The Harcourt Legacy #1 |
Nov 7, 2017 |
I didn't have really any expectations while reading this so I didn't know if this would be good or bad. But this was a pleasant surprise. The character's are pretty enjoyable though Violet seems like a lot of other teenage girls but she does have a quirk or two that makes her stand out a bit. Hopefully she'll stand out more as the series goes on. Also uncle Edward is a pretty cool dude. The Harcourt Legacy # 1 gets an 8.5 out of 10. |

The ending once again blew my expectations out of the water and the awesome action from cover to cover made sure I wasn't looking away anytime soon. |

The 2017 X-O Manowar has been amazing so far but this issue is truly captivating. Matt Kindt, thinks of new and unique and engaging ways to tell a story and showcase the core themes of his run on this series. Add to that beautiful detailed artwork with great colors and you have a book that is a great example of why we read comic books and why it's a medium that still is important and is as valid a medium for story telling as books, movies and tv. X-O Manowar # 7 (2017) gets a 10 out of 10. |

The creative team behind Amerikarate seemed to have been training as hard as Sam does during the making of this issue. It's zany, over the top, and it still has a plot that it doesn't lose sight of. The jokes hit as hard as Sam's fists, which is pretty dang hard if you've seen how normal bodies react to it. Readers of Amerikarate since issue 1 especially should love this issue and it's ending.

If you have never read any of the three titles that are Zombie Tramp, Vampblade, or Dollface you'd do well to start with this. It covers their origins and past meetings though in a quick way. If you have read them before, well, you'll probably pick this up anyway. But, just take notice most of this you'll already know except for the last part and it ends so abruptly. Cliffhangers are good but it seems odd. But the art is fantastic and makes this comic worth reading once at least. Danger Doll Squad an 8 out of 10 |

The book is a lot of fun to read, the plot flows well enough and is nothing short of beautiful to look at. The only complaint that can be thought of at the moment would be that it may not be as friendly to new readers who aren't familiar with Bubble Gun's first run. But it isn't completely out of reach to new readers. The main plot isn't so dense, the how's and why's of what's going is spelled out. But character backstory and growth won't be as appreciated by new readers if they just jump into this blind. |

Starstruck is a true unique piece of art. It's set in a universe with a lot of depth and that truly feels like it's definitely been lived in. The story got a little hard to follow at times as there were no transitions, from one segment to another sometimes. Meaning the reader should be paying attention. The last third of the book also seems to be a different story if you're not paying attention. All in all this is a pretty good first issue.

There's a reason I chose to review this book. It's because I took to the fact it was set in 1998. There was something I got into '98 even though it all began in '94 kept on rolling in 95" Although this has nothing to do with that. It just made me nostalgic for it. OK! On to the book itself, this story is a lot of fun. It's like a tense thriller, with high octane action and a dose of sexiness all come together.
