Legion of Super-Heroes (2019): Millennium #1 |
Sep 7, 2019 |
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. |

Legion of Super-Heroes (2019): Millennium #2 |
Oct 19, 2019 |
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 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.

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. |

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. |

The story is fine but why would any fan settle for visuals like these? The art looks hastily rendered and the colors an attempt to cash in on a hit book from the competition. If the visuals are like this next month, I'm done with Spider-Gwen. |

The visuals destroy an outstanding story. I don't know how this would appeal to anyone beyond the two franchises. I love both franchises, but was incredibly disappointed in this. IDW has done much better than this and I expect better. I would suggest passing on this and saving one's money for the Planet of the Apes/Green Lantern limited series. |

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. |

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. The story is too familiar for what all the characters do and too brutal for what I want my childhood heroes to do. I'm out. Tell me when the Golden Age heroes and the Legion of Super-Heroes returns. |

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. |

This is a textbook example of how strong a colorist's input is to a book. Sadly, this book shows how it can be its undoing. This middle chapter moves the story along, but lacks any tension. The visuals could have been so much better. |

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #32 |
May 11, 2019 |
The visuals really hurt this issue's new story arc. I'm ready to see how Aphra interacts with the character that appears on the last page and more than willing to see what the object she's stolen can do. The characters are fun throughout, but the visuals are just average or below average. I really disliked the scenes in the present, with the colors looking like they were mirroring a 1980's music video. I'll buy the next issue, but I'm really wanting a different art team. |

Star Wars: Doctor Aphra Annual #3 |
Nov 3, 2019 |
A fun, twisted story is lessened by incomplete visuals and dreary colors. This is a shame because this could have a classic tale. Aphra is barely in this book, but her presence and ability to chart the details in a devious plan are obvious. This reads better than it looks. Decent for long time fans, but off-putting for new readers. |

If you need a Star Wars fix, this will do, but it's not great. The story is fine, but it's the visuals that are this issue's downfall. They look unfinished and rushed, with the colors trying to help where they can.

Star Wars: Vader - Dark Visions (2019) #1 |

This issue does not have me hopeful for the rest of this series. The story is so basic as to allow the artist endless opportunities for epic levels of excitement, but the visuals are the weakest element of this issue and that's not good for a comic book. When all is said is done, did anything important happen? Was there anything memorable in this? The answer is, sadly, no. This is only for the most hardcore Star Wars fans. |

I was let down by the story and art in this issue. Something goes wrong, but was it sabotage? It's very unclear. Did we need all the backstory on Sasha? Not at all. It seems this issue could be skipped and nothing really lost in the overall arc of the story. The visuals went from good to average, and this includes the colors. Four issues in and the characters and reader are no closer to the alien ship. I've grown impatient. I'm still on board for the next issue, but I'm expecting it to be better than this installment. |

Character motivation is missing and panels out of order are signs of a rushed or indifferent execution. This is not worth $2.99, let alone the $4.99 cover price.

Artifact One #4 |
Mar 22, 2019 |
A good stopping point, but not a conclusion for this saga. Characters seem to be rushed to get to their final destinations, though the ending is a triumph. I loved the artwork, which has created a wonderfully unique look for this world. Had the coloring not been so dark it would have been more enjoyable to see. The letters are also visually arresting, done in a font that emphasizes the difference between the races. I enjoyed this series quite a bit and I hope that Aspen doesn't take too long to continue Remi's saga. |

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. |

A fun story is undone by sketchy visuals and overly dark colors. I can only shake my head and wonder what happened with this issue. This series — this team — has done strong work in the past. What happened here? This is the penultimate issue, so my hopes are high that next issue will end with strong visuals. |

Avengers (2016) #675 |
Jan 15, 2018 |
The story throws the reader into the story will no build, which was exciting, but also causes confusion with the bloated cast. Thankfully, the cast shrinks considerably, allowing an easier time for readers in future installments. The visuals are the highpoint of this issue, which dazzle in every panel. I've not read an Avengers comic in decades, so I'm looking at this story as my re-entry to the series. There are many promises begun in this issue that I hope to see delivered. |

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. I'm enjoying the story immensely, I just wish the visuals were better. |

Not perfect, but a fun start. The heroes are introduced and a problem established that goes beyond Earth. The art is suitable, but there's not many opportunities for it to wow the reader, and when it does it misses the mark. The characters are familiar and enjoyable, so I'll be back for more. |

The team is split with three dealing with a classic villain and the others carrying an unsuspecting traitor. I was thrilled to see who the big bad was and he's fantastic. The cosmic locale is interesting and I'm hoping to see more of it and the character encountered there. The visuals are fine, though there are some loosely rendered images that lessen the book. The colors, however, are stunning, with some wildly entertaining choices in a quirky setting. This series continues to be enjoyable. |

Avengers: No Road Home #6 |
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. |

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. |

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.

Serviceable story and art, but in the grand scheme of this series it could probably be skipped and nothing lost.

A fun read, though there's a lot of chasing that doesn't really go anywhere. The flashbacks are the best part of the story. This issue felt as though the scenes in the present were just padding the series. They're fun, but not really necessary to the overall arc. The visuals, thankfully are strong, with the colors and letters outstanding. Even with these minor nicks, I'm looking forward to seeing how this ends. |

Hack/Slash vs Vampirella #1 |
Oct 8, 2017 |
The characters are the highlight of the issue as the villain and her plot are introduced. Cassie is the big winner, with enough personality to fill a room. Her companion Vlad has some fun moments, too, but Vampirella serves only to provide exposition. I enjoy both characters enough to continue, though I'm hoping the story has the vampire doing more. The visuals, however, were terrific noir pieces that wowed. |

This is a good intro to these familiar heroes who are in a wonderfully warped environment. Buy this or Billy will make you go CHOOM. |

After reading every issue of this series I realize that this should have been two separate books with each focusing on one group. Combining the two into one series wasn't necessary, especially since the title focuses on only one land.

At least the visuals never disappointed. |

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. |

Old time readers will find plenty to enjoy, though there are instances which might skew too far to younger readers. If Marvel keeps Tony this way, they are sure to have a long run with this series. |

The mystery thickens, while the intelligence of the heroes seems to lessen.

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. |

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. |

The tipping point has arrived and there's no going back. It was nice to see the focus on Superman, who's the one character to unify this entire story that takes place in three different countries. The story also finally seems to be going somewhere, so that was long due change. The visuals continue to be top notch, with the coloring and lettering strong, though the absence of sounds is sad. Still, the story is finally reached a crisis point. Now what, Mr. Johns? |

Edgar Allan Poe (Ahoy): Snifter of Terror Season Two #1 |
Oct 13, 2019 |
This is a must-buy book for fans of Edgar Allan Poe or a good laugh. Motter's tale is clever, funny, and an absolute joy to read. I didn't enjoy the poems, but the short story by Mallory is fun, and Emerson's two pages are a delight. If you want fun and horror, you want Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Terror, Season Two. Recommended. |

Kolchak: The Night Stalker Files #3 |

I want Kolchak's new tales to be this creepy and this fun. This gave me exactly what I wanted! Thank you, Moonstone, and, please, don't stop! |

Midnight Mystery: City of Ghosts #1 |
Jul 6, 2019 |
This was an enjoyable read. A classic detective crosses paths with the supernatural and has me wanting more. I like the classic gumshoe vibe and a supporting cast with some questionable motivations. The visuals are very stylized, but I like the way they look. The colors are also terrific, with blue and orange dominating, each punctuating a scene. Plus, this is only $1.50. Are you kidding me? I'll give any book a try for this cover price. Based on this one issue, Alterna Comics has me actively looking for more of their works. I'd definitely recommend this book. |

A great start that sets the stage for the chaos to come. I love Mary and am happy to see her back in another series. This issue expands her character by revealing much of her background. Also increasing her character is her day job, which is something that others often think about but never act upon. The visuals capture the real world and the one beyond the grave well. Though this issue starts this calmly, I'm sure upcoming issues will have more action. I'm ready for more! |

Skeevy heroics have never been so entertaining. The protagonist is driven to a fault and now he's joined by a female sidekick who wants reimbursement for the destruction of last issue. The dialogue between Robot Paul and a gangster is funny, with the poor mechanical creature in a precarious situation. The visuals are a trippy amalgamation of Heavy Metal and Manga-like artwork. It's detailed, furious, and funny. There's so much to like in this book, it's almost enough to make you forget that the lead is a such terrible person. This is a great guilty pleasure. |

Pestilence: A Story of Satan #1 |
Jun 10, 2018 |
The plague has returned and three men must join together to try and stop it. The story is fun, weaving in classic historical settings with zombie outbreaks. The introduction of a new antagonist could make this series more epic than the previous saga. The artwork is as killer as the zombies that populate this tale. There is so much goodness in each panel that it's a spectacle on every page. If things go well, this Pestilence will find its way into your hands and you'll never look at medieval times the same way.

A trio of tales that will please any Apes fan. Each story is outstanding and only one has art that didn't live up to the story's potential. The Dan Abnett story is what you give non-Apes fans to read to get them into Apes comics. This collection is worth the price, and it is a hefty one at $7.99. You get forty pages and no ads. The paper is good quality and you could use that cover to cut a steak. I would love to see BOOM! return with more tales from the time of man. |

May 11, 2019 |
As with many of the improbable Archie character team ups, I didn't think that this could work. It works tremendously. It's got a bit of off panel violence, with the majority of the issue focused on introducing the threat and showing how Vampirella and Sonja try to blend into Riverdale High with help from Betty and Veronica. The characters are absolutely true to their incarnations in other series, with both sets of women having some terrific lines and moments. The visuals were equally good; I loved the characters' expressions. This has absolutely no reason to be so fun, but it absolutely is. This is not your usual comic book team up. |

This issue is a dollar more than usual, but the increase is worth it. The first story is amazing, and the second, though it has visual flaws, is also excellent. A set of antagonists are set on plaguing the Rebellion and their expected confrontations with the heroes look to be exciting. I appreciate an experimentation in trying some new visuals in a book, but those in the second story just cannot hold a candle to those in the first. That said, I recommend this book to Star Wars fans and to those looking for an entry point into this saga. This looks to be the start of something really good! |

This issue answers the burning question how a Wookiee relieves stress and it's a hoot. Plenty of fun in the first tale and a great tease of more to come from a supporting character from Episode VII. The visuals are great on both tales, keeping the scares safe for younger readers and entertaining for the older fans. Great Star Wars entertainment. |

Hidden moments from Episode VII are accompanied by outstanding visuals. This story does add a bit to Rey's background, but isn't necessary information that greatly expands her character. Chewie has some great scenes in this, as does Leia, who utters a familiar line that left me screaming. The visuals are worthy of praise, with me really wanting to see more of Rosanas's work. This is a book worth getting, but there are stronger installments in this series of one-shots. |

The visuals are outstanding, with Ross and Tartaglia doing beautiful work on this horrific Sith. The only ding is the lack of sounds that would have truly captured the auditory element of the films. This book is recommended for all Star Wars fans and could be the gateway in creating new ones. Dear Marvel, can we get this team on a monthly series? " PLEASE! |

It's great to see Greedo in action and the book's object of desire is revealed. I really liked the story, giving this infamous second shot (that's right, I went there) his due as a gunman. The visuals are good, creating excellent action and great looking aliens. The colors were a bit too pale, muting some of the dynamic panels, and the letters continue to contain the flaws of previous Star Wars books. The latter two elements don't hurt the book considerably, but this could have been a classic tale. This is one to track down. |

Every hero and villain gets a moment, before the final two pages focus on the most important scene for a specific character. The story is epic, with heroes and villains clashing, while civilians run for shelter. The visuals would have received an A+ had there not been so much horrific computer blurring that only points how ineffective the technique is in comic books. I'd still recommend this book to any fan who wants to read a super hero saga. |

A mystery with supernatural overtones begins that slowly spirals into something much more massive. One of the joys of a Grey tale is not knowing where the story is going and this is one of this book's strengths. I love stories that start small and then grow into something massive and this, too, is a strength. The art grew on me, eventually, though it did pull me out of the reading experience occasionally. This looks to be the start of something wonderful. |

This is the best book of the week and gets my highest possible recommendation. Mammals don't just have consciousness, bees do too and heaven help those that stand in their way. The story is riveting and the visuals outstanding. If you aren't reading Animosity, you're missing out on something wondrous. |

The bees and the humans have their final showdown with devastating results. Young Jesse is caught in the middle, while Sandor does his best to protect her. These characters are engaging and ever changing, one moment getting one's sympathies and the next casting incredible doubt on their natures. The visuals bring the animal world to life in beautiful and terrifying ways. Animosity is a roller coaster of a read that can't be missed. Recommended. |

A character is formally introduced to the team creating the “New Era” for this series. This is a quiet issue, featuring characters' reactions to Alan's creation and unveiling. There are sweet and angry reactions, but all are honest for each individual. Several plot threads are left dangling for future outings, and that's fine. A change of pace for any series is good, and this story was very enjoyable. I would recommend this or any other Atomic Robo series to anyone seeking science fiction fun. |

The premise is incredibly topical and the visuals are striking for their design and colors. If you think there's nothing new in comics, you need to make a connection with this book. |

The journey into what drives the Batman is a beautiful and sad telling. The story finally gets into the Dark Knight's soul and answers some important questions. James Gordon gets some neat action sequences and the citizens and criminals get some space to react to an iconic item. The visuals are exceptional in this issue, with them showing a lot of humor and a lot of horrors, including personal failings. If you haven't read the first three issues, you could pick this up and not be lost. Seriously, this is a book that every Batman fan should read. |

You'll be missing out on something wonderful if you don't add this to your pull list. The story starts small and goes epic quickly. The story possibilities are endless for this premise. The characters are engaging, with the protagonists smart and cool and the antagonists monsters. The visuals are excellent; I love the design of the characters and the settings are awesome. The colors are bright and perfect. The lettering adds to the excitement in action scenes. This is a perfect comic book. Congratulations to all involved. I'll take as many issues of The Dark Age as you can make, Red 5. Highest possible recommendation. |

Dark Ark: After the Flood #1 |
Oct 7, 2019 |
The saga continues as the Dark Ark has successfully come ashore. What the humans and the monsters do next is going to be a new Hell on Earth and I can't wait to see how it goes. Bunn continues to create shivers as well as heartbreak, while Doe makes the valiant and damned incredible. Sharpe has every character sound unique and gives birth to sounds that will shake the heavens. Truly, this is a comic to thankful for as Hell resumes its work. Highest possible recommendation. |

The visuals are great in setting a scene and showing hopes and horrors, while the colors are expressionist explosions upon each page.Dark Ark is a “must-read” for fans of horror and monsters.

Shrae has already made a deal with the devil, now he tries to deal with another. The introduction and justification for this new antagonist is excellent. The best compliment that can be given a writer is I have no idea how the protagonist can get out of the corner he's been painted into. Bunn has created a foe for all humans to fear more immediately than the wrath of God. The visuals by Doe are also outstanding, showing monsters of all shapes and sizes with dazzling color work. This book should be required reading for horror enthusiasts. |

Many big payoffs in this issue as the Dark Ark tries to stay afloat. I love how daughter Khalee is a fully developed character who might be the death of her father and how some of the monsters are more humane than those aboard the ship. The visuals are amazing, full of horrors and humanity. I still believe that this series can't end well for anyone, though the final panel assumes it might. A must read for fans of horror. |

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. |

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. |

If a comic can get a reader to run to rewatch the films, it's more than successful as a companion piece to them. This book shows that two teams are indeed better than one. |

The story is fun, with a new villain introduced and the visuals incredibly strong, leaving me wanting to see much more from artist Leo Rodrigues. Merlin continues to release the Age of Camelot upon the world, with only Skye to stop him. I really liked this issue. |

There's so much going on it's impressive that the story progresses so smoothy. I would have expected a character to have been left out of this installment, but everyone has something to do and all of it's entertaining. The visuals are flat out awesomeness and I need to see Goetten doing more interiors for Zenescope. More please, Zenescope! |

This series continues to reach epic heights with the Camelot saga. Skye looks for an important object, the Black Knight and Puck are in action, Merlin continues to scheme, and the reassembled Knights of the Round Table continue to do harm upon all they encounter. My only complaint is that this is only 22 pages. Great fun to read. |

Dorothy seeks information in Oz, but is unaware of the dramatic changes occurring there. The story has some solid action with flying gorillas, a neat twist literally placed upon her, and a slick change in her visage by the end. The visuals are highly enjoyable with Main making Oz magical and menacing. Skye's odyssey continues to be a pleasure to read. |

This is a collection of short stories teasing upcoming series from Zenescope and it's good.

Hellboy vs. Lobster Johnson in: The Ring of Death #1 |
May 31, 2019 |
This is a hilarious read, both in the film and the Visitor's short story. The film captures every type of cheese there is to be had in a 1950's low budget film. The characters look great and Hellboy, both versions of him, are a hoot. The Visitor tale was a welcome return to this supporting character and I'd love to see more of him. Hellboy continues to live in these early adventures. |

The visuals are dark and glorious, though every element of the visuals can be seen in this tale. Even the letters, with Adam's horrific speech, add to the foreshadowing of doom. This is a must-buy for all fans of horror and the doctor's iconic creation. Even if one hasn't purchased the previous issues, you could start here and fully enjoy the horror. |

From the first page the tension of what Adam will do seeps into every illustration and when he's on the page it's wonderfully monstrous. I love the visuals on this book, solidifying my love of Sherman's art. This deliciously dark and devious twisting of the classic tale is one that can't be passed up. Absolutely recommended. |

The visuals are good, with just enough craziness peeping out from corners to hint at trouble that's down the road. This book is a winner. |

I had to return to this series for Interdimensional Cable and I was not disappointed. I got plenty of laughs, great visuals, and an excellent twist on what I was expecting. The second tale is okay for it being a change of pace for this series and franchise, but it isn't one I'll remember.

Rick and the Smiths' dialogue is exceptionally sharp in this issue, with it making me laugh several times. The second story shows that Death thinks of Jerry much in the way everyone does. The visuals are top notch, with the characters looking like their screen personas, with McGinty's art looking particularly sweet. You're r-r-really gonna — URRP — love this issue. |

The visuals are excellent with the characters looking like those from the films, the alien worlds keen, and the colors manipulating the reader wonderfully. Sorry, Marvel, you can't just have this be one issue. There must be more. Please! |

Star Wars: Blood Ties: Boba Fett is Dead #1 |
Apr 27, 2012 |
This is going to be blaspheme among Star Wars fans–I don't care for Boba Fett. Never have, never will. Bounty hunters absolutely bore me. But this story is a nice little tweak in everyone's favorite bounty hunter. I'm interested enough to go along for the ride. If you can get me interested in this Mandalorian, you've done your job well, gentlemen. |

I wasn't prepared to like this book, but I did. Being a Star Wars junkie, I had to check it out. The story expands DJ a bit, though only in how he operates his funds and life on Canto Bight. I would be more than welcome to more tales of this character if the same team were to create them. The visuals are fantastic, with DJ resembling Del Toro well. I enjoyed this DJ more so than the character in the The Last Jedi. He has much more to do. This was an enjoyable read. |

This is the best issue yet, with plenty of TIE action and deadly repercussions.

This issue also humanizes the Imperials, something not seen enough in the comics. That said, their numbers are shrinking, so survival is key. Great visuals this time out as well. The space battles really impress with their speed and ferocity. This is a winning issue in every possible way. |

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. Hester's tale ponders the big questions while keeping the heroes on the run. 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 Shield (2015) #1 |
Oct 24, 2015 |
This book was completely off my radar, but I had seen it mentioned in places online. I'm thankful that I did because it spurred me to check this out, and I'm glad that I did. An exciting opening that instantly grabs the reader transitions to a woman in search of her past, and it's a varied one at that. A strong story with superior illustrations make this a book I'll follow. If you think there's nothing new in comics, this will prove you wrong. |

An action packed start with the hero in an unusual setting, fighting foes that are different from those she's fought before, racing to find a secret artifact that could end her neverending quest. Whew! There's a lot of good stuff in this issue that should be in your hands. |

Venomverse #1 |
Sep 21, 2017 |
A great beginning that captures the spirit of fun of 1980s Marvel comics. There's nothing deep, just action and adventure starring Venom and slew of familiar faces bonded to a symbiote. If more Marvel comics were like this, I'd be buying more Marvel comics. |

Volition #1 |
Sep 11, 2018 |
This is a very polished introduction to this world which has an amazing amount of depth. The robotic leads are very engaging and I'm looking forward to seeing what happens when these two finally meet. The visuals are incredibly detailed, bringing this incredible world to life spectacularly. The visuals are so good, I'd love to see this collected in a larger format so that all of the details could be more easily examined. This is a dream for fans of science fiction: robots, mystery, and sumptuous visuals. AfterShock Comics continues to show it's a leader in world building books. |

War of the Realms #1 |
Apr 6, 2019 |
You've got to buy this book. This is modern Marvel Comics at their finest. Every hero gets a great scene and the villains are glorious. Even if you haven't read a Marvel Comic in years, you can jump in and be instantly immersed in this tale. The visuals are staggeringly epic, be they the inhabitants of the realms or the familiar faces on Earth. This is why comic books continue to thrive and inspire. This War is for everyone. Get a copy while you can. Highest possible recommendation. |

Things go horribly wrong for the heroes and the saga has never been more enjoyable. A major character finally appears, while another falls. Some characters feel they've made the right decision, while another feels very differently. Just like life, only time will tell if the right decision was made. The right decision a reader could make is to pick this up. Absolutely recommended. |

Providence #12 |
Apr 6, 2017 |
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. Besides, reading it will make "it" occur all the more quickly. Highest possible recommendation. |

Apr 27, 2012 |
I've read a lot of Star Wars comics. It's no small claim when I say this is the greatest Star Wars series I have ever read. It would be a crime if Dark Horse does not collect this into a hardcover. Why is there no Eisner Award for Franchise in Another Medium? This would win. Highest possible recommendation. |

I don't like romance in a Star Wars adventure. I don't! I want lightsabers, I want aliens, I want fighting–I'm a boy! Gimmie what I want. Okay, I'm an old boy…But I have to admit, I'm on the edge of my seat wondering what will happen with Xesh and Shea. Everything else, the battles, the settings, etc., has become secondary. This book is the perfect balance of action and romance in a galaxy far, far away. Disney: Take note! If you're gonna go this route, please consult all involved with this book to do it right! |

The secret supernatural interfering of three witches shows that they did much more than the Bard ever told. A sensational secret tale brought to light in a superb way. A “Must Read” for fans of Shakespeare, the supernatural, or good storytelling. Recommended. |

We're only three issues in and Byrne continues to ramp up and expand the story and the art. We started with a bank robbery, went to an underwater nemesis and now this issue! How the heck can Byrne expand the Trio universe even further? I can't wait to see how! |

Trio #4 |
Aug 31, 2012 |
The saddest words I've read in a comic of late come on the final page: “To be continued! We promise!” Byrne's taking a long vacation, his first in a long, long time. So that means you've all got a homework assignment: read this book and the previous three and join me in the anticipation for the continuation of this series. Four colored awesomeness that's required reading! |
