Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story (2024) OGN

Apr 26, 2024

Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story is a beautiful book to read both in art and story. It makes me want to do a deep dive into this character of Dreamer who has a connection with the Legion of Superheroes. She has been called an ancestor to Dream Girl, a member of the Legion.

Birds of Prey (2023) #4

Dec 5, 2023

This story answers some questions but it appears that some important sequences were left on the cutting room floor. For this reason the story jumps around and it looks like whole scenes are missing almost like missing an episode of an episodic TV series.

Birds of Prey (2023) #5

Jan 4, 2024

The art is still a little different than I would expect but the colors are more dynamic and that makes this enjoyable form a visual perspective. Story wise this story gains dimension and a more solid emotional element.

Buffy: The Last Vampire Slayer (2023) #5

Dec 8, 2023

As an outsider reading this story it feels very meh to me. The fight was enjoyable to watch but it was very busy and fast at the same time. The ending feels rushed and more care is taken about Thessa introducing Cora to her stepdad, a vampire, than the fight itself.

Catwoman (2018) #60

Dec 22, 2023

This story is a confusing romp that has not decided if it is a personal revenge story or just an elaborate heist. If it is a heist, it failed, if it a revenge story, it may have failed again. The art was fantastic though.

Catwoman (2018) #61

Jan 18, 2024

Catwoman #61 just appears to be a chance for the artist to draw mutated characters, offering no real reason for Catwoman to steal the item she's after beyond it just being pretty. Catwoman is a better character than this.

Catwoman (2018) #62

Feb 23, 2024

This is an improvement from the last issue, which I think was just there to draw radiation poisoning. This issue advances the narrative a little, but it involves the Suicide Squad, leading to a fun, team-based adventure!

Catwoman (2018) #63

Mar 21, 2024

Beautiful issue with fantastic character designs but unfortunately a pointless story. I would like to see what this new villainous alliance will bring to the book though.

Catwoman (2018) #64

Apr 20, 2024

Catwoman #64 finds Selina in an out of this world adventure that again leads to her death. This is getting old fast, but again the art is fantastic.

Cobra Commander (2024) #1

Jan 18, 2024

An interesting story. Bringing the Transformers, machine life into a civilization that is afraid of machinery, a combination that can only lead to trouble. We now have Duke on the G.I. Joe side hunting down the Transformers, most notably Starscream, Cobra Commander who is fully aware of their existence and Optimus Prime using Megatron's arm.

Dark Ride (2022) #10

Feb 1, 2024

Dark Ride #10 continues to be creepy from a mysterious thrilling way to a visceral stomach churning way with its graphic deaths and dismemberment. All in the day for a horror themed thrill park.

Fire Power (2020) #29

Dec 6, 2023

This issue is not a disappointment. It continues the unique story telling of showing until it is necessary to use words. The family dynamic of the main characters continued to be explored pointedly as well as honesty. There is jealousy, passion, and understanding throughout this story. The issue ends as the others do with a great tag to demand the reader to continue this story. Sometimes it is a cliffhanger and sometimes it is a reveal. This issue is the reveal of Ma's power.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (2023) #301

Nov 30, 2023

An action packed entrance of the G.I. Joe story into Skybound comics. I was able to follow the action without having to read the IDW run. However, I did grow up with the original Marvel Comics run of G.I. Joe.

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (2023) #303

Jan 24, 2024

G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #303 is a marked improvement to the last issue. It has action, beautiful art and a massive cliff hanger to lead into next month's issue. Serpentor appears to be a worthy adversary for the G.I. Joe team.

Harley Quinn (2021) #39

Apr 27, 2024

The art and colors are fantastic and fits in with the story. Trini Howard is becoming one of my more favorite contemporary writers. Her range is notable when comparing her work on Catwoman and Harley Quinn. Two very distinctive types of stories with two very distinct artists.

Despite the art choices being a little off putting in character design, I still appreciated it along with this fun and wacky story.

Hawkgirl (2023) #5

Nov 28, 2023

This issue sets up the final battle to be seen in the last issue very well. This issue did not feel overly rushed or packed for the second to last issue. Instead it gives a good synopsis of the life of Kendra Saunders and her steps in becoming Hawkgirl even including a nod to her death in Blackest Night.

Hawkgirl (2023) #6

This is a fitting closing to both the story and the tortured existence of Kendra Saunders, a character I hope to see more of in the future.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (2022) #116

Jan 28, 2024

For anyone just picking up Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #116, I recommend at least reading the preceding issues of this arc, issues 112 through 115. This is a dynamic story along the same lines of Shattered Grid.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (2022) #117

Feb 28, 2024

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #117 is wrapping up the overall story arc, but it is becoming to look like a parallel version of Shattered Grid, just with a different villain and a different set of saviors. I am getting tired of this story and I look forward to it wrapping up. It is good in execution but it is not original over all.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (2022) #118

Apr 1, 2024

This issue appears to be a turning point in this story. The Rangers are getting their footing and allies are gradually appearing. This is a good story and definitely is more grown up with the casualties that are mounting but alliances are being formed and possibly this arc is finally winding down. It is getting a little old at this point.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers (2022) #119

Apr 29, 2024

Finally there is a movement in the action. The art is also effective in showing the different multiversal versions of the characters as well. Now the battle will move to the Void for a showdown for the Zeo Crystals.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Return (2024) #1

Feb 12, 2024

A story that has a lot of questions: Where is Jason? Who is the fourth person accessing the Grid? Who is the villain of this story? Will Kimberly come to terms with her past as a Ranger? I am looking forward to the answers.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Return (2024) #2

Mar 19, 2024

This may be considered one of my favorite Power Ranger comic stories I have read to date and I look forward to the continuation of this story. The story is mature and is not afraid of showing the consequences of this type of battle. The art is absolutely gorgeous and the colors are terrific.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Return (2024) #3

Apr 15, 2024

I like the concept and idea of this story. I just do not feel like the writing is doing this story justice. The art can only do so much but there are definitely holes in the script that should be filled up and maybe if this story was longer it could have been.

Outsiders (2023) #2

Dec 15, 2023

This issue is not as attention-grabbing as the last issue. At the same time, it still tries to tell a different type of story in the DC Universe, and for that reason alone, I think this issue and series should be given a chance. I would prefer that the writers not try to make this series a cameo series where we see forgotten and underutilized characters, that is a disservice to the characters of Batwoman and Batwing, two decidedly outsider members of the Bat-family.

Outsiders (2023) #3

Jan 11, 2024

Outsiders #3 is an interesting excursion into the multiverse and possibly a foreshadow of a possible threat to the multiverse is coming. Drummer appears to be the one gathering allies, but is her motive helpful or harmful?

Ranger Academy (2023) #3

Dec 11, 2023

A different type of story than usual Power Ranger stories. There are nods to past teams but a lot of mystery and secrecy and it appears that Tula could be revealed to be a villain in a future issue. Time will tell.

Ranger Academy (2023) #4

Jan 17, 2024

This story even though it has elements of the Power Rangers does not really feel like a Power Ranger story. That may not be a bad thing, It may be good that this franchise can expand on itself and tell different types of stories.

Red Hood: The Hill (2024) #0

Feb 7, 2024

Jason gets his own book. I just do not like the new villain created for it. Hopefully this character will be a one-and-done and better villains will be developed in future issues. Hopefully Red Hood may reveal his identity to Dana as well.

Red Hood: The Hill (2024) #1

Red Hood: The Hill (2024) #2

Mar 15, 2024

This story is hard to follow, and the ultimate point or plot is really hard to pin down. My best guess is that Dana is a character that Jason can see himself as, and as a result, he wants to save her from becoming just like him. Interesting thought as Jason has fought to not become Batman.

Star Trek: Picard's Academy (2023) #3

Dec 13, 2023

Not a lot of real action in Star Trek: Picard's Academy #3. However, it is very thought-provoking. The art is definitely interesting to look at and I enjoy the differences in the character despite that they are all wearing the same uniform. I like the detail of the art in this issue. Picard is shown wearing a bandaid on his face after his fight with Resh. A condition that one of the professors notices in the end, a good detail giving this story a distinctive realism.

Star Trek: Picard's Academy (2023) #6

Mar 1, 2024

Star Trek: Picard's Academy #6 is an okay issue with a disappointing ending. The art maintained its level with the addition of different characters, mainly K and Nir. Just another story that could have been told better and maybe could have had deeper ramifications to the Star Trek universe but instead is a lackluster prequel story.

The Madness (2023) #6

Jan 10, 2024

The art and the story makes The Madness #6, as well as the entire series, a very important read. It may not be a feel good story and it does have a high body count but overall I did not find the art that graphic but it does shine the spotlight directly on the effects of this type of attack and maybe can be relevant in superhero stories in general.
