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.

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.

A fantastic issue to end Hit-Girl's adventure in Rome on which leaves things open for a possible future visit to the famed Italian City in the future thanks to a fun twist.

I loved how the issue was bookended in the same way that it began. With Masqueradegiving an interview to the press, but this time with a more hopeful tone.

This was another great issue, which left a few characters in a standoff toward the close of the issue. I loved the whole Government conspiracy plot, which is likely to make Sharkey into more of a reluctant anti-hero as the story progresses. I can almost hear the voice of actor Paul Darrow from Blake's 7 for some weird reason.

So. Did this final issue deliver? Hell yeah… and then some.

OverallA fantastic way to close out the story. The final moments in which we see Thena and Cody kind of put me in a mind a little of the ending to ‘Trading Places'. This is another one that I will be looking to buy a physical copy of when it is released on trade. If it is out in time for Christmas. It is one I'd definitely add to the list.

I look forward to next month's issue so I can see how this story arc will meld into the next one. The past few months of this ongoing series have been really strong and have introduced some fantastic characters along the way. So I am looking forward to seeing how they come across Hoth and what difficulties they get into as they set up the new Rebel base. That is assuming that we get to see it happen.

Either way. Whatever happens. I'm sticking with this until Marvel decide to end the ongoing. But it would be great to actually advance the story forward so new fans can see what happens between films as well as events that happen in post Return of the Jedi. Maybe show us how the First Order came to be.

A satisfying conclusion to what has been a wonderful story with a lot of fantastic plot twists. I'd love to see The Good Asian adapted to film or television as it is definitely something that I'd watch. If Pichetshote were allowed control of how it was adapted to screen.

Overall. This is a really strong first issue and I am definately on the hook to see what this goes in future issues.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

The action doesn't end there. We get some crazy visuals of The Joker and Harley Sinn as they torture Harley Quinn. The final moments that take place in that room are really well-drawn. In fact, we see real growth. If you get what I mean.

Overall. A really solid final issue that does a solid job of setting things up for some future adventures, which I hope to read real soon. It's just a pity that I am no longer able to subscribe to my digital comics due to Amazon's idiotic revamp of Comixology. As their dumb move has definitely impacted our review schedule.

I look forward to reading issue four of this book as and when it comes out.

We also get some nice POV panels when one of Roland's old Toff mates is describing how smart piss works. It's nearly enough to put one off of using public toilets. Surely there is a counter gadget for it.

This is a great book that most fantasy fans, as well as those that love Norse mythology, will really enjoy. I can't wait to see the second issue of this when it comes out. It's a brilliant book.

Overall. I can't wait to get my hands on the next issue. A great read.

Overall I'm getting the trade of this. But I'm also glad that I got all the issues on Comixology. If you enjoy a mystery, with a bit of fun history thrown into the mix. Then this book comes highly recommended. I look forward to more Minky Woodcock in the future.

Overall. I've really enjoyed this series of comics. It's been a highlight of my comics reading list for the last six months and I will definitely be treating myself to the trade paperback collecting all six issues when it comes out.

A brilliant issue, which has me so hyped for what is to come next month. I sense things are going to get really bad for our heroes before they'llget better.

If we don't see this made into a TV series or a movie in the future. I'll be very surprised.

OverallThis issue was worth the wait. I especially enjoyed the quieter moments where Cody and Thena get to do a little bonding, which sort of put me in mind of films such as Thelma and Louise. It is very apparent that seeds are being sewn for the final issue, which promises to be an absolute stonker if the final page cliffhanger is anything to go by. Like pretty much most readers. I can't wait to see how all of this will end, but also hope it will lead to some further adventures for these two strong female characters.

David Pepose pulls off a storming second issue, which is only interrupted by a four-page preview of the new Johnny Quest comic, which comes out in August sandwiched between the prologue and main story.

David Pepose continues to capture the spirit and adventure of the old Space Ghost cartoon series while adding some nice modern touches to the characters. I loved the various exchanges of dialogue between Ghost and Widow when she was telling him her plan. But the best dialogue comes when we see Widow trying to tempt Jan into joining her.

If you are a fan of Star Trek. Even only a casual fan. I highly recommend that you read this Annual.

The StoryWhile Miles O'Brien's rescue attempt of his old friend Worf gets interrupted by Dr. Julian Bashire who is acting on behalf of Section 31, things on Antara are escalating as Worf readies the locals for the fight of their lives. Elsewhere on the planet Ro and B'Elanna make repairs on some ancient attack ships in which they hope to use in their defense of Antara. Meanwhile, Revo is getting more suspicious about his Daughter Sela and has assigned two of his best to follow her. Meanwhile, Spock has learned that the Romulan Star System is living on borrowed time.

A really fun issue, which cat lovers will enjoy everywhere.

Overall. A really great issue, which felt very much like a real Star Wars story. I can't wait to read how this all concludes and leads into the events we have already seen in Return of the Jedi.

It has been a bit of a wait for this issue due to the hold up that was created by the pandemic, but it proved to be worth the wait. The illustration and sequential storytelling of the fight between Bossk and Valance was brilliantly done and the dialogue from writer Ethan Sacks was everything that you'd expect from the two characters who have a longstanding hatred of each other. A hatred that I'd like to see explored more in future issues.

I also liked the foreshadowing that Qi'ra's Crimson Reign is going to end in tragedy. As to how it will all play out remains to be seen. But if this opener is anything to go by. S### is going to kick off.

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.

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.

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

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. 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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Overall. A fantastic issue with a brilliantly executed reintroduction of Starlord into the team.

OverallThis story arc is proving to be a rather good Guardians of the Galaxy story. And as someone that is still quite new to reading their comic book adventures. I can't wait to see how they will fair against Ego. Who we last got to see in the second of the movies.

OverallAnother really enjoyable issue, which shows us why so many people fell in love with the character of Kate Bishop. I've really enjoyed the moments throughout all issues thus far where we have heard Kate's internal dialogue. You can almost imagine it as narration in the Marvel TV series, which I hope we'll get to see after the success of the Hawkeye TV series.

If you have been following this series. Then you'll already know how good it's been, but for those that haven't checked this one out. I'd highly recommendthat you get onto Comixology or look out for the trade because Lemire does a fantastic job of capturing the spirit that Mark Millar imbued into this character and the story is nicely done.

An entertaining story with some great characters. Please Zenescope make this an ongoing comic.

The best panels though come toward the end of the book where we see Dr. X-Ray get attacked by his latest money-making scheme, which happens to be a rare kind of Monkey that goes berserk when the Dr tries to feed it a banana.

Issue 6 of ‘James Bond' will hit comic book stores this Wednesday.

This final issue of 'James Bond: Agent of Spectre' delivers. Christos N. Gage has consistently impressed throughout this story arc giving us a Bond story that feels extremely cinematic.

I'm looking forward to seeing how the visit to the island goes down in next month's book.

I also really enjoyed how Constantine went about setting the bait for his older self. Overall. This is a satisfying conclusion to what has been a great 12 issue run. In fact, I'd love to see this done as an animated movie at some stage.

As Dr. Fate tried to help. He finds himself transported to the near future where he has an unusual green-skinned apprentice. However, he is finally able to find a few fragments of Helena's life that he connects to.

I look forward with tons and tons of anticipation for next months issue.

This is a really strong issue, which ties up a few loose ends and leaves us with a few questions to ponder.

Overall. Kick-Ass #17 is another fun-filled and edgy chapter of what has been a fantastic story arc thus far.

Overall. This is a solid issue that flies by. I can't wait until next month to see how the story continues.

A great third issue that continues the story and gives us some of the most gruesome deaths we have seen to date. It will be interesting to see how the Captain and his crew cope with Kong, who is watching them very closely.

OverallThis is a fantastic second issue, which sees the events from issue one escalate and then some. This is very much the anti-james bond book and gives us a secret agent that has suddenly grown a set and is truly looking to question the morality of the government and the systems that he has spent his life protecting.

Morrison's use of the commercialization of Christmas to tell this story is done in a fun way without being too in your face. The artwork throughout is top notch. Especially when we see so many zombie Santa'son the page. East slightly different than the others.

This was a solid story and a very worthy addition to the legacy of Tarzan. It's just a shame that Dynamite has to title this comic Lord of the Jungle due to licensing reasons because this was a very worthy Tarzan story that would make for a great movie.

Marcelo Salazais really strong in this issue. He captures the mood and noir world of Hammer perfectly. There's a wonderful series of panels of Hammer and Helen naked on the bed with cigarettesmoke tastefullyprotecting Helen's modesty. There is also a wonderful fight sequence in which Mike dispatches Carman's main goons. I also liked the panels in the Zero Clue with the jazz band playing. The artwork captured the mood perfectly.

It's a fantastic read and I can't wait for the second issue. Hopefully, we'll get to issue 369.

Overall. A great second issue, which leaves things open with a fantastic cliffhanger, which makes me think that Minky has been set up to take a fall.

Overall. The writing team is doing a great job on this series and I can't wait for the next issue to drop.

This was a really strong third issue that upped the urgency and scale of the threat that Lady Li Mei represents to London. Further adding to the drama is that London has run out of Morphine, which could be a problem if Li Mei unleashes more of her monsters on the city.

Overall. This book has been a lot of fun and I hope that we get to see more of it. But maybe do some stuff more from Moriarty's viewpoint.

OverallA solid second issue in which we see the beginnings of Nemesis's return to his old ways. The addition of Pedro is very likely going to make for an interesting partnership as this story progresses. Also, loving the group of people that have come together to take Nemesis down, and look forward to seeing how that will play out.

The StoryHaving trained his sidekick up. Nemesis and Pedro set about hijacking a plane full of high-tech gadgetry, which they plan to use for another job. Having successfully pulled it off they receive an invitation to a Charity Auction full of the most wealthy. Knowing that the charity purpose would attract corporations and such. Nemesis accepts the invites and sets his sights on the auction's main attraction. However, it would seem that another person is just as interested in the prize, but adding to the pot is the fact that the four fathers looking to take Nemesis down are also in attendance.

The introduction of the Zapata Brothers is done brilliantly. I loved the giant monster truck that they arrived in as well as the subsequent banter that they share with Spider-Man while they are battling.

Overall. A fantastic story, which has a real sense of danger and urgency to it. And the way in which Zemo is introduced at the close of this issue is nicely timed. I can't wait to read the next issue.

A really good story, which has room in it for Miles Moralis to come in should Joe Kelly wish to do that. I mean sure. While it is great to see Spidery standing up against a racist white supremacist. It would be even better for the sake of representation to actually bring in Miles Moralis who actually has some skin in the game so to speak. Whatever happens next. I am pretty sure that Spidey is in for an epic fight.

Overall. I'm really liking where this is going and hoping to learn a little more about The Brotherhood of The Dragan in the next issue.

The best issue to date, which a cliffhanger that will leave readers aghast with shock.

There are some really fun character beats in this issue, but most enjoyable is the way Pandora is speaking like the classic Bond villain.

OverallAn absolutely fantastic penultimate issue, which pretty much sets things up for what will have to be one hell of a final issue that we'll get to read next month. I for one can't wait. I want it NOW!

OverallOverall. This is another fantastic issue that ends in such a way that you'll be stamping your feet in absolute frustration to find out what happens next.

OverallI love how writer Joe Henderson has taken something that we all take for granted. Like our own shadows and turned it into something scary. Granted it is a trope that is used a lot in horror. But whether it is good or not always depends on the execution. And it is executed brilliantly in this story. And we get a very clever twist at the end of the book too.

OverallJoe Henderson has come up with a neat story idea for this book, which I continue to enjoy. I love the idea of a person's shadow being able to separate from them when they are in a coma. And also love the mystery surrounding why it has happened and how that will most likely tie into the shadows that have been attacking Zadie.

OverallA fantastic penultimate issue, which raises the personal stakes for Zadie and her mum as they work together to get Ricky's Shadow back. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out in the final issue, which drops next month. I'll be particularly interested in finding out if Zadie and her mother are able to reunite Ricky's shadow with his comatose body. That is of course assuming that his body is in the same complex.

This book continues to entertain with his well-drawn characters and solid martial arts style story. I now wait with anticipation for issue 4, which will conclude this story.

Overall. A great start and a marvel of a story in which we get to see Spider-Man and Shang Chi work together on a job.

OverallA fantastic issue to close out the story arc on. The backstory is handled fantastically by Gene Luen Yang who has done a great job of building this world over the last seven issues. The next arc is already set up and ready to go. And I for one can't wait to read it. Hopefully, we get a little more Chinese mysticism thrown into the pot as that is an aspect of this comic that I have truly enjoyed.

Overall. A fabulous issue, which sets things up wonderfully for next months finale.

Overall. This issue builds at a rapid pace and is obviously drawing this chapter of the story to its natural end, which we'll likely see in the next issue. All that said. I somehow think Sheena will most likely have a few more encounters with Caldwell Industries in the months to come. They are proving to be a recurring threat.

This was a fantastic issue, which saw a few confrontations as well as a couple of reveals. Writers Marguerite Bennett and Christina Trujillo continue to feed us enough clues about the story and plot to keep us interested while providing some nice dialogue between the various characters.

David Pepose gives us a wonderful origin story that reveals how Space Ghost first meets Jace, Jan and Blip and winds up being a guardian figure for them. However, this version of events is somewhat more edgier and updated for today's audiences. The death of Jace and Jens father at the start of the book is particularly jarring. In short, this first issue is all out action from beginning to end and I look forward to seeing what Pepose does next with these characters.

Overall this story has been one of those stories that reminds you why you love Star Trek so much. The conflict between the Tzenkethi and Sisko's orders and the eventual resolution of conflict and how it is achieved is very Star Trek.

This final 400th issue packs in a fair bit of content and gives us some really cool new stories from the final frontier. It's also a wonderful celebration of Star Trek comics in general and well worth the money. I look forward to the new series of Star Trek comics from IDW, which will launch in October.

This is a really strong second issue in which we see the crew's relationships grow with Lattie, but also see some really good progress with the overall story. I'm looking forward to seeing where the third issue will go with all of this.

The description of this book being the Dirty Dozen meets Star Trek is pretty much bang on. And I can't wait to see how this ongoing story arc will further link up with that of the ongoing arc in the main Star Trek comic.

Christopher Cantwell brings us a fun story, which looks like it might be a worthy sequel to the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 'Conspiracy' in which we saw top-level Starfleet personnel taken over by a parasitical alien that was looking to take over The Federation.

OverallWriter Jim McCann does a nice job of drawing his story to a satisfying conclusion. But we are still left wondering what happened to Isis and what Gary 7's next move will be. Especially given that his orders are to take out Kirk and the Enterprise crew.

OverallKelly and Lanzing do a brilliant job on this issue. It felt very much like an episode of the TV show as the character interactions were so consistent with how they'd have been performed. Also, the return of Ambassador Renei of Andoria as well as Gary Seven and the Tholian attack add that extra element of tension to the proceedings. Which makes for a fantastic cliffhanger. Bring on issue 23.

This is well a look for Star Trek fans. Irrespective of whether you are a fan of Captain Kirk of not. Buy it now. Make it So. Engage.

Meanwhile, back at the rebel fleet. Lobot is still being used as a link up to the old droid in order to help C3PO record the ancient language needs for the new code. Unfortunately, the effort it is taking is hurting Lobot and his friend Lando isn't happy with the situation. Leia, who is thinking of the bigger picture orders C3PO to carry on working. But when Lando objects and tries to put a stop to things. She orders Kes Dameron to take him to the brig. Will it all be for nothing?

Charles Soule does a great job with this issue. I really enjoyed the use of Amilyn Holdo as the person that delivers the news about Han to Leia. Additionally, I especially liked the callbacks to 'Solo: A Star Wars Story' as Lando recalls the events that took place when he is talking with Chewie about going on the mission. Of course this being Lando, he does have another agenda. For my money. This is the best issue of the 'War of the Bounty Hunters' story to date.

This is a pretty solid story, which gives us a little more insight into who Poe Dameron's parents were.

A fantastic book. I can't wait for the final issue next month. Hopefully, it's a bumper one.

This is a fun issue that wraps up the story arc for Melton and his family rather nicely. Charles Soule makes clever use of these unknown characters to tell the story of how the Rebels found out about the second Deathstar.

I look forward to seeing how this will all tie into the build-up to Return of The Jedi.

OverallThis was a really good story in which we get to learn a little more about Kyber Crystals and a Jedi's relationship with their lightsaber. I really enjoyed the character of Dr. Cuata and the way in which it is established that he is able to communicate with Kyber Crystals and understand what they have to say. I also liked how he put Luke Skywalker to work by getting him to use the force to also link with Kyber Crystals.

Overall. A really fun issue that continues to fill in the gap between Empire Strikes back and Return of the Jedi. I only hope that we get a series of comics that follow these legacy characters through the events that took place after Jedi.

A fantastic issue in which we learn the reasons why Mon Mothma became a leader of the Rebellion when it would have been all to easy for someone as wealthy as her to just sit back and let the Empire get on with it. The conversation between Mothma and Hatchi is brilliantly executed with some sharp dialogue by Charles Soule and some excellent visuals from Musebekov. This is a great example of how art can marry up well with solid writing.

The Path of Light, which is the penultimate issue of this Star Wars series sets everything up nicely for the final issue, which we'll see next month. I liked some of the parallels between Zahra's journey and that of Anakin. And how her severe injuries just made her double down on her belief in the Empires and her determination to hurt Leia. Hopefully, we'll get a third run of Star Wars comics from Marvel that will fill in the 30 or so year gap of what happened to Luke, Han, and Leia between events seen in Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I believe issue 50 of this run is going to feature a young Ben Solo, so it will be interesting to see what that issue delivers in the way of backstory in regards to how he strayed from Luke's guidance.

This is a great second chapter for the Insurgency storyline in The Battle Of Jakku series. I look forward to seeing how the other series in this range of books will feed into all of this.

Overall. I'm loving this series and can't wait to learn more about Valance and his past. The addition of Boba Fett and Bossk is a fantastic bonus for this first story arc and does a great job of enhancing the story without undermining the lead character.

Overall Ethan Sacks continues to add more layers to Valance and has used these last two issues to fill in some of the blanks about this Bounty Hunter's past. In a way Star Wars: Bounty Hunters is taking on a similar narrative to The Mandalorian only minus the child, The Mandalorians and the Jedi. In fact, the world that Valance deals in will allow more exploration of the Underworld. It will not surprise me if we see a few Hutts in issues to come. The decision to leave Cadelia with Yura is a good one. Had she stayed in the care of Valance. It would have limited story options moving forward. Plus I suspect she and Yura will work better as recurring characters.

OverallThis is a fantastic issue. I love how Ethan Sacks captured the cold-blooded nature of Bossk. Having him use the other people who were being hunted as bait was fantastic. The dialogue between Bossk and those around him was awesome. I could actually hear Bossk's voice in my head when I was reading. I'm looking forward to seeing how this story progresses. Especially given that Valance and Dengar are probably going to cross paths with Bossk as they seek Boba Fett.

A fantastic issue that sets things up brilliantly for the crossover series.

This book along with the main Star Wars title continues to be a highlight of my month. Great work.

A fun story with some brilliant character moments and great action beats. This is Star Wars comics at their best.

Another fun issue. Which ends with T'onga having to show herself as the true leader that she is.

A brilliant issue with some fantastic character moments. I loved the part at the end where Zuckus boast about his race's expertise for finding things when T'onga and the crew are looking for Valance who has just fallen off a rock face. The art as mentioned above is truly epic in this issue and the battle between Vader and Valance has been well and truly earned. But there is still unfinished business, which means that the empire has not finished with Valance yet.

OverallThis was a fantastic issue that gives us some interesting insight into Zuckuss's people and their ways. I loved how the hallucinations that Zuckuss has mirror the life and death struggle that he is going through while 4-LOM is doing all he can to save his friend. Additionally, I also love that we have Valance back with the group as his ongoing conflict with Bossk is just so much fun to see.

This penultimate issue of this story arc delivers the goods as Commander Versio demonstrates how sneaky she can be. I loved the eventual meeting between Versio and T'onga and the brief fight that follows. I'm also enjoying the continued antagonistic relationship between Bossk and Valance, which is something that has been boiling over since the third issue, which is a long time given that this book started its run in early 2020.

OverallThis issue brings to an end the Crimson Reighn storyline, but it isn't the end of the story. That is yet to come in a new mini-series that will be called The Hidden Empire. And of course, we'll be subscribing to it. Or at least trying to cover every issue.

A really fun issue that leaves us with a cliffhanger that would make the old Flash Gordon movie serials from the 1930s and 40s blush.

Overall this has been loads of fun and I can't wait to see what happens next.

After having had several issues where Han and Chewie have been separated. It is somewhat of a relief to see the team back together again as the two characters really do compliment each other. The addition of Thaedra to the mix made for a little fun as well. Especially given that it means that Han is the one that is having to follow and not lead.

This was a solid issue, which sees the story building towards an exciting conclusion. The use of Ajax Sigma throws an interesting twist in the plot as it may well tie into the Hidden Empire series. I also love how Marshall Vancto and Han's father are working together as we all know that the arrangement they have isn't likely to end well.

Meanwhile, Chewbacca and Khel have been captured by Marshall Buck Vancto. But thanks to a deal that Chewie strikes with the Marshall. He and Solo are allowed to go free.

A really strong start, which ends on a great cliffhanger.

This second issue really develops the story and leaves us with a fantastic cliffhanger. We also see Lady Qi'ra's ruthless side come out again when Cadeliah questions her about the plan. Qi'ra pretty much says that she is prepared to let Crimson Dawn die if it sees her fulfill her mission.

Hopefully Marvel releases this trilogy in one big volume because I for one would leap at the chance of owning that.

This idea of Kenobi looking back to key moments from his younger life is a fun way of showing us what the younger and less experience Obi-Wan was like in a time before he became a full Jedi. I can't wait for the next issue.

The StoryWith the storm starting to hit his home on Tatooine. Obi-Wan thinks back to another mission in which he was ordered to hunt down and kill Commander Mekedrox who had gone rogue. The veteran Jedi recounts how the event affected both himself and Anakin. He reflects on how so much death and war can take their toll on a person and tells of how he and Anakin tried to talk Mekedrox back from the ragged edge.

Overall this issue picks up the story from the first issue brilliantly well and reminds me of what a great first season we had when it comes to the series.

Rodney Barnes remains faithful to the story from the show's first season and is producing a fairly entertaining comic book adaptation. Where this book really shines is the artwork. It is quite interesting and fun to see an artist's alternative take on many of the scenes that we all probably know by heart by now. At least I do. As have probably watched the first season a good three or four times by now. Overall this is another solid issue.

I really enjoyed this issue and look forward to seeing how well the team behind this book does with the next one.

Cavan Scott writes a solid second issue that builds nicely on the characters and situations that were set up in the opening issue. I really enjoyed seeing that not every member of the Scalvi was enamored with Yoda and his stories. In fact, the conflict between Bree and Trikk makes this a more interesting story. Especially given what we learn by the close of the issue, which we'll learn more about in next month's issue.

The StoryHaving looked back over his time with the Jedi Council in previous issues. Yoda comes crashing back to the present for a visit from the Force Ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Yoda is still having bad dreams about the consequences of both his actions and inactions. As he wakes from one of these dreams he finds that Obi-Wan is still sitting in his home waiting. Yoda goes outside to gather some herbs for some soup, but Obi-Wan follows and escorts the old Jedi to the entrance to the cave of evil. Yoda has one more lesson to learn before he is ready to teach a new apprentice.

The StoryEarth is losing the war against the Pykkts. But, no one understands why. Especially given that Adam Strange and his soldiers had defeated the Pykkts on Rann. When Allanna Strange receives a mysterious letter. We finally get to grips with the shocking truth of the matter. Adam Strange lied about his heroics. A deal was struck and Earth was the prize. But there was so much more to it than that. After all. War is hell.

Tom King concludes his story brilliantly by sort of bringing things full circle by ending the book with the same image that started it all 12 issues ago. A flashback of Adam Strange signing his book. It's a bittersweet ending to a book that has deconstructed a hero and shown that not everything is black and white.

Given how this issue ends. I'm really looking forward to the final issue, which will drop on December 29.

This is a great four-issue story arc to fill the gap that has been left by the delay to season 5 of the series, which I hope we get to see at some point later this year.

Rod Monteiro and Will Conrad continue to deliver an intriguing story. I quite enjoyed how James gets the virus out of his system and his fellow prisoner's reaction to it. Furthermore, the characterization of Dr. Shuzen makes for a really compelling villain, but I can't help but wonder if there is someone bigger behind these experiments in Unit 731.

This was a really fun read with some stunning artwork that gave it a cinematic quality that put me in mind of some of the old war movies that my late father would watch on the television.

I look forward to seeing where all of this will lead in the next issue. I have to wonder if Death-Defying Devil will wind up in a chariot race in a Hollywood epic similar to the classic Ben Hur next. Am really excited by some of the possibilities of this story.

Overall. A really strong beginning to what will hopefully be a story that improves with every issue. I really enjoyed how Lindy's meeting with Shakespeare was handled, but also enjoyed how Ruin was written. I can't wait for more of this.

G. Willow Wilson continues to enthrall with what is a great storyline, which is beginning to present us with some fun plot twists. I loved the nod to Youtubers and Law of Attraction videos that she makes with the character of Heather After. It was very true of the many magical gurus that are out there on the web. So to see it used in a comic that is about dreams and nightmares makes perfect sense.

Overall. This is a brilliant opening to a new story arc on The Dreaming, which picks up on a loose thread leftover from the last arc. I look forward to reading the next issue to see how all of this is going to pan out. Especially given the inclusion of a certain John Constantine in the final few pages. Will we see him fly to America to help save Heather After. Or will she have done enough on her own to allow her to fend off Puck?

Back with the Unseelie. Heather After and Ruin have finally come to their senses but now face certain doom.

The Dreaming continues to bring an animated cinematic feel to the stories of Ruin and his friends as they try to put the world to rights. This is a comic book series that is just waiting to be made into an animated series or an epic fantasy movie.

Waking Hours comes to a conclusion with a somewhat happy ending for Ruin, but I would not be surprised if the writer or another writer decides to pick at a few of the remaining threads. Especially given that Heather After has paid quite a high price for Ruins happiness. It's only a matter of time before that debt comes due.

Much like last month. Writer Pornsak Pichetshote writes a bit of a closing editorial in which he talks about the conditions that the Chinese lived in during the early part of the 20th century when this book is set. It's truly eye-opening to read about this and Pichetshote gives a brilliant commentary about it. Being that I was born and raised in the UK. I have very little knowledge of American History. So this is sort of a bit of education insofar as hearing a Chinese Perspective on this particular point in history. Whereas most hard-boiled Noir Detective stories are very much from a Western perspective.

Overall. Another great issue with some wonderful and insightful historical notes at the end. I'll definitely be buying myself a hard copy of the trade if this gets released as a collection.

The final shoot-out at the end of the comic is fantastic. It's almost as if the art team has pulled the pin on a grenade that has been simmering for ages.

Overall. A brilliant book, which is sure will give us plenty more twists and turns in next month's grand finale. Thank you Pornsak Pichetshote for writing this story.

A really strong issue with an ending that will keep you on the edge of your seat until you can get your mitts on the next issue.

The Lonesome Hunters is fast becoming one of my favorite comic book events of the year, which is quite funny because I'm not usually drawn to horror stories. However, the art style and this book's story is really something quite special.

Mark Millar gets this second volume of The Magic Order off to a rip-roaring start as we see Victor Korne and his clan introduced in style. If the final few panels of this book are anything to go by. Then I'd say we are in for quite the ride as we see two magical families go toe to toe. Be warned though. This book is strictly for the more mature readers. Not for the kiddies.

This second issue of The Magic Order 2 was a little more sedate than last issue, but don't let that fool you because there is definitely an underlined tension to it. And the final few pages show us that Victor Korne is not to be underestimated.

I loved the effort that when into revealing the backstory and I am really looking forward to seeing how these sequences turn out when this eventually gets made into a Netflix series or movie.

Mark Millar continues to spin a fun story in which Magic users become more like gunfighters from the wild west as they engage in a war to save all of humanity from the whims of Victor Korne. This is definitely a story that lends itself well to becoming a TV series or even a movie, and I can't wait to see that happen.

The artwork of the various monsters throughout the four issues has been fantastic fun and seeing a mash-up of so many monsters in one comic put me in mind of the old 1930s and 40s Universal Monster Movies. All that is missing from this story is a fictional comedy team based on Abbott and Costello.

To sum up this opening issue is very well presented and even includes an article by Hammer Films expert Marcus Hearn who talks about the 1959 Hammer film on which this particular comic book series is based on. Five variant covers are available. All of which are great!

Given that we have had such a wait for season three of the show. This book is a rare treat indeed. It only makes me more excited for what we may see on the television series when it eventually returns.

David A. Goodman finishes off his story in a satisfying, but sad way. While it is satisfying to see the planet liberated and freed from the Nazh. It was sad that one character had to lose so much including their innocence in order to take over the job of saving her planet from Talla.

Artist and writer Stephen Mooney does a brilliant job of capturing the visual vibe and spirit of the original Dave Stevens stories. The story is brilliantly pulpy as you'd expect and I'm looking forward to the next issue of this when it drops. As have gone to the trouble of pre-ordering all four. Still annoys the crap out of me that I cannot subscribe on Comixology anymore because of Amazon's massive screw-up when it comes to their UK customers.

Overall. A solid second issue that leaves us with an exciting cliffhanger to stew on until next month.

I really liked how Cliff's friendship with Debbie was written and the somewhat awkward moment when Cliff learns that she is gay was fun because of the Awkwardness of the moment, which felt very much in keeping with the 1940s.

Overall. These four issues make a great addition to my collection of books and comics about this particular character.

Pornsak Pichetshote's storytelling continues to be lots of fun. I loved the mythology he has added to this series about the difference between Western Ghosts and Thai Ghosts. Which proves to be somewhat of an important factor in this story.

Dark Horse have done an awesome job with this series and I hope that we'll get to see more like it in the new year. Perhaps a few adventures with Abraham Setrakian during the 60s when he was hunting the strigoi on his own.

If you haven't read this mini series. Then I recommend you get the trade when it is released. This is a true extension of 'The Strain' series that fans will love. It will be well worth the investment.

Wolfenstein issue 2 goes on sale on 11 October and is well worth a look irrespective of if you are a fan of the game or not.

The segment featuring Steve Trevor in Elysium was also a standout. His struggle to find happiness in the afterlife, despite the comforts around him, is deeply moving. You can't help but feel for him and the heartache he's clearly experiencing from being separated from his true love.

This issue ends in a great place with some interesting set up for things that may lay ahead for the God of Discord.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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. 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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Overall. This issue is full of brilliant foreshadowing for part two of Starlord and Nova's epic battle against Zeus. That said. This time the Gods will have to deal with a very pissed-off Gamora. Which is a fate that I'd not wish on my worst enemy.

I really enjoyed the interactions between Harley and Alfred at the very beginning of the issue. Also the gross-out humor and jokes provide a fair few laughs out loud moments.

I find myself looking forward to the next issue now. Given that I got through this one really, really quickly.

A fun issue, which sets things up well.

Overall. A great issue that concludes on a cliffhanger, which will no doubt play a huge part in setting up the finale next month.

A satisfying end to what has been a fun story, but I have to wonder if Hit-Girl is going to run out of Villains to fight given that she pretty much dispatches every single one. I'd love to see a rogues gallery for Hit-Girl, but have to wonder if that will ever happen given the death count in these comics.

Honor Vincent continues to spin a fun and interesting adventure. I loved the moment when Holmes first meets Houdini and how quickly they seem to recognize that they share a similar goal. I love all the secret society elements to this story and the fact that the late Harry Houdini left behind a Grimoire of his secrets that only those in the same bloodline as him can read.

Meanwhile, back in K'un-Lun Lin-Lie struggles to handle the demon sword shards in his hands from interfering with his ability to channel Shao Lou's, Dragon Chi. But he also has to deal with a few people who are not too happy with him being the new Iron Fist.

Agent of Spectre continues to be a highlight of my month and will hopefully continue in that vein.

I can't wait for the finale next month. Man if only I had a time machine.

James Bond: Himeros #4 will be on sale in all good comic book stores on Wednesday 19, January.

Despite this one criticism. I've really enjoyed the ride and would be interested in checking out further Bond stories from Barnes.

It's just sad that we'll have to wait a whole month to see what happens next.

Overall. A wonderful story arc, which I can see myself revisiting at some stage in the future.

Overall. A fairly strong opening story arc. I look forward to seeing what else Spurrier can come up with.

Aaron Campbell continues to provide some brilliant artwork for this series. I loved the atmosphere he manages to evoke with his rough penciled outlines for the winding stairs that lead to what is under Parliament. The drawing of Clem Thurso is also quite freaky. Especially in late pages when you see him with part of his face mask removed.

Overall. A fun issue with a brilliant cliffhanger ending that will keep everyone guessing until next month.

Overall. This is a strong first issue, which turns everything you think you know about Kick-Ass on its head and presents a less comedic version of the character who has real issues balancing life with the job of a vigilante. Bring on issue 2.

Kick-Ass #2 will hit comic book stores on Wednesday and it is well worth picking up.

We get left with a really big cliffhanger in this issue that will have readers pulling their hair out for an entire month while waiting to see what happens next. One thing's for sure. The shit is very much likely to hit the fan. It's going to get messy.

This was a fabulous issue, which went some way to not only escalating the story when it comes to the villains. But it also escalates things with regards to Patience's family life given that one of the gang members she takes on is related. The closing page of this issue pretty will pretty much keep fans guessing for the next month.

OverallThis is another solid issue, which has set things in motion that are going to make for some epic battles in the months to come. While the cliffhanger is not as exciting as last month, it does have you gasping and wondering if the game is up for Patience.

I very much look forwardto the next issue in January because judging by the final page of this issue things are really going to kick off.

Overall. A solid story, with a bit of an anticlimacticending.

Given the way this issue ends. I can't wait for the next one.

This opening issue sets things up brilliantly. But it also shows me just how much I have missed given that Maurice had only awoken from his coma and just begun his campaign of blackmail when I last read Kick-Ass. Nevertheless, I had little problem picking up the story and was caught up pretty quickly. Steve Niles writing is quick and fast and doesn't overly rely on exposition. Instead, he uses dialogue and action to move things along, which allows Marcelo Frusin lots of room to use his imagery to push the story forward. In short, this first issue hits really hard and pulls you in, and doesn't let go. It's a brilliant opener.

On the whole, this is a brilliant issue and a fantastic example of an artist and writer that are truly in sync with each other. I loved how the writer managed to give us Hit-Girl and Kick-Ass's parallel stories prior to the meeting on the final page. The build-up is brilliantly executed in my opinion. For instance, the way in which Kick-Ass is eavesdropping on Kick-Ass as she takes out the gang members. It's all brilliantly done. I can't wait for the next issue to come round.

Overall. A satisfying end to what has been a great 5 issue run.

Overall, with only the Captain and one other survivor left. I look forward to seeing what happens in issue six.

Lady Baltimore: The Witch Queens continues to be a monthly event for me. I love pulp storytelling and also enjoy anything to do with the occult within any given fictional narrative. The plot twist involving Rigo and his betrayal is brilliantly executed as was the backstory for Einer the Warlock. With the Hexencorps pretty much invading most of Europe. We get left with a brilliant cliffhanger for this penultimate issue of what has been one of the most fun comic books of this year.

I also loved the fact that the Golem is referred to by name and fast becomes a character in his own right. Indeed, it would have been oh so easy for the writers to just have him as a witch killing machine.

The situation of Tarzan being jumped sees Bouanga pick up his story from where he left off in the last chapter. Tarzan is looking to save his ape family from the crooked and evil Shaw, but Shaw gives Tarzan an ultimatum. He demands that Tarzan go to the Valley of Mist and get him some precious jewels. Initially, Tarzan says no. But when shaw changes threatens to kill Bouanga. Tarzan heads off into the Jungle in a race against time to steal Shaw's jewels from the people who live in the Valley.

This works pretty well as a penultimate chapter to this story arc.

Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer is out now in all good comics stores and is well worth a lookif your a fan of crime thrillers.

The ArtworkThe Artwork in Moriarty: The Clockwork Empire is fantastic. The opening few pages show us Mr. Hyde attacking London's China Town and the panels are all in shadow and have a wonderful murky quality to them which adds to the mayhem that is about to happen. By comparison, the panels set in the Diogenes Club are bright and colourful but with their own distinctive look and style as we see some nice period work that accurately depicts the fashions of London in 1899.

Overall. A really fun issue. I can't wait to see what happens next and maybe seeing a few more monsters.

A really funny issue with some truly sick humor. Moreover, the banter between Risa, Yamada, and Croak is quite funny. Especially when Yamada has the realization that Croak is more dangerous than the Mares. Overall. This was great fun.

Paul Tobin brings My Date With Monsters to a satisfying conclusion. The story comes to a close and the good guys or maybe bad guys depending on your point of view, win the day. However, the big revelation within the story does give Risa some food for thought and has her asking if she can ever be truly happy? Will she get together with Genka? That much is left open.

Again the action in Apocalypse handbook is brilliantly drawn and laid out and has a certain cinematic quality that makes you want to see this as a movie or even an animated film. Hopefully someone out there with the skills and the passion will one day make the film.

Titan Comics have really found a top class team here and I hope that they get to do a lot more work with Titan in the years to come.

Overall. A really solid issue, which puts things in place for next month's finale, which I'm sure will prove to be a very satisfying end to what has been a pretty cool mystery.

Nemesis remains one of Mark Millar's coolest creations and perhaps one of the most fun comic book villains since The Joker. I really enjoyed this opening issue of the sequel to Big Game and look forward to seeing how things unfold as our favorite villain finds and trains his sidekick, which is something we'll get to see in the next issue. Hopefully, we'll also see more of the people seeking revenge on Nemesis.

George Mann does a great job with the dialogue and the interpersonal exchanges between the various characters. I especially enjoyed the build-uphe created for the characters as they planed their daring jailbreak. And I also enjoyed the cliffhanger that this issue leaves off on and what it reveals to the heroic Newbury and Hobbes, but what will it mean as the story moves on in next months installment. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'm intrigued enough to follow this story arc through and see what happens. And it better continue to be Non-Stop.

OverallJoe Kelly produces a wonderful plot twist in this issue that will have fans talking for weeks. Overall. This is a really strong issue.

Overall. A great issue with a cliffhanger that will keep readers on the edge of their seats for an entire month.

I can't wait to see what happens once Oliver goes to London.

The ArtworkThe art team do a great job on this issue. I loved the character drawing of polychrome and the god-like shimmer that they enveloped her in. Also great was the attack of the undead wizards as well as Dorothy's journey through the rainbow towards the close of the issue.

Fall of the Emerald City was a really strong story with some great character moments. I've enjoyed Zenescope's take on these classic characters and love the fact that Toto is a much bigger dog than the Toto that many of us know from the 1939 movie adaptation of The Wizard Of Oz.

OverallAs a kid growing up. The Wizard of Oz was a favorite book and so were the films. This comic book series does a brilliant job of updating the worlds and characters that we meet in Oz. Dorothy is every bit the hero in these books, but equally so are Scarecrow, the Lion, and her other friends. Zenescope does a great job of continuing the journey of these characters. Added to all this are some brilliant new characters that Zenescope has created in order to expand the world of Oz.

Some stunning visuals from the artist and a lot of really witty dialogue from Mark Millar make this comic book series a must for fans everywhere. I'll definitely be treating myself to the trade paperback when it gets released. I love this kind of story.

Overall a really strong ending to a great prequel story for the Rebel Moon franchise as a whole.

I also loved the artwork in this issue and thought the final few pages were absolutely jaw-dropping. In fact, it is a shame that we'll only have the one issue left to explore these new vistas.

In conclusion. I've enjoyed this series so much that I think further adventures pairing Tarzan and Sonja would, for the most part, be welcomed.

Overall, this is a great jumping-on-point for Savage Avengers.

Overall. So far this book is delivering on its initial promise of an epic swashbuckling adventure. I can't wait for issue 3.

This for me is the best issue of the run thus far. I look forward to seeing how things play out in next month's chapter.

OverallA thrilling end to what has been a fantastic story. I'm actually really sad that it had to end because reading about these classic characters working together or at least trying to has been a thrill. I really hope that Evan Daugherty comes up with another adventure for this group of characters at some point in the future.

Overall. A really solid third issue, which really moves the story along and ends with somewhat of a cruel twist.

I have really enjoyed how writer Gene Luen Yang has mixed the martial arts action with mythology. And as someone that lives in the UK that is relatively uneducated about what the British did in regards to selling Opium to China as a means of trying to pacify and take control of the country. The way the writer ties all of that into the backstory for this book is brilliantly executed. It's a real high point for the book.

Hopefully, this mini-series, which is pretty much the new origin story for this character will lead to newer stories.

I can't wait to see where all this goes in the next issue. Which will see Shang-Chi go up against Thor.

Overall. A really cool issue, which introduces a few new threats to the series.

Overall. This fourth issue delivers more on plot than character beats. The writers used a lot of character beats in the earlier issues to get us to care. Now they are delivering some real danger and situations in order to make us get behind these characters and feel the shock and awe while whooping at their every victory.

Overall. This was a great issue, which wrapped up what has been a fantastically fun story, which gave us a supernatural tale in which Sheena is forced to battle monsters due to the interference of outsiders. Thankfully there will be a new story arc starting up next month, which promises to be just as fun and exciting as this one has been. Hopefully, it will be.

Sons of Star Trek continues to be a good read and fully commits to its purpose of highlighting the strengths and skills of Jake Sisko, Alexander, and Nog. I loved how this issue was told from Nog's point of view via his logs and also enjoyed how Nog's experience in this universe has helped inform him on what he needs to do once he returns to his universe.

I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold in the months to come.

OverallThis second issue continues the story that was so wonderfully set up in the first issue. Mark Millar provides a hatful of fun dialogue and some of the exchanges between the main two character are already sounding very much like banter. I loved how he has Cody take Thena through her plan and the various stages of it. It felt a little like Oceans 11 meets Prison Break and Star Wars.

David Pepose continues his Space Ghost story with some wonderful action beats and fun dialogue exchanges between Space Ghost and Zorak who is quite frankly a few cards short of a full deck.

The writers also managed to give us a brilliant cliffhanger ending that is going to keep us perched on the edge of our seats for the whole month.

Collin Kelly does a solid job of finishing this story but leaves a few plot threads hanging to get picked up in future issues. I loved how the issue ended with Lore looking to take advantage of the power vacuum that Kahless had left behind. But I also loved the clever way in which the writer uses Sela and makes her a relevant character again.

Another solid issue with a great cliffhanger ending that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the next book is released. Will Beverly find her son Wesley and what will become of the Sisko? I can't wait to find out.

Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing have written a stunning story here, but mixing science fiction with concepts such as gods and spirits is always going to be a wild and wacky ride. And given how much trouble that Sisko and the Theseus crew seem to be in. I look forward to seeing how they manage to get out of this one.

I have to admit. I was late to reading and reviewing this issue because of a lot of real life stuff getting in the way, but am glad I found the time because this issue deserves a look. Especially if you are fan that wants to learn some of Jaylah's backstory.

Mike Chen continues to spin us a fun Star Trek story, which combines the cuteness of Latty and his relationship with the crew with the Broker's plans to steal information from the station while using the dog as a diversion.

A fantastic issue in which we finally get to see a few action beats as the crew set about rescuing Latty and taking back the Borg technology. In terms of art, there is lots going on from the planning of the rescue through to its execution. I loved the sequence with Dax using gymnastics to recover the Borg thing. But also quite enjoyed the sequence where the crew were navigating through the ship's air vents in order to find their targets.
