The art is my favorite part of this book; just like with the story telling, everything about this feels like Saga-lite. A dystopian universe with strange characters, but at least the art is large in scale, while still feeling like this is a place that exists somewhere. I couldn't relate to anyone in this issue and didn't feel drawn into why I should care that there's a giant squid ready to eat every meaty gymrat filling up these pages. I love the over-arching idea of the story but the first issue doesn't draw you in on words alone; if you like the art, as I did, this isn't a bad pickup but it would have to be a slow week at the comic store for me to throw this in my want pile.

The jokes are back, the background signs are all here (and un-cross your fingers, the park is NEVER safe!), and there's a full-blown ad for a new stuffed doll from the Chew line. It's comical, it's innovative, it's a bit trolling and it's Chew. Welcome back; and remember, no chicken.

My favorite background joke – a sign on the airplane Chu and Colby are jumping out of – “Seatbelts save Lives – Unless the Plane crashes”

Donald and the boys find out the manager of the hotel is swindling money from the hotel and they chase him into of all places, Disneyland. There's a myriad of cameos and locales shown from the classic amusement park that most Disney-philes will enjoy. There's also 2 backup stories in a thick package of a book sure to please most any fans of this material. For new readers, it's an acquired taste but I'm thinking the vintage look and appeal of the book is a big bonus.

So, where does Dark Corridor fall in the First Issue category? Well, I think; its got its own unique hook and way of telling it's story that grips you just enough to come back for another helping next month.

There's actually not much to say here; even in its simplicity, Chew manages to find a very cool balance between fan service, happy conclusion to a major plotline, with bittersweet ending and a humourous (although completely un-true) epilogue. Being there are ten issues left, we're a bit in the dark about where the story goes from here, as this feels as much a finale without all the extra's that will be inevitably added to the final issue, as any right here.

Johns builds brilliantly on his Justice League run up till now, bringing back Darkseid for this epic tale where so many amazing, powerful and interesting characters from the old DC universe make their New 52 debuts.

Tremendous, tremendous artwork and Chip's self-portrayal is dangerously genius.

This story by Simon Spurrier feels like Saga mixed with Watership Down and a bit of We3 mixed in with its abundant host of animal-like creatures, and it's more than enough to pull someone back in for a second issue, and more than likely a third. What is this world and how did it come to be? These are the questions (as well as dynamic characters) that drew people into Saga in the first place. The art by Caspar Wijngaard feels cartoonish yet very much Image in the best way possible. I think the best thing going for this book is it opens readers to a different world " it's the best example of a comic book that equates to art within its medium. There is still action, and conflict, and beautiful panels, but it does it in its own way. What will female readers find when they read this book? Something relatable I think, and in this year of the woman, bring it on and give me two helpings.

Rating: 8.5/10 – It's a simple book, with not a lot of Chew humor, or time for it, but it does pose some big questions and leave some things hanging in the air with major ramifications.

This is definitely a book I recommend to Star Wars fans, and most defintely to fans of Threepio, like myself. Well-written, clever and really spot-on artwork.

This isn't a reboot, but it sort of is. I like issues like this; it's a setting of a table for a brand new start (or return, however you view it) to the DC universe as it will become.

It looks like a different creator is tackling each individual issue of this series and after looking through issue #2, it's a steeper mountain to climb to top this book than Godzilla has ahead of him taking down King Ghidorah. The painting done on these pages is unparalleled; it depicts Godzilla as a god-like figure, embarking on a lone gunman's journey to right the wrongs of this world; the epic quest you learned about in school, in its fullest and richest form. I could stare at this artwork all day. Absolutely brilliant work here.

Millar has created a brand new tale of heroicism for a new generation and it's bloody brilliant.
