A Walk Through Hell #1

Jun 24, 2018

The dread builds with every page and leaves the reader needing the next chapter immediately to resume breathing. The visuals firmly ground this tale in reality, making the events disturbing. I don't know where this is headed and I'm anxious for more, but nervous as to what I'll witness.

This series takes a massive supernatural turn that has me hooked all the way to its conclusion. I have a million questions, but this book isn't answering them yet. All I know is, I have to keep reading to find out what the hell is going on. This Walk has me running back for more.

This is fun, but could the Doomsday story be over and thetrulyoriginal content begin? This battle's deja vu is not improving over the original story. I'm much more interested in the “new” Clark, Super Lex, and Lois and Jon. Enjoyable, but I'm ready to move on.

The guessing is over, Mr. Oz is revealed and Superman's life will never be the same. The story is great, though doesn't rate a + because it's only the first chapter in “The Oz Effect.” Future issues will see if this upgrade is warranted in the story. The visuals are exceptionally strong, making Superman a god and his struggles colossal. Recommended.

Superman and Booster try to escape a past that never should have existed. The action is good, the drama heartbreaking, and the tease for next issue excellent. I wish that there had been only one artist and one inker for this issue, because there are pages that don't gel with the rest of the issue.

This is a decent start to the series, though the heroes and title creatures are only in photos and one flashback. Wood is setting the stage for the action of the upcoming issues.

An exciting read set on Earth with a clear purpose for the pair of heroes. Their overall goal will not go as easy as they expect, I'm sure.

The mystery thickens, while the intelligence of the heroes seems to lessen. Given the heroes' past exploits, I would think they'd be smarter in figuring out what the company was doing with the colonists, even if they're observing them from a distance. The visuals are really good. The art and the colors create a really strong sense of terror around every corner, in and outside the ships. I'm still on board for more of this series, but I'm hoping the leads are better than this one plot point.

A new setting brings new terrors, but there's still not much not much alien action in this Aliens book. The opening sequence is fun, as is what's revealed, but this has been a really long tease to encountering the creatures. I did really enjoy the art, with the illustrations and colors creating some fantastic images. A lack of consistent sounds is also hurting this book, as every noise would put the reader on edge, as they did in the films. I liked this issue, but am finding myself impatient to get to see the draws of the title fully appear.

This story is a hit, but the visuals are a major misfire. I love the character's brooding nature, which is part of his charm, and his supporting cast is terrific. Unfortunately the title character is either illustrated roughly, like a hurried sketch, or shown half covered in shadow. This is a major detriment to the book. I'm on board to see where the story is going, but if the art remains the same, I won't be sticking around for long. Angel deserves better.

This is a fantastic first issue that earns my highest possible rating. I was thrilled and practically moved to tears by the finale. Ye gods, if this is the way the series starts this is going to beat BOOM's Buffy series quickly! The characters are fantastic, the visuals awesome, and the letters perfection. This is a book to follow for thrills, chills, and tears.

Angel is a monstrous success. All the laughs, the scares, and feels are here. The mystery is great, the flashbacks interesting, and the terrors terrific. I love the addition of a familiar face in this issue and am on fire to see what's to be done with this character. The visuals are great, continuing the recognizable faces from the show and starting some new terrors with this series. If you've never partaken of Angel, this is the time to take a bite.

The Incredible Hulk is back and everyone better get out of his way! The opening ten pages create much sympathy for Banner, but the visuals are lackluster. Much better are the final two-thirds of the book where the Hulk is set on a task and the Avengers are in his way. The story is good and the art is excellent. A mixed bag, but one worth checking out.

A great story that features no villains, though the visuals could have been tighter. I'm really liking what Aaron is doing with the characters and how T'Challa is reaching out to other characters. I liked seeing Coulson back in action, though what he did or why he did it, I have no clue. The visuals run from great to better than average. I wish that one artist was responsible for this series' artwork and that the credits properly stated who is responsible for what. Even with all this grousing, I'll be back to see what happens next because I really like the characters.

A key issue to have as this introduces the ground crew for the main Avengers. It's wonderful to see these characters, again, and how they interact with others. The visuals continue to be strong to better than average, due to there continuing to be more than one artist and inker on this book. If the visuals were more consistent, my grade would be higher.

This is another reason that Jason Aaron's needs to be writing the adventures of the Avengers 1,000,000 B.C. I am now a fan of this Iron Fist and would love to see more of her in another book or series. The visuals are incredible, with the art and colors breathtaking. The letters are good, though the lack of sounds does diminish their joy. Marvel, why isn't Aaron doing Avengers' stories set in the distant past? This is recommended reading.

Mar 23, 2019

I'm really on the fence about Conan being in an Avengers tale. This was okay, because he was only around Wanda. I'm really apprehensive about his further appearances in this series. That aside, this follows the typical Conan comic book plot: seek a treasure, fight a monster, encounter minions, interrupt a ritual, and battle the giant monster that appears. This is as typical as Conan stories get, just with an Avenger in tow. The visuals are good, but this is a dip in storytelling. Been there, done that — decades ago.

B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know #7

Jul 7, 2018

Varvara gathers her army with one member of the B.P.R.D. terrifying the inhuman horde. I'm loving the pace, the slow reveals, the shocks, the actions, and the visuals of this book. The exorcism scene is incredible, yet the quiet demeanor of Hellboy is just as riveting. Both sides have devils, but which is more powerful? Out-flippin'-standing!

B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know #11

Dec 19, 2018

A child's turn to demon is shown and Rasputin's return heralds the end of the world. Or does it? A very cool origin story with the beginning of the ending truly starting make this story one that a reader fervently speeds through. Even with the world beginning its last gasp, the deaths of two characters will hit fans hard. The visuals are, as always, tremendous, with an origin looking believable and creating tears, while the destruction in the present will bring a reader to their knees. This is a WOW! issue in a WOW! series. Highest possible recommendation.

This hit me hard. I've been following Hellboy since the beginning. Knowing a character — a series — you've followed for so long is ending is a dreadful thing. I weep for the billions of innocents killed in this closing, but every lead character fulfilled their destiny and always fought for what's right. Even dead, Hellboy took a swing at injustice one last time. Even after reading this book for a fourth time to write this review, this continues to be an emotional ending: sad, happy, surprising…But most of all, satisfying. Highest possible recommendation.

A new hero has arrived and she's fantastic! The story is brisk, filled with plenty of action, fun lines, and threads of future plots, and the visuals are detailed and exciting. This is how you launch a book. Yeah, Zenescope, you've got me hooked.

Books of Magic (2018) #1

Oct 28, 2018

This series cannot expect to last long with visuals like this for new readers or stories that fail to do anything original for veteran fans. This pushes all the buttons one would expect of a secretive teenage magic user in modern day England. It will have to do something completely different from J.K. Rowling's blockbuster to come out of its shadows. It will also have to have much better visuals. I'll go one more issue, Vertigo, but my hopes are not high after this reboot.

Character development throughout, with several changes to shake up veteran fans, but little action. I enjoyed this, but didn't love this. I need to see some more Slayer action.

This is the best issue of the series yet, due to one character getting some solid focus. In fact, this issue is entirely character driven with no slaying whatsoever. I liked how uncomfortable Buffy was in trying to be social and the Scoobie on the final seven pages is spectacular. The visuals remain strong, though I don't like the stylized blur used by Mora. The dialogue font is also very limp looking. These are really minor nicks, because this an enjoyable issue.

A change in artists for this issue hurts worse than a vampire's kiss. The story is neat for having one of the Scoobies in trouble, but the villains are so different from the way they've been portrayed in the past they come off as poor substitutes. The new artist in this issue is not consistent with this characters, especially on Willow, and the blurred images for speed look horrible. The colors are also really dim, making the art lessen further. And I continue to find the dialogue font to be practically unreadable. I did not like this issue.

If the characters don't look good and the dialogue too difficult to read, this book should not be purchased or read. I'm walking away from this title because of the subpar visuals. This is a shame because the story has become interesting; I'm still not thrilled with some of the changes from the television series, but with this issue I got on board with the majority of them. This is the first Buffy book I've dropped in twelve years. In just two issues Angel is a much stronger looking series and I'll continue with that. When Buffy looks better, I hope to come back. Looking at her like this mars every outing that's come before.

Captain America (2018) #1

Jul 6, 2018

The last time I read Captain America, which was also a first issue, Sam Wilson was the title character. Captain America realizes the country has lost its way, while trouble is growing in Russia. The story hits all the right Cap moments: Hydra agents, fighting baddies, Sharon Carter, and the government not trusting him. The art is very realistic, though I'm hoping things become more fanciful with the characters and the colors. A solid first issue that will have me returning for more.

Captain America: Living Legend #1

Oct 6, 2013

This is the first Captain America comic I've purchased in about thirty years. I wanted to see Cap in his prime, and I didn't get that. I got too little of the title character, but the visuals were good. I won't be returning to this title based on what I got, and I'm too cheap to shell out $3.99 on a gamble.

Catwoman (2018) #1

I won't be back to this Catwoman. The story is okay, but the villain outshines the title character who isn't in costume enough.

Centipede #1

Jul 15, 2017

The story is building too slowly, but the visuals are engaging in this premiere issue. An unnecessary flashback interrupts the proceedings and it takes a while to get some insect action, though I'm liking the visuals, which remind me of a comic from the early 1980s. I'll be back for the second issue, but I've got to get some more bug action.

This is a great introduction to this character for new readers and an excellent way to reacquaint her fans with what she's capable of.

The visuals show off her abilities and gives her and the other characters some great reactions. I enjoyed this enough to want to continue picking up.

What do you need? A sign from above? This is the horror you're looking for. Monster and man have new blood, but both look to be damned as the voyage inches closer to its dark end. Great story and visuals make monsters truly terrible. Highest possible recommendation.

Dark Ark #12

Dec 27, 2018

God's punishment on man has ended, but for those upon the Dark Ark the hell is only beginning. A killer story with scheming characters, monsters waiting to spring, and something deadly on land. The visuals are awesome with horrors wrought equally with art and colors. This is one terrible voyage you'll enjoy taking. Recommended.

Book passage on Dark Ark as soon as you can if you want to see horrors you've never dreamed. I never thought I would feel sorry for the blasphemes on this boat until what occurs in this issue. The story surprises and scares, the visuals are vibrant and vicious, and the lettering is lively and laudable. This book is a joy to read. Creepy as hell, but a joy.

Dark Ark #14

Feb 17, 2019

Promises were made to the monsters, but only horrors have been found. This story takes readers on the unwritten aftermath of the creatures that survived the Great Flood and makes their fate on land questionable. I love the twists in this saga, with that last page being a jaw-dropper. The visuals are wonderful horrors put on the page, with the monsters now oddly sympathetic now that they've come upon older, stronger creatures. This is the book I reach for first when it comes out. You should reach for a copy. Now. Recommended.

Just when you think this series has been worked into a corner, it turns on you and rips out your heart. Great twists, outstanding emotional moments, and one hell of a finale. The visuals are stunning with so much hope becoming horror with its images and colors. Even the letters create monstrosities on the page. Dark Ark was quite the ride. Is it too early to ask for a hardcover collection?

Dark Nights: Metal #1

Aug 19, 2017

Nine pages were not needed, so the extra two dollars seems unnecessary. When the story begins on 11 things improve considerably, though they're still only setup for what's to be revealed later. Thankfully, the visuals are strong and that makes the extra two bucks seem less painful. Enjoyable, but still nothing is revealed about this Metal story.

A vampire in modern day America off the highway is a dark delight. The characters are funny, sad, and creepy as hell.

I love everything about this book and can't wait to sink my teeth into the next issue. No one does horror like AfterShock! Recommended.

Dark Red #2

Apr 28, 2019

Dark Red is a gloriously deviant read. I love Chip's desire to stay under the radar of everyone, willing to move away from trouble to keep himself safe. And his desire to keep innocents safe instantly makes him likable. The citizens of Fall's End are wholly believable and have me wanting to see more of this location. The visuals are great, going easily from horrors to heartfelt moments. The final page is the best page out of any book this week. This is one hell of a horror book. Highest possible recommendation.

Dark Red is pure gold. The story is exciting and frightening. The visuals are realistic and horrible in its creation of the undead. The colors intensify the text and the art on the page.

A perfect conclusion to a great gory opening saga. The story wraps up incredibly well and the door is left open for more adventures involving Chip and his friends. They cannot come quick enough for me. The story has action, emotion, surprises, and fantastic characters. The visuals are to die for! Every panel is perfection in layout, execution, colors, and letters. This is modern horror at its finest. Highest possible recommendation.

You haven't encountered horror until you've seen Dark Red. This is an engaging, emotional roller coaster ride that will create sympathy and shocks. Chip is the best vampire created in any form of fiction in years. He is amazing. The visuals are spectacular in their ability to capture reality and the supernatural thrills that one hopes aren't real. This is an exceptional book and this is the perfect entry point to start following this series. This is one of my favorite comics. Highest possible recommendation.

Chicago is happening with vampires inducting a new member and two new supernatural races debuting. The characters are delightful in their deviancy, darkness, and humor. I could read a book with these characters just sitting and talking all issue. The action is purposeful and monstrous. The visuals are striking with beauty and horrors. Colors add to the sights and thrills. The letters bring humor to the antiquated signage and power to the fights. This book is one to drink in before it decides to drink you. Fantastic! Highest possible recommendation.

This requires the firstinstallment to understand the story, though the visuals stand on their own. I'll be back to see how this finishes…Right after I track down the previous issue.

Companion Gabby Gonzalez is the focus as this year draws to a close. The action is exciting, the characters engaging, and the visuals stellar. Every Who fan should grab a copy while they can!

You don't need an invitation to jump in. This is where you can run about strange environments and experience exciting adventures that only the Doctor and his friends can supply. A neat mystery and some fun visuals.

This could be the most perfect Doctor Who comic ever created, and it's only the first part! If it continues to look like this, take all my money, Titan Comics! Highest possible recommendation.

Listen to the Doctor, “Buy this comic immediately! My life depends on it!” A smart, funny romp through the world of comic books. Absolutely recommended.

The final line: The mixed colored work hurts the visuals at times, but the story is tremendous fun. This should please Who fans and provide an excellent introduction for those encountering the Doctor for the first time.

Doomsday Clock #1

Nov 25, 2017

I was expecting more from all the hype with this ending up being just a better than average comic. There's too much of the Watchmen for my tastes, but I'm more than eager to continue to see how Rebirth came to be.

Doomsday Clock #2

Dec 30, 2017

The story improves once the Watchmen characters enter the Rebirth Universe, but it does seem as if some elements could have been shortened or omitted. The visuals, however, are exceptional, even if they are aping the style of Watchmen. I would love for this series to strike out new storytelling rather than mirror Moore's series so much. Readable, but slow going.

Doomsday Clock #3

Jan 27, 2018

The heroes are fantastic, but the villains are meh in this continuing slow burn of a story. This is readable, but is definitely taking its time in delivering revelations, focusing instead on having the characters grow, with Rorschach being the focus in this issue. The visuals are flawless; every panel is beautiful. Enjoyable.
