Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (2016) #1
Mar 8, 2016 |
The art by Prasetya is nostalgia to the extreme as the classic characters I have seen in my childhood have literally come alive in the pages of this issue. The classic characters we all love from Ernie to Bulk and Skull are all there with a more modernized look, well except Ernie's hawaiian shirts. The modern look of this book really sets the tone for what we can expect, making the Power Rangers of the 90's relevant in 2016 and beyond. The Power Rangers look 100% identical to their tv counterparts, which adds a lot to this book reinvigorating my love and childhood following of these, "teens with attitude." |

Robin: Son of Batman #8
Jan 22, 2016 |
Damien's journey to redeem himself for the Year of Blood is the most epic quests a fallen hero can accomplish. Through Ray Fawkes writing you get a feel for how important it is to Damien to fix all his wrongs and the weight of how heavy regret can feel. Future issues will hopefully hold the answers Damien is looking for and make him the best Robin he can be. The great use of storytelling with a clear message, action, and that Damien humor we love the most gives this book a solid 9/10. |

Porter, Don Ho, and Moore's art in this issue is incredibly detailed, it makes Clark and Steve Trevor look like they have both been through the ringer but persevering to accomplish their goals. |

I wish Tomasi and Janin would do their own run on Superman because the Superman I have been waiting for 50 issues has finally shown up just before he lives his "final days." |

Jae Lee's art in this issue is absolutely amazing, it is the best I've seen of him. It could be the Superman fan in me but wow, Lee's art on point this issue. I have to praise his art because his sketching of characters and the shadows he plays off creates a contrast of why Clark Kent Superman is a hero of the light. He shows great strength with shadows, especially when a certain Bat comes into play. The last page, as I said above, is one of the greatest scenes I have seen in comics in a very long time. |

This issue of Batgirl was fun, adrenaline filled, funny and never left me bored for a second. I do feel the story is part of a much greater arc because much did not happen just seeds of things to come in the future. Great art and action that seems like it should be a storyboard for quite the movie. I can't wait to know what the corruption that is growing in Gotham will come to be as Batgirl is definitely onto something and whatever that corruption is, it better watch out! |

Feb 6, 2016 |
Yes! Babs Tarr is back on art! Tarr's art fits this book so well because she makes the characters look fun with a slight homage to Bruce Timm's art. The art flows from panel to panel from dialogue to action so smoothly this could be a storyboard for a movie or tv show. Great art to fit the story, I can't wait for the next issue hoping that it is Babs Tarr again. |

Babs Tarr's art is so fresh, which is fitting for Batgirl. Since Stewart and Fletcher took over, especially with her new modernized look, it suits her character very well. A big part of this story for me is the art and I dread whenever Tarr is not doing it. She definitely deserves to be drawing the world of Batgirl for a very long time. The fun atmosphere of Batgirl is one of the big reasons I keep coming back and "oh boy!" the colors used in Tarr's art enhances it to a whole other level! |

Jan 31, 2016 |
The art inside this issue by Weeks, Cariello, and Hanna is drawn rather well and I really love the ability to see the character's expressions throughout the issue. LIke i said earlier about Superman's humanity, I need to feel it during a Superman story and seeing the story unfold on the character's faces is half the battle. The art looks like I am watching the Superman movie with Christopher Reeve but the characters are different, which is understandable given the story but the scope created by the artists is beautiful. The colors are fantastic and I only wish to see that red, blue, and yellow but this is a different Superman tale so it's understandable that given his dark outfit that the world around him can't be as bright and shiny as the metropolis I am used to. |

Art by Neil Edwards is greatly detailed and is quite similar to the artwork of Lee Weeks. My favorite art by Edwards in this issue is his depiction of Batman, heavy shadows and fluid action makes this Batman an accurate image of how I see Batman in my own mind. |

The story is incredible, the art is incredible, even with the filler third plot line that takes away from the main story. This is the only reason this book is not getting a perfect score. This is a fantastic series and I can't wait for the last 6 issues to see what role these characters will play in rebirth. |

The art inside the book by Kuder and Morey is very detailed on each character's face and they make Vandal Savage look like a master manipulator who you don't want to mess with. The art of Superman with his power's back literally had me cheering because we are one step or should I say an issue closer to having our Superman back. |

Another great piece to the puzzle that is The Final Days of Superman. This is turning into one of the best Superman stories I have ever read. The effort placed in this issue, like the two that precede it, are keeping this Superman fan happy and wanting more. |

This is not as fantastic as Superman #51, but for the second part of a very interesting story, the emotion impact is still there as we are truly witnessing the last days of Superman. Tomasi is able to keep the momentum from the first issue going and not losing a beat by switching from one great artist to another. As a Superman fan, I am so excited for what this story is offering and only get more excited for each issue of this story. |

The art by Schiti looks great in this issue and has become the art I think of when I think of the Guardians of the Galaxy. A look that is definitive in its own way and not too complicated helps the story and art mesh into one which is how every comic should be meshed to tell a story. |

The art by McFarlane and Larsen is very detailed in scope, which looks like it should be played out on the big screen. There is no subtle difference between McFarlane and Larsen's art which makes the journey of this story more complete when there is no hiccup in art. The rage and ferocity of Spawn and his motivation to save Wanda plays out exactly on his face with the importance of saving the life of the woman he loves. |

Mar 2, 2016 |
The art by Larsen and McFarlane is crisp and epic in nature. Spawn looks amazing as he is literally fighting swiftly through hell. Color are so good maybe the best I have ever seen in a comic. The fighting style is raw and has that badass rage that a character like Spawn should possess. |

All-New All-Different Avengers #4
Jan 31, 2016 |
Asrar's art inside this book is very fluid throughout the entire issue. His character drawings look more friendly and less intimidating than previous renditions when the story was more serious. Asrar compliments Mark Waid's writing because the point of this new team of Avengers is to make the team more diverse and fun. The action sequences are easy to follow and epically done playing to each character's strengths with their own powers. I thought his drawing of Falcon-Cap and Thor kissing was not as epic as Alex Ross's version, but it still was worth seeing fleshed out through the story and the rest of the team's reactions were priceless! The colors by Dave McCaig is everything I could hope for in a comic book. Rich saturated colors that makes every hero part of this team really stand out amongst each other with their individual color palette that looks great to the human eye! |

The art by Asrar is on par with his previous issues with the crispness of each hero with distinct lines and great action sequences. The colors by McCaig look amazing as they bounce of every different character in this story. The colors are all full and bright and really help Asrar's art take off on every panel. |

The story and art worked very well together for the most part to make a cohesive story full of action, some romance and betrayal. Great story elements and a fun twist on fights we have seen in the past. I am very excited for issue 3 and can't even imagine how intense this final year of Injustice will be but can only hope with the momentum this series has been driving through with that it will be a story unlike any other. |

Feb 15, 2016 |
The art by Redondo has a very distinct look with dark shadows and makes the characters look epic in scope. It is always awesome to see battles with characters that wouldn't normally fight each other but the grand scale of this art pulls it off! The colors by Rex Lokus show good contrast from characters that live in the shadows vs the characters that live in the light. Great color palette and some of the best action in a comic book portrayed by Redondo and Lokus. |

The art by Miller and Coello is epic in nature with great powerful stances by all character's in this issue especially when it comes to motivation in some character's eyes versus the malice in other's. Both artists great use of shadows throughout this story makes it feel like a showdown for the ages. |

Mar 8, 2016 |
The art by Derenick is good when it's non-zoomed in panels because the detail, especially in the character's faces, are a little out of focus when a character is up front and center. The art still fits into this story as many of Derenick drawn characters look similar to the art throughout this whole story. The art by Redondo is awesome and it's the art I was looking forward to in this book. The characters look detailed and the emotions layers that every character is dealing with, is right at face value. Readers don't have to look too deep into the art to figure it out. Redondo's Bizarro looks incredible. The art from these two looks fantastic together and it definitely suits an issue that needed character emotion and drive against one another! |

The art by Coello and Miller is actually really good for how much I disliked the issue. The art fits the story well, especially for this heavy action beat book. All the characters look great and don't share the same faces, which shows these artists are doing great work with their character designs. The art of this book saved this issue from a 3 of 10 rating. Definitely hoping next issue the story and art are both fantastic, like I know it can be! |

This is the best issue of Injustice I have read this year. The story wasn't epic but it was emotionally driven and most importantly fun. It adds to the hype and momentum that this story needs to make it all the way to the finish line. |

The art by Charlie Adlard is some of the best art i have seen in a comic book. To be consistent with character's for 100 issues or so is a great feat, anytime i see a character on the page i know who it is not to say that's impossible with any other book but i can look at the face of the characters and not think that it could be someone else because it is 100% that person. |

Mar 7, 2016 |
So every issue so far on this website I have reviewed the art of Charlie Adlard so instead of talking about this strengths with his art, I figured I would go over the highlights of his art in this issue. There are two spotlights from this issue I will discuss; One is when Gabriel is target practicing on zombies for the upcoming battle. A Clearly inexperienced shooter but as Charlie Adlard's art creates tension for the reader as you don't know if he can even handle shooting zombies, the larger panels shown for this is truly haunting as some good ole zombies are heading right towards the front of the page. Second, is a certain empty jail cell at the end of the issue; the panic created in this scene is chilling as a certain spiked bat loving prisoner finally makes his escape after two years of imprisonment. |

Extraordinary X-Men #6
Jan 31, 2016 |
The art inside this book compliments Humberto Ramos's art, but it absolutely is not his art inside this book. One of my favorite reasons for getting this series was Ramos's art because it reminds me that the X-men are a fun team and yes, they can be serious but the playfulness and extraordinary colors in this series just makes it all fun. It was a tad disappointing that Ramos art was not inside this book, not to say that Ibanez did a horrible job but the art in this book does work well with all of the characters. I did have to chuckle that he made Logan's face look like an very old Hobbit. For an artist to step in and take care of the art for an issue, Ibanez did a decent job. I hope Ramos is back on the inside art next issue but would still be alright if Ibanez returned again. |

The story is okay, the art is above average so it's not the worst comic I have ever read. I do wish this issue could offer more like the rest of the series has. Still going to finish this series to figure out the madness of this arc. I'm not confident that the book being out of King and Seeley's hands, we will see the conclusion the fans are looking for. |
