Old Lady Harley #5
Mar 1, 2019 |
While it wasn't necessarily my cup of tea, I will say that I was able to easily and quite quickly get through the adventures of Harley and her little band of team mates comprised of Catwoman, Red Tool, and with appearances with some long time allies like Killer Croc. For me, if you're a Harley Quinn fan who wants to see her written with more chances to be human and really understand the depths of her disappointing and abusive relationship with Joker, this little 3 out of 5 star title might just be up your alley. |

While it's not really something that I particularly would pick up on my own, I do think that this niche little comic offers up enough that fans of the franchise itself will love delving into it and it earns a solid 3 out of 5 stars from me for all its efforts. |

I'm hoping that everything leads up to Jonah playing an active part in the future. I think that small addition to the boys' team because it would be nice to see some guidance for them out in the middle of impending doom. If anything, I think that this little sidestep from main action is worth checking out, especially since I feel like Jonah Hex a little extra oomph that this 3.5 out of 5 star writing needs. |

Age Of X-Man: X-Tremists #1
Feb 27, 2019 |
Those who threaten this balance, as we've seen in the Age of X-Man: Alpha comic, are quickly dealt with by excommunication from society. Their counterparts are then taken to cerebro to have their memories readjusted so that little to no remanent of what might have actually transpired remain. It's during a routine crackdown on a pair of these “criminals” that we learn something that shakes the team to their core and leaves them unsure of how to approach the future. |

Anthem (2019) #1
Feb 20, 2019 |
Although this title is something outside of my wheelhouse given that I hadn't played the game itself, if you're a fan I always suggest delving into the back history of some of the worlds that you might actively play as a part of. I'll give Anthem's first issue a 3.5 out of 5 stars for the beautiful prose, the elegant action panels that surround you, wrap you up in a world far different from the ones we're part of, and the beautiful bold colors that fill its interiors and make your eyes wish for more. |

Still, it's good enough that the writing itself should make up for what exactly I had qualms with that really isn't that big of a deal at all. For me, Black Widow earns a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. I look forward to seeing what Jen and Sylvia and their team do next as my love for one of my favorites rekindles itself. |

Feb 22, 2019 |
As one would assume, it's quite dangerous to go traipsing about in the darkness of mystery with little to no idea as to what is really happening. I won't mention much but I will say that there were a few panels that managed to coax a shocked little gasp from me when I was reading this issue. In my opinion, there is a enough wonderfully written tension to warrant delving further into any upcoming issues. There's enough trauma to perhaps sway someone from one side of something the other. Couple that with the fact that one of things that occurs is such a high-profile event that outsiders from the family itself might get involved and the tension built there gnaws on you enough to check out this 3.5 out of 5 little Zenescope gem. |

Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History #1
Mar 6, 2019 |
The biggest question I have for this title is that if Frank actually went back in time to right wrongs, all while acknowleding the fact that his travels created time paradoxes, how will this effect the future and who the man actually will become? Is this perhaps the reason why Cosmic Ghost Rider ends up "destroying" the Marvel Universe as we've known it so far? I can only guess how things will unfold in the next issue of this 3,5 out of 5 surprisingly human little title. |

Ironheart #3
Feb 18, 2019 |
The realistic dialog and ability to openly address the trauma sustained by our protagonist in this issue really are what shines in this issue. It's isolative nature ultimately leaves us hoping that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for those who might feel the same even in real life. I really enjoyed the mix of true to life reactions that Eve L. Ewing writes, along with the wonderful art by Luciano Vecchio. Even the colors by Matt Milla are appreciated, as a lot of the palette in this title reflect the flagship yellow and red that we've come to love in Stark Tech itself. I rate this issue a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars and look forward to seeing how our hero works out all her issues to become a more complete version of herself. |

Despite the warning, and possibly to the chagrin of our guest in the title, Riri manages to deduce where she needs to go on the next part of her journey despite the location being secretive (and the effort of her companion to conceal this information from her.) I'm wondering exactly how much the warning she was given will be part of foreshadowing in the future, but for now, I can suggest this lovely 3.5 out of 5 star title to anyone who has been a fan of Iron Heart. |

I give this issue a 3.5 out of 5 stars. It was a delightfully different read from what I had currently expected; something that easily challenged me and what I thought I know without being too overly wordy or preachy. I'm not exactly sure what the next issue will bring for myself or Amanda, now that she's confronted her actions from a new angle, but I'm anxious to see how everything plays out. Do you agree? |

Admittedly, there's a little bit of nostalgia in the art by Alexandria Huntington that is punctuated by the colors that Laura Langston drips onto the pages. Somehow, the art itself transcends the pages to become something more. I can literally feel myself watching a movie in my mind. |

I'm not sure if the second bit is intentional but I have a feeling it might be. Especially since a big fight seems to be on the horizon for everyone still left behind. I'd assume that this will either bring the newer squad together or further tear them apart. Especially when considering that training earlier that day had been met with a few hiccups. Distractions. Either way, I suggest checking out what the future holds for this 3.5 out of 5 title. Especially since a lot of the writing for favorites here seems to widely differ from how they'd previously been written. |

If you've been following this title, this issue is it. You need to read it, if only for the peace of mind. It's necessary if you want closure, much like these characters deserve. It's the blend of story and art lend itself to this charming 4 out of 5 star issue (pausing here to state that Kaldera is now my new favorite character because of this) that will only make you remember why exactly you love these fledgling heroes finding their footing so much. |

If you're a person who has a child that is getting into comics or enjoys family story time then I highly suggest this title for this purpose. Especially since it's quality content that I give a 4 out of five stars, not only for its wonderfully written and illustrated self, but because it lends us a mouthpiece to speak to our youth about important issues without being overly pushy. |

Outside of the ongoing central conflict, the gang's interaction with Bluster and Robbie also allow adults to touch on deeper thematic issues. Such as how sometimes they way that we see ourselves on the inside might not always reflect that which others see on the outside. This 4 out of 5 star title allows us to confront so many issues that might be important to kids growing up these days while not really intruding upon our adult sensibilities if we're merely reading for our own enjoyment. |

The brilliant part of this title is the fact that we're subjected to both sides of Hal's story. We're left to deduce for ourselves about whether or not who he seems to be is actually who he is or if there's something larger at work. For me, the idea of figuring this out along with the gritty realism of the title itself is enough for me to want to continue to read on. |

The brilliance of this title comes from the subtle walk into metaphor, as opposed to just dropping heavy words into laps of those who hadn't quite understood what might be the true topic of conversation. It's a thought piece not just for open dialogue with kids, but for adults themselves. I think that it's important sometimes for such things to be presented more like a passing thought that's not preachy; more just a gentle reminder that there are other things going on. |

It's a quirky little read from the purveyors of different content that truly sets itself apart from the rest of the content I typically read from them. I really love it, if not only for the story telling and natural ebb and flow of its dialog, but for the cute little real life tidbits in the pages and the splash of Maude's medical form. I hope you'll give this 4 out of 5 star read a try as well. |

The truth is, for many, this title might fly under their radar, which is sad, because it's one that deserves being looked at. It's light hearted humor and surprisingly engrossing narrative is one that I think everyone can get behind, if they give it a chance, which is why I'm going to give Kim and Kim a 4 out of five stars. Have you checked out this title yet? If not, go do it now and then let me know what your take on it is. |

I've got to say it again, Cullen Bunn is putting out some really really great content and the art coupled with his story in this limited 4 out of 5 star issue is enough to really make people who might not be super familiar with Punk Mambo truly fall in love with her. |

I think the part that stands out the most for me in this writing is the fact that Tynion so expertly explains to us how magic and science walk parallel lines; that pieces of one resound largely in the other. The balance is integral, especially when realizing that two of the team are more science/logical minded beings. I think that ultimately, this major component is going to become imperative to where the story leads. Especially when considering the need for desire to will things into fruition. Ultimately, we're left waiting to see what order is brought to the team and what this means for Magic itself. I give this issue a 4.5/5 for, not only the beautiful art inside, but the expert blend of magic and science. Do you agree? |
