue and I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

While the final page of the issue is a little eye-roll-inducing, with a villain that I can only describe as an antagonistic swiss army knife of tropes, it's another solid entry for the Scarlet Speedster overall.

One of the stronger issues so far, I'm anxious to see how Adams and Cruz bring this arc to a close and the lasting ramifications it has on Team Flash.

Adams continues the "One Minute War" by injecting some fantastic superhero action with this latest entry, much of it focused on Wally West's speedy daughter Irey, with an assist by the original Flash, Jay Garrick.

This issue does have some rough edges, especially when it comes to the jarring artistic shifts and the idea that all the damage the Fraction has done will be hand-waved. Still, I have to bring attention to the jaw-dropping final page which might be one of the biggest DC shockers of the year.

"The One-Minute War" isn't a perfect story, but it's an incredibly good one all the same.

While this latest issue doesn't break the wheel, I found myself smiling throughout and certainly the hilarity of introducing a character named "Reverse Grodd," Gorilla Grodd wearing the Reverse Flash costume for the record. Sometimes, making a reader smile throughout can be more than enough.

All the artist shifts this time around can be a little jarring but the latest Flash entry does well at capturing some major universe-trotting moments.

It's time for Jeremy Adams run on the Scarlet Speedster to cross the finish line and in this "Celebration of Wally West," you couldn't ask for a better swan song.

Now, with the latest annual of The Flash, readers receive both a deconstruction of Wally and the concept of generational-legacy heroes.

This Annual doesn't break the wheel for Keystone's Finest but it certainly strengthens it.

This latest annual does a fantastic job of giving us a story that not only looks at Barry Allen through the eyes of one of his classic villains in Captain Boomerang, but also gives an outstanding excuse to have the hero team up with the Suicide Squad.

Ultimately, there are some pieces of this moving tapestry that are worth eyeballing if you're a diehard Scarlet Speedster fan, have been digging Jeremy Adams' take on Wally West and family, and/or want to see more ancillary material to pad out the One Minute War, but at the end of the day, this does feel like material that isn't a necessity in understanding the grand picture of the latest Flash crossover.

Flashpoint Beyond #0 can be a little confusing, as its a sequel story to not just Flashpoint, but Doomsday Clock as well, but if you can wrap your mind around some of the continuity here, there is an extremely solid story from Johns and Risso.

As an opening salvo for the series, this introductory issue does well at setting the stakes and introducing us to the world of this time-traveling science fiction journey but does hit a stumbling block from time to time in chronicling the adventure of Dr. Lewis Moody and company.

Whereas the first issue had a strong enough start, this issue feels dragged down by choppy artwork along with worlds that seem not quite interesting enough to keep readers' attention.

It's a shame as the series' story is perhaps at its strongest here but there are simply too many artistic mistakes that stop Forever Forward from finding some solid footing along the way.

It's sad to see Free Agents stumble with its opening issue especially given the pedigree of its creators, but that's indeed what this alternate-reality superteam does. Free Agents #1 is unable to coalesce around some of its more interesting ideas, making it feel more like a missed opportunity than anything else.

Free Agents is a ship sailing toward disaster and I don't know if it can right its course.

A mixed bag of an issue, but there's some solid ground work in the stories it presents.

Perhaps future issues will make better use of the many, many elements used here, but this initial chapter needs a spit shine.

Though "Future State" might be temporary, it's stories like these that make one think that it could have easily fit in as the DCU's new status quo.

"Future State" as a whole has been quite interesting for the DCU, giving us unique takes on their expansive library, which makes it so unfortunate that Barry Allen and company seem to be on the lower side of the totem pole.

While the last page twist certainly promises big developments down the road, it isn't enough to shoulder what's lacking for the second issue overall.

The best issue of the series yet and if they can keep up this tempo, IDW may have a hit on their hands.

While the new focus is fairly interesting, it isn't nearly as entertaining as what came before it.

While the premise of the series has been hit or miss so far, this latest installment puts fantastic use to the idea of this new environment, creating the best issue of the series to date.

While there is one heck of a finale that gives us the arrival of one of the biggest "Joes" in the franchise's history, it's not enough to make this latest installment reach new heights such as the previous issue focused on the Dreadnoks!

This latest issue focuses squarely on Scarlet and her issues with PTSD, weaving the tale of how she rejoined the group, making for a thought provoking and fun issue.

Definitely not the issue to start with if you're looking to dive into this new world for G.I. Joe.

With nine issues down, it's definitely time to start bringing the pieces together into a cohesive story line. A fun ride, but one that needs a tune up.

While having an overarching story line might be a bit more engrossing at this point, this makes for another fine installment of the series.

Even if you never got into the original series and have never read about Genis-Vell before, there's plenty here to love.

Whether you're a fan of Genis-Vell or not, this comic is definitely worth your time.

This new Captain Marvel feels like a breezy extension of the Genis-Vell book that came before and while it doesn't explore new territory when it comes to the characterization and plotting of the previous series, it feels like readers who loved this iteration of the character can return for a new adventure while also allowing for new readers to buckle up for the ride.

There's not a lot new here but the pieces on the board are being set up for the grand finale of the mini-series. This feels like the weakest issue, mostly thanks to the overall lack of characterization, as the dialogue seems to take a back seat to the events that need to fall in a specific order.

The final issue of Captain Marvel feels like a farewell letter from Peter David to the character that he helped forge for Marvel decades ago.

Ghost Rider: Final Vengeance #1 is a strong enough start for this new era of the Spirit of Vengeance. There are a few dents in the cycle that stop it from being a timeless classic in Ghost Rider's arsenal but there's enough from Percy and Kim to have readers on board.

Blaze and his ally also felt like a bit of an afterthought here, but still Final Vengeance is working well on revving the engines of an interesting premise.

The new Spirit of Vengeance remains one of the most interesting takes on the character in some time, and it feels like the series is starting to shift to its higher gears.

There's still plenty to enjoy here with this new take on the Ghost Rider, but it could use a bit more gas in the tank to help it cross the finish line into greatness.

Ultimately, this latest issue feels like it is sling shotting through some big events that could have used a little time to breath, especially when it came to Robbins' comeuppance.

Percy and Kim's time with Parker Robbins as the Hood comes to an end and while the mini-series' finale does a solid job of giving everyone their due, I can't help but feel the legs of the idea didn't get time to stretch.

If younger readers are looking for a scare, better to crack open any of the old novels rather than this wanting tale.

This is most definitely a "swing and a miss".

The latest issue of this series set in the universe created by R.L. Stein manages to turn things around by throwing in an interesting twist, and while it still suffers from some of the problems that plagued it in earlier installments, it definitely received a shot in the arm here.

Having a story tailored for children doesn't mean slacking on the essentials and this spooky story could have been much more.

Steve Orlando puts a bow on his supernatural team book that brings together the "monsters" of Gotham City with a solid final entry.

The latest take on Gotham City Sirens doesn't flip the script on the trio but it does strengthen what works about these three popular femme fatales.

The character moments and energetic action works exceptionally well here and now that we're halfway through, this latest mini-series will work as a solid addition to the Sirens' resume.

Sirens doesn't break the wheel but it relies on what works and it does it well.

War Journal feels like a great new introduction to John Stewart while working with a new status quo for the Lanterns that ups the ante for the superhero.

Johnson and Montos have a girm hold on the character of what many consider to be the greatest Green Lantern and with a series like this, they're helping to prove it.

War Journal is a series worthy of one of the greatest Green Lanterns so far.

War Journal makes for a solid entry in following a Green Lantern who doesn't get the spotlight nearly as much as he should.

Ultimately, I do wish the storyline from the Revenant Queen was a bit stronger, but the series' heart remains as strong as a Green Lantern battery here.

There are more than a few interesting angles in John Stewart's solo series, I just wish that the comic would focus far more on those angles specifically moving forward.

There are many moving pieces in War Journal but they are moving in unison to create the best Green Lantern comic book available today. Here's to hoping that John will have his own solo series for some time to come.

War Journal remains my favorite Green Lantern comic book on the market today and here's hoping that John continues to fly high far into the future.

This is a must buy for fans of either character, though if you're in the dark for either Tarzan or Groo, you might want to miss this one.

Groo Meets Tarzan does a very solid job of linking together the wild worlds of both of these beloved comic characters, but it misses the mark when it comes to the bookends that document the surreal adventures of creators Mark Evanier and Thomas Yeates.

Ultimately the wrap-around story simply doesn't feel charming enough to really propel the necessity of it, and I can only imagine that it would have normal readers scratching their heads when it comes to the "inside baseball" talk of the comic book industry.

At the end of the day, this series is for die-hard fans of both characters, but might be confusing to those outside of the fanbase.

Hellverine is a roller coaster ride that isn't afraid to explore the darker supernatural sides of the Marvel universe and it works well at shining a stronger light on both Logan and Daken.

The future is bright for the many Spirits of Vengeance riding the backroads and Hellverine is a surprisingly worthy addition.

The issue is packed with some memorable alternate takes on Marvel favorites, but it is still a little rough around the edges.

A solid opening issue that was definitely rough around the edges at times, but could prove to be a worthy entry into Image's library.

While there are some interesting elements in here, there is far too much-holding Home back from being one of the greats.

There are some strong character beats from the family-focused on, but the threats facing them need more fleshing out and the story just can't quite seem to find its footing.

Home feels a bit too long in the tooth and is the definition of a mixed-bag.

Everything is wrapped up just a bit too tidy and should the series return, I hope it can iron out some of the many flaws of this first series.

A great venture into the world of magic and a comic that is definitely worth your time for the visuals alone, let alone solid story telling.

I Breathed A Body might not roar out of the gate, but it is definitely prepared to roar past the finish line thanks to the strong bones of its story and an abundance of creepy visuals.

While there definitely is a worthy mystery wrapped in this comic series, it needs a shot in the arm to really help it stand out from the pack when it comes to truly compelling horror comics.

Thompson and MacDonald are weaving an interesting story here, without a doubt, but it could have used far more time devoted to Zoe and the other players.

The mini-series is not a perfect story, but it certainly does capture the sheer terrors of the concepts presented.

Andy MacDonald takes a bow. With plenty of twists and turns, the mini-series is definitely in the running for one of the most unnerving comics of 2021.

A must-read for horror and comic book fans alike.

Infinite Frontier is a mixed bag, with the final revelation of the comic feeling like retread ground. This issue acts as a marketing experience to sell readers on the future of DC Comics' stories, but it's at best a good entryway that could have been great.

The issue itself might be a bit much to ask with a $10 price tag, but there are definitely some gems to be found in this 80-page giant, though I think it might have been easier to swallow with a smaller page count.
