Mysteries of Love in Space #1

Jan 31, 2019

"Mysteries of Love in Space" offers the best of both worlds. It focuses on superheroes while giving a little taste of romance comics's long gone heyday. It's nice that this giant chooses to laser in on the positive aspects of the DC Universe, like friendship and love. It might be a little corny, but it's always appreciated. It makes the heroes more relatable, fleshes out their character. Somewhere in the multiverse, there's a reality where romance comics still reign supreme. Since we can't visit for the foreseeable future, this issue is as close as we're going to get.

Jan 24, 2019

“Oliver” #1 seems to be one of those adaptations that is inspired by the original work while being its own distinct work. There may have been some references to Dickens that I missed but I was never lost or confused about anything. It does a great job of immersing readers in this dark, new world and leaves readers with burning questions. What is Prospero hiding from Oliver? What is the state of society outside of the clones? How will Oliver change the world? I need answers and can't wait to see what's next.

Their personalities comes through in the artwork as well. Ivan Reis does a great job throughout the entire comic but the highlight is certainly the pages featuring the Legion. You can tell from their cheering, smiling faces how excited the teenagers are to witness the very first Unity Day, how much it means to them. The costumes all look great too. Some of my personal favorites are the ones on Lightning Lad, Timber Wolf and Brainiac 5. Each costume is unique but are also cohesive at the same time. They are all vibrant, colorful designs that denote a bright, shining future. In "Superman" #15, the end of the 'Unity Saga' is really a new beginning.

Tony Stark: Iron Man #12

Jun 10, 2019

I will say that I didn't much care for Tony's inner turmoil throughout the issue. In the virtual world, Tony drank alcohol. It's certainly an interesting concept, whether that actually counts or not, but the execution hasn't gripped me so far. Neither has the idea of Tony being a copy or 'clone' of the original. I don't dislike the ideas but I am indifferent to how it's playing out so far, an issue since it's the focus of the book. Still, overall a pretty fun and enjoyable issue.

Uncanny X-Men (2018) #20

Jun 24, 2019

The plot itself doesn't feel terribly interesting. Characters act out of character to show that this is the 'darkest timeline' and the 'end of mutants' and all that.

Valkyrie: Jane Foster #6

Dec 13, 2019

As the first issue of this arc, it's mainly concerned with setting the stakes and putting the pieces into place. If this were a heist movie, we're in the part where they're assembling the crew.

War Of The Realms Strikeforce: The Dark Elf Realm #1

May 2, 2019

This issue still wraps up very nicely but it sort of feels like maybe a page or two is missing. Still, the creative team does a fantastic job. It's so good I'm actually kind of annoyed with Marvel editorial. This has no business being just a one-shot, one-issue team-up.

Yondu (2019) #1

Nov 8, 2019

With every #1, be it a mini-series or a regular ongoing, it's important to hook readers so that they will come back for more. On that front, I don't know if the comic is that successful. would I like to see more of the two Yondus bicker and fight? Sure. Do I care about what happens with the Herald's Urn? Not really. I'm not terribly interested in seeing why Yondu stealing it is so catastrophic to the time-stream either.
