Overall this is a fun read and I quite like where it could be going in future issues.

Why has M sent 006 to bring Bond on and not 009? Will we see Bond reconnect with M in a forthcoming issue? Those are just some of the questions that I am pondering about this book.

I'm continuing to enjoy where this story is going and can't wait for the next issue to come out.

The StoryHaving gone to Washington in order to get some help from his CIA contact Felix. Bond has a chance encounter with 005 who claims that again Gann 002 was second in command of Myrmidon and cannot be trusted. Having no other evidence to prove this. Bond has to do a little digging himself and is starting to wonder about who he can and can't trust. Things escalate somewhat when Agent Clark is nearly captured by Myrmidon.

This penultimate issue leaves a few plot threads concerning Bond's future in the wind. But am sure some of it will get resolved in the final issue, which will hit comic stores next month.

Philip Kennedy Johnson wraps this story up beautifully and leaves a few threads open so that Gann can potentially make a return at some future date. I loved the themes and tropes that Johnson used to tell this story. Nanotech and other technologies that have the potential to allow one person to play god is of huge concern as is A.I. in general. So this book story is one that I feel many fans will likely be discussing for some time to come. The topics and themes within the story are very much mirroring many of the discussions that have been happening in the world's media for quite some time. Bond's decision in the end was as much for the rest of the world as it was for England.

This is a solid first issue that does a good job of setting the story up. I enjoyed the book but am curious as to how this more working-class version of Bruce Wayne has managed to fund all of his studies as well as all of the hardware that he uses. Obviously there are a few clues as to how this has worked as we get references to Oswald Cobblepot and we also meet Killer Crock who runs the gym where Bruce Works out at. Quite how Cobblepot and other well-known Batman villains will get used in this alternative story as yet remains to be seen, but it will be interesting to find out if they best guesses about them will turn out to be true.

This second issue builds brilliantly on the characters and themes introduced in the opening book. I love how we're seeing Bruce Wayne grappling with survivor's guilt, which adds an extra layer of complexity to his decision to become Batman. He blames himself for his father's death, believing that if he hadn't won the science fair, they never would have visited the zoo where Joe Chill killed his father.

OverallThis issue continues to deliver excitement, deepening the mystery and conspiracy that have been building throughout the story. I'm eager to see what unfolds next, especially after that cliffhanger.

Overall, this is a solid issue, one that focuses more on character development than on action.

OverallThis penultimate issue sees Batman face off against Black Mask for the first time and does a fantastic job of setting the stage for next month's finale. I really enjoyed the drama of Roman's speech, especially the way his story about killing pigs at a slaughterhouse was juxtaposed with his critique of the system. It's a powerful moment that builds up to his massive offer of wealth to Gotham's people. The real question iswill the city take the bait?

OverallA fairly satisfying conclusion to the first story arc that sets up a lot for the next, which will likely include Bane. Personally, I'd love to see how Bruce's friends react when they find out he's the Batman.

A clever new origin story for the iconic Mr. Freeze, with some truly chilling backstory. I liked that we got to see Bruce held accountable by his friends for lying about his secret identity, and I'm looking forward to seeing how that all plays out alongside where the rest of the story goes. The link between Ark M, V Corp, and Fries' potential connection to the Joker looks like it could make for an interesting twist when more is revealed in part two.

Another standout moment is the scene where Wally interrupts Barry's experiment. The pink and purple hues surrounding Barry in the chamber just before the explosion add a real sense of drama, making the moment feel even more intense.

This issue also does a great job of exploring themes like identity, control, and the burden of power.

Overall, Jason Aaron's alternative take on Superman shows real promise and might feel more relatable to fans like myself who've often found Superman a bit overpowered compared to other heroes. Personally, I've always enjoyed the more grounded heroes, like Batman, who rely on technology, training, and cleverness to overcome villains and challenges.

Overall, this is a solid second issue that continues to develop both character and plot effectively, with enough intrigue to keep readers engaged.

In my view, this is the weakest entry in the Absolute Series so far.

OverallThis is an intriguing fourth issue that introduces a classic Superman character in a completely new context. The addition of the Omega Men to the plot provides a fascinating counterpoint to the main villains, and I'm excited to learn more in the upcoming issues.

So far, this comic has used a lot of flashbacks, contrasting the fall of Krypton with the way corporations exploit Earth's natural resources and oppress its labor force. The narrative serves as a solid allegory for many of the world's current problems, and for some readers, it might feel a bit on the nose. Personally, I think Jason Aaron gets the balance just right. He captures the cold, inhumane calculations of Lazarus Corp, run by Brainiac, while also portraying the plight of the workers who are firmly under Lazarus Corp's thumb, with little to no health benefits. What the story doesn't provide, however, is any suggestions or ideas on how to fix the system it critiques. Now, that's something I'd love to see in a comic a template for how to solve the world's problems.

A solid issue that builds brilliantly on everything set up in previous chapters. The new take on Kal's first meeting with the Kents was nicely handled and added some real depth to the story around Lazarus Corp. I'm looking forward to seeing how Kal-El deals with Ra's al Ghul and Brainiac when the time comes.

Over time we see the Witch raise Diana as her own child and when she comes of age the Witch tells Diana about Apollo bringing her to hell and not wanting her to know about her heritage. Now Diana has come down to Earth on her Zombie horse named Pegasus and embraces her job of protecting the world from the worst that Hell has to offer as she looks to reclaim the word Amazon and her true heritage.

Visually, I loved the action beats at the start of the book, which were dynamic and engaging. The slow build-up to the reveal at the end also kept the tension high and made for a satisfying conclusion to the issue.

Overall, this book remains my favorite from the Absolute range, and I'm excited to see where the story goes next.

This was a strong issue, with Wonder Woman making a few new friends. But could the ominous ending be hinting at potential enemies within the US government?

Overall, a solid issue that wraps up the opening arc in a satisfying way.

Equally enjoyable is the short story Li'l Diana, where we see a young Diana learning the magic of transformation from her adoptive mother, Circe. Also written by Kelly Thompson, this story offers a refreshing bit of light relief after the edgier main plot.

A very enjoyable story. I loved the use of the parable about the princess and the prince who wasn't a prince, and how it was juxtaposed against the real-time dilemma Wonder Woman was facing. This is a style of storytelling I've always enjoyed immensely, and I hope we'll see more of it in future stories.

I'm looking forward to seeing what issue two has to offer next month because this is a really strong start.

As far as plot twists go. There's a few being set up. This issue alone gives us a few more classic characters from the period. One of which is a certain gentleman calling himself Jack who suspiciously looks like a rather young David Warner.

I hope it's not too much of a long wait for issue 4 because I'm really enjoying this book and would love to see it as a movie someday.

Overall. This book continues to be the main event on my monthly calendar.

I'm giving this full marks across the board and hope to get hold of a trade copy of the whole story in graphic novel form.

A promising start to what looks like it may be a good pulp-style story. My only criticism is that Claire's meal with her family dragged on a little, but perhaps that was the point. Matt Fraction has something pretty cool brewing here. I'm ready for my second serving.

The team of Rachel and Terry Dodson continue to do great work in the art department.

The part of the story where Claire has lost time and is being examined by the Doctor proved to be quite interesting in that she suddenly has her hearing back in one ear and has grown a bit taller. It will be fun to see what this is going to go in the next issue.

OverallMatt Fraction is giving us a wildly fun pulp adventure story with a likable character. I loved the sequence at the end where Claire's son tells the rest of the family how they will be able to find his mother. I loved how he explained Adventureman's Thought Surge.

"TO THE GREATEST UNKNOWN" does a fantastic job of trying up one story arc and sawing the seeds to start a newer story. Thankfully, we'll not have to be waiting quite as long for the next issue. But that said this particular issue was well worth the wait as I had very nearly forgotten that I had subscribed to this book. Especially given that Covid and various other considerations had delayed its release by a whole year.

A really funny and festive opening for what I am sure will be a fun short story, which will wrap up in next month's issue.

Matt Fraction giving us a ghost Adventureman story this close to Christmas is genius. The artwork continues to work really well with Fractions narrative and the colours and visuals continue to look very much like an old 30s pulp series, but set in the modern-day. Additionally, this issue is a wonderful introduction for the cowboy hero Champion Strong, who I am hoping we'll see more of in the months ahead.

Doom enlists Spider-Man as his champion, tasking him with battling an ancient god and its seven scions to protect Earth from supernatural threats. At first, Spider-Man flat-out refuses. But he quickly learns he has little choice, as Doom has already put his plan in motion. Armed with magical armor and an assortment of enchanted tools, Spider-Man has no choice but to face this otherworldly challenge.

Overall, I enjoyed this issue and look forward to the release of the third book in the series.

Overall, this is a solid issue that delivers a powerful punch, leaving you wondering if Spidey can recover. With three lives already spent, he's down to just five. How will Spidey overcome this formidable third Scion? I guess we'll have to wait and see in the next installment.

The 8 Deaths of Spider-Man continues to be a fun read, offering spectacular battles. I'm really enjoying Peter Parker's ongoing struggle to balance his crime-fighting duties as Spider-Man with his regular life, being there for his girlfriend and Aunt May. These Scions are proving to be much tougher than the webhead's usual foes, making for an exciting monthly read.

The final page hits hard, showing Peter Parker at rock bottom, teetering on the edge of conceding and giving up the fight.

The issue leaves us on a bit of a cliffhanger, with the X-Men preparing to face Cradios. The question is, will Spider-Man come to his senses in time to relieve them before Cradios takes them all out?

A solid issue where Peter Parker continues to wallow in self-pity and neglect his duties as Champion. Introducing Crya is an interesting move, especially since it was her battle with Spider-Man that helped drag Peter into this vicious cycle of self-doubt. Crya has been a compelling character throughout the story, and I'm eager to see how she'll impact future issues.

This penultimate issue does a fantastic job of setting the stage for what I hope will be a thrilling finale. I've really enjoyed following Cyra's character arc over the last few issues, and this one delivers a solid payoff. Hopefully, her sacrifice doesn't mean the end of her in the comics worldI've really liked her journey and would love to see her return as an ally to Spider-Man in the next iteration of the character launching in April.

A great ending to a fun story where Spider-Man gets a firsthand lesson in just how much the world values the service he provides.

A solid start to this new era of Amazing Spider-Man. Romita Jr.'s artwork is awesome, just as you'd expect. I really liked the panels showing Roderick Kingsley making his plans and instructing his PA to monitor the situation. The question of what Kingsley is really up to is still hanging in the airbut whatever it is, it's clearly having an impact on the personalities of people living in Harlem. I'm looking forward to finding out what's behind it all.

A solid second issue that builds nicely on the events of the opening chapter. Watching Spider-Man lose control is both interesting and funespecially since he's usually known for his bravado and confidence. I'm looking forward to seeing where all of this goes in the next issue.

I enjoyed the comics story and the art work was of good enough standard that it showed you what you needed to see without pulling you out of the story.

Much like last issue. It is surprising me just how different the comic book adaptation is to the TV series and how events seem to happen in a different order.

I now look forward to issue five, which will likely feature Shadow and Mr. Wednesday's bank robbery and will be followed up with their meeting with the new gods.

American Jesus #2 will be out in all good comics stores on Wednesday 22 January.

If I have any criticism of this book. It is that we haven't really seen too much in this story from the opposite side of the fence as to the kind of upbringing the Messiah's opposite number had and how he or she has been living their life. I guess the writer is saving all of that for later issues. Either way, it would be cool to see that.

Overall. ‘American Mythology Monsters' is a fun reinterpretation of the classic Universal Monster movies from the 1930s. The artwork is pretty good for a black and white book and allows you to fill in the colors with your own imagination. Out of the three stories. I found ‘Bite' to offer the most interesting reinterpretation whereas ‘Safiya' was the most visually interesting.

It is my hope that this series proves successful for Titan Comics because it allows new readers to experience what readers of the novels did.

Overall though. This is a fun first issue, which does a superlative job of capturing the spirit of both Xena Warrior Princess and Ash and Army Of Darkness. I look foreword to seeing how things pan out in the second issue.

If you're looking for some pulpy fun to read. It is part tribute to the soldiers that fought during the second world war as well as a loving homage to Pulp stories.

Overall. A really strong start to a story, which I hope will gain momentum and strength as the series progresses.

Overall a solid story and thought-provoking story, which is an example of the types of stories that classic science fiction can tell. I.E. it's not simply a good guys and bad guys kind of story. But a lot more nuanced.

OverallThis story continues to move along at a satisfying pace. The events of a virus taking out the indigenous life on Pandora is somewhat similar to what happened to many Native American tribes when the European settlers made America their home. Bringing with them strains of many viruses and diseases that the Native tribes had no immunity to. The interplay between Moat and Eytukan provides the backbone of this story as Eytukan's anti-human views give him some compelling arguments. We also have some nice moments between Grace and Selfridge as the latter says that the disease could well make his job easier. Of course, Grace isn't too impressed with Selfridge's attitude.

Having spent pretty much the whole weekend reading all 11 issues of this comic. I am now wanting to have more ‘Back To The Future' and the odd conundrum or two for Marty and Doc to solve. Which is something that seems to be happening as IDW continues on to the future.

As a regular reader of this series. I'm hoping that this is truly a one shot because I'd like to get back to the time travelling.

I only hope that they do not kill of Irving. He makes for a more interesting enemy that Biff or anything that we have seen thus far in this series.

This has been a wonderful arc. Amust have for those that buy the trade paperbacks.

Overall this is a fun story with lots of fun references, but it only really works as a bit of filler as in a one shot to buy us some time until the comics next big story arc.

A really enjoyable read and not even the tiniest hint of time travel thus far.

Over all this is a great second issue in the Hard Time story arc and I look forward to next months issue.

Given that we know so little about uncle Joey from the films. This comic book series has done a fabulous job of filling in some of those blanks.

IDW, Bob Gale and John Barber are doing some really cool stuff here.

I'm really looking forward to the next issue to find out how this arc will conclude.

Overall. This was a great ending for the mystery surrounding Joe Baines and a great launch point for a new adventure, which we'll see at some stage next year.

The art work byAlan Robinson is fantastic. I love the alternate dress code of 1986B and its a load of fun seeing Marty's girlfriend Jennifer in full punk rock regalia. But its the scenes set in the 30's that really show off Robinson's work here. His attention to detail and the specalative look of Doc's invention of the flying car is brilliant fun.

OverallA promising start to what feels like a wild and crazy spy adventure. The main character is introduced to us on a burned page of a novel before we see him in the comic and the story is pure science fiction pulp from start to cliffhanger. I am curious and probably inclined to hit subscribe on this one.

Matt Kindt delivers a really solid second issue, which links things up with events in the first issue as the last few pages see John meet up with Agent Chord. I loved the cheeky references to 'Die Hard' with some of the dialogue and am really loving the over the top nature of the spy story. The inhalers that Shaw gets put me in mind of the Superdrug that was depicted in 'Limitless'. I really want to see this made into a TV show or a movie. It is that much fun.

Overall. A great introduction for Dr. Queen. I look forward to the issue where Chord, Queen, and Shaw start to work together, which hopefully will be coming up in the October issue.

A fun issue, which really appealed to the Agatha Christie fan within me.

Move along James Bond. I would like me some more Bang!

Overall. I'm probably in for another issue to see how it goes. Overall it is pretty true to the Barbarella character and visual goes a little further than the movie could ever go.

This is a fun read, but when compared to Dynamites very first issue of Barbarella, which I covered months ago. This is a much cleaner story in that it has been toned down, which is not a bad thing given that its a holiday special, which means it needs to be a bit more inclusive.

One of the highlights is when we see Joking using Xabaras's lab to make zombie jokers.

Roberto Recchioni continues to spin an intriguing story making great use of Batman and Dylan Dog. The dialogue between the two protagonists is sharp and very much in line with what we know of their characters. The addition of the Demon Etrigan made way for some fun rhymes whereas John Constantine allowed the writer to create an interesting bit of conversation between Dog and Constantine about how things are versus the way they are now.

This has been a great crossover and I would not be apposed to seeing more crossover stories between these two characters.

Jeff Parker delivers a festive sequel to last year's Silent Knight storyline. I loved how he managed to include so many members of the Justice League while giving Santa Claus a fantastic entrance. It was great to see characters like Mera, Nubia, Constantine, and Zatanna make an appearance. I'm excited to see how much of a role they'll play in the story and can't wait to find out.

The combination of Parker's writing and the artwork makes this book a captivating read, and I'm hookedeagerly anticipating the next issue!

A fun issue that gradually builds towards the conclusion of Batman and the JLA's time in the Hollow Kingdom as Santa comes to their rescue. That said, I'm actually enjoying Zatanna and Robin's part in this story a bit more than Batman and the JLA's storyline.

This penultimate issue does a great job of setting the stage for the finale, which drops later this week. As the story wraps up, we see the Dark Knight and his companions step into the castle that has long been the Silent Knight's domain. It's hard not to feel that the upcoming finale will be bursting with action and plenty of Christmas magic.

Overall, I absolutely loved this book for its outlandish craziness. It truly captured the spirit of a proper holiday special, perfectly spread across five issues. I really hope we see more of this kind of fun from comics next year.

Mark Waid delivers a fantastic first issue. I'm always up for seeing Superman get savagely beaten up. But for me, it is the addition of The Doom Patrol that really makes this book. Waid makes brilliant use of Negative Man's powers in order to help Batman contain an out-of-control Superman. I can't wait to see what happens in the next issue.

Overall. A fun read and thus far a fairly strong team-up story for DCs two most popular heroes.

For me personally. The best part of this issue is the sequence where The House of Ji explains how they defeated Nezha the first time. The words for this sequence worked brilliantly with Mora's artwork.

So things are looking pretty grim for our heroes as Supergirl delivers some disturbing news. I can't wait to find out what will happen in the next issue and learn who our heroes will have to sacrifice in order to defeat Nezha. I mean could there be a workaround such as making a superhero clone. You know pitting science against magic? I guess we'll learn more in next month's installment.

This was a lot of fun. And the next story arc in which the team will go after Robin already has me pretty excited at the possibilities.

Mark Waid gives us a pretty solid but simple mystery for Robin to solve, which kicks off this new story arc. I really loved how he had Robin describing his love of the circus at the beginning of the book. I also loved how well-written the various characters were and the panel where Superman gets hit on by the circus cook was pretty fun. Overall, this is a good start to the new story arc and could almost work as a one-shot style story if we did not know that there was more to come.

Things get kind of interesting when David exhibits powers that are a side effect of his Earth having a less powerful sun. In order to help assimilate David into this new Earth Superman agrees to train him while Robin introduces him to the Titans.

OverallThis is a really fun and interesting story and the focus on David AKA Boy Thunder and his superhero journey give us an insight into topics such as mental health and anxiety. I loved the sequence in which Supergirl tells her story to Boy Thunder in an effort to ease his mind about his own anxiety as he is blaming himself for the loss of his own Earth. The question is. Was he the cause of the destruction of his own world? Or was it something else?

I can't wait to see where this story goes when the next issue is released next month.

Mark Waid does a great job of the panels where Joker and The Key are working together to try and get information out of Boy Thunder via torture and other means. I loved the conversation that Boy Thunder has with The Key in which the villain pretty much gives us his origin story in a few short paragraphs when he talks about the fact that human beings only use about 10 percent of their brains.

All that said. I really enjoyed this opening issue and I'm fully on board to find out what happens as Terry goes deeper into Under Gotham to investigate the missing kids.

OverallA really fun issue that does a great job of moving the story forward and ends with a big reveal about who the tomb belongs too.

A fantastic issue, which sees Batman doe some real detective work. I love the fact that this is all wrapped up around something that his ancestors did years ago. It adds proper emotional weight and high stakes if Batman or Bruce do not handle things the right way. I'm also quite enjoying the character of Azrael and his penchant for religious quotes. Not to mention his flaming sword.

I look forward to the next issue to find out more. The whole history of Edmund Wayne and everything that involves is really interesting and fun to read.

A really good book, which sets things up beautifully for the coming fight with Azrael.

OverallThis final issue wraps up the story quite nicely and sees Bruce Wayne taking responsibility for the actions of his family many years in the past is pretty much a given. It was the panels that led up to that. Such as the few panels in which Harley Quinn tries to talk Bruce out of giving himself over to the Gotham PD. The final panels of this leave things open for more adventures to come, but the conclusion of this story changes everything for the life of Bruce Wayne and Batman.

OverallSean Murphy delivers a solid story here, which will both entertain and educate. I really loved the segment at the very close of the book where we meet the White Knight version of Batman during a visit to an older Victor Fries. But it is the story within the story about Victor's father the Baron and his surrogate father Jacob, which will melt even the iciest of hearts.

Overall. A really promising start to what looks like being one hell of a great story. BSG vs BSG will hit comics stores on Wednesday of next week.

A crossover between the original Battlestar Galactica crew and the Re-imagined crew was always going to present fun and interesting ideas. But you have to wonder if some of those ideas are perhaps left as just ideas and not allowed to germinate beyond that.

Overall. Despite my issues with the artwork. This is a case of a damn good story taking shape. I love the fact that Iblis has come into play here and wonder how long it will be before the ship of lights shows up. This issue has a few shocking moments and sees one of the Adama's acting very much out of character.

Once again. If your looking for the artwork to be representative of the characters from both television shows. Don't hold your breath. Johnny Desjardins characterizations are more his interpretation than they are accurate and it can be a bit jarring. So best to keep your expectations fairly low because the only characters he has anywhere close to how they are supposed to look are those characters from the re-imagined universe and even then it is hit and miss.

To sum up. This will likely be worth having in trade paperback when it gets released, but it is more of a fun item to have in your Battlestar Galactica collection.

As a child of the 70's and 80's I'm loving this and I'm definitelysigned up for the whole story. This to me is the Battlestar Galacticaof my youth and not the gritty and nihilistic take on the series, which was so popular in the early 2000's. You can get your copy of this first issue for Free from Comixology and elsewhere. It's definitelyworth a look if you feel nostalgic for the more family-friendlyversion of Battlestar Galactica.

Overall. This new comic book run feels very much like it could well have been an original episode from the Classic Battlestar Galactica series. I want more of the same, please. Bring on issue 3.

This issue will hit comic book stores on Wednesday, December 12. If you're a Classic Galactica fan. This is a must-read.

I am continuing to enjoy this series and hope Dynamite plan to make this an ongoing series because this Classic Battlestar Galactica fan would be very happy if they do.

I really enjoyed the relationship that Adama builds with the Comitat, which builds up to a really dramatic closing page. I look forward to issue 5 whenever it drops. Hopefully, the wait will not be too long.

Once again Tini Howard gives us a rather complex and nuanced storyline, which has multiple twists being set up. I love the fact that we are likely to see a bit more of S.T.R.I.K.E. as Betsy has called upon them in order to help here get to the bottom of what is going on with the Furies.

OverallOverall. A solid continuation of the story that kicked off last month. I loved the decision to bring Captain Carter and Lizzie Braddock into the story. As I loved the solo Captain Carter comic series that introduced their characters to us last year. I look forward to seeing how well Captain Carter and Betsy Braddock work together in future issues.

Tired and fast running out of options. Bettsy begins to realize that she is going to need some outside help in order to help her and her people defend the country from the nefarious plans of Morgan Le Fay.

This penultimate issue does a fantastic job of foreshadowing what is to come but does so in such a way that it gives very little away. I loved the family meeting at the close of the issue and some of the questions that the Braddock family was pondering. Especially where it concerns how they can fight Morgan Le Fay and do it in such a way that they do not endanger the country or pull Europe into another war.

This is a satisfying conclusion to the story arc, but it looks like it could well likely lead into a future arc as I don't think Betsy's solution is as elegant as she thinks it might be. I loved how S.T.R.I.K.E. was used in this issue. But for me, the best inclusion was seeing Faiza Hussain get a good role as she is a character that Paul Cornell introduced to the Marvel Universe via his run on Captain Britain and is a character that I don't think we've seen enough of.

Having Bettie Page be a secret agents is a master stroke and it works really well as a concept. I really enjoyed this first issue, which tells a somewhat self contained story to introduce the characters.

The reveal at the end of the book feels very 1930's movie serial in that you will find yourself anxiously wanting to know what will happen in the next issue.

With the cliffhanger ending being far more exciting this issue. I can't wait to find out how Betty and Druke escape.

The colors were fantastic and the humor of Betty having to strip down to her swimwear in order to escape the flying saucer was pretty much expected, but not half as much fun without the dramatic build up. With just one issue left to go. I shudder to think of what Avallone might come up with next.

I look forward to seeing what is in store for issue six where we may just find out who was behind the giant scorpions.

This issue will drop at all comic stores a week on Wednesday.

Overall. Another fantastic issue. Hopefully, there are loads more to come in the future.

This has been a fantastic monthlycomic, which I am going to miss now that it is at an end. Hopefully, David Avallone will come up with another caper for Bettie and her friendsto figure out at a later date.

OverallAn enjoyable read and a reminder that I cannot have enough Bettie Page comic book stories in my life. I was really impressed with what Leah Williams did with so little space to fill and Dave Avallone continues to impress with his knack for being able to write a pulp story and create dialogue that fits specific time periods.

OverallA solid opening issue, which sets the ball rolling on another bunch of adventures for Bettie Page. I'm looking forward to seeing where David Avallone will take this in future issues. I really enjoyed how we got a brief callback to the Halloween issue, which was released last month and I really appreciated how fast we got into the adventure. I look forward to seeing what Bettie thinks of the English dessert known as Spotted Dick. If indeed she has time for such trivial pursuits.

Most of all though. It is the way the mystery of this book is set up. It very much feels like a 1930s and 40s movie serial with the cliffhanger ending, which keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can't wait for issue 3.

My only complaint is the lettering. In the panels where Bettie is wearing the helmet. It is barely visible due to the fact that her voice sounds lower. The letterer chose to have the lettering fade to a point where even the most sighted person would have to squint in order to read this dialogue. I have friends that are partially sighted who read comics that would have struggled with this. So I have to address this issue by asking if there might have been another way to sell this fact in the story. Instead of fading the text so much.

A wonderful resolution to what has been a very fun adventure. Bring on the next issue.

Given how this issue closes. I'm psyched to get my mits on the second issue of this arc, which is a whole month away. Hopefully, it goes by fairly quickly.

A great Halloween issue, which will get you in the mood for some trick or treating.

Overall. A pretty good second issue that makes the reader feel pretty much exactly what all the characters are feeling insofar as not being completely in the know about what is going on. I look forward to the third issue in hopes that some clues will be revealed.

Hopefully, the fourth issue will have a little more action happening and perhaps a little more from Bettie Page herself. Because she has been pretty quiet thus far.

Overall. The best issue to date, which feels like it is building up towards some big reveal in next month's installment.

Overall. The Agatha Christie feel of this story reminded me of countless movies and TV shows have seen over the years. Though I don't think any of them had a heroic Elephant called Tuskems. In a sense, it was the use of the Agatha Christie-style mystery that gave this comic a warm and familiar feeling. Although I had pretty much figured out who the villains were a couple of issues back. But, despite that. I still had fun following along with the story. It's a fun read, but not the best Bettie Page story to come from Dynamite.

This isn't a bad story, but I can't help but feel that the character of Beauregard is getting a lot more attention than the titular character who seems to be a lot less streetwise than previous incarnations of her character that have been published by Dynamite. Hopefully, we see Bettie evolve in future issues because right now she doesn't seem to be the same character that I have read in previous books as Beauregard seems to be doing all the investigation.

I'm really looking forward to where this story will go in the next chapter.

Stephen Mooney gets this new adventure off to a wonderful start and introduces us to some wonderful new characters. Indeed, the introduction of Maire Dineen whose skepticism makes her quite interesting. Also, I really enjoyed the easy banter between Bettie and Lyssa.

Writer Stephen Mooney picks things up from he left off and manages to remain consistent throughout. I love how he has captured how much of a culture shock it is for Bettie and Lyssa as they learn about the foibles of a small village in Ireland.

Overall. A solid issue. I look forward to seeing what we have coming up in the next one.

This was a great issue that spins-off wonderfully from the mythology that David Avallone has worked so tirelessly to set up in previous issues. I loved how the issue starts with Bettie recapping absolutely everything that has happened that has led up to her being in this strange new world.

Overall. A really strong issue, which allows us to see Bettie as a Vampire for the first and hopefully not the last time.

Overall. A great issue, which leaves us with a cliffhanger that will have fans counting the days for the next issue to come out.

OverallDavid Avallone delivers again with this final issue of the current arc of Bettie Page, but he leaves enough at the end of the issue to begin a new story arc, which may involve pirates and crocodiles or any number of things. Either way, you are left with the impression that Bettie still has unfinished business. I look forward to reading what that might be.

OverallThis was a great issue. I loved how Bettie and the organization she works for are having to deal with the group of people she brought back with her from the other universe. But it's seeing Bettie meet the great Albert Einstein, which makes up the best part of this issue. I can't wait to see who she will meet in future issues.

Overall. Bring on issue two. It's got to be more exciting than Christmas.

I particularly liked all the backstory that we get in this issue as well. Backstory in which we learn that she was abused as a child and wound up in an abusive relationship before she moved to New York and became a glamour model.

OverallDavid Avallone has managed another solid issue and over the last two and a bit years has sold me on the idea of Bettie Page being a super spy. I'm just waiting for some of these stories to be made into movies of video games.

A strong issue, which is definitely building to a grand finale.

Overall. This gets a huge thumbs up from me. Now if only someone can convince Dynamite to pick up the licensing agreement to do a comic book adaptation of the old 1960s series ‘The Invaders‘. Now that would really be something.

So I'd say this is accessible to you if it has been a while since you have read anything from the Millarverse.

I'm really looking forward to seeing where this goes in the next issue.

This book, which includes all the heroes and villains that Mark Millar has created continues to weave a fun story. However, seeing so many heroes seen off is starting to make me wonder when we are going to see one of the surviving heroes get a victory. I think they're about due.

OverallMark Millar sets things up for a really big finale issue as we see Morax's forces come through a time portal on the last page. I look forward to seeing how Wesley Gibson and Nemesis fare when up against Morax and his forces. And given that Morax has a Wizard in his employ. It will mean that Cordelia and the Magic Order will no longer be breaking any rules by entering the fray. Bring on issue 5.

Overall. This has been an enjoyable series and I look forward to whatever other crossover events that Millar comes up with.

Overall. A really solid first issue, which has left me wanting to learn more.

Overall. Nowhere near as strong as the opening issue, but not quite bad enough to put me off coming back for the next issue.

Overall this is a promising beginning to what could turn out to be an interesting story arc given that Tim is looking for the magical urn that created the project superheroes team in hopes that it will reunite him with his version of Black Terror. The dialogue is quick and snappy and some of the morally questionable things that Tim gets up to in order get information are rather funny if not also a little dated. I mean giving a weed addict oregano is about as old school as it gets, but it works given that Tim is old school and always will be.

I enjoyed how we got the flashback to Vietnam and how the events that went down there sort of impacted on Black Terror having to do something for Bad Groove by the end of the issue.

The only redeeming part of the story for me was the Flashback. Now has the book been focused on that story as opposed to the soap opera that we got here. I'd have been a little happier. But it just seemed like the story was kind of disjointed in that the writer was trying to do far too much in just one issue.

For a first issue, Bloodborne does a great job of drawing the reader into the world and the combination of writing and art style work really well and conveys the various narrative beats in a quick and concise manner.

Lots of fun and highly recommended for those that enjoy stories that blend history, time travel and pirates, and the Bermuda Triangle together.

The StoryWhen Simon Bruttenholm and Honora Grant visit the small country town of Noxton. They are hoping to find answers to their questions. Simon is looking for his mate Lowel who was supposed to be visiting to check out some Standing Stones. While Honora had an interest in the town's May Day Festival, which is supposed to be very different to other village festivals. However, as the two friends begin their investigations they find that the townsfolk are far from helpful. What could the townspeople be hiding?

A fantastic second issue that ends with a fun twist that will keep readers thinking until next month.

While speaking to a police officer to explain that she thinks a cult may have tried to get hold of Lowell. Honora is dismissed by the policeman, which leads her and Simon into suspecting that he may also be a part of the cult. Having seen their friend's fate. The two of them decide to further investigate and stumble into a ritual that sees the cult about to sacrifice another newcomer to their village to their Gray Man.

While getting the bus home. Hydra launches an attack, which pretty much forces Peggy into a position where she is likely to once again represent her country.

Jamie McKelvie continues to deliver the goods in this modern spy thriller. As far as the story goes. This feels like the third season of Agent Carter that we never got. I loved the fact that Peggy's neighbor just happens to be a conspiracy theorist and hacker all in one. Sure it is kind of convenient, but in this instance, it serves the story really well.

This is a really fun story and am looking forward to reading the final issue next month when it gets released.

OverallThe End OF THE LINE! does a brilliant job of bringing this story arc to an end, but leaves things open enough for Agent Carter to return at some future date. As to whether it will be for S.T.R.I.K.E. or some other team of heroes remains to be seen. But I'd personally love to see Harley and Lizzie Braddock get another adventure as well as they made for fun characters.

This first issue lays the groundwork for what I am sure will be a fun story. I can't wait for issue two.

Overall. A great second issue with a cliffhanger that will leave you drooling for more.

Overall. A very satisfying issue, which sets me up perfectly for issue four when its released next month.

One aspect that I haven't mentioned in prior reviews is the fact that there is a feature at the close of each issue in which Hammer Films Historian Marcus Hearn the film and how its reputation has grown since its 1974 release. Hopefully, these features will be replicated in the Graphic Novel when it is released in April.

Good fun, but to bad that we can't have artwork that resembles the actual characters a little more as opposed to a fast and loose artists interpretation. The artwork is solid. It's just a matter of personal taste. I grew up with these characters.

Overall. The writer does a great job of moving the story forward and ends this issue on a more thoughtful note, which is likely going to build up to some more action in the next issue.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how all of this plays out in the next issue.

Overall. This has been a great homage to both TV shows and I'd personally love to see Cameron Deodio and Soo Lee do a stand-alone Bionic Woman story that makes further use of the TV shows mythology. Maybe something to do with the deadly fembots.

Overall. This is a great first issue with a cliffhanger that will definitelykeep fans guessing to next month.

Eisma's art once more does a great job of capturing the mood and the 1970's dress sense, which was quite frankly terrible. I mean you could literally hide half of NATO's armory up your trouser legs back in the 70's. Especially when wearing flared pants.

One small complaint though is the lettering on page 17 where the Satanbratan is whispering. I literally had to strain my eyes to read what they were saying. I suggest maybe changing to a different font as opposed to making the text so minutely small that it is barely readable.

OverallThis is a very satisfying conclusion to the story, which bridges the gap between the original ‘Charlies Angels' and some of the other Angels from the original television series, but concludes thing in such a way that leaves it open for a more modern take on Charlies Angels with the original trio working behind the scenes. Which might actually be something that could work.

Overall. Tons of fun with some laugh out loud moments as well as some genuinely emotional moments.

Compass! is the sort of pulp story that I can get behind. I love the fact that we have an Arab Muslim as the lead character and look forward to learning more about her and the part of history that she hails from.

I'm also, enjoying the fact that we haven't seen Margul Khan beyond a partial glimpse of his face through the tent that he occupies. This artistic decision on the part of Greenwood and the comics writers adds to the tension. It also has me wondering if he is a leper like the man that he sent after Shadidah.

Finally, I also, enjoy the final few pages where we get a little bit of a history lesson about the period of time in which this book is set. This month talks about the Mongols.

Overall. For me, Compass is easily one of the comic book highlights of 2022 when it comes to giving us a really good story with some strong female leads. I've really enjoyed the writers notes about the various parts of history that the book is referencing. This addition really adds value to the book and I hope that both writers get the opportunity to release a collected edition of this book in trade paperback format.

A fun book that uses ancient historical artifacts and cultures to tell a compelling and fun story. Please guys write a sequel.

Jim Zub delivers a story that has an element of mystery to it. As we are left wondering who or what is behind this unstoppable army of soldiers who are single-mindedly taking out entire communities. I look forward to finding out who or what is behind this army in over the course of the next couple of issues.

OverallJim Zub continues the story by fleshing out some character development for Brissa as she slowly gets to know and learn to trust our Barbarian anti-hero as they follow the undead army made up of former members of her tribe.

I can't wait to see where all of this goes in the next issue.

Jim Zub's first story arc of Conan with Titan comics comes to a crushing conclusion with Conan and his men doing what must be done. However, we do get a bit of a tease on the last page that suggests that the threat from the vanquished black statue isn't quite over. So it will be interesting to see how this all pans out as the series moves forward.

I also loved the dramatic reveal at the close of the issue where we see just what Tarims Touch actually is. Its a brilliantly drawn moment.

Jim Zub continues to stay true to the universe and characters that were set up in the 1930s by the late Robert E. Howard. The writer works brilliantly well with the art team and goes all out to portray the real brutality and savagery of the Conan character. Zub's writing also does a decent job of portraying Conan's street smarts when it comes to handling Terims Touch.

Having picked up from where the last issue immediately left off. This issue takes the story forward and provides plenty of gore and emotionally charged moments along the way. As you'd expect. This all ends with a twist in the tail and is building toward seeing our favorite Barbarian facing perhaps his most famous adversary. This is going to get real in the next issue and I for one can't wait.

To sum up. This comic is a great example of sequential storytelling where the art team and writer are in perfect sync.

Overall. A solid chapter in which we get to meet another iconic Robert E. Howard character.

A great story that is building to what will likely be a fantastic ending.

Overall a great issue with a shock twist that will keep fans on the edge of their seats ready for the next one.

An excellent conclusion to what has been a brilliant story arc.

It's a story very much about the will to survive and how frightening life and death-situations can push a person beyond their limits. Overall, this is a great start and I can't wait to see where the story goes.

Watching from the shadows is a Norse Goddess who is starting to take an interest in the fate of Conan as he charges forth with the Vanir into battle.

Another fantastic issue with a great mix of strong artwork and fantastic dialogue. I loved how much of a tease Atali becomes in her quest to try and conquer the Barbarian.

A nicely done story that looks at what kind of things can make the strongest of us question our faith as well as our own minds. I enjoyed the flashback sequences and hope we get more of that kind of thing in future issues I feel that Conan's childhood years are something that would be interesting to explore in future issues. Especially if it is juxtaposed with a present-day dilemma. Added to all of that. I'd also love to see more of Atali and other strong female sorcerers in future issues.

Jim Zub kicks off this new story arc, promising exciting adventures with Conan and his Pirate Queen, a character we've only seen in flashbacks until now. It will be intriguing to see how this story unfolds as it develops. This is a strong and engaging start.

I'm looking forward to seeing how all of this plays out in the next issue.

Overall, it's a strong start, with a fantastic final page that sets the stage for what's to come in future issues.

Jim Zub continues to captivate me with his stories of Conan the Barbarian and his many adventures. The comic stays true to the novels I remember reading in the 1980s, when I was diving into reprints of the classic Robert E. Howard tales. I really enjoyed the shape-shifting warrior and the battle with Conan, but what stood out to me most was how the ritual played out. We're left with a fantastic cliffhanger, where Sura attempts to sell the ancient Stygian Dagger to a tradersomething that's bound to end in trouble.

Jim Zub has put out a solid opening issue here. My only gripe being is that with it being such a large cast of characters. We didn't really get to see too much of Conan until the end, but I think Zub will probably address that in future issues.

The issue closes out with a great twist of the tale, which will most likely keep readers guessing until January 2020 when issue three hits comic racks.

Jim Zub's story sets the stage for what will no doubt be an epic ending as we see Moon Knight put on of the two bracelets on and find himself transported into the battle, which Conan and Agnes are already fighting. Quite how Kane will fall into all of this will no doubt become clear in next month's final issue and I can't wait to find out.

This has been a pretty good mini-series that has entertained.

Not bad, but there isn't really anything here as yet to keep me interested beyond the second issue.

A great read and who is to say that a movie series about Amara Creed could not be a thing in the future? I certainly would not bet against it.

Overall Cross To Beargets off to a pretty solid start as we get a solid idea of the type of character that Simon is. Hopefully, we'll get more on his older brother Edgar in future issues as I found him to be a rather compelling character. I also liked how it is hinted that The Ripper might well have been a member of the Order.

Overall. A real strong second issue, which ends with The Order riding off to chase down The Ripper.

OverallThis latest issue of Cross To Bear does a great job of exploring the backstory of Simon and Edgar and also allows them to resolve some of their personal issues. I really enjoyed how Edgar talks about how tough and honest life in the west, is so much easier for him. Then his old life when I was forever having to watch his back as the leader of the order. I also enjoyed the idea of the hunters being hunted by the person that they are hunting.

Writer Marko Stojanovi delivers a fantastic twist in this issue, which you don't see coming. And part of the reason for that is the build-up. The issue starts with Edgar mending some fences with Baltimore who he and his late wife adopted. We then go on the hunt for the Ripper, which slowly leads up to the twist about the Ripper not being the same person that killed Edgar's wife. But it's the extra layer to that twist that will blow you away.

Overall this is a pretty solid first issue and I'm invested enough to want to check out issue 2. Hopefully, we'll see a bit more action in the second issue too.

Overall. This is a solid second issue that moves the story along quite nicely. Obviously having had very little exposure to Dan Dare other than via the Big Finish Audio series. I'm no expert, but that's the beauty of what Titan is doing. It's a continuation but done in a way in which it is accessible to newer readers.

Overall. This was a great way to end the first story arc of Titan's new Dan Dare comics. I very much look forward to seeing how the next arc develops given that things are very much open for a shedload of new adventures.

A great first issue that felt good as a jumping-on point for me.

All that said. I'm enjoying this series and looking forward to seeing what happens in the next issue with the foes that Matt is about to face are both human and supernatural.

The best though is saved for last as the artist pulls off some brilliant panels that create a tense and dramatic build-up to the reveal of the big villain of the story.

OverallI continue to look forward to this comic each month. I enjoy how Matt Murdoch is narrating what is happening and also like how he is looking to justify his actions when he is in the Daredevil Costume. Of course, he would not be able to treat crooks in the same way as Daredevil does if he were a copper as there are rules.

Saladin Ahmed continues to spin an interesting story in which we see Father Matt adjusting to his new life while trying to stay true to his spirituality and the rules that he must live by. One of the most interesting aspects of Daredevil's character has always been the conflict of interest between his secret identity and his religious and spiritual beliefs. So it is great to see this aspect get explored more.

Over the entire run of this series. I've really enjoyed the clever use of the seven deadly sins and how their demons have been portrayed when they have possessed Murdock's friends. I can't wait to see what happens next.

A fantastic issue in which Daredevil gets a hot tip from a former gang member and reconnects with an old flame.

All the writers and artists on this book do a great job. I found the first two stories to be the most in line with the books current storylines and truly enjoyed those. But even the stories that stepped out of that mold were a lot of fun. I really enjoyed the final story, which was about Electra rescuing an old mans dog from some thugs. The old man thanks Electra and makes a really important point about the value of connection and family.

Saladin Ahmed continues to spin a pretty good story and the dialogue between Matt and Foggy when they have the meeting toward the end of the book is fantastic. It's helped by some great artwork specifically regarding Foggy's micro-expressions once he has heard Matt's story and is trying to process everything. The book ends on a fantastic cliffhanger in which Father Math will likely have a bit of explaining to do to one of the kids he looks after.

The Wages of Sin Equal Death is a strong issue that pays off on many of the plot threads we have seen over the past 9 issues. I loved the confrontation at the start where Jason calls Matt out for lying about his secret identity. It will be interesting to learn what happened to Jason's father when Matt eventually catches up with him. If indeed he is in any shape to do so. The confrontation between Daredevil and Fisk is nicely done and as you'd expect. We get some great dialogue between the two as they duke it out.

Saladin Ahmed continues to weave a fun story as he brings back Daredevils two most deadly of enemies and ramps up their strength to beyond superhuman capacity thanks to the evil demon that followed Matt out of hell when he was placed back on earth. I also love the plot twist concerning Jason and how that gets used by Fisk during their fight. I look forward to seeing how everything plays out in the next issue.

Overall. This was an enjoyable issue and I can't wait to see what happens next.

OverallAnother strong issue that continues to illustrate Matt Murdock's struggle to keep both of his lives as a kindly priest and avenging Daredevil in check. I enjoyed seeing the conflict that Matt struggles with when he refuses to help Fisk find the absolution that he is looking for. The final panel is pretty much telegraphed from the start of the book, but the journey toward it is well-written and truly earned.

OverallOverall this is a solid chapter where various revelations have unveiled Matt Murdock's inner conflict between being a man of god and an avenging angel. Its a perfect set up for what I think could well be a battle royale when Daredevil eventually confronts the Devil that has taken Jason and left a few corpses in its wake. I look forward to seeing how it all plays out.

Overall, this is a solid issue and one of the few comics I genuinely look forward to reading each month.

This was a solid issue that throws Daredevil into a series of challenges sure to keep him occupied for the next few installments. The conflict between Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson promises to deliver some compelling drama. It's already clear that a demon has taken hold of Foggy, exploiting both their friendship and Foggy's intimate knowledge of Matt to its fullest advantage. I'm especially looking forward to the inevitable courtroom showdown between Murdock and his oldest friendthere's nothing quite like a well-executed legal drama, whether in comics or on screen.

OverallOverall, this issue is another solid entry in the series. The fight between Daredevil and Wrath at the start is a fantastic spectacle, but the real heart of the story lies in the middle. When Matt has a conversation with She-Hulk and learns he is still licensed to practice law, it sets up the story brilliantly. This revelation builds perfectly into the tense phone call at the end of the issue, leaving readers eagerly anticipating what comes next.

Charles Soule brings us an intriguing Daredevil story that's apparently been in development since before COVID-19. The idea of an older Daredevil fighting crime is fascinating, and I'm looking forward to seeing how things unfold in the next two issues of the series.

Dark Knights of Steel opens up a world of possible storylines and gives alternative takes on many of DC's most popular characters. I can't wait to read more.

Also, seeing Amanda Waller as one of the El Knights who is vying for war was great. Bring on issue 3.

Overall. A solid third issue, which adds a few more interesting layers to the story.

Added to that is some really strong artwork from the art team, who I'd say do a fair bit of the heavy lifting in terms of showing and not telling. The panels of a Dying Martha Wayne asking the Els to take over the Kingdom were brilliantly drawn. As was Luthors transformation and introduction as a key villain. The final page where we see The Dark Knight and Alfred ride out is really cool. I can't wait for more Dark Knights of Steel.

However, Taylor saves the best for last. As he introduces the Kents into the storyline. But with a rather fun twist.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how all of this pans out in the next issue.

This is very much a fun book with some fantastic and fun Holiday Stories that fans will enjoy. So we'd like to thank for the following writers and artists for their parts in creating this fun package.

OverallA really strong first issue that does a fantastic job of setting up the world in which Ghosts have become as common a problem to society as rats. I look forward to seeing where this goes in future issues.

A solid second issue that does a nice job of building on what was set up in the opening issue. I loved the character of Miss Barrimore being somewhat of a fly in the ointment toward the people that run the prison ship. It's especially fun given that she is the daughter of the gazillionaire who owns the fleet of prison ships that are mining ectoplasm.

I'm loving the all-out action of this book and can't wait for the next issue.

The StoryContinuing from the last issue. Miss Barrimore has just learned that the leader of the Ghosts that have taken over The Perdition is her late mother. As the ghost continues to terrorize the ship. The mother of ghosts tells Miss Barrimore about how her father trapped her and all the other ghosts on Earth in order to harvest their ectoplasm. Now the ghosts want to get off the ship and Barrimore' s late mother wants her revenge and plans to send the head of Barrico Industries to hell. Thankfully, Gus has a plan that will save the few survivors on the ship, but it requires a huge sacrifice.

This first issue of Deep Cuts is a brilliant love letter to the early Jazz era of New Orleans as it shows us the path walked by a great many musicians of that time and some of the pitfalls that they faced.

Ray proceeds to take Gail to a Jazz club and offers her a crash course about Jazz, but by the close of the night, she is only beginning to get it. The following night she meets up with Jazz composer and pianist Leo Jones who teaches her the fundamentals of Jazz Chord progressions and how they work. At this point Gail begins to gain a better understanding and sets about writing her song.

Like the two prior issues of Deep Cuts. This issue tells a unique and fun story of a musician and their love of music. Only this time out. The principal character has a tough life decision to make, which is ultimately made for him.

I'm loving this Deep Cuts series and very much look forward to reading the next issue to learn about another musician's journey.

This is a great story, which is a departure from previous issues of Deep Cuts where the book has focused mainly on musicians. This story breaks that wall down and instead looks at a cynical music journalist who has lost touch with music and has generally been lazily writing about the established music of the day as opposed to exploring what is going on at the roots of the music scene.

Overall as somewhat of an armchair musician. I've really enjoyed reading these Deep Cuts stories and am kind of sad that the series has to end. Hopefully, something similar to this will come along in the years to come. As its been a fun blend of fiction with a bit of musical history thrown in.

In fact I have been having fun reading the individual comics for Luke Cage and Iron Fist and will likely have my review of issue 4 of Iron Fist go live in the next couple of days.

I look forward to seeing how all this will play out in the third issue when it is released next month.

Overall this was a fantastic third issue with some brilliant character beats and some wonderfully drawn art work byDavid Marquez

The art work by David Marquez is a veritable feast for the eyes. I loved the sense of motion he brought to the fight between our two heres and Diamond Back.

With Frank Castle injured and in the wind and Diamondback planning his next move. I look forward to seeing where all this will lead in issue 7 when it released next month.

David Marquez does some great art on this issue. I'm continuing to love how he lays out the action beats in this comic. There's a very street level viciousnessto how he draws the fights.

The art is pretty solid throughout the book and the artist and colorist make clever use of shadow and light and create an authentic atmosphere.

Overall, this is a fantastic issue, and I'm looking forward to seeing what unfolds in the third issue, expected around Christmas.

I'm eager to see how this unfolds and what will happen when Batman finally faces Asema.

A solid issue that kicks off with Batman and the team doing some welfare work, keeping an eye on the seven remaining kids they need to protect. The buildup to the first encounter with Asema is well-earned, and the payoff will likely leave you with plenty of intriguing questions and fun speculation about what's coming in the next issue.

I really enjoyed this issue and appreciated that we still don't know Asema's true identity. The storyline of Damian going undercover in a prison was especially engaging, and the implications of it are hugeparticularly when you factor in Damian's general disdain for authority.

A solid issue that has Batman putting his detective skills to work to uncover the connection between Asema and Joe Chill, tracing it back to his father's encounter with Chill years before he was killed. I'm really looking forward to seeing how all of this unfolds, especially with Batman about to confront Scarlett Scott.

While Batman faces off against Asema, Robin, Oracle (who also operates as Batgirl), and a few other Bat-Family members race to Faultless Prison. Their mission: to rescue the imprisoned teens from the clutches of the corrupt warden and the long-reaching influence of the shadowy force behind Sangraal and Theromise Health.

This first issue of Doc Savage: Ring of Fire goes on Sale in comics stores on the 29 March. If your a fan of the character. It is a must have.

One of the things that has been consistent throughout this book have been the various vehicles and weapons used. They are very true to the period and really help the story feel like a convincing pulp adventure. As ever. We are left with a really cool cliffhanger, which will keep us guessing until next months final issue.

I hope Dynamite do a bit of arm twisting and get Avallone and Acosta to work on another Doc Savage title. If they do. I'm definitely in.

If you appreciate pulp storytelling and enjoy old school detectives. Then you'll likely really get a kick out of Doctor Radar. Hopefully, the second issue will give us a little bit more from the villain's point of view.

Overall. A really enjoyable issue, which looks like it's setting things up for a brilliant finale. I just have to wonder how Houser will write Thomas Eddison and Nikola Tesla when The Doctor's finally catch up with them. It will be interesting for sure given the history that both these great inventors share.

Rose Tyler gets used to great effect in this final issue. I also loved the banter between Edison and Tesla when they both agreed that the world is not ready to hear about a time-traveling police box, which just happens to be bigger on the inside.

Once again Jody Houser delivers a fun story, which I am sure is going to have lots of plot twists as it all develops. This opening issue does not include the Doctor. But it would seem that The 12th Doctor is likely to turn up at some stage in this story. However, for now, the main story focuses on Doom and her remaining 24 hours as she tries to find the Doctor. And not The Doctor Who that Missy is pretending to be.

Overall. The story doesn't really conclude, but sometimes a story left open can make for a better story or even stories.

Empire of the Wolf is looking to have some awesome fun with time travel and alternate universes and I can't wait for the next issue to see what happens next.

Jody Houser does a solid job of writing the dialogue and pretty much nails the personalities of these two Doctors, who are from very different eras of the series. I particularly liked how the 11th Doctor and 8 start bickering from the moment that they meet. And I also appreciated how Rose had to separate them like a mother separating two little boys. Overall. A fun story with a little bit of a mystery for our two Doctors to solve. I'm looking forward to February for the next issue.

Jody Houser continues to impress with her knowledge of pop culture television. I loved the part of this issue when Rose Tyler talks herself up to the 8th Doctor in order to try and get into the mindset of the Empress. I loved how she referenced her first year of adventures with the 9th Doctor and referenced herself as The Bad Wolf who looked into the eye of the time vortex.

Jody Houser does a great job of wrapping this story up. I really enjoyed how she nailed the back and forth between the two doctors as they both come up with their plan at the same time by completing each other's sentences. It's obvious that Houser knows her Doctor Who and is well versed in both the modern and classic incarnations, which really shines through.

This is a really solid start. The banter between the two villains is great and it was nice to see The Third Doctor in comics again. It's going to be fun and interesting to see what will happen when the Third and Twelfth Doctor's eventually meet. Indeed, what will the Third Doctor make of Missy?

This is a fun issue that expands on the story just enough to keep you on the edge of your seat. I loved the references to the Corsair toward the close of the issue. Which has me hoping that she will turn up at some stage. As for the real Doctor. We still have no clue as to what fate has befallen him. But I'm sure it will not be permanent.

Jody Houser continues to write some stonkingly brilliant Doctor Who and she really should be offered a writing gig on the actual show.

As with previous issues. Jody Houser continues to capture the voices of the various characters brilliantly.

This is a fun book that both classic and modern Doctor Who fans will enjoy.

This is a promising start to what looks set to be a fun adventure.

This second issue does a great job of continuing the story and watching Taslo's character slowly evolve from a by-the-book time agent to someone that is worthy of being the Doctor's companion is fun to watch. In a way Taslo's act first and question later reminds me a bit of the 4th Doctor's companion, Leela.

OverallJody Houser once again delivers a cracking mystery for our hero to solve. I particularly enjoyed the reveal that Taslo was working for the Gallifrey Council Member that issued them with their orders. The dialogue between the characters is sharp and crisp and things have been set up brilliantly for the next issue. The question being. Who will Taslo ultimately align with as we get closer to the final issue?

This issue of Origins closes out the first story arc featuring The Fugitive Doctor, but also opens things up for the beginnings of The Doctor's time on the run. The scientist who was behind finding The Doctor has sanctioned Gallifreyan security services to go after her.

Overall, this is promising start to a story that really explores The Doctor and Ruby's friendship.

Overall. A fantastic issue that seems to be setting up something rather sinister. I can't wait for the next issue.

Overall, a satisfying conclusion to what has been a truly enjoyable story. I'm excited to see what adventures lie ahead!

This is a wonderful little story, which will have you wondering what the writer and artist will do with the Eleventh and Twelve incarnations of Doctor Who. We also get a little glimpse of some of the artwork we will see in the Thirteenth Doctor Adventures when they start.

I really enjoyed this issue. The stories were not the best, but certainly weren't the worst you'd read either. Afterall you can only do so much for a one-shot, and this pretty much shows off what can be done, but you really do find yourself wanting more.

Overall. I really enjoyed this first issue. It feels very much like Cartmel and Aaronovitch have never really stopped writing the seventh Doctor and Ace because of the dialogue and friendlybanter that was Ace and The Doctor is very much there.

Paul Cornell does some outstanding work in that he finds the character voices with great ease.

If your a fan of the television adventures of the Third Doctor. Then you can't really go wrong with this comic book iteration. Paul Cornell's love of Doctor Who and snappy dialogue really shines through in this series. So much so that I can't wait to read the next issue.

This book continues to be an event for me in the truest sense of the word. I hope that Titan will give the nod to do more Third Doctor stories and maybe some Second Doctor ones too.

While it is sad that Paul Cornell is making this is final ‘Doctor Who' story. It is a great story to end on.

This is a really good collection of stories and a great way to introduce comic readers to the 13th Doctor and Doctor Who in general.

Overall. I really enjoyed this first issue of 2020, which is basically issue one of volume two of 13s comic book adventures. Houser continues to write the 13th Doctor better than she is written in the television series, but for how long remains to be seen. Given that the new series recently started and seemed to have shown a little improvement over last year's poor showing.

Writer Jody Houser has managed to offer up an intriguing Christmas mystery here and leaves us with a fantastic cliffhanger and a few questions. One of which being, 'is Santa really a bad guy?'

Doctor Who: The 13th Doctor #1 will be out in all good comics stores on Wednesday 7 November.

A fairly good issue that moves the story forward a little and comes up with a wicked way to introduce the Autons while simultaneously providing a scary final page that involves the weeping angels. Whatever you do. Don't ever blink.

Overall. I'm in it for one more issue, but I hope the story moves a bit quicker in the next issue.

This second book of the story arc scores really high on the Holiday fun factor despite the fact that it was sort of a predictable story, but with the solid artwork and the feel-good factor. You'd have to be a total Grinch not to go along with it.

All that said. The art was solid and the story is not so bad that I don't want to see more from writer Jody Houser because there was potential here for a bigger and more sinister arc that could have tested and stretch the characters out. Hopefully, we get to see that happen in future arcs.

The final page leaves us with a cracking cliffhanger as we return to London, which has been completely decimated. We do get a hint that it may not be our version of London because there is a wanted poster for what looks a little bit like Rose Tyler, which could suggest that it is the parallel version of London.

A really strong start, which ends on a cliffhanger that will perhaps just about keep fans hanging on for more to come in the next issue.

OverallWriter Jody Houser has managed to deliver a fun little mystery here, which makes better use of the characters and storytelling potential than the actual television series manages to do.

Overall. A really strong issue with a lot to like. But what does the podcast have to do with it all? I suspect we'll find out what it all means in the next issue. And I can't wait.

Houser gives us a story, which could only be done on Doctor Who and this is one that I think Chris Chibnall should look at commissioning for the TV series. Given that it is better than a majority of what he put out in his first season as the Doctor Who showrunner.

Overall. I have really enjoyed this comic and this story arc. I'd love to see the Corsair again in future issues. Why the BBC haven't used her in the TV series is beyond me.

Overall a great first issue that has brought back some fond memories of the animated series that I loved to watch back in the 1980s.

This is another enjoyable issue, which sees the group go out to see in search of Bobby and some pirate booty.

I enjoyed this book and hope that we get to see further adventures in the future.

Stephen Graham Jones gets off to a great start with Earthdivers. I really enjoyed the fact that Tad was having to do things that he'd not dream of doing in order to fit in. The killing of the sailor at the start is pretty much the first instance of Tad having to go against his true nature so he can move forward with his mission. I'm looking forward to the next issue to see where this goes.

Am loving the conversations between Sosh and Yellow Kid that speculate about what might happen if they change things for the worse. Would they go back again and try and change that?

This was a really strong issue that took time to tell a smaller story within the larger story. I really enjoyed the interplay between Emily and this mysterious Native American Elder who just pretty much shows up out of nowhere. I also enjoyed how the elder was kind of noncommital when answering Emily's question about whether or not Tad had succeeded.

As far as story progression goes. This issue is a tad slow as it deals a lot with Tad being a prisoner and getting severely beaten by Columbus's men. But not severely enough for him to be not any use. The segments set in 2112 take an interesting turn when Emily sees the time-travel device as an opportunity to completely reset time.

OverallA solid issue which continues to push the story forward. However it is beginning to get a little confusing with the amount of time travel elements as extra layers get added to the story, which may have some. Particularly me having to check back and re – read the previous issues to keep up. As I have lost the plot a little with the events of 2112. Hopefully things become clearer when we see events unfold in the next issue.

This first story arc of Earthdivers comes to a thrilling end and we quickly learn about how Tad's actions in 1492 impacted the lives of Sosh, Emily and Yellow Kid. So it will be interesting to see what they decide to do next when they engage in a mission that will take place in 1776.

A great first issue with what feels like a simpler story than the one that has been told in previous issues. But that's only because it is focused mainly on Tawny and not a bunch of people across more than one timeline.

This really personal story about Tawny trying to find her kids is proving to be quite a bit of fun. I love her plan to infect the Solutrean people with whatever cold virus she has gotten. As that very much mirrors, what happened to America's Native peoples when the European Settlers came. I also love the fact that Tawny is conscious of the effects that her actions may be having on the future of America.

This was a satisfying conclusion to the story, which leaves Tawny in a place where some other writer can come in and pick her story up for the future. Whatever that will hold.

A really funny book. I can't wait to see how Elvira handles a Kubric movie in the next issue.

This was a really fun issue that managed to reference a great many of Kubrick's movies including 2001 A Space Odyssey, Eyes Wide Shut, A Clockwork Orange, and more. But most of the jokes and humor come from how many of Jack Nicholson's movies get referenced throughout the book. I particularly enjoyed how Avallone made use of the classic "You Need Me on that Wall speech from 'A Few Good Men', which is perhaps one of my favorite movies to come out of the 1990s.

Another fun moment is when Elvira reassures the ship's cat that the Alien will not eat him as it's not Alf. At which point a rarely used thought bubble comes up from the cat referring to the alien Alf being a threat to the feline spieces or words to that effect. You really need to read the book to get the joke. As well as watch the 80s sitcom Alf, who was a cute and funny alien that was always threatening to eat the family cat.

The sequence of panels where Teddy and Elvira rush for the TV remote was also well drawn and quite fun.

Overall this is a perfect conclusion to 2022. Bring on Elvira in Monsterland in 2023. What next King Kong and Faye Ray? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Overall this is lots of fun and I can't wait to see where it goes next.

This second issue of Elvira in Monsterland delivers the laughs and whacky plot twists that we have all come to love and know from David Avallone. I really enjoyed some of the meta moments where we saw the movie characters break characters to talk with Elvira. The fun of those kinds of moments never gets old. I mean Karloff in full monster makeup enjoying a cup of Earl Grey Tea just feels so right.

This was a fun issue that did a respectable job of moving the story forward and given that the next issue will include some Kaiju. I can't wait to see what Elvira makes of those movies and what further banter she will get to have with Vlad.

I can't wait to see what this writer cooks up next. Will the Kaiju start their conquest of Earth in Tokyo or will they launch their attack in Avallone's backyard? I look forward to finding out.

David Avallone delivers a knockout punch of fun with an issue that goes a little meta with Elvira telling him how to write the story by insisting that there should be no flashbacks. Add to that the two parody versions of Marvel and DC's iconic Superhero teams and you are in for one hell of a fun finale.

Storywise. This gets off to a brilliant start. The in-jokes are thick and fast and the initial meeting with Elvira and her horror hero was well executed. I can't wait to read the second issue.

OverallAnkhs For The Mammariesis a solid second issue that continues the story and keeps your interest. I loved the flashback sequence and how that builds to Elvira's meeting with Claudia. I can't wait to see how this all will pan out in the next issue. Which is going to involve more traveling for this duo.

Another solid issue with lots of cheeky jokes and fun innuendo and a brilliant cliffhanger that will have you on the edge of your seat.

Once again David Avallone proves to be a master of pulp storytelling as well as the double entendre. He captures Elvira's personality brilliantly and pretty much every interaction that she has is brilliantly written. I also really enjoyed how well-written the banter was between Elvira and Vincent Price and would love to see this pairing return for more adventures.

This is a great first issue, which sets the premise up well and ends on a cliffhanger that will have fans eating their shorts for an entire month. Dave Avallone as always brings some fantastic dialogue to his take on Elvira who is every bit as witty as his take on Battie Page.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what Avallone and Acosta come up with for the next issue. Hopefully Elvira will meet someone that actually knows a thing or two about how to fight vampires.

I look forward to the next issue, which is very likely to drop later this month.

I look forward to next months issue to find out how Elvira will manage to get home.

Overall. A wonderful issue. Hopefully, the wait will not seem as long for issue 6.

The story has had some nice twist and turns and has given artist Dave Acosta and lot of room to play around with a lot of different visual ideas. I loved the shopping mall, which makes so much sense given that shopping malls are many peoples idea of a personal hell.

The team of Avallone and Acosta have hit another winner with this comic and I really look forward to seeing how it concludes.

Overall. A fun read and definitely worth getting when it comes out as a graphic novel.

Overall. A really strong start. I can't wait for the next issue.

OverallDave Avallone continues to amuse with his characterisation of Elvira and the fairly consistent breaking of the third wall as she addresses readers directly. I can't wait to see how the writer will end this story arc. Especially in light of many of the recent issues he has already done.

OverallThe issue ends as we learn which demon that the coven has gone and summoned, which will no doubt keep the most ardent readers of this book on the edge of their seats for a whole month. But I am sure it will be well worth the wait.

OverallThis is a wonderful conclusion to what has been a fantastic 12 issues of fun and frolics with Elvira and her incredible gift for puns. We get several moments in this issue where Elvira breaks the third wall and talks directly to us about what Dave Avallone has in store, but the most fun is had in the closing few panels where both writer and artist make a brief cameo. Overall a fun way to close out what has been a surprisingly long and fun run.

Overall. An Enjoyable read and great if you want to celebrate Halloween in the Spring.

OverallThis is a promising start for what hopefully will be a great Elvira adventure with plenty of laughs and puns along the way. David Avallone has a great track record when it comes to writing for characters like Elvira and his last series with Elvira has set the bar high. Hopefully, this new one will be every bit as enthralling.

I look forward to the third issue, which will hit next month.

I loved a lot of the fish puns at the start of the book where Elvira is talking to the two Government Agents from The U.S. Department for Fish and Wildlife. I also loved the dialogue exchanged between Elvira and Gil and have to give Letterer Taylor Esposito credit for some nice work for his part in creating Gil's unique voice.

This has been a fun series to follow. It is apparent that David Avallone's imagination knows no bounds when it comes to writing leading ladies in comics, which is something that has been apparent since he released his Betty Page comics. His take on Elvira has been as good as Betty. So much so that I think it would be fun to see a crossover between the two ladies in a future series. You could probably do Elvira, Betty Page, and Vampirella in the one series. Of course, Dynamite would have to give the go-ahead on that, but hell. I'd read it.

All that said. Given how this issue ended. I am definitely on board to follow the story arc through because I really want to see how Betsy Braddock handles her new role as England's protector.

OverallThus far Tini Howard has done a fairly good job of moving this story forward. We get a look at some Scottish folklore here when it comes to the Selkie and it was fun to see some Druids brought into the story. We also learn that it is a rival tribe to these druids that have been helping Morgana, which could make for some interesting events in issue 3 given that Apocalypse and unconscious Rogue are the only defence for the Lighthouse given that Captain Britain has gone off to the otherworld.

OverallTim Howard's story moves forward at a nice pace and it will be interesting to learn if Betsy and the team will be able to save Brian and Rogue from their respective fates. I'm looking forward to seeing how Pete Wisdom and MI-13's involvement will help or hinder them in the next issue.

There was some really cool stuff in this issue. Writer Tim Howard seems to be setting up a huge challenge for Betsy Braddock to take on in the next issue where she will have to find a way to return all the mythical monsters back to their own realm and keep Britain safe, but how will she manage to do that with Akaba being against her as well as Morgan Le Fey? I guess we are going to have to wait and see, but it does look like Apocalypse may have a bigger role to play as the story moves forward.

Overall. This was a pretty enjoyable issue. Although I will admit to having had a little trouble following at times due to the fact that my head is still a little foggy with a cold and so forth.

Overall. A fun read and a book that I will continue to follow.

There's enough here for me to invest in future issues.

This issue seems to wrap up the hunting part of the story arc, but I get the feeling there's more to come and look forwards to finding out whether or not Cullen Bloodstone will seek revenge on Betsy and her team. Especially given that he was in contact with eth Akkabba Coven. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

I'm also beginning to wonder why we have a few X-Men trusting the judgment of Apocalypse in all of this and hope we get some answers to that soon as well. Especially given my limited knowledge of their history.

Overall. A solid issue that begins to stitch together various plot points from earlier issues. I look forward to seeing how things progress next month. Especially given how things ended in this issue.

I look forward to seeing how all of this will play out in the next issue and finding out how Betsy's chat with Saturnyne will turn out.

I loved the sequence where Saturnyne was explaining to Betsy how much Brian Braddock was an ally to her and her people and seeing all the other Captain Britains was also a bit of a thrill. I still find myself a little unsure in regards to the sides in this book given that nothing seems to be straightforward or very black and white, but I guess that is why am enjoying the story.

OverallThis was a fun issue of Excalibur, which used politics and intrigue really well as Saturnine tried to play the Braddocks off against each other in order to try and get Brian to be the main protector of the Citadel and thus guard the various gateways into other universes. Thankfully we didn't get too much of apocalypse's subtle plotting in this issue, but he does get referenced. I loved the descriptions within the book about the history of the various swords as well as the history of the Captain Britain Corps. It is a good way to include new readers into the story. Overall. A really fun issue.

A really fun issue. That leaves us with more questions than answers.

The moments in the Citadel with Saturnyne and Shogo are juxtaposed brilliantly with the chaos of what is happening as the Mutant army and its lowering numbers continue to battle the Arakki forces.

I look forward to seeing how all of this pans out in the next issue.

Overall. A really fun issue with some great story twists. Which are made more interesting with the addition of Pete Wisdom.

I've really been enjoying how Richtor's character has developed and I love the idea of introducing more magic into the story as well as figuring out the rules of that magic as well as its costs.

We also get some brilliant panels of Psylocke as she visits Otherworld in order to track down Betsy. The images of her meditating and conversing with Betsy while she is in the well looked really awesome and when you see those images you can easily see it envisaged in a movie. Hopefully someday Disney will get to Captain Britain and the mythology that surrounds the character.

Overall. I really enjoyed THE PHANTOM MENACE! I particularly enjoyed how we got to see a part of Malice's origin story to sort of help make sense of why Betsy and Psylocke are so keen to try and help her.

A great issue, which looks to be bringing things full circle.

Overall. A great issue with some brilliant stuff being set up for future issues.

Overall. This is a really fun issue that offered up a few laughs as well as some nice action beats.

OverallTini Howard continues to weave an interesting and fun story. I've really enjoyed the inclusion of Merlyn and now King Arthur. Though King Arthur being the bad guy in this is something I am not sure about. Hopefully, Betsy and her team are able to make him see reason. As I suspect Merlyn's influence on Arthur is a huge part of what will wind up resolving this story arc. Furthermore, I'm finding Merlyn being such a closed-minded character to be a little disturbing. However, I do realise that art. Even when it comes to comics is rather subjective. And I am kind of enjoying how this book is challenging some of my pre-conceived ideas when it comes to the King Arthur legends.

The final few pages are breathtaking and leave us with a fantastic cliffhanger. But as we get reminded of in the issue. Betsy Braddock always comes back.

Overall. Otherworld is a pretty good way for this book to end. Or maybe begin something new. As it is kind of left open.

This prelude does a wonderful job of adding more layers to a story arc that was started a few months back in the regular ongoing Star Trek comics series. I look forward to reading the first official issue next week to see how it will cross over with the new Defiant book as well as the other Star Trek comic titles that I buy.

The team at Dynamite comics have done a wonderful job with this series and really nailed all of the story and character and story beats in such a way that you feel like you are watching the old cartoon series.

Dan Watters opening story for the Fifteenth Doctor's comic book adventures gives us a pretty strong start by introducing us to a vicious villain that seems determined to put an end to the Doctor's time-traveling heroics. The dialogue between The Doctor and Ruby is fairly solid and felt in line with what we have seen on the TV show thus far.

Fighting America will be released next week and is well worth a look if you love pulp style stories.

Fighting America will be released next week and is well worth a look if you love pulp style stories.

If you enjoyed the first issue. Then I'd highly recommendyou get this second one.

This is a solid story with some spectacular artwork that very much syncs with what fans of the film would have seen on the big screens back when it was released in 1983. Hopefully, this issue will be the launch of a new line of comics for Dynamite.

The StoryIn the fight between Darkwolf and Otwa, the latter is defeated. However, Darkwolf spares his life and heads off. Meanwhile, a conclave of the fire tribes is held to decide a course of action against Juliana and the Ice Tribe. Elsewhere Juliana confirms Nekron as her new Heir given that Kaledan is now gone. Having found Otwa's broken body on retrieved it. Roliel works her magic to renew her son's strength but is interrupted part way by Juliana.

Overall though this is an enjoyable start to another Adventure for Flash Gordon and his friends and I look forward to reading the next issue with great anticipation.

This was another stand-alone story, which does a nice job of setting up the world that Forgotten Runes is set in. I appreciated how the human villagers were distrustful of magic and the result of that mistrust is very reminiscent of what was done to women who were suspected of being witches during the 15th to 18th century. The book also makes subtle reference to global warming where Willow complains about the smoke coming from the village chimneys when she is returning Leah's father.

This was a really cool story that spoke to me on quite a few levels.

There's a great sequence in the book where Properpine meets a man who needs help with is Horse. However when the man tries to tell her about meeting a man called Godfrey a snake comes out of his mouth and chokes him in the process. Its quite a fun and somewhat scary visual.

Forgotten Runes: Wizard's Cult has been a good read thus far and one of the books that I look forward to each month. So, I'm looking forward to seeing how it all resolves in the 6th and final issue.

You also get a fantastic introduction to the comic by Ian Livingston who talks about his inspiration and how he developed the original Freeway Fighter as a game book.

Two issues in and I'm now looking forward to seeing how things will play out in the third issue, which goes on sale next month.

I picked up this first issue of Frontiersman on a whim as I was looking for an issue one of something new to jump on board with. So, I have very little knowledge of the character or any past stories that he may well have featured in. But the little I have read here. I've generally liked it. I quite enjoyed the social commentary of the book and really appreciated Frontiersman's reluctance to go back out into the big bad world to make a stand on something. I particularly enjoyed Frontiersman's conversation with Professor Unicell toward the end of the book. And look forward to seeing where this all goes in the second issue.

Patrick Kindlon adds a little more backstory to the plot as we see a few supervillains observing FM's latest stunts. The discussion between FM and Galaxie Prime is a lot of fun and very current as GP describes themself as being non-binary, which is a fun and interesting commentary on gender politics and identity. But a bulk of the discussion was GP pleading with FM to put them in contact with his Ex.

A Solid issue with a fantastic setup for next month's chapter.

OverallWhile there isn't too much action in this issue. We do get a nice exploration of Ethan's past relationship with Bryn and it looks like things may spill over into the next issue. The question is will Bryn stand by her man. Or will she go over to the dark side and stand against him.

Overall. A fantastic issue to close the story arc on, and a wonderful cliffhanger to keep us all guessing about what is to come next.

A brilliant book, which manages to evoke fond memories of Saturday Morning cartoons from the 1980s. I loved the little moral story tagged on at the end where a young kid is having trouble with his computer and gets a bit of advice from Mainframe who tells the kid that he should always think before taking any drastic actions. This sort of moral story at the end of a story was pretty common in 80s cartoons. I can't wait to see what happens in the next issue. I loved this.

Erik Burnham continues to capture the spirit of G.I. Joe's Saturday Morning Adventures brilliantly.

The artist also captured the dynamic movements of the battles between the Joe's and Cobra Command's people. But it was the battle in the arena between Duke and the Beast, which was the highlight.

Overall. This mini-series has been a lot of fun and has brought back a few fond memories of watching the animated show. It is definitely a book that I will pick up if IDW releases it as a trade paperback at some point.

A strong issue with a cliffhanger that will get resolved in issue 10 of the regular book that will be on sale soon. As a bonus for this bumper issue we also get a chance to revisit the events of issue 170 by Frank Miller A.K.A. "THE KINGPIN MUST DIE! So this issue is truly a fiskfull of dollars. I can't wait for the next issue.

This is my first Godzilla comic. So I was unaware of past events that this comic referenced. But found the story and the characters to be quite easy to get to know so this felt like a pretty good jumping-on point for the series.

Erik Burnham continues to tease a little bit of the story out as opposed to revealing everything all at once. I loved the sequence where June and May were speaking psychically to Cedric and his friends from Infant Island and can imagine this story being a really cool animated cartoon series. I look forward to reading the next chapter when it drops next month.

Godzilla: Monsters & ProtectorsAll Hail the King! is proving to be a really entertaining book. I really like Cedric as a central character as have met kids like him in real life that think they know it all when they feel they are the sole authority on something. Also, the monster drawings are awesome. The Godzilla character drawing reminds me of the old Hanna Barbara animated show.

I continue to enjoy this story as the storyline and art style remind for of a really good Saturday morning cartoon. I love the idea of school kids having a connection to these monsters and being able to have some form of influence over them. I also enjoy seeing how threatened Cedric seems to feel when Karen is around.

A solid opening issue of Steve Orlando. It has been a few years since I read any of DC Comics take on Frankenstein and had forgotten about his tendency to sometime talk in rhyme. I also loved how Orlando gradually introduces us to a few of the monsters and their tragic backstories throughout the issue. I'm wanting to look up Orca now on the DC Database to find out more about her. Because she is a character I was not familiar with until this issue.

A fairly strong second issue, which gets the various characters where they need to be in order for Frankenstein to begin the fight back. I look forward to seeing where this will go in the next issue. Too bad there is only going to be six in all.

A great issue with a nice ending that will lead nicely into issue 4 next month.

A solid issue to a series that has been getting better with each chapter.

OverallSteve Orlando has set things up beautifully for next month's final issue in which we will see Melmoth ultimately defeated, but the how of that remains to be seen given that the closing page of this issue stacks the odds a tad more in Melmoths favor. Either way. I'm looking forward to seeing how all of this ends.

OverallSteve Orlando concludes what has been an absolutely epic story and leaves himself a little wiggle room to return by having Frankenstein say that he will be waiting to see what other evils will seep into this universe from the multiverse. Hopefully, he will get a chance to tell us that story in another mini-series at some future date.

This is a nice jumping on point for new readers and a fantastic way to introduce a new generation of comic book fans to Green Hornet. The artwork is serviceable with some nice touches and Chu's voicings for the various characters are very nicely done.

Overall. A solid second issue with a surprising cliffhanger that most fans will likely enjoy while simultaneouslyseeing it as a WTF moment. I look forward to the next issue to see where the story is going to go. Will we be staying in Istanbul for awhile? I hope so.
