Overall, a very fun, engaging outing that allows for Mera to have the spotlight and shine! A great example of how to write and plot a tie-in to show off the supporting cast of an on-going series!

This series continues to be a delight to read, with incredibly alluring artwork, compelling mysteries and wonderfully punchy-dialogue! And now my fav DC character Mera is here! This storyline continues to be a must-read, one of the best current offerings from DC Comics!

This continues to be one of the most beautifully beguiling titles DC's producing, as Kelly-Sue DeConnick, Robson Rocha, Daniel Henriques, Sunny Cho, and Clayton Cowles continue to demonstrate why they were born to tell this sensational and innovative Aquaman tale! Three issues in and I can say without a doubt, it's my new favourite DC on-going title!

After concluding such an excellent sci-fi adventure like Descender, Jeff Lemire & Dustin Ngyuen reunite to begin a sequel ripe with the same charm and beauty of its predecessor, while still feeling entirely unique. I can't wait to see what new tales they weave with more Ascender!

The creative team has begun this new era of the Catalyst-Prime universe with a truly beautiful, easy-to-jump into, incredibly suspenseful first issue. Taking such a mundane plot-device as an alien invasion, and putting such a crafty spin is beyond inspiring, and refreshing! I cannot WAIT to see how this tale continues!

The conclusion to this new arc, and the introduction to new superhero Snowguard is handled very effectively, allowing for some truly gorgeous fight-sequences & a breath-taking final page! The issue may have benefitting from an extra couple of pages to wrap up the Master's involvement in the plot, but the fight with Alpha Flight & Snowguard's debut are so fun this is very easily forgiven!

Jim Zub continues to delight and entertain with Champions, taking advantage of every potential story-opportunity to grow the characters, ensuring a very rewarding experience for loyal readers! Combine that with cool new designs for Ironheart and the recently-renamed "Brawn", and some wonderfully vibrant art from guest-penciller Kevin Libranda, and this is yet another superb entry of Champions! Don't miss it!

This is a very moving issue. The comic itself is clearly a discussion of the effects school shootings can have on children who have to live with these horrific events. Marvel has even marketed the comic as such. Do I think this comic does so effectively? I'm not sure I'm the best person to ask, as living and growing up in Canada means that I've never had to deal with this fear. I do think the comic tells a very compelling story and does not hide from the subject it seeks to discuss.

This comic is absolutely ASTOUNDING, full of charm, heart, insight into Inuit myths, and highlighting one of the best new additions to the Marvel universe this year, Snowguard! The writing and art are so warm and inspiring, reading this comic feel like wrapping up in a favourite blanket and has got me wanting to know more about Inuit legends and myths. This is a can't-miss comic for ANY and EVERY comic-reader.

Marvel has seen fit to relaunch this new series, and while the writing remains incredibly engrossing & fun, the art doesn't quite measure up. Dark times appear to lie ahead for Marvel's young superheroes, and I'm onboard to see how they face them, despite a shakey start visually.

This opening arc of Champions has been incredibly intriguing, emotionally charged and filled with fun surprises! This issue cements why Jim Zub, Steve Cummings and Marcio Menyz are such a great fit for this series and opens the door to so many cool potential stories!

This is another terrific entry, showing why tie-in issues to comics shouldn't all be scorned, and how they can be used to both highlight the event, and further the on-going title itself! Add to that the several moments where I went "D'awww" regarding Cyclops, and I can't think of higher praise!

As we near the end of this volume of Champions, this issue provides some fun, vibrant action, some advancement for Sam, and some wonderful teen-superhero banter! I just wish the creative team had a couple more issues to work with, so the inevitable close doesn't feel so rushed.

This miniseries is not for fans of the Inhumans. If you've been enjoying any of their recent series or their development, you will be very turned off by this comic. But for a comic titled "Death of the Inhumans", it certainly doesn't false-advertise. It delivers on what it promises, in a very brutal, dreary way.

While wisely choosing to give readers a respite from the onslaught of this story for the majority of this issue, the art still struggles on occasion, and the overall thrust of this story is a little too heartbreaking for me. Also, THEY KILLED LOCKJAW.

This comic is OH SO MUCH FUN and a great follow-up to the new series itself. If you've been enjoying series 11 of Doctor Who, you owe it to yourself to pick this comic up, and to keep doing so as long as Jody Houser and Rachel Stott continue to work on it!

Gail Simone, David Baldeon, Jim Charalampidis and Clayton Cowles deliver an incredibly fun, visually spectacular first issue! Full of mystery, rich characterization and the wickedly witty dialogue, it's a comic that's impossible to put down until you've read it, and re-read it again!

This miniseries continues to delight and enthrall me with every panel and page turn! Delivering some of the best Deadpool material and art in the last few years, Wade Wilson fans are going to love this issue, as will anyone looking for a compelling mystery with a dash of spacial majesty!

This miniseries continues to thrill and delight me in ways few other comics on the racks do! Gail Simone's ability to juggle so many different characters' voices is to be admired, as are David Baldeon & Michael Shelfer's wonderful pencils. And the addition of Tony Stark is very entertaining (and I don't enjoy the rich billionaire very often)!

This miniseries (alongside the creative team's time with Domino) comes to a close, in a very fun, funny, and emotionally-charged finale. Gail Simone, David Baldeon, Michael Shelfer, Jim Charalampidis and Clayton Cowles deliver action, dialogue, pathos and charm that can't be beaten. This miniseries has felt like one beautiful love-letter to Jack Kirby, with this issue being the wonderful Xs and Ox at the end!

This two-parter begins fairly well writing-wise, as Mairghread Scott shows she knows how to show off Green Arrow's more compelling character-traits, and conveys his snarky attitude when stressed pretty effectively. However the book might've benefited from a different art team, or perhaps a bit more lead-in time to prep the pages, as the prison feels a bit to spare in details for my taste, and the action, while overall cohesive, isn't particularly visually interesting. Overall, it's an efficient, enjoyable start to a Green Arrow story but maybe not one too memorable.

The second part of "Better Than" continues and concludes the prior entry's plot & characterization very efficiently, and the art, well-handled in part one, becomes even better in the second. The story crafts a terrific conflict for a Green Arrow comic, and one that highlights a very real problem and concern when it comes to how people are treated while incarcerated. Highlighting very real social problems is something some of the best Green Arrow stories do, and this two-parter is no exception. I highly recommend giving it a read!

The overall set-up & character work in this issue is great, but the main plot for this first arc isn't' quite engaging me at this point. Hopefully in issues to come the creative team can land some bullseyes, as the potential is definitely in sight!

This run started out so promisingly and unfortunately has hit a major hurdle, with both the lead character and the biggest supporting character being so horrendously written out of character. It's going to take a miracle to fix such a massive error, and if I weren't obligated to do so, I'd stop reading Green Arrow right now for this.

It hurts to see Roy gone, but for anyone who's a fan of him, as Arsenal, Speedy or Red Arrow, any fans of the Titans, and any Green Arrow fans, this comic is a beautiful, must-read tribute to one of DC's most relatable legacy characters.

While it's sad to see such talented creators ushered away from Green Arrow, they delivered an incredibly fun, entertaining Green Arrow adventure that honours the heart of the Emerald Archer. Julie & Shawna Benson, German Peralta, Alex Maleev, John Kalisz & Deron Bennett all depart Green Arrow on a high-note!

The first entry in Julie & Shawna Benson's new direction for Green Arrow is very engaging, and the increased page count allows for a very well-told recount of how Oliver wound up in Justice League: No Justice, and captures both his voice and the love he has for Black Canary, quite well.

This is a can't-miss character piece for Marvel's wonderful young Nova!

After an incredibly engaging first entry, the follow-up with Infinity Countdown: Champions #2 is equally enthralling and enjoyable, providing more character development for not only Nova, but also Ironheart as well. The action is both pleasantly fluid and easy to follow, and the ending to the story sets up some very interesting potential stories for both Sam and Riri down the road.

This relaunch is absolutely gorgeous to look at, with lots of thought put into grabbing readers' eyes, but whether the writing will be able to hold them is still in question. While not overflowing in exposition for each new character introduced, this does make connecting with this new Legion of Superheroes slightly more difficult.

The pairing of Plastic Man with Gail Simone is a match made in heaven, and Gail takes every advantage to show off her rapier-sharp sense of humor with the book, but like her Deadpool run before, starts a story that will capture readers' hearts, making sure they're invested in this dark mystery that Eel finds himself caught up in.

Gail Simone, Adriana Melo, Kelly Fitzpatrick & Simon Bowland continue the high quality of the first issue with this entry, even raising the bar! All aspects of this comic remain top-notch, and the further fleshing out of Plastic Man's character by his actions in this comic are quickly making it one of the best character-pieces I've read in ages! It's a shame this is only a six-issue miniseries, as I'd LOVE to see this creative-team continue to tell more stories with Eel O'Brian! Is this comic "wang"? I DON'T KNOW, but I do know it's not-to-be-missed!

Another AMAZING issue, advancing all plot threads very organically, guest-starring the underappreciated Secret Six, and with lots of great Pado Swakatoon moments throughout? Yeah, this comic is a must-buy if you love fun or mysteries or especially both!

This issue continues the miniseries trend of highlighting why Plastic Man is such a wacky, wild character, and makes me love the stretchy superhero more and more! When I'm this distraught over a story only being six issues and being this desperate for more, the comic's done something very very right!

This miniseries has been an absolute delight to follow along with, highlighting the strengths of both the creators behind it and the titular hero in front. Plastic Man is a love-letter to the strange, wacky, mischevious & kind-hearted Eel O'Brian, delivering laughs, joys and acceptance of others that we all could use more of!

This is a comic series Geoff Johns has been trying to get off the ground for half a decade, and with its fun characterization, wacky artwork & intriguing set-up for the first story-arc, I think it was worth the wait! This first issue is very promising, but it's too early to tell if, like Geoff Johns's relaunching of Justice Society of America or Green Lantern, if he's caught lightning in a bottle yet again.

After an incredibly fun first issue, Shazam #2 continues the trend, being very entertaining, visually vibrant, and setting up lots of compelling mysteries! The characterization here and there is going in a potentially-worrisome direction, but the comic remains a delight to experience!

The creative team continues to build a vast new part of the DC Universe through these realms with this Shazam series while fleshing out Billy's family, doing so very efficiently and entertainingly thus far! King Kid's nature wasn't surprising but is still very enjoyable nonetheless. And the art is some of the most enjoyable DC's currently publishing!

This series continues to be a very entertaining, serviceable reintroduction to the World's Mightiest Mortal, and his endearing and fun family! The further fleshing out of the magic-realms is intriguing, and allowing for some terrific artwork and great character-moments!

While there are a lot of elements here I do like, the constantly growing cast of characters and subplots is starting to drag this story-arc's pacing a bit too much for my liking. And with the need for four pencillers this issue, the normally terrific visuals of this series also starting to suffer. Hopefully, this series can get back on track soon.

The return of Nadia Van Dyne's solo-series is just as excellent as the original Unstoppable Wasp comics, jammed-full of wonderful writing, art, and women-in-STEM perfection. If you enjoy fun in your comics, you should most DEFINITELY buy this one!

This series continues to highlight just how incredibly glamorous & lovable Jeremy Whitley's writing & Gurihiru's art are! Both blending perfectly together to create one of the most endearing comics I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It's impossible not to fall in love with Unstoppable Wasp!

After the humour-heavy second issue, this entry flawlessly conveys the danger & thrills filled within Unstoppable Wasp's world. Jeremy Whitley, Gurihiru and Joe Carmagna continue to be a dream creative team, and this a dream on-going comic series!

This comic doesn't pull any punches. The creative team sets out to believably portray what can happen to those who suffer from bipolar disorder and does so exceedingly well. For this alone, this is a must-read comic, not just for fans of Nadia, but fans of comics and fans of human empathy in general. This will be one of the most important stories for the Unstoppable Wasp, and it should not be missed.

After being successfully resurrected, Unstoppable Wasp has proven why it's one of the best series Marvel's publishing time and time again, with this latest issue being no exception. Jeremy Whitley, Alti Firmansyah, Espen Grundetjern, Joe Caramagna deliver must-read mental health, LGBTQA+ rep and boatloads of charm. And like Nadia Van Dyne herself, it seems that there's no limit to how good Unstoppable Wasp can get!

The main plot of the series isn't advanced much in this issue, but the comic is so delightful to read it's impossible for me to hold that against it. Much like any great party, reading this comic the time flew right by and left me invigorated and with a huge grin across my face!

I have treasured reading every new issue of this series Marvel has released. Unstoppable Wasp has been a very empowering, well-thought & constructed tale, showing the glory of science, the very real struggle those with bipolar disorder live with (and that it IS possible to live happily and healthy lives with said diagnosis), and acceptance of people of all walks of life. This issue, and indeed this series, is in my opinion, the best on-going title Marvel has published in years, and a must-read for any and every comic book fan.
