30 Days of Night (2017) #1

Dec 20, 2017

Maybe bigger fans of the 30 Days of Night franchise will enjoy this issue and get them excited for what is to come. It's a short introduction into a new series that will be full of excitement later. This issue is worth reading for Niles' writing and Kowalski's artwork alone.

Adventure Time #71

Dec 7, 2017

Like all Adventure Time comics, the adventure is fun, the writing is silly, the problems are interesting but predictable, and the art is strange. Would anyone who isn't a fan of the show or a fan of crossover comics enjoy these? Maybe, but probably not. But for fans of the show and the characters, there is enough in this issue to satisfy your adventurous needs.

Adventure Time #72

Adventure Time #74

Mar 8, 2018

The story is fresh, the dialogue is funny, the artwork is beautiful, and when there is color, the colors are amazing. This team took a fun idea and executed it really well. This comic is a enjoyable, easy read, and I'd recommend anyone to pick up a copy for a few minutes of adventure and some really neat artwork.

Adventure Time Comics #19

Jan 17, 2018

Overall, the majority of this issue is given to an uninteresting story which unfortunately makes most of the issue unenjoyable. The last two very short stories aren't amazing enough to make the issue a great read. If you're a die-hard Adventure Time fan, the issue may be worth picking up for the artwork itself, especially in the last story. But if you are a casual reader who usually enjoys Adventure Time and anthology comic books, go ahead and pass this one up.

Archie and Friends Digital Digest #3

Archie Christmas Spectacular: 2017 #1

Dec 13, 2017

The great thing about all three of these stories is how much they all embrace the Christmas spirit. Each story has a lot of heart and shows the citizens of Riverdale coming closer together in different ways. Archie Comics are so beloved because of they are charming in that way. Adding the Christmas spirit takes that warm feeling while reading Archie to another level and it makes for a very enjoyable read. This book is a great comic to read to help get into the holiday spirit with all of your favorite Archie characters.

Blossoms 666 #1

Jan 23, 2019

Blossoms: 666 #1 is a sinister and captivating debut to what is sure to be another fantastic Archie Horror series. The issue's story, characters, dialogue, and artwork are all exceptional. There isn't a single weak thing about this first issue and that makes me very excited to get my hands on more of this series.

Blossoms 666 #2

Mar 6, 2019

Cullen Bunn has written an amazing issue that is full of tension, drama, and wickedness with characters that are sexy, intimidating, and menacing. Laura Braga illustrated that tension, drama, and wickedness beautifully and did an exceptional job at turning those sexy, intimidating, and menacing characters into visuals for us to fall in love with. This slow-burn horror series is exactly what the Blossoms needed.

Bully Wars #1

Sep 5, 2018

Bully Wars have started very strong and I hope that it can continue with this momentum because I am in love with this series already. I didn’t realize how much I missed gross and obnoxious illustrated media until I opened up this first issue. It's simple and hilarious while also being remarkable and extraordinary and I cannot wait to get the next issue.

Bully Wars #2

Oct 10, 2018

This second issue of Bully Wars is an extraordinarily good time from start to finish. The writing and artwork are each perfectly bizarre enough to make this a great all-ages comic book. It is full of humor and imagination which makes it one of the most entertaining current series from Image Comics.

Burnouts #1

Sep 19, 2018

Overall, Burnouts #1 is pretty mediocre and doesn’t break any new ground. Though unoriginality doesn’t necessarily make or break an issue for me, the writing just isn’t amazing enough to make the story as interesting as it has potential to be. The issue as a whole had some great qualities but also fell flat in a lot of areas. These faults were enough to make the issue kind of bland and unexciting. A pretty unoriginal idea like this can absolutely work with the right writing, but as of now, I’m not sure that this team is going to be able to pull it off.

Cemetery Beach #1

Sep 12, 2018

Overall, there just isn’t a whole lot here in this first issue of Cemetery Beach and that is a pretty big disappointment. Warren Ellis’ story for the rest of this series may be amazing, but we got pretty much none of it in this issue. All we know so far is that a big buff hero is attempting to escape people with guns and flying droids and that pretty much sums the whole thing up. Jason Howard’s artwork is beautiful as expected, but his art can only carry a story so much. I will see if the rest of the series unfolds to reveal the great storytelling that I know and expect from Ellis, but at the moment, this issue is a dud for me.

Coffin Bound #1

Aug 7, 2019

Coffin Bound reminds me of many Image Comics titles from the last decade but not in a way that makes it feel classic. Instead, it seems incredibly derivative with a hodge-podge of worn-out tropes. It tries very hard to be dark, weird, and exciting, but falls short and just feels like a labored and failed attempt. It is entirely possible the rest of the series will be at least somewhat entertaining, but this first issue doesn't make me too hopeful.

Cold Spots #1

Aug 22, 2018

There is a lot to love about this first issue of Cold Spots and it is obvious that this story is going to contain a lot of emotion. This issue is very bleak but in a very beautiful way. Mark Torres has used his art to create some sinister images and his colors to create a very dark atmosphere. Cullen Bunn’s storytelling is chilling and exciting and is perfectly complemented by Torres’ artwork. This is a great first issue of new horror series that I am now extremely excited about.

Cold Spots #2

Sep 26, 2018

Cullen Bunn and Mark Torres have delivered another amazing horror comic book issue with a dark story that is full of depth. The story continues to become more interesting with every little bit that Bunn reveals and it hasn’t lacked momentum yet. This second issue is a very entertaining follow up to a fantastic debut issue and I am overly eager for more.

Come Into Me #3

Sep 5, 2018

This series should be getting much more recognition because it really is a solid and unique body horror comic book series that is both written and illustrated extremely well. This third issue impressed me so much and I am really interested to see if the next issue can achieve the same thing. I was enthralled through the entire issue and I really believe that other readers will be too. Horror fans will absolutely enjoy it and I will be recommending it for a very long time.

Cosmo #1

Jan 3, 2018

It will be fun to see what Archie Comics goes on to do with these new characters and if the audience will be loyal as the series goes on. I don't know that any of the characters have potential to become an Archie Comics staple like many other beloved characters. Time will tell, but until then, Cosmo is a series to be aware of and to be read if you want some quick, delightful comic book reading.

Cosmo #5

May 23, 2018

I honestly want to write more about this issue but I really just don’t think that there is enough here to do so. The story doesn’t move much at all and the rest of the issue feels forced in an attempt to get this scene of Cosmo in a video game done. I have not lost hope at all though because the series has been great so far and I’m sure there will be more of those amazing issues that I have come to expect from this very talented team.

Deadlife #1

Jul 18, 2018

To be frank, this issue has no character development or plot necessarily. This doesn’t bother me though because the entire book is action-packed enough that I just kept wanting to watch more zombies be killed. To add to that, the zombies are illustrated amazingly scary, mainly because of their large dark and empty eyes. The story may simply be a dad losing his family to zombies and then trying to navigate through the zombie apocalypse like every other zombie story, but the blood and the guts make it worth the read.

This whole first issue didn't establish enough to make me that interested in continuing to read this series. It didn't make me fall in love with the two teenage characters, it didn't make me think either of the gangs were cool enough to read on to find out which is victorious, and I know nothing about the giants or the collapse of their city, but there was not enough to make me interested to find that information. But like I said in the beginning, it definitely has potential because Carlos and Miguel Valderrama's art is very well done. Hopefully, this series will pick up and find a better tempo.

Goosebumps: Monsters At Midnight #3

Feb 14, 2018

As I believe the early Goosebumps books and TV show were great introductions to horror for me as a young child, I believe that these comic books can easily do that for kids of the younger generation that may have not had an older sibling or something to lend them some hand-me-down Goosebump books. It has all of the elements you want in kid-friendly horror media: adventure, scary characters, situations that may seem hopeless, and main characters who are strong enough to escape any trouble they find themselves in. I enjoyed this third issue quite a bit and I think a lot of people old and young will enjoy it as well.

I was very excited for the second issue after reading and loving the first, and this team has absolutely delivered. It captures the unnerving feeling of the first while also being different. This whole team is very talented and I'm once again very excited for the next issue because this issue was absolutely fantastic.

Ice Cream Man #3

Mar 21, 2018

Ice Cream Man should be a must-read series and I will sing its praises to any comic book fan that I know. This issue is the gloomy comic book you expect along with the ridiculousness that you don't. It's a highlight of my month to read these issues, and so far, I'm not even close to disappointed.

Ice Cream Man #4

Apr 25, 2018

Ice Cream Man #4 should be read immediately by anyone reading this. It is the most fun you’ll have reading a comic book that is also making you depressed and kind of scared. This team has taken so many terribly real things about life and artistically created a comic book of them so that we can see these nightmares outside of our minds. This fourth issue is another perfect comic book to add to the first three.

Ice Cream Man #5

Jul 18, 2018

This series never fails to impress me and this fifth issue did its job yet again. This team has created a fascinating and creepy comic book full of creativity that is destined to take you out of your own world for a little bit while you read it. It will suck you in and leave your brain confused and satisfied at the same time. Between Prince’s writing and Morazzo and O’Halloran’s visuals, this issue reveals how comic books are one of the most powerful forms of art.

Aug 15, 2018

Ice Cream Man #6 is another bizarre issue that is also strangely beautiful in every way. W. Maxwell Prince has created a unique comic book and Martin Morazzo and Chris O’Halloran have contributed majorly to its success. This sixth issue is somber and scary and yet is incredibly fun to read.

I hate that I was not impressed with this month’s issue of Ice Cream Man but I know that this isn’t the norm. This issue’s storytelling and dialogue definitely felt forced which caused the issue as a whole to suffer. The style is still there and it can still be enjoyed, especially if you have been reading the series up until this point. But this seventh issue won’t have the same effect on you which is quite disappointing.

Jeepers Creepers #1

Overall, there isn’t much to this first issue to love but there isn’t much to hate either. It is also hard to tell if this will get better or worse as time goes on. I enjoy the small amount of scenes with the Creeper in this issue but am a little bored with the rest of it. The team working on this series has the talent to make a great comic book, but I’m not sure if the subject matter is still interesting enough for a whole comic book series.

This first issue of four is a delightful read for new fans and old. Jared Cullum's watercolor illustrations make this book a book of art as much as a comic book.

In this issue, get to see Jennifer Hernandez’s Sonic the Hedgehog artwork which is always great and just adds a little extra to make this third issue another amazing one.

Sonic The Hedgehog (2018) #4

Apr 25, 2018

We wrap up an entire month of Sonic the Hedgehog with an issue full of action and humor. This rebooted series is doing a great job at establishing the story of Sonic and his world while also appealing to older fans by referencing the past. This issue does that well and I think all readers will enjoy it.

Sonic The Hedgehog (2018) #7

Jul 25, 2018

This series is a nice treat that I look forward to every month. Between Flynn’s storytelling and the carousel of talented artists, each issue contains some amazing and classic comic book action while remaining fresh. Sonic the Hedgehog #7 gives us an amazing battle scene, a nice twist, and a really fun reunion at the end. This issue makes me more excited for the next one more than any issue prior has done. Its drama and conflict with our favorite hedgehog easily create the comic book of the week for me.

Sonic The Hedgehog (2018) #8

Aug 15, 2018

The new Sonic the Hedgehog series is still going strong and doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. This eighth issue is packed with action, beautiful artwork, fun dialogue, and an intense cliffhanger. These are all things that I have come to expect from this Sonic the Hedgehog series and once again, Flynn and company hand deliver it to me.

Star Wars Adventures: Tales From Vader's Castle #1

Oct 3, 2018

This Star Wars series that was advertised to be an all-ages spooky comic book does not deliver on a single promise. The story is boring, the characters are uninteresting, and the art is dull. To add to the disappointment, there is not a single thing even remotely spooky about any of it, which has a little to do with the fact that nothing really happens in it at all. This issue feels like IDW lazily put this series together and threw Star Wars on the cover for a quick cash grab.

Star Wars: Darth Vader (2017) #9

Dec 12, 2017

Once I got to the last page, I felt like the issue was lacking so much needed story development. I'm sure once put together, I will enjoy it a lot more, but I don't know that I feel this amount of substance in this issue is the worth the $3.99. People who are much bigger Star Wars fans may feel differently and feel that the artwork is more than enough, but I personally think the collections offer a much better reading experience and is a much better value.

Stranger Things #1

Sep 26, 2018

This first issue of the new Stranger Things series packs a lot of great artwork and some interesting storytelling but fails to really flow as well as the show does due to some unnatural narration. The issue is pretty good for a media tie-in thanks to an already established plot but I am unsure just how good this series can continue to be while trying to make the little information we have from the show stretch. The show is still in the process of explaining a lot of details to us so it will be interesting to see if this series turns out to simply become a retelling of the story.

Stranger Things #3

Nov 28, 2018

This third issue is packed with horror and emotion which is enhanced by fantastic writing and beautiful and haunting artwork. Fans of the show will enjoy this issue as it emerges you in the Upside Down more than the show usually did. If you were curious to explore how terrible Will's experience was, buy and read this issue.

Tank Girl (2018) #1

Dec 19, 2018

Overall, the modern state of Tank Girl may appeal to younger comic book readers who want a unique female anti-hero, but for fans of the original Tank Girl and it's peculiarity and crassness, this will be a disappointment. Even if I was okay with this issue not reflecting the original Tank Girl, it is just a poorly told uninteresting story with a lot of jokes that feel like it's trying way too hard.

Tank Girl: All Stars #3

Aug 29, 2018

I definitely enjoyed this third issue, but not in the way that I expect to enjoy Tank Girl comics. The art is impressive and is absolutely the highlight of the issue for me. But Tank Girl: All Stars #3 falls short from the lack of eccentricity that made the original Tank Girl comics to fresh and interesting. I can only be entertained so much when I am also disappointed in the storytelling that original Tank Girl writer Alan Martin is delivering.

Empty Man (2019) #7 does its job well by shocking me and creating tension needed to conclude the story next month. The storytelling remains impressive and the artwork is somehow getting more and more amazing in each issue. I was hooked from the start of this series but issues like this seventh one excel at pulling me in further and showing me why I find the horror genre to be so much fun.

The Further Adventures of Nick Wilson #1

Jan 17, 2018

If I didn't know the big names attached to this series, I wouldn't know that they were award-winning writers based on this issue. But like I said previously, it is not a bad issue at all. It will be fun to watch what is in store for Nick WIlson in the future issues, but I am not anxiously waiting for the second issue as of right now. I am open to my mind completely changing on this series as it progresses, so in time we will see.

The Further Adventures of Nick Wilson #2

Feb 21, 2018

This second issue may have been a tad better to start, but the long bar scene with the girl definitely brought it back down for me personally. I think that this issue is enjoyable but I don't think that it is a masterpiece in any way. There are a lot of great current comic book series and a lot of them with issues that have come out today and I think there are better reads than this one.

The Further Adventures of Nick Wilson #3

Mar 21, 2018

I have come to the conclusion, that this entire series is a really bad sitcom that couldn't get made so it was turned into a comic book series. Actually, it's like a bad sitcom that borders on being a soap opera because despite it being a comic book, I can somehow feel the bad acting through the pages. I mean, that in and of itself is pretty impressive, but not impressive enough for me to enjoy reading it.

The Further Adventures of Nick Wilson #4

Apr 21, 2018

It was sold as an amazing, new, fresh, hilarious comic book series written by an award-winning television writer. It was praised for being incredibly humorous by several really funny celebrities that I personally really like. Yet, it has failed in all of those ways by not being that fresh, not being funny at all, and by just being boring. This fourth issue is yet another installment in an overhyped comic book series that will go on to be forgettable in the near future. Issue number four is truly just as boring, unfunny, and cliche as the first three.

The Further Adventures of Nick Wilson #5

May 23, 2018

The mini-series is wrapped up neatly with this kind of cheesy but entertaining final issue. I still wouldn't let all of those quotes from comedians on the back of the issue lead you on in any way because it is not that clever or funny of a series at all. But if you have stuck with Nick Wilson this far, I think that this issue will be very satisfying.

It also helps that the content is extremely well done, especially the main story of The Wrong Earth. It did it’s job of introducing me to new characters, a new story, and a new style and I am absolutely on board already. The extra content in the comic book magazine is quality content and shows us the amazing stuff AHOY Comics is about to unleash on us with the rest of their titles. All in all, reading through this issue was such an enjoyable experience and I recommend others pick it and spend the time with it as well.

Uncle Scrooge (2015) #51

Nov 27, 2019

I know not to expect too much from these Disney comics, but more often than not, they not only satisfy a need for Disney comics for me, but they truly do provide some very entertaining stories. There are times when the comics fall flat and Uncle Scrooge #51’s first and longer story does just that. The second story may be good, but probably not worth the purchase of the entire issue.

It is a relief that I feel like we are finally getting the Vampironica that I wanted so badly before the series came out. It may have taken two issues of what was disappointing to me personally, but here we are, a great new addition to the Archie Horror comics line. This issue has both everything that I want from a vampire comic and an Archie comic: enjoyable characters, terrifying monsters, relatable situations, a dash of humor, and amazing tropey one-liners.

The tiny bit of Jughead isn't enough to save the issue from being a brief and uninspiring build up to the finale.
