Bombshells: United #19

Jun 6, 2018

I loved seeing each character in their new lives after the war and there's also an epilogue involving Bruce Wayne set in 1960, twenty years after the war has ended. I'm not going to spoil this ending as it's quite interesting to add this in at the end. There's a reason I can see Marguerite Bennett added this and it follows the same message of empowerment the issue and series has. It's an unbelievably powerful and emotional final issue and it's been a joy to follow the Bombshells to a close.

DC Beach Blanket Bad Guys Summer Special #1

Jul 25, 2018

I enjoyed this summer special immensely. It made me both laugh and feel sad, I felt a fondness for Superman id personally not felt before and was great to see these villains outside of their usual settings. A must buy for any dc fan to own this summer.

Road of the Dead: Highway to Hell #1

Nov 7, 2018

The issue has a mad max style biker gang that can be seen chasing the survivors later on and a bloody battle is beautifully drawn in detail. It uses the old questions that most zombie stories do in that in a world where the dead walk the earth: who are they ever real threats? It's always the humans over the zombies and by the close of the issue it is here too. I thoroughly enjoyed this issue and was a highly anticipating its release. It never dipped in its writing or artwork and I'm already loving the band of survivors. With the walking dead recently losing its main attraction on television, this is the watch to cure the undead blues. I highly recommend you pick up issue #1 of Road of the Dead: Higheay to hell. It's wild, it's mature and it'll leave you wanting more.

Scarlet (2018) #2

Sep 25, 2018

This series is deep in its thoughts and in making the reader aware of the world we are in and those amongst us who stand for what's right. I was worried issue 2 wouldn't deliver the same brilliance as issue 1. I was wrong. Both its art and story and what it is highlighting has continued to impress. I eagerly await Scarlet and her revolutionaries in issue 3.

Scarlet (2018) #3

Oct 25, 2018

The issue is short in terms of its story by text but not in its direction and building up it's finale. The characters were properly explored in the first two issues allowing this issue to focus on the acts and consequences of their actions. It's brilliantly paced in that it flows in a somewhat cinematic way. It never feels rushed or that its dragging at any moment and it's something I could drift off reading if it was a much larger story. I wouldn't say any issues have been superior over any others it's just a magnificent series that challenges the times we face in society. I've loved this story of the rebellious redhead so far and eagerly advise you to pick up the series.

Batman: Prelude to the Wedding: Batgirl vs. The Riddler #1

Jun 14, 2018

I love the artwork by Minkyu Jung and the Riddlers design here is one of my favorites for him. He looks cool and hip but still the same narcissistic Riddler we all love to hate. It's a fast-paced issue, an incredibly fun read and a great addition to the preludes leading up to the wedding. The end panels also have a surprise waiting for you which I won't ruin. In keeping with the issue's theme " I'll leave it a Mystery.

Batman: Prelude to the Wedding: Harley Quinn vs. Joker #1

Jun 26, 2018

The outfits Harley wears in this issue are some of the coolest I've seen her in for a while. I'm a fan of the art by Sami Basri, the art feels alive and the design of both characters are superb. There's also a brilliant closing epilogue by Otto Smidt. Overall this is a fun ride of a prelude before the wedding we've all been waiting for.

Hex Wives #1

Oct 30, 2018

The issue later shows us the side of man and their plan to defeat the king running coven. This is where we then cut to modern day (2008) and things take a drastic turn in seeing the witches in a completely different light. A brilliantly timed cliffhanger left me eagerly awaiting issue 2. I'd highly reccomend you pick this up this week it's captured my attention like some kind of spell. A must read this Halloween.

High Level #1

Feb 19, 2019

The issue talks about high level being a place for salvation and to ascend. Witthe tones playing out already regarding gods and myths I feel this Is only the beginning of the runs undertone. It's well crafted first issue and although the last page is somewhat cliche, the character of thirteen has Hooked for issue two.

Life Is Strange #1

Nov 13, 2018

Overall this is a sequel series to the hit video game and a must read for any fan to uncover what happens next. The issue recaps prior events for new readers and is easy to follow. The artwork by Claudia Leonardi is bright and colorful in tone with its original look and its dialogue is well placed with pop culture and relatable moments. Head back to Arcadia Bay this week if you're a fan of the game or not for a heartwarming first issue. Life might be strange but this issue was hella cool.

Night Moves #1

Nov 21, 2018

Night Moves isn't pretty and it's not attempting to be. It's lead character has more in common with Constantine and Frank Castle than that of Clark Kent. If you're wanting a new dark and thoughtful dive into the occult I can't recommend this first issue more.
