Champions (2020) #1
Oct 7, 2020 |
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. |

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. |

Eat The Rich #1
Aug 18, 2021 |
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. |

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. |

Even if you're not a fan of the Amazon, these stories might change your tune as not only do the stories seem timeless, but they are able to use the "Black and Gold" aspect of the series to great effect. I'd be hard-pressed to think of which issue is the best, but the series remains a classic. |

Mark Waid truly has created something special with the "World's Finest" line and I hope that the excellent ending of Teen Titans, and the issues proceeding it, will open the floor to more modern takes on DC's Silver Age. |
