I cannot recommend this book to anyone with illustrations like this. Thankfully, this story concludes next month.

The story is pointless and makes this book a cash grab for fans wishing to finally journey to DC's future. I was thinking this would be about the Legion, given as how that name is at the top of this book. Nope. Didn't happen. There are seven pages after the tale that show the characters and give some of the creators' opinions on the new direction of the series. This is a lazy way to promote this reboot. The information on these pages should have been revealed in a story, such as this comic that featured the Legion's name at its top. Skip this book. Don't waste your time or money. Pointless and sad.

A major misfire in reintroducing the Legion to the DC Universe that leaves me concerned. The story appears to be teasing a story without having the courage to simply introduce it in the monthly title when it finally is published. The visuals are okay, but don't impress because the characters I'm paying to read about aren't in the story. I'm incredibly disappointed. Let me put it this way, say you're a writer and the company you write for says it's going to pay you in cash, but instead they give you some paper that says MONEY at the top, but it's not money. Would that writer be happy with what they received? That's how I feel about the writing on this book. With a story this bad, and such a misleading title, I can't average the scores to give a passing grade.

If I could go back in time, I'd do everything in my power to forget I ever looked at this book. A wonderfully running series has been rebirthed as a visual travesty. Just avoid this book!

No specific editor is stated on this book's inside front cover and I can understand why. This is the worst Dynamite comic I have ever read and I'm amazed it ever got published. It's destroying my love for this character and the movie. Avoid this at all costs.

This falls under the “Was this really necessary” origin story. Thanos was–is–cool because he's just evil outright. No explanation needed. That's one reason he's so frightening. Again, this is like Anakin Skywalker: if young Thanos had just been hugged by the right people, none of the following tragedy would ever have happened. Skip this book and pretend it never happened.

This had the perfect foundation to build upon and it fails in every possible way. The humor is flat, the art terrible, the colors hit and miss, and the lettering a disappointment. Save your money and buy a copy of Bubba Ho-Tep. You'll be much more satisfied. A major disappointment.

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.

I was on fire for this book, given the excellent way BOOM! Studios has brought Big Trouble In Little China to comics, but this snuffed out any joy that could be had. A silly “comic book” plot, the wrong artist, and the wrong colorist. This book would convince someone to neverwatch the film. A franchise killer. So disappointing.

These aren't the visuals I want to see on a Lantern book, so I'm one and done with this series. This is a shame because I love the Corps and I've loved Morrison's past works, but I can't get beyond the art. This is a title I would rather read than view. Catch you later, Hal.

I'm a major Legion fan and this is too painful. I can't read this book anymore. Please, DC, cancel this title and send the Legionnaires back to their own time. We'll never speak of this underwhelming series again, I promise. That's what I want for Christmas: Legion Lost cancelled!

This is a rare Dark Horse Comics misfire, with the story and the visuals not being outstanding. It's impossible not to consider this issue, and this series, vastly inferior to the work done on last year's Fire and Stone books. All involved with this book have done much, much better in other works. I'm continuing to follow this series because I love the franchise and I'm curious about what the Engineer is up to, but this series is making it difficult to continue my love.

It took me five issues to make the decision this Red Sonja is not for me. The idea of Sonja as ruler of her people is neat, but she's done nothing for so long I want her to abdicate as soon as possible. The visuals are by two different artists, creating a disjointed reading experience, with the colors being so dreary as to make the non-action of this book even more difficult to slog through. Only the letters are at an acceptable, and outstanding, level. Good luck, Sonja. I'll return when there's a new writer. I'm done.

This is a Star Wars series and notone artist could be found to complete this issue? With all the talent out there, all the artists hungry to create, this was the best that could happen? Very disappointed, Marvel. This is a prime example of a book that should not have been solicited until it was completed — by one artist. And not having the title character in the majority of the book is a mistake. To paraphrase Ian Malcolm from Jurassic Park, “You do have a Hutt in your Jabba the Hutt comic?” This is only worth purchasing for the covers. A major disappointment.

This book seems determined to get itself cancelled. The story is okay, though the flashbacks contribute nothing to the story in the present. The visuals are a fiasco. They are too dissimilar and only draw attention to whichever artist is doing a lackluster job. The colors are also not good. This was the strongest Star Was title published by Marvel, but has fallen to the worst. This series cannot survive looking like this.
View Issue       View Full Review

Because a book has Star Wars in the title it will sell better than others because Star Wars fanatics, such as me, will buy it, more often than not. But that doesn't mean it will be good. As a visual medium, comic books can be destroyed, regardless of how good the story is, buy art that fails to live up to expectations. This is an epic fail from the Dark Horse Star Wars line. I will no longer review this title if it continues in this fashion.

Marvel has a terrible track record with the visuals of their three Disney Star Warsadaptations, and this continues that depressing streak. The story has fun inclusions, but the visuals are horrible. The art, colors, and letters look as though they're from a first time independent publisher. This book is an injustice for Marvel andStar Warsfans.

The story adaptation is fine, but the visuals are lacking in every possible way. Comic books are a visual medium and this book's visuals are not good. Three issues in, a fan would be better served saving their money to buy the novelization of this film. I'm feeling as depressed as Luke Skywalker.

Captain America says the murder of one of the universe's oldest beings, who just so happens to be based next to Earth, is none ofthe Avengers' business; odd ball team upsare occurring–the worst being Strange and the Punisher; the art is of such a poor quality that if there was no dialogue readers would have difficulty knowing who's who; and the colors have no hope of improving the art.

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.

I actually sighed as I purchased this issue, knowing that something in the plot was sure to be revealed, but more than aware it wouldn't bring me the return of two classic DC teams I'm awaiting. I've grown tired with the Watchmen characters. They are too brutal to live and work among the DC characters. This series is diluting the impact of their original twelve issue run.

I've avoided purchasing Justice League books in the past because they're a dollar more than other DC titles. Skimming them, their visualshaven't been worth the extra buck. This one isn't worth the extra length or price. I'll go one more issue, but it's really got to improve for me to continue to purchase. Overinflated, overpriced, underwritten, and underdrawn.

This was a dull conclusion to a sensational set of building chapters. The story felt drawn out and ultimately ended up being a tie-in to Disney's Galaxy's Edge attraction. I was naive to think this was an original story, not a sales pitch. And after having Bazine being the crux of the opening chapters, she's entirely avoided in this conclusion, and readers have to pick up a novel, albeit a "junior" novel, to see what happened with her. I felt used. The art looks good, except when the background is given a horrible computer blur that reminds one of low budget films. I was let down by this conclusion.

Vader is the centerpiece of this conclusion as forces overwhelm him. The story is fun, but the visuals are horrifically mixed.

This is a chase in space that doesn't go far. It's competently written, illustrated, colored, and lettered, but I was just left "meh" by the entire affair.

This has a great conundrum for Anakin, but the visuals bring it down. I was incredibly pleased with the devious plan by the Separatists and I liked that Anakin is still a Jedi, rather than going sinister in his dialogue.

I'm really on board for Houser to write more Star Wars tales, but the rest of this looks like a Marvel Try-Out Book submission.

The visuals do not help this story and are the weakest contribution to this issue. Science fiction comics depend on the visuals to sell the fantastical elements of the story and if they're weak they'll hurt the book, as they do with this. Still, if one likes Green Lantern tales, this will be an okay read, but it does nothing to encourage new readers.

If this is your first issue, it could be confusing. However, if you've been reading this book for a few months, this is going to have a good payoff.

This is good, but it does come off as the middle story in a larger epic, which it is. The reader only needs the last twenty pages to move the story forward.

Two good surprises cap this segment of the Camelot saga, but the visuals don't help the book. I liked the story, with it doing something unexpected and smoothly starting a new direction for one hero. The visuals are constantly filled with odd choices, often too far from the reader or from odd points of view. The colors and letters are good, but with these visuals they can't help enough. This would probably be better in a collected format with the previous installments of this story.

The story is enjoyable, but the visuals are hurting it. I like seeing Hellchild in action and her foe is worthy in battling her.

This final chapter tosses out all the previous elements that made this series stand out. An expected conclusion further lessens what this story could have brought.

The prelude to the film concludes with a world making a fateful decision. I enjoyed half of this story, with Finn and Poe being very enjoyable and the others stuck in a plodding tale of politicking. When all is said and done, was this story necessary? One won't be able to tell until The Rise of Skywalker arrives. The art is strong, with Luke Ross continuing to do a killer job in a galaxy far, far away"The colors unfortunately dull many pages by using passive, faded colors. This is an okay conclusion. I'm not unhappy I purchased it, but I doubt I'll remember much of it in a few months.

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.

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.

The Odyssey has begun, but even Skye isn't prepared to go it alone. The story is great, being a terrific entry point for new readers and going forward at a good clip for veteran fans. Having Cinderella make an appearance is always an excellent way to start an issue, and she's still completely bonkers and deadly as can be. The artwork was a mixed bag for me, with the protagonist looking awkward whenever she faced the reader, and the last few pages being incredibly sparse.

A solid conclusion to a story that provides a transition between A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back. There are minor nicks in this final installment, but it does provide enough strong moments to please fans of the franchise. I'm looking forward to seeing where these creators next take my heroes.

The premise is established and the characters are put in place. This is an acceptable start, though the visuals have some questionable moments. A decent issue, but nothing to write home about.

Things are progressing, slowly. The new characters are clunky in their revelations and dialogue is given at weird times. The art is also uneven, with obvious inspiration for images not blending well with original characters. I'm still on board for more Star Wars, but I'm waiting for something to happen.

Luke takes the lead this issue, though comes off as inconsistent. Leia and Han tease their future relationship, while the princess is making plans for something big. The story is okay, as is the art, but nothing thrills. Nonetheless, this is a competent Star Wars outing.

Plans are revealed and familiar foes arrive to cause trouble for the heroes. This is an okay outing, with the story being a transition issue and the visuals being serviceable. Han Solo is really unlikable in this issue, so I'm hoping that a moment arrives, soon, where he becomes more loyal to Luke, Leia, and the Rebellion.

Luke and Benthic have a conversation that leads to trouble, creating more chaos. Great action, great characters, and great visuals.

Fun stories, but the visuals on the first tale aren't as good as the second. If one enjoys Star Wars, this will be an enjoyable read. However, if one saw the first installment of “Endangered”, this concluding half will be a visual letdown.

If you love Star Wars Resistance you'll enjoy the first tale. I'm not a fan, so it fell flat for me for me story-wise and visually. The second tale is better, as all Lando outings typically are, though it's too short. This was a mixed bag for me. I'm biased against Resistance, so keep that in my mind when looking at his issue.

Fans of Star Wars Resistance and Solo: A Star Wars Story will be pleased with this twosome of tales. I'm admittedly not a fan of the former, while an unabashed fan of the latter. If you enjoy either of these SW spin-offs, this is an issue you're going to need in your collection.

The story places Tarkin in the role of Doctor Frankenstein and his creation wants payback. There aren't any surprises to this tale, though it's still fun to read.

A real mixed bag of short stories with IG-88, Yoda, and Porkins and Biggs. I loved the first, felt okay about the second, and was confused by the intentions of the third. As with any collection of short stories, some are better than others in story and visuals, and how one judges them ultimately depends on the reader. I though this was just a little better than average.

The story is fantastic, but different artists create a jarring visual experience. I would love to see Pak writing more of Luke's adventures after reading this one-shot. Having one artist and inker team would have made this a much more consistent book. If you like Star Wars, you'll enjoy this, but you will have questions about the visuals.

The visuals are great and the story so-so for this final Age of Republic one-shot. Grievous seeks something, but is unprepared for what he finds. I wish the story would have had solidified the character's mission, had some more modern deterrents, and the McGuffin been better explained. The visuals are fantastic, though. I really need to see Ross on a monthly Marvel saga. This is okay reading, but won't convert fence sitters into fans.

A decent story to open the Age of Republic one-shots, though a longer one would could have fleshed out the story better. The visuals are okay, but aren't as consistent as other Star Wars titles.

Two out of three isn't bad for the trio of tales in this special. The first story is standard comic book fare featuring Samuel L. Jackson's iconic Jedi.

An early tale of Obi-Wan and Anakin begins to have the master think differently of his apprentice. The story is great, though the visuals are mixed. One penciler would have solved this issue. The colors are well done, but the letters are very uneven for the jobs required of them. I would still recommend this for fans who want to see the relationship between the Jedi's most famous duo grow.

The story is fun, but mixed visuals hurt the book's impact. Star Wars fans will be in heaven, though new readers might return this to the shelf with the different art styles. This does create a desire in me to read more of Beckett and crew's exploits and I hope that some are created.

This addresses what Phasma was doing after going in with the garbage, with a neat premise stated for future issues. I'm hoping the horrible computer blurs were destroyed with Starkiller Base, as the visuals don't require the effect. With this ending I am interested to see what Phasma does next.

Scene settings, sounds, droid speak and hologram transmissions (the same font), and dialogue are created Joe Caramagna of VC. I'm pleased to see that droid dialogue is different from the sentients' speech, though I did wish it were in a font that wasn't the same as the one employed for hologram transmissions: they sound different in the films, so they should be differently constructed in the comics. The dialogue continues to be too svelte for the characters, rendering their speech wispy, and that's unbecoming of a Sith.

I've never been a fan of the pilots of Star Wars. It's difficult to capture the thrills of the films' ship combat into comics, and this book doesn't really try. Instead, the focus is on the pilots. I'm liking what I'm getting with them in the first tale, but I do hope there's more action in future issues. The second tale left me cold, wondering what I had just read.

Rogue and Gambit are on a mission at a getaway paradise that might lead to them rekindling their relationship. I loved Rogue, thought Gambit was okay, (That's my personal bias) and the visuals were good. Barely any physical conflict in this issue, so I'm hoping for some more next issue. I'll definitely continue to see what happens next.

The conclusion will make or break one's love of this issue, though the visuals are top notch. I was mildly disappointed in the ending, much like the recent “The Button” stories in Batman and The Flash. Much is teased, but not much is really revealed.

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. That said, I need to have Booster Gold back in his monthly book after reading this!

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.

I'm still on board for more of this series, but I'm hoping the leads are better than this one plot point.

Skye seeks another piece of weaponry to aid her quest, but has some major obstacles to overcome. I was glad to see the inclusion of normal characters against the threats, forcing Skye to defend them as well as be on the offense. Goldilocks's return is good and I hope to see more of her soon. The visuals are fine throughout, though not spectacular. That said, I would more than welcome the artist and colorist back. This was a solid comic with The Odyessy arc moving along smoothly.

Skye gets further down the Yellow Brick Road, making new allies and learning more about her shield. There's not much action, but the progression of the story is entertaining. This is essentially a middle piece of Skye in Oz. It's good, but doesn't pack the punch of the previous issue. The visuals are great, having me hope that Casallos returns to another Zenescope book, along with Cortes and Esposito.

A terrific tease of a new character leads to several pages of pin-ups. The only negative that can be said of this book is that the new character only gets five pages. However, this book is not about a story, it's the pin-ups that matter and there are several strong ones in this one-shot. If one is looking for illustrations of beautiful women, this is for you.

Five stories in sixty pages that tease upcoming series is something you should check out.

The bodies are discovered and theories are being thrown about. Nothing is decided in this issue except there's something not right about this town.

This looks much better than it reads. Two separate tales that shouldn't have been combined conclude with strong visuals. I was disappointed in this conclusion, with the horror in the woods considerably more entertaining than Liz and Hellboy on the streets. Perhaps this suffers from prequel storytelling, much like popular films; for example, Star Wars: the reader knows where these characters end up, so is there any tension left in telling an adventure from the past? Readable, but not wholly satisfying.

Let me use a word I've often employed in reviewing the previous issues: WOW. This battle of gods for the future of Earth lived up to the twenty-five years of hype. I am saddened and upset, yet this is the ending that was always eluded to. Why wouldn't it be like this? However, the word “No” has never held such promise. 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.

Stone Mary is probably the toughest woman in comics at present: no super powers, just one strong character. I'm looking forward to seeing how explosive next issue gets.

The iron War-Habit has been found and the climax has begun! Lots of great payoff in this issue, with plenty of action and surprises for Sasha and Gena. Maria continues to be an incredibly strong character, with her being powerful in and out of the suit. The visuals are terrific, often telling the story without text. The colors are beautiful and the letters are perfect. This is storytelling at its best.

It's rare to find a book that's set in such a pessimistic world end so optimistically. This story is over, but it could go on, with the fight continuing elsewhere. I enjoyed the characters and their arcs, the sensational art was based in reality, the colors added immensely to the art, and the letters had me hearing the characters' speech with all the right tones. I was surprised by this book in so many ways. I would absolutely welcome all the creators back for another visit to the land of Dead Kings.

I have no idea what's going on, but I have to keep reading! There's a link between kidnappings almost one hundred years apart and two people look to investigate the current crime.

They are watching. They are near. Now they are acting. The antagonists appear, but their hoods keep their identities hidden.

Even rereading this to write my review I was emotionally drained by what Larsen has done. Action, romance, heartbreak, comedy, and surprises abound. Absolutely recommended. This is my pick for book of the week.

An attempt is made to rescue Angel and Alex, while Buffalo Stu pounds Malcolm. This is extremely fun with plenty of action and humor presented with enjoyable characters. The visuals are stunning with strong action, cool characters, and real and alien locales. The back up features are also terrific. Perfect comic book reading.

The Savage Little Dragons go on a fun adventure reminiscent of a classic newspaper strip. The adults play catch-up while looking for the lost kiddies. The art remains strong, with the children getting neat inspiration from Calvin and Hobbes. If you've never picked up an issue of Savage Dragon before, this would be a good entry point.

Great drama and action are in this issue of Savage Dragon. I'm impressed with how Maxine's urges are causing tension between her and her husband. The visuals are excellent and there's a two paged sequence with the best use of crimson since The Evil Dead. One can never go wrong with the Dragon.

This story is a thunderclap in the face of superhero comics that don't change. The visuals are epic and gut wrenching. The colors bold and dramatic. The letters energetically engage the reader. The phrase is overused, but not in this case: this story changes everything about this series. This ain't no funny book.

Drama, action, heroes, a god, and a robot of questionable origin make this an enjoyable issue. Nothing earth shattering in this installment, though the cast continues to have and create issues for themselves and others. The action sequences are outstanding with the Ant being a good visitor to this series. The final page is a jaw-dropper, making me wonder how long this character will stick around for the never ending trauma.

The oldest Dragon child gets center stage as she unintentionally has to spring into action. The adult drama also continues, with a new character becoming part of the Dragon household and a couple close to making a decision. The story is fun and the visuals are engaging. Heck, even the backup story is terrific! This is a great book.

Action, drama, and Powerhouse! A clever justification has the cover characters involved in fisticuffs and there's a surprising inclusion of a couple's troubles and comic book commentary. The visuals are out of the park, be it people pounding one another or characters having a conversation. The backup features are also fun. You just can't go wrong picking up Savage Dragon.

Malcolm encounters a heavy metal foe, while drama with Maxine continues. I love the Dragon story, with plenty of action and heart, complete with outstanding visuals. The back-up story is also a lot of fun and the premise could have carried an entire issue on its own. Only the Funnies on the inside cover let down, but so what? This is a great read and the perfect entry point for this hero's adventures before he hits the big 250!

This is THE book to get future writers and/or comic book artists. Telgemeier's examples are terrific, especially with photos that show how her life inspired many of her tales. Using examples that any young reader can relate to — events, family, school, or a fanciful imagination — allow any reader to realize that they can create as well. To have a reader want to create their own story is the best gift any author can give. If you know a young reader who wants write or draw, this is the book to get them.

Thematically similar to 1990′s Brat Pack, which focused on four sidekicks, Sidekick shows the disaster that happens when a child stands alone in the spotlight. The results shouldn't be this shocking, but if you can accept the reality of the situation, why would they be any different? This is a reality shot to the head of super powers solo too soon.

This is a comic that wouldn't have me thinking twice to pay more for, it's that good. Vader has a foe that can give him a run for his money, there's a possible tease of something that could be used in The Last Jedi, and the visuals are perfect. The Force isn't strong in this, it's tremendous. Absolutely recommended.

Action, surprises, and a lot of humor make Doctor Aphra a fantastic Star Wars title.

The mysteries continue as a group changes its direction and a new player goes to the park. I love the teasing of the story, with some elements obvious, but most plot threads still not clear. Michael is only briefly in this issue, but is still confused after the events of last issue. Holdmother is quite the evil entity, though Teacher looks to usurp that title. The visuals are solid, with the backgrounds impressive and that last page jaw-dropping. This is the science fiction, mystery, conspiracy you're looking for.

Michael and Claire are on the run, but get some time to consider their next moves. Sci-fi tales with questions of identity that spiral into cosmic calamity are always fun to read, but tough to find.

The visuals are well done, with Kelly, Cunniffe, and Bowland to be congratulated for keeping things real, with the unexpected popping up wonderfully. If you want different, you want Stronghold.

The Lollipop Kids has a wonderfully developed lead who finds himself confronted by supernatural foes and new friends as he searches for his sister. The peek into the history of this group has me very interested at what they can do and the pantheon of creatures that they will battle has me eager to see all the monsters. The visuals are very strong, creating reality and the fantastic well. Heck, even the letters are strong visual elements of this book. You'd be a sucker not to pick up The Lollipop Kids.

I really did not want to like this book. I was a hard core mutant maniac back in the day, but by adding Gambit and relocating to Austrailia, broke my heart, and I couldn't stand any mutant books.

Watchmen is arguably the apex of super hero comics. Providence is the apex of Lovecraft horror. Every story, character, terror is in this series. Lovecraft's original mythos reach their logical/insane end with this story. I've never read The Courtyard or Neonomicon and their stories are key to this conclusion.I've read about them, and one character plays a major role in this series' conclusion. However, this series, and this issue, can be enjoyed without reading them. This is not for children, by any means, but if one is willing to see the fate of humanity, this will read like a dream/nightmare. This is the book of the week.
