Despite some issues with scale and science, I love almost everything about Powerpuff Girls #5. I have been a huge fan of this title since the beginning, but this has been the best issue yet. I wish we were getting this creative team for more than just one more issue!

I am looking forward to seeing where they take the Powerpuff Girls from here! As long as they don't stray too far from what works...

The art continues to rotate to different artists each issue, with this one going to Miriana Puglia, best known for her work for Dynamite Entertainment and the Gargoyles title. The work is good enough, but that still only puts her in third place already behind the exceptional work of Paulina Ganucheau on issue #1 and Karen Darboe on the first two pages of issue #2.

Four issues in, The Powerpuff Girls remains the most consistently enjoyable title I've reviewed so far. The Powerpuff Girls #4 is no difference.

You might have noticed by now that I found a lot of food for thought in this issue, which explains why my grade for it is pretty high. It could have been higher because, while the overarching story is very intriguing, the story that actually got resolved this issue is more good than great. But I am looking forward to more!

While not necessary reading, this is the most fun I've had reading Flash Gordon, ever. For anyone who loves all-ages science fiction, give this a try.

This issue certainly gave me plenty to think about, but left me unsatisfied in art and conclusion.

Despite my problems with Disney Hercules #5, the series remains fun, educational, and thought-provoking, all factors that make me want to keep reading.

It's a shakier start than many past returns of the Justice Society, but JSA #1 is promising enough that I'll stick around and see what happens next!

It is too soon to say how this series will measure up in time. So far, it's taken 19 pages for Flash Gordon to escape one room. I trust the pace is going to pick up soon and Flash won't be moving from room to room one per issue.

I am pleased that Ryan North is creating new villains instead of using the same classic villains for the zillionth time. I am pleased to see hard science fiction in a Fantastic Four story, where it would seem most appropriate.

I do like the focus on hard science in this version of the Fantastic Four. I even liked the twist, at first, that the FF had been on Earth the whole time. Also, Carlos draws a gorgeous Sue (I love how her hair swirls when they're in low gravity/high orbit). But there are not enough positives here to overcome all the negatives.
