Come Into Me has an eccentric but believable concept and its ideas are enhanced in both the dialogue and art. If you want a unique story with undertones of horror then I suggest you pick this comic up. It is a unique story and the more I think about it the more I realize how emotionally horrifying the set up is.

Writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo have taken us on quite an epic journey that explores the lore of the DC universe by referencing Grant Morrison's work and even brought into play Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. With that said, this blockbuster of a comic does not slow down the pace when it reaches the end. The final issue delivers on action, a unique story, and most importantly, heart.

Overall, this comic was pitched as a horror comic and although it focuses more on the real horrors of today the comic seems to promise a more supernatural setting for the next issue. If you're okay with social commentary and putting horror on the backburner for now then I suggest picking this issue up on May 16th as it shows promise to pick up the pace and fast.

Action Comics #1000 shows two sides to the character's spectrum: the old-fashioned and the contemporary. Celebrating both the past and present, most stories will be heartwarming, but others may miss the mark. Fortunately, it is the last story by Brian Michael Bendis that proves Superman is in good hands.

Aquaman may be treading in its own water, but the comic is still as enjoyable from the issue that started King Rath's rule. With consistent artwork and storytelling, this epic still shows signs as being an essential read for Aquaman and comic book fans.

All in all Babyteeth #10 is jam-packed with action and narrative. Each character in the series gets equal page time, but the real impactful moments go to Sadie and her son. Despite Kent being the next dark lord, this issue does not lose focus on the love she has for him.

Continuing after an outstanding first issue, Come Into Me furthers its horrific concept with both art and story structure. This title doesn't appear to be slowing down the pace in any way as the consequences become increasingly terrifying and paramount.

Aquaman Jabberjaw Special #1 is a fun and pleasing issue with a decent bonus story about heroism. The Special's message of desegregation is simple, but it shines with adding humor and compassion.

Goosebumps: Download and Die! still succeeds in creating an authentic mood for young teenagers, but it would appear the comic is saving the monsters for its last issue. I can only hope that the finale is filled to the brim with the creatures that this comic has set up.

Manifest Destiny may have put the brakes on the creatures for now, but that hasn't stopped the series from telling an exciting story. In light of this, the series needed attention on other characters other than Lewis and Clark and this issue proved to satisfy this need.

Overall, this issue may have lacked with any real action as it focuses on Bizarro's inner struggle. But this struggle is handled well by adding emotion on both the dialogue side and art side. From here on out we can see the main conflict, Bizarro's baleful intelligence, in recent issues start to be confronted.

An enigmatic first issue that touches on topics such as faith and skepticism, Relay #1 is a unique sci-fi comic that will bring readers back to learn more about this world.

All things considered, this comic has grabbed my attention and will hopefully grab yours. If you are looking for something that stands out among the plethora of titles coming out then I suggest you check out She Could Fly. To sum it up, it is a peculiar story about an even more peculiar girl.

Despite any faults, The Man of Steel #2 is a step up from the previous issue. Bendis is able to depict Superman through his actions and words that feel more natural rather than forced. Along with this, the flashback scenes and current scenes that involve the villain Rogol Zaar have me anticipating his and Superman's confrontation as this buildup appears to be working for the series.

With that in mind, we have been strung along for two issues in this mini-series. Although Issue #3 may be guilty of continuing this habit, it did so in a suspenseful fashion that has me yearning to read the next installment.

All in all, the newest installment of The Man of Steel may be Bendis' best issue to date for the title. It shows Superman as a character made out of flesh and blood all while being enhanced by Maguire's art.

The issue felt a bit short as the characters make their way out of the dark multiverse and then next thing I know it is over. Luckily, the issue ended on an interesting note as we discover that the characters are bonded to one another due to their time spent trying to take the probe off of Tom Strong's distress signal.

In regards to the art, it does fit the general tone of the comic and each character has a unique style and look which makes them stand out amongst each other. Also, the portrayal of the school to the character's households are authentic while the colors have a nice vibrant look which helped when the story felt a little slow.

With a small insight into the Creeper's past and an interesting but incidental setup, this comic will be enjoyable for fans of the series. However, and I may be nitpicking, the Creeper's choice of words at the end did not seem to fit the predator's persona. With that said, time will tell if the creators are able to deliver a frightening tale while not losing sight of the Creeper's characteristics.

Overall, New Challengers appears to be a promising start for an adventure comic. You feel as if you're on this journey with the team ready to travel through the unknown. However, this issue doesn't get you familiar with the team members that you'll be on this journey with nor does it give you a reason as to what the purpose of the adventure is, but there lies the mystery that might hook readers to come back for more.

This first issue is an enjoyable welcoming for Sonic to IDW and although it doesn't do much it still delivers on the classic Sonic that most of us grew up with. However, I would've still liked to see something fresh in this comic, something that could've hooked me better to pick up the second issue.

Overall, this issue is visually great with the dynamic art and the dialogue weaved into the action. If you want to see an array of Sonic attacks and are a fan of Amy Rose then I suggest picking up this issue, but keep in mind that the story will come off as redundant even though the action is turned up a notch.

The Curse of Brimstone #2 is a step up from the previous issue with a more fleshed out environment and a slight improvement on the main character's demeanor. But despite these improvements, this comic is still struggling to make a statement on its rural setting while not forgetting to make the characters just as important.

The Immortal Men overly plays on the unexpected hero, but makes up for it with an intriguing group of heroes who are on the defense. With that said, this first issue may bring readers back to learn more about The Immortal Men and the stakes at risk, but they may find themselves not caring for the main protagonist.

The Immortal Men #2 enriches the team members but sacrifices the attention given to the main protagonist. There is still more to be done to flesh out this team and the stakes at risk, and I still have hope that this comic will do just that in the future.

The Immortal Men #3 serves as a much-needed break from the action as it focuses on characters. However, I still don't feel any connection or care for the main protagonist, but regardless it was still beneficial to learn about The Immortal Men. I am just not sure if it is too late for me to feel connected to these characters since the story is starting to feel slightly bland.

With all that being said, The Man of Steel #1 sacrifices any outstanding or invigorating moments in order to affirm Superman holds onto his virtuous characteristics. The result is Bendis assuring fans that he knows what Superman stands for while any exhilarating parts, in which we got a taste for in Action Comics #1000, will come into play later.

Like I said before, some fans may want to continue reading Bendis' Superman after reading this issue since it sets up several factors that still need answering. However, some fans may feel indifferent or cheated about the events that folded out since this issue serves as nothing but a cliffhanger. All in all, The Man of Steel is a prelude for Superman and Action Comics, a prelude that caught my interest but could have done more.

Although The Terrifics has done a good job of balancing characters, this issue would have succeeded further if it spent more time focusing on Phantom Girl. With that considered, this issue's greatest strength begets its greatest weakness.

The final issue of Goosebumps Download and Die! presents its homage to Goosebumps' monsters as a small threat when they deserved more. Putting my biases aside for Goosebumps, I want to appreciate this kid-friendly comic, but I can't ignore the flaws that outweigh my admiration for the series. Therefore, I still suggest this comic for kids, but if you are looking for a nostalgic read then you might want to look elsewhere.

This comic may have done little for me, but I still believe this story has potential to pick up as Joe takes on the role of Brimstone. I might still recommend this comic for those that are intrigued by a darker DC character, but you still won't get much of that here. Which is why the second issue needs to visually be stimulating, and Joe needs to be likable as Brimstone. If the next issue is able to make up for the dull town and pitiable character then there still might be fuel for the fire.

Although I am not the biggest fan of the artwork, the story is trying to work its way to something better than what it started with. We begin to feel for the protagonist as opposed to him coming off as a sullen nobody. If this comic is able to keep working towards what issue #3 establishes, then the series might see an improvement, but as of now, I can't say I would recommend this comic with any conviction.

As much as I've enjoyed this series so far, The Man of Steel #5 did not advance that enjoyment. However, I can see some people liking this penultimate issue since it does set things up for a conclusion. Albeit, I don't think those that enjoyed it can ignore the unfinished artwork accompanied by the draggy story progression in this one.
