20XX: Transport #1

Aug 3, 2022

Jonathan Luna hit it out of the park with #1 of 20XX:Transport. The story and artwork, he did the entire comic himself and he should be proud. What an accomplishment for an RPG comic. Readers prepare to lead the story into new heights and adventure leading 20XX:Transport with unlimited possibilities.

Angel (2022) #8

Aug 18, 2022

Overall this was not the all-out battle experience readers wanted from Angel. We want more authentic characters and an expansion on the original stories we know. The artwork was lacking the realism. Especially the depth it takes to portray these specific vampires in artwork and still keep them terrifying. Angel #8 was a progression book, hopefully #9 moves in a direction that will satisfy readers.

Basilisk #10

Aug 4, 2022

Basilisk #10 is a continuation of a fantastic horror story with potential, but there may not be enough to maintain its longevity. I picked it up because of the Title. And the story and artwork intrigued me to keep going. But at a certain point readers may no longer be interested.

Basilisk #11

Sep 10, 2022

I am looking forward to the following issue. The result of this book is fascinating. I am not one who particularly enjoys horror. But i am enjoying reading Cullen Bunn's work. The storyline, though grotesque, is captivating. So who will be The Chimera, and who won't live to see it?

Black Panther (2021): Unconquered #1

Nov 11, 2022

A light read that made me think for a bit. Gods, beliefs, and cult battles are all super fun. This could be a captivating story if it continued. Bryan Edward Hill and Alberto Foche Duarte did an excellent job with this one-shot book.

Catwoman (2018) #52

Feb 27, 2023

I am hoping Catwoman gets out of prison sooner rather than later. However, for her time in prison, this is as good a rendition as you could get for her in jail. I am looking forward to the next issue, and maybe someday, as I hope for every new Catwoman issue, The Cat and The Bat will tie the knot as close as they were at the start of this series.

Dark Ride (2022) #2

Nov 9, 2022

Overall this series has solid promise for the future. Dark Ride #2 took me into a new world of fear, thrill, and doubt that I wasn't expecting. I will be following each creator for more of their work. I am in for a good time if it's anything like this.

DC Horror Presents: Sgt. Rock vs. The Army of the Dead #2

Oct 26, 2022

Anyone who follows me as a reviewer knows I rarely enjoy horror comics. Which surprisingly is what I have been reading mostly these past few months. But I can tell you I have my calendar marked for Sgt. Rock vs. The Army of the Dead #3. This series is well-written, and it reminds me of why I love comic books. Bruce Campbell has my attention, and I await to see what's yet to come.

DC Horror Presents: Sgt. Rock vs. The Army of the Dead #3

Nov 25, 2022

Job well done for the Sgt. Rock vs. the Undead team. Another great book and I am looking forward to #4. Hopefully, Morell will be caught by then. And maybe Sgt. Rock will have a plan to stop the serum from spreading.

Deadpool: Bad Blood (2022) #4

Sep 1, 2022

I enjoyed every page of Deadpool Bad Blood #4. From the artwork to the storyline, it was all very well done. Chefs kiss the book and Deadpool, of course. This adventure is worth the read

Demon Wars (2022): Shield of Justice #1

Nov 16, 2022

I look forward to February's next book of the Demon Wars saga. Peach Momoko is making her way into the comic book world, and I support it 100%. So check this book out, pre-order the next one, and see if the Yokai go to War!

Do A Powerbomb #6

Nov 10, 2022

Overall I can't complain about this series. I loved this book. It's the best book yet, hands down. The finale is going to be dynamite. I know it. Thank you to the team for such a "powerbomb" of a series! Daniel Warren Johnson, I look forward to reading what else you have in the works. Fans! Pre-order your books now! Do a Powerbomb! #7, coming out December 7th!

Edge of Spider-Verse (2022) #1

Aug 3, 2022

Looking forward to the Scotsman Spider aka Spider-Laird and Spider-Rex and seeing what new characters Slott has to introduce to the Spider Verse. Issue #2 is either going to be a bold and brazen book or a let down. Either way I will be waiting with bated breath to see how to battle goes, does Madame web keep finding more spiders and will they be worth the trouble for the fight ahead.

Edge of Spider-Verse (2022) #2

Aug 18, 2022

Building towards climax can be difficult especially if you have a lot of characters to introduce along the journey. Edge of Spider-Verse is full of characters that have to show who they are, some of their stories are a dud and others eclipse the rest. Edge of Spider-Verse #2 has several strong characters, each with a purpose. Although, with so little panel space two characters were buried beneath Spider-UK. Readers can only hope that any one Spider doesn't take the spotlight.

Edge of Spider-Verse (2022) #4

Sep 24, 2022

Overall, I have enjoyed the entirety of this series, and book #4 was even more fun with how light-hearted, endearing, and genuinely inspirational each new Spider is. I await the next book with anticipation and can only say keep up the fantastic work, Edge of Spider-Verse team!

Gambit (2022) #2

Sep 1, 2022

Gambit is not typically a book I would pick up, but with him being an X-Man and Storm being my second favorite X-Man, I am content with this series. All in all, I think the book has potential and has lightly tapped my attention. Only time will tell with the following couple of issuess if Claremont has succeeded with this duo.

Ghost Rider (2022) #6

Sep 8, 2022

Overall, Benjamin Percy knocked it out of the park. However, Ghost Rider vs. Wolverine is worth the read and going on my favorites shelf. I will be rereading this book as I await the next one.

Ghost Rider (2022) #8

Nov 10, 2022

Overall, I am delighted with this series up to this point and have not disliked a single issue. Ghost Rider is an intense character, and Benjamin Percy and Cory Smith stay true to the character. But, what awaits Talia and Johnny in Chicago, and will they even make it there?

Ghost Rider (2022): Vengeance Forever #1

Aug 11, 2022

Fighting evil with an evil bounty hunter has always been fascinating. Ghost Rider: Vengeance Forever starts by showing you just how cool and amazing it is to have a hero who fights evil not necessarily with honor. Fighting fire with fire if you will. This book was good and I can't wait to see who receives the devil's bounty hunter's wrath next.

Golden Rage #4

Nov 5, 2022

I will continue reading this series and look forward to the rest of the journey with this incredible team. The concept of this story has been introduced previously in the past. Although we have seen different versions of casting out women, this has to be one of my favorites. Because it is raw and honest, we are sometimes dainty and proper, but we can be callus and primitive when required. This series has my undivided attention, and I look forward to watching it develop into its finale in the last issue #5.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (2022) #1

Nov 3, 2022

Lighthearted and fun, I will be looking forward to the next issue. I liked this adventure, and the Guardians of the Galaxy will have something as simple and solvable in the next one. Good job team, making room on my shelf for more of this series.

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1957: Falling Sky

Aug 10, 2022

The idea of a new undiscovered species should be enticing to readers, especially in the Hellboy universe. More could've happened in this book than actually did. But all in all it was a good read and Hellboy will always be one of my favorite heroes.

New Fantastic Four (2022) #3

Aug 5, 2022

With four incredible INDIVIDUAL heroes, it's going to take a lot to show readers they make the ideal team for The New Fantastic Four. Ghost Rider missing and Wolverine on the lam, Spiderman is left with Hulk to clean up the city and deal with another problem. I am not sure this is the best group to put together but I will say they have potential to be something more.

Rick and Morty Presents #100

Oct 29, 2022

Oni Press and the team have done a fantastic job with this book. I naturally can't give a 10/10 because there is always room for improvement. But this book is so close. I can't wait for the next issue to see what schemes of WTF'S are in store for Rick and Morty.

Secret Invasion (2022) #1

Nov 3, 2022

Secret Invasion, while not the first book I would've picked this morning at the comic store when new releases hit the shelves, was an unbridled success. I am pleasantly surprised. I will await each release of the Secret Invasion series to see what happens next. Great job, Ryan North and Francesco Mobili. You have captured our attention.

Silver Surfer: Ghost Light (2023) #2

Mar 8, 2023

A touch of old school never hurt anybody. Showing what comics were to what they are now, how far we have come, and always remembering characters that get us there. I enjoyed this book. And I am looking forward to Silver Surfer: Ghost Light #3.

Skullkickers: 10th Anniversary Super Special

Nov 12, 2022

Skull Killers has a fantastic team; it makes sense that it lasted for ten years. Jim Zub and artist Edwin Huang deliver, and that's all I can say! Get this book and every book from now on. It could be the 3 cups of coffee I've had today, but I don't think so. This work is well done. Here's to ten more years!!

TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures (2022) #2

Nov 12, 2022

I had a gratifying experience with this book. Everything about it made me smile. Erik Burnham and Tim Patrick Lattie understood the assignment. I look forward to reading the next one. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #3 Super Casey is sure to be a phenomenal "episode." Now, I will grab a bowl of cereal in my PJs and watch some old-school cartoons. See ya next time!

Wolverine: Patch (2022) #5

Aug 24, 2022

Patch is old school Wolverine all the way. If Larry Hama writes another series like this one I would look forward to reading it. This series takes you down memory lane not just with its characters but as readers. It reminds us of our experiences with these characters and I loved every second of it.

Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death #2

Sep 16, 2022

Overall, Mignola is giving us the youthful experience with Hellboy we want. This story is well written, and I am curious to see if the illness Hellboy is struggling with is inflicted or just him being a kid.

Young Hellboy: Assault on Castle Death #3

Nov 16, 2022

I had more fun reading this book than the last few- it's a transition book, and we are approaching the end. We must be on the edge of our seats for the final book. I am excited to see how Mike Mignola and Thomas Sniegoski finish the of Assault on Castle Death chapter.
