Gun Honey #4 |
Dec 20, 2021 |
As Gun Honey ended with the latest issue, I feel that they could have pushed a 6 issue run. At least for the first series as it served as the introduction to the captivating world of Gun Honey and the lovely Miss Tan. Maybe showed off her skills in one or two more missions before closing shop. Gun Honey was a good read, no make that a tremendous read. For all fans of hard-hitting action and strong female leads Gun Honey is a standout and a superb series. Gun Honey was a High Octane thrill ride from start to finish |

As we continue the journey through the ever-interesting world of Crossover, and after the latest reveal. I can't help to wonder what is next, will it change direction again? From murder mystery to some psychological trippy experience, that ends up in a horror showdown? This might sound a bit out of the left-field, but the possibilities with Crossover are endless. |

The Death of Doctor Strange: Spider-Man #1 |
Nov 29, 2021 |
Death of Doctor Strange: Spider-Man is an enjoyable read, not difficult to follow, and should not be missed. If rumors are true that a new sorcerer supreme is going to be unveiled in 2022 and our beloved Doctor is going on ice. This is a good send-off, a proper goodbye for the time to come. I for one will be counting down the months or years till the good Doctor retakes his mantel as the SORCERER SUPREME |

Gun Honey #3 |
Nov 18, 2021 |
As the series is drawing to a conclusion, I can't help but feel I need more. With only a four-issue run, is this enough to explore the absolutely fascinating world of Gun Honey? I get it always leave them wanting more, but with one issue remaining is it going to feel rushed in the end? Joanna Tan is a brilliant complex original character and that is something few and far between. The pacing of the series so far is brilliant and it keeps giving enough so that you still end up coming back, contemplating the events that might unfold in the next issue. I believe we can all do with more original characters like Miss Tan. |

I continue to find this an amazing book, and would still recommend this 10 out of 10 times. If you find yourself lost in dreams and imagination like me for 95% of the day. Then this is an absolute must. Who does not want to live in a world full of the impossible? This to me is a fantasy coming to life through each panel, each issue. It brings a certain reality to the question of what if? |

The way that Blade Runner Origins handle difficult topics and actual struggles that we see around us every day is truly the star of this epic series. Yes, this is written to play off in 2009. However, it tackles real-world issues in a way that perfectly compliments the plot. And this makes it relatable. This is not just another generic story. It is fresh and intriguing and perfectly fits into the cyberpunk noir world of Blade Runner. |

Not bad. I still am not a big fan of the Avengers as written by Bendis. He does a decent job on the small individual stories but I have not been impressed with his epics. To me a big part of the Avengers is the epic stories. Roy Thomas had his Kree-Skrull War, Steve Englehart his Celestial Madonna series, and Jim Shooter the Korvac Saga. In my opinion, Bendis is better on Spider-Man and other series featuring an individual hero. He seems to be trying for epic with this storyline. The ending of Secret Invasion will tell if it is fondly remembered years from now. |
