Books of Magic (2018) #3

Jan 4, 2019

Sadly it simply isn't good enough to fill the massive boots left by past Books of Magic comics. The art is lazy at one point, although overall it is good, the story doesn't advance that much, which is a shame as the characters are truly great, especially Mad Hettie.

Detective Comics (2016) #981

May 27, 2018

Detective Comics #981 does its job, yet it is difficult to praise much else. It feels lacking in terms of story, and the art is jarring at times. It still serves as a solid a conclusion to Tynion IV's run.

The Black Order #3

Jan 11, 2019

Landy continues to explore classic themes in The Black Order, all the while examining the characters and pushing them in surprising directions. This is supported by good art, which goes into great art when it touches characters who aren't too human, and excellent composition.

Venom (2018) #2

Jun 18, 2018

Venom successfully delivers an interesting story, supported by art which is impressive. It simply stops just short of being great.

The Dreaming (2018) #5

Jan 10, 2019

Spurrier writes an emotional story supported by exceptional narration. This is aided by exceptional art and colouring.

Doomsday Clock #5

Jun 1, 2018

A solid issue, with amazing art by Gary Frank, and a good story by Geoff Johns. However, its characters act out of characters at times, and the suspension of disbelief is broken more than once.

Mister Miracle (2017) #9

Jun 15, 2018

With a story that stops short of being perfect, and art which glows, what can one say?
