Jeremy Bonnette Comic Reviews

Absolute Superman #15 starts a new story arc, introducing Hawkman and a new Superman suit, heralding a new challenge and new hope for the Man of Steel. Have fun, comic lovers!

Absolute Superman #16 gives the reader plenty to chew on. The introduction of Absolute Hawkman gives Superman a means to learn and grow as a superhero. It looks like he'll have to learn quickly, thanks to the arrival of Parasite and the ongoing threat of Brainiac. Have fun, comic lovers!

Absolute Superman #17 brings the full horror of Parasite and Brainiac, but gives us a good Superman message of standing together in the face of fear. Fans of beautifully horrifying artwork will want to check this one out.

Absolute Superman #18 introduces not one, but two, new Absolute universe characters who both have many details yet to be revealed. This exciting start to a new story arc is a good jumping on point for fans who have somehow been skipping on this title.

Adventures of Superman: The Book of El #4 takes a lot of the focus off of Superman (don't worry, there's still plenty of him here) and gives us further insight into Kryl-Ux and Lanternholm. It's a solid entry, bringing us a third of the way through this 12-issue run. Have fun, comic lovers!

Adventures of Superman: The Book of El #5 has some very cool action moments, but its strength is in the writing about the love of family. If you're a fan of a good story, grab this title. Have fun, comic lovers!

Adventures of Superman: The Book of El #7 is a fun, fast-paced entry that highlights Otho’s love for her adoptive father. She faces death to save Superman and succeeds. I’m looking forward to Osul’s part in this story, coming up next.

Aquaman #12 pits two heroes with godlike powers against one another, but the battle is more one-sided than would be expected. This one is darker than the first round, but quite enjoyable. Have fun, comic lovers!

Daredevil #1 is a good opener to this new chapter of Matt Murdock’s life in Hell’s Kitchen. It ultimately leaves way more questions than answers, but this will work for both new and old readers of this character.

I'm coming right out the gate with a high rating. DC K.O. #1 is an event book that should get any DC fan absolutely excited for what's coming next. The buildup to this promises to pay off in a fun and, almost certainly, unexpected way. I highly recommend checking this one out if it has somehow escaped your reading list. Have fun, comic lovers!

DC K.O. #2 is a no holds barred trip into a tournament of DC heroes and villains fighting for survival. It's a blast to read because anything can happen. Have fun, comic lovers!

It looks like we'll find out next issue. Have fun, comic lovers!

Fireborn #1 is an excellent blend of superpowered characters and fantasy elements. It’s full of energy, mystery, and action. It’s been on my pre-order and it probably should be on your list, as well.

Flash Gordon #0 is a basic science fiction tale that is easily accessible to new readers. While the overall story and art are nothing revolutionary, they give readers an entertaining tale.

Kill All Immortals II #4 is filled with vicious fights and gory deaths, but the highlight is Frey’s struggles with her own life choices. She’s tough as nails and fun to read for some savage entertainment.

Skinbreaker #2 is an overall beautiful book, both in the storytelling and the artwork. If you are a fan of a good story and gorgeous art, but are questioning whether this fits into your usual type of comic, give it a try. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Have fun, comic lovers!

Skinbreaker #7 brings us to the doorstep of the finale of this excellent series. The action and artwork continue to be top notch, but the story is just as good.

Star Trek Deviations: Threads of Destiny #1 is a one-shot that highlights the importance of racial equality, but could stand to be a longer book. Despite its length, it’s well worth a read.

Most of IDW's recent Trek offerings have included characters and settings we've been exposed to before. While Star Trek: The Last Starship #1 has its share of familiarity, we're given a fresh environment and character set to allow for an overall new and exciting experience.

Star Trek: The Last Starship #2 doesn't disappoint. While it doesn't quite reach the levels of the first issue in terms of "wow factor, there's plenty to love. Good action and character development, along with solid artwork, make this one to add to your pull list.

Star Trek: The Last Starship #3 ramps up the excitement in a big way. While it closes out the first chapter of the overall story in a strong manner, it sets the table for what's to come.

Star Trek: The Last Starship #6 brings us to a point where the story can go down many different paths, so get settled in for an exciting ride onboard the Omega, if you haven’t joined up already. The Federation is down, but as long as Kirk exists, it’s not completely out.

Superman #30 is an all-around good conclusion to the three-part Legion of Darkseid story leading up to the events of DC K.O. The action is nonstop from beginning to end, the art is top notch, and there's plenty of excitement leading into the next issue. If you're behind on this title, issues 28, 29, and 30 are a good chance to catch up and have fun for the next major event.

Superman #31 keeps the pedal down on the DC K.O. story. It has a blend of action and emotion while progressing the events on our journey to the Heart of Apokolips. Have fun, comic lovers!

Superman #32 is a perfect tie-in issue for this DC KO event. It functions well as a standalone issue, but works best if you're reading the core book. Have fun, comic lovers!

Superman #36 gives us some character development for Superboy Prime as he takes on the mantle of Superman. If you like fun comic references and Dan Mora art, this one is for you.

Superman #37 is an entertaining mix of superhero struggle, comedy, and mystery. Superboy Prime’s story as a Superman replacement is worth checking out.

While Superman: Unlimited #5 is not the best issue of the five so far, it helps to progress the story of Superman's new power and the impact that kryptonite is having on the world. It's a solid entry into what is shaping up to be a terrific ongoing Superman book. Dan Slott's writing on this book continues to be top notch. The art by Rafael Albuquerque and coloring by Marcelo Maiolo is vibrant and full of action. If you haven't been reading this title, it's not so far along that you can't jump in. Any fan of the Man of Steel should have this on their reading list.

I'll put this one on par with the previous issue. It does well with continuing the story and has plenty of action throughout. Through six issues, Superman Unlimited has been a fun read, making the Man of Steel vulnerable, but still super, thanks to his strong character. Have fun, comic lovers!

Superman Unlimited #8 is on par with the previous issue in terms of rating. It's more of a standalone story that doesn't focus heavily on Superman. Fans of Guy Gardner will want to check this one out, as he's his usual crabby self. Have fun, comic lovers!

Superman Unlimited #9 kicks off a new storyline that has a mix of mischievous characters, wacky kills and attempted murders, plus the return of golden Superman. Have fun, comic lovers!

Superman Unlimited #10 wraps up a short arc that is ultimately a filler story. Fans of the Prankster should love this one, but details on the new character “Txyz” are limited.

Superman Unlimited #11 is a step up from the previous two entries. It moves the story forward in a couple of major ways, setting up multiple potential storylines in the future. Fans of both younger and older Jon Kents will be excited for this one.

Superman Unlimited #12 is filled to the brim with characters and storyline set ups. It’s a good entry in the “Reign of the Superboys” arc with plenty of foreshadowing for upcoming issues.

Superman Red and Blue 2025 Special #1 is an excellent collection of tales that show the true character of Superman. This one will naturally appeal to fans of Superman, but if you've ever thought that Superman is boring because he's too powerful, give this one a try. There's way more to the character than just flying and x-ray vision. Have fun, comic lovers!

Overall, Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #2 is a fun Superman book that a new reader can pick up without having to know a lot about the character. Old fans of the character should find plenty to enjoy, as well. New kryptonite opens up new story potential and I'm excited to see what happens next!

Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #3 brings us past the halfway point in the series. The next issue will have us looking at whether Mxy is actually in need of help or if it's just another game to play. My bet is on the latter. If you haven't picked up this series, you're missing out on an upbeat Superman tale full of action and excitement. Have fun, comic lovers!

Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum #5 wraps up a decidedly different, but entertaining, entry into the Superman titles. If you're looking for a Superman book that's a bit more atypical than usual, grab this one. Have fun, comic lovers!

Synthetics Volume One #3 delivers a mix of action and drama in a nice little sci-fi package. I'm looking forward to seeing if the synthetics can provide hope to a hopeless world. If you've missed this title so far, it's a short one to collect and worth the read. Have fun, comic lovers!

Terrorbytes #2 delivers a story that's even more relevant to our everyday lives than the first issue did. It's dark and will stick with you well after you put the comic down. Grab this title for a good, thought-provoking read. Have fun, comic lovers!

Terrorbytes #4 gives us a terrifying look into the twisted possibilities of a power-hungry AI and the desperation of a man clinging to success. Fans of speculative fiction should pick up this thought-provoking title. Have fun, comic lovers!

Terrorbytes #5 continues to slowly fill in the blanks about the catastrophe that readers have been learning about since the first issue. Each embedded story raises questions as to our future with technology and this issue’s tale was no exception.

The Fury of Firestorm #1 kicks off an exciting six-issue series with plenty of element-transforming goodness. This version of Firestorm is wild and deadly, but excessively intriguing. This DC Next Level title is not one to miss!
