The Terrifics #1

Feb 28, 2018

The Terrifics has a solid story, an entertaining cast, and a talented creative team, but is weighed down by continuity and didn't quite live up to its potential.

Shadowman (2018) #1

Mar 28, 2018

While visually interesting and action-packed, the first issue of Shadowman is held back by being too rooted in the character's continuity, making it a less effective jumping on point for new readers.

Super Sons (2017) #14

Mar 21, 2018

While still consistently entertaining and well-drawn, the latest issue of Super Sons is one of the weakest of the series thanks to a plot about the boys' mothers that doesn't live up to its potential.
