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.

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.

What's above ground is fantastic, but once the reader submerges into The Deepit becomes an undefined hodgepodge that doesn't frighten or entertain. Very disappointing.

This was a disappointingly rote story involving the supernatural with Constantine portrayed to over-the-top absurdity. The visuals were equally bad. No threats = no fun. This was awful.

I'm not going to follow this series any more with this art team. I can't followa book that has a mature storyline that is aping the style so blatantly of another book. Utterly disappointing.

I learned nothing about the origin of this character. I went on a trip that seemed to go against the previously shown nature of this character. I just did not like this.

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.

An unlikable mess. Avoid.

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.

A real mixed bag, to be sure. The three I loved, I really loved, and those I didn't (“R.I.P.”) should have beentakin out of this collection. I wish I had a time machine to go back and do that, or get my $7.99 back. You'd be better off buying a novel than getting this comic.

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.

This adaptation has some fun additions to the film, but the visuals hinder any joy in reading it. The colors are much improved this issue, but the sounds keep the letters from receiving a higher score. It's hard to believe that this book is part of the same franchise of books that have such superior visuals. A really mixed bag. Only for hard core Star Wars fans.

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.

I'm surprised this book's production values doesn't create the controversy the film does. This is just not a good looking book on any level. I love Star Wars, but the visuals on this book just break my heart. I would avoid this publication.

Major events are cut off at the knees due to poor visuals. As with The Force Awakens and Rogue One, Marvel continues to destroy any attempts to create classic movie adaptations by using poor visuals. This book, this series, is only for completists.

I feel slapped by DC for the way this book turned out. Again, this company has shown they have no clue, or don't care, about what to do with this team of heroes who are being killed by mediocre efforts. An utter failure.

If I were DC, I would be embarrassed by this being published. A D-level team fighting the Legion with the worst art I think I've ever seen on this team. I would rather the Legion disappear for a year or two than have them appear in books like this.

If this is the reboot, fans are going to be disappointed and I don't see how this would attract new readers.

I would rather this series be cancelled than continue if it reads like this or looks like this. A sad endeavor that destroys the power and the wonder of Edgar Rice Burroughs's work. Avoid.

Just make it stop. Thankfully, this series is concluded next month.

Things could completely turn around next issue, but looked at on its own this is shrug inducing reading.

I'll look at the next issue before I pick it up. But if it's primarily a flashback or has visuals as dismal as this, I'm out. Time to pull out those issues from the 1970s to cleanse myself of this reading experience.

This isn't a Catwoman comic, it's a mobster comic, and I felt I was taken. I was bored and lost with the story. I'll skim the next issue before purchasing it.

Three issues is more than enough time to sample a series and I'm out. I'd like more than two pagesof Catwoman in a book titled Catwoman, and I'm absolutely bored with gangster politics. I love the art but just don't care about any aspect ofthis story. Sorry, DC.

I can't recommend this unless you're a completist. I loved Lemire's work on Justice League Dark, but this was like he was just going through the motions to fill space. I bought this for Dawnstar and Wildstar, and I wish I hadn't.

Pass on this.

I love the idea of the Suicide Squad, but if this is the rebooted version of the reboot, I hope it dies quickly. I will not return to this book with these creators.

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. I wanted totear myeyes outafter reading this book. A painfully sad experience. If this is what passes for Marvel's summer blockbuster story, I'm glad that Uatu is dead and doesn't have to watch it. I know I won't any more.

If you're a fan of the games you might enjoy this. The visuals are good, but this opening issue's story is so poor I won't be returning.

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.

I don't know if I'll be continuing with this book. The story isn't great and the art varies from average to poor. I wanted this to be fun, and it hasn't been. It's only my love of the movies that has me continuing, but I think that love may have ended.

Takes a while to get going, but the premise is interesting. The visuals really hurt the book, though. I'm in for at least one more, but I need the visuals to improve.

An overly familiar tale and visuals that do not work have me discontinuing this series. I salute AfterShock for doing something that looks different, but this is not for me.

I bought this because it was a crossover book. As such, it was superfluous. As a focus on Luke Cage, and how that character functions, it was very successful. Not what I wanted, but not a disappointment.

It doesn't matter how good this book looked, the horrendously boring story is an unnecessary tie-in to A Vs. X. Avoid at all costs!

Of all the crossover books I've read during this megaseries, this story frustrates me the most. Rather than what's going on in the present, we're at a snail's pace in the past. It's killing any chance I have of liking this book. It's heavily influencing my grade.

A letdown in practically every way.

I was fortunate as an American teenager in the eighties to be able to buy the original newsprint weekly 2000 A.D.s. I'll never forget the cover of the first issue I bought: The Dave Cluck Five. I can't find anything memorable about this book. Very disappointing.

A major misfire of story, art, and colors. I'll go one more issue, but if something hasn't improved, this title is damned.

I picked this up to check out what all the buzz was about forthis character. If this issue is any indication of what was previously done, I missed nothing but some neat covers. 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.

A major misfire as the humor is lost in realistic visuals and colors that are too dark. If one doesn't have a lot of knowledge of recent Archie titles this could also impede one's enjoyment. I really wanted to like this series — I LOVED the first one, but the realism of the visuals is killing the joy. I might return for another issue, but my expectations are considerably lowered.

This will probably be my last issue for this series. It's not as funny as the previous series and the visuals are an absolute detriment to the reading experience. Maybe my hopes were too high. Regardless, this is a messy looking book, where the covers outshine the interiors. I would suggest perusing before purchasing.

I'm enough of an X-Files fan to continue to read, no matter what, but I'm hoping things improve. Not enough Mulder and Scully so far, and the Vegas flashback seems unnecessary. My opinion, hopefully, could change with the next issue, but this is feeling lacking.

A disappointing conclusion to a good premise. Too much time in the past, makes this a story that could have been told without any tie to The X-Files. Add inthe mixed visuals, and this is a lackluster outing.

This is a depressing, dark book where everything seems hopeless. Why would I spend three dollars a month to get depressed? The Walking Dead has more hope than this book! I'll give the “official” first issue a try, but if it's more of the same, why bother?

I'm out. The story is okay, but the art is killing me. If you enjoyed Barbara Gordon, pre-The Killing Joke, and Batman working together, this looks poised to deliver the same type of stories only with more violence.

I was so looking forward to this series. Now I look forward to its quick conclusion, and I'm really concerned about the upcoming Willow series now. I expect much better, Dark Horse.

The best issue yet, but still not near the quality of the monthly Buffy book.

I'd rather this series be cancelled than continued like this. I need major changes by Issue #6.

I paid the money, I took the ride, and I regreted it. This is the last issue of this series as Spike moves back into the main continuity. This entire series, from the premise to the talented used, was way off. Dark Horse has got a long way to go to match the level of IDW's Spike tales. Compared to every other published Dark Horse Buffy book, this is the weakest produced. Very, very disappointing.

This is a weak entry into the Star Wars canon. Marvel has got to step things up.

A frustrating reading experience on many levels. This is how not to produce a Star Wars comic.

This is quickly degrading from the previous issue. A question of timing and poor visuals make this a runner up to the Star Wars Holiday Special. If you love Star Wars or comic books, avoid this.

The art and coloring have improved and the book is better. This now looks like a Star Wars book. I hope it closes out as well as this installment was.

I couldn't recommend this to the hardest of hard core fans. This issue was a disappointment, as was this entire arc. Unnecessary and visually disappointing. Look elsewhere for Star Wars stories.

I was really disappointed in this book. This makes me glad I'm not purchasing all the Superman titles on a regular basis. I'd avoid this.

Romeo and Juliet gets some genre spin with visuals that occasionally stumble. I like the premise, but the visuals are too mixed to enjoy. I'll eyeball the next issue and if the art looks improved, I'll pick it up. If it looks the same, this will be my only issue.

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.

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. The visuals were the real black eye for me, with realism making things too difficult to see. If I can't see the art clearly, I might as well save my money and buy a novel.

A disappointing visual experiment. I don't know if I'll purchase the conclusion.

This would not encourage me to explore Earth 2.

This book looks superior, but reads like last year's model. Having a book set outside the normal crime fighting happenings of Gotham is a terrific idea, but the story has really got to improve if this is to survive.

An okay story with average to below-average visuals won't have me returning for other issues.

A good start to a story with some very sketchy visuals. A quest is begun and I'm looking forward to where it's going. I'm not thrilled by the unfinished look to the artwork and colors that come off as very bland. I'm hoping the visuals improve as this goes on, otherwise they could mar the unfolding story.

A letdown in several ways. Legion fans, I feel your pain.

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. Disappointing.

This storyline hasn't completed, but I'm done. I've been very disappointed in the story and art and don't think this book is worth the cover price. I expect better on DC Comics' flagship team book. Six issues is more than enough time to hope for improvement.

I'm just reading this book to finish out this saga, but it's disappointing to read. I should not have believed the hype for this series.

Hitch, the writer, is good, but Hitch, the artist, leaves much to be desired. These are not the visuals to use to relaunch a company's flagship team book. I love the Justice League, but this makes me sad. You'll feel better if you skip this book. I wish I had.

This was an average comic. Any spark that made Lobo fun has been neutered with this new Lobo. Generic, acceptable reading, but not one I'll purchase again.

Nothing about this character encourages me to continue reading his adventures. Even Guy Gardner is more likable than Kenan Kong. I'll give this series one more issue, but why would I read something with such an unlikable lead? This isn't even close to being “super.”

What was I expecting for a buck? Satisfaction in a payoff, or at least a tease, visually, of things to come. Based on this issue, I won't be returning when this series goes to full price.

A solid beginning to a story, but there's no conclusion. This issue shows how Oz is effected by a villain that's been running rampant in other books, and that's good, but the heroes are still in peril by the conclusion. I would have preferred to see a conclusion. The visuals are fine, but the dialogue style comes across as lacking. This should have been a miniseries and not a one-shot.

The bar was set high with Fire and Stone. This series, visually, is far below it. If the visuals continue to look like this, I'll look at the next issue, but not purchase it. Dark Horse, what happened?

I didn't continue to purchase the recent Predator series after its inital issue because of the visuals and I'm feeling somewhat the same on this series. However, because I'm interested in learning more about the Engineers, I may continue to purchase this. The story is fine, but the visuals should have been stronger.

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.

Average.

A great first issue for the new direction of this iconic character. The premise is good and the action superb, though the humor is a little too modern at times. I love the visuals, with the characters and battles excellent, the colors spot on, and the lettering increasing every emotion and action. This is a Sonja I'll follow.

The story moves forward, but with very little action. The visuals are perfect, with Sonja looking the most real she's ever been portrayed. Even the letters add to the tone, with some sensational sounds and scene settings. I enjoyed this issue, but it's almost zero action made it a ho-hum reading experience.

The story could be skipped and two different artists in the third issue make this relaunch's status shaky. The story goes nowhere, adding nothing to the conflict between forces. The inclusion of a backstory for a supporting character doesn't add anything to this issue. Two different artists' styles do not gel well. The colors are fine, but the letters have awkward moments. Three issues in and this happening? Extremely disappointing. Will Red Sonja do anything worthy of her past incarnations in this series?

If this series doesn't improve next issue, I'll be walking away. I want Sonja involved in action, which this has series sorely lacks, the end to flashbacks which are almost as annoying as those on Arrow, and one single artist illustrating this book to make it look unified. I love Red Sonja and this book is becoming painful to read. I had such high hopes for this relaunch.

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.

Best of adventures to you, Sonja. I'll be back when there's a change in writers.

This is not worth $4.99 for a better than average story with middling visuals. Disappointing.

Only for the hard core fans, and even then you might be wincing as I was. New story direction and new art is needed for this title.

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.

An awkward looking lead in a story anyone could write. Just average.

A decent premise is undercut by art that seems printed incorrectly. The idea is fun, though its delivery is average. The art looks misprinted, being too small, with colors too dark and lettering that's the smallest of any comic currently published. I'll go another issue, but if the visuals are just as tiny, I'll be looking for four colored thrills elsewhere.

I think I'm done with this series. The story is predictable and the visuals are difficult to see at times. I could have used my money for the first two issues to purchase a novel. I wanted to have a fun tale of vampires loose in the ESB and I wanted thrilling visuals. I'm not getting that. Disappointing.

I'd pass on Nublood. It's telling when the back-up reprint was the high point.

I'm a huge fan of George Mann, and he was the reason I picked up this book and tracked down the issue before it. I'm going to read the next two issues, I can't stop halfway through. However, I was disappointed in this, but I'm hoping that the conclusion will impress.

This Rebirth left me unsatisfied. The story is nothing but questions, with the biggest being What in this book compels me to buy the monthly? Nothing.The visuals are fine, but I'm seeing nothing that's recalling the book's visual glory days from over two decades ago. I'll eyeball the first regular issue, but if the visuals don't impress, I'll be passing on this series.

The story goes in an interesting direction, though the visuals are disappointing. I'll check out the next issue, but if the visuals are the same, this will probably be the only issue I purchase.

A fun romp and a nice set-up for Threshold.

No. No. No. A waste of trees, time, and your money.

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.

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

This is the Army of Darkness comics fans want and Tenorio's addition has made it a reality.

Two issues into this saga, and I'm completely engrossed. Horror, comedy, thrills, Ash, and deadites combine to make this a fantastically entertaining series.

An excellent closer to this series that all fans of Army of Darkness will want to purchase because of the event on Page 20. Funny, scary, and romantic–This book has it all!

Again, a great idea but unnecessary for a book. For completists only.

I'll not be buying any other issues. I didn't care for the story, but the art was pretty. I want over the top humor or a deadly serious tale, not this poor pastiche.

This is a bizarre story from Chris Ryall and Sam Keith, with Ryall providing the wordage. It's perfectly appropriate for a Mars Attacks story.

A nice artistic experiment that's unsuccessful as entertainment.

This is the set up and next issue will begin the action for this bridge between the two films. A good read even if you haven't seen the films.

The art is so dark it considerably hinders any enjoyment the story can provide. Very disappointing.

I can't continue to follow this book with these visuals. This could have been so much better.

I'm so impressed that Aspen is releasing so many titles' first issues for only a dollar. It's a great way to get people, like me, to try out their line of books. That said, I'm glad I tried this, but I'm not coming back. The story didn't do anything for me and the art wasn't consistent.

I'd skip this Ash adventure.

This horrific tale is undercut by some disappointing visuals. I really wanted to like this, but the art was not for me. I'll go one more issue, but if it looks the same I'm out

I'll give this one more issue. I'm not feeling impressed by the story or visuals.

A slight improvement in story, but a slide in visuals. I'll go one more, but if it doesn't click, I'm out.

A good taste of what's to come when the series begins. The story is good and the art is serviceable. I'm a big fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs's science fiction characters and with Chu charting Dejah's path I'm on board for this ride.

The visuals are a deal breaker on this book. The story is good, the colors and letters fine, but the art relies too heavily on photographic insertion, leading to a bad 1950s sci-fi film feel. This is a shame, because Dejah has been handled so well in years past by Dynamite, but this is simply not doing this beloved princess justice.

The visuals are killing my enjoyment of this book. It's only my faith in Paul Levitz that has me returning next month. I'm hoping for more Fate and less setup.

Now that's it over, I wish I'd passed on this. The entire Legion wasn't necessary for the end result and I didn'tfind myself caring for this Justice League. For die hard fans only.

A huge departure in story and art from previous Magnus incarnations has this often stumbling. I'll give this one more issue, but if it's more of the same, I'm out.

If I had to do over, I would have passed on this book and enjoyed his appearances on Robot Chicken.

Terrific visuals,with an unfunnystory. I'll give the next issue a read in my store next month before purchasing it.

There's not much action, but the dialogue is delicious. This issue is still setting the stage for the Skull's triumphantrevealto Battleworld, and I want to see what happens. Sadly, the art and coloring drop this issue considerably from the story's heights. Good to read, sad to look at it.

A good introduction to one of Zenescope's lead characters, but an undefined villain and average visuals undercut its anniversary status.

I grew up during the explosion of comic book movie adaptations during the eighties. Books came out the week the film opened or shortly thereafter. This adaptation is six months after the film, so there was more than enough time to create a quality adaptation. This is not. 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. This is why fans cry corporation money grab. Unbelievably disappointing. For the hardcore or rich only.

A visually average outting with a so-so story that will be redacted in no time. For $3.99 an issue, this is too expensive for me to continue with this story/team. I tried it and am passing.

The art is better than the stories, so you've been forewarned. This is a pricey pick up at $7.99. You'd be much better off reading the monthly series than this book.

Terrific story with disappointing art. This is quite the shame because the story was so well executed.

Worth picking up for the new scenes. The visuals could be better, but are a marked improvement over The Force Awakens adaptation.

This is a cash grab and not a competent comic. Only for completists. Painful to endure.

This continues to be one of the worst adaptations of a Star Wars film due to the visuals. If this were not based on a film, this comic would die a quiet death. Only for hard core collectors.

A change in artists brings a vast improvement in this series, with this being the strongest issue yet.

The final battle has begun as Rogue One has reached Scarif. This book would have been better had the art been more consistent and contained some sounds. Only for completists of the Star Wars saga.

An enjoyable first issue that's a fine introduction for new fans that maintains enough familiar elements to please faithful followers. It will take a while for me to get used to the changes in the story, but this was fun. The visuals are good, with the majority of characters resembling their television personas and the action being solid.

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. There's also a lot characters being thrown at the reader right away, with teases of what they are capable of. The visuals are good, with my favorite character still not looking like herself. I want more, but my expectations aren't high.

I'm liking the artwork, but am not feeling the joy from much else. The story seems to be rushing characters into familiar niches and the colors and letters aren't strong enough. I'm a huge Buffy fan and will see this introductory arc through to the end, but this rebooting from BOOM! could be my only foray following this new Slayer.

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.

A good beginning, but nothing exceptional. If you enjoyed The Spectrum War, you'll enjoy this. If you're a fan of Trek or the lanterns, you'll enjoy this. If you're not a fan, this will be an average comic.

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.

An epic story with strong visuals make this a solid read. Trekkers and Lantern fans should be satisfied with this.

A disappointing conclusion and shaky visuals make this a letdown. I expect better from this publisher. This should only be purchased by completists.

This relaunch is not going smoothly. The story lacks tension and the visuals are not strong. I love Red Sonja, but, so far, not this Red Sonja. This is quite a shocking issue, given Dynamite's previous Sonja titles.

Please reboot this reboot, Dynamite. This is not how to produce a Red Sonja book.

This title has grown impressively since it's first issue. The story is exciting, surprising, and clever, while the visuals match its epic scale. This is a title to follow.

The art's the weakest part of the book, which is a deal closer for many in a comic, but the rest is good. The story has me hooked enough to want to continue.

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 what's selling this book for me, since the art is running hot and cold. If you're a Star Wars fan you'll get your money's worth. Not a fan? Then you should probably skip.

Fine story with okay visuals. I do look forward to seeing how this will all conclude.

The series ends well, though I didn't care for the art. Star Wars fans should be satisfied, though those new to the comic adventures of Lucas' creations could do better, visually, in other Dark Horse originals.

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.

This book brilliantly shows how Vader inspires terror among the Imperials. The story is extreme, the action massive and surprising, and the ending fantastic. The visuals are striking for the horror and unbelievable situations created. This is a fantastic, frenzied tale.

No deadites, only one monster, but a build up that got me interested, so now I have to see how this will play out.

The story outshines the art, but still a fun comic to read. I'm a sucker for Bruce Campbell, so if a writer can capture his sarcasm I'm easily won over.

Okay, this was setting up a larger story, but by itself I was disappointed.

Fun story, terrible art. If I can't look at it, why would I read it, let alone buy it?

When I read a new comic I want to have a fun story with good art. This book is retro-fun! I'll be coming back for more.

I had to work to get my fun out of this book in the first story. My eyes are bad enough, I don't want to strain my vision to see a comic book. The second story was much easier to see, and was much more enjoyable.

The stories are fantastic, but the art and especially the coloring are hindering this book from breaking out from the indies racks. The second story fan outshines the first. A back-up story should never do that.

I want desperately to love this book, but it's too dark! C'mon, Red 5 Coimcs! Come into the light!

I loved the story of Tesla and his band, but the colors continually hampered my enjoyment. The back ups are fun, but really short.

The art is terrific, but the story is utterly unsurprising. There's no reason to purchase this book if one is vaguely familiar with any incarnation of the characters. It looks great, but that's not reason enough to buy a book. I'm hoping the story begins in the first issue of the monthly.

The story hits all its marks and the visuals are superb in this opening issue. This JLA is one to follow.

The story treads familiar and incredulous territory and the art suffers in several places. If this doesn't improve with the next issue, I'll be done with this Justice League.

I wouldn't buya book again from this team, and the $3.99 cover price guarantees it. Not worth the price.

You'd think as an English teacher for 21 years I'd learned not to judge a book by its cover, but I never thought that it would apply to a comic book. This is a funny, gorgeous, awesome comic. Look beyond the cover and you'll find a perfect interior.

A decent collection of what are essentially What If? Halloween tales. Some are better written, illustrated, and colored than others, but that's always the case with a collection of short stories. There's sure to be something in this for every Marvel fan, with the final two being ones that could support their own limited series. An okay read, albeit an expensive one.

Entertaining, but not a “Wow” book. This is setting things in place for the monthly adventures, obviously, but if the visuals are this dark because of the colors I won't be purchasing them.

I'm liking the story, but not enjoying the visuals.

A super action sequence can't overcome a convenient reveal and art that looks four decades old. I'm going to see this to end because the story does have some merit.

A fun read with average to poor visuals. I expect better, Titan.

An okay first issue, though I'm not really sure about all that's going on. Interesting, but questionable if I'm going to purchase another issue. It takes a hit because of the art.

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. The art is really hurt by the too dark colors, rendering several panels and pages muddied. I enjoyed this, but I know I would have liked it better had the story been tighter and the colors brighter.

A great story slips and slides in its storytelling due to the artwork. For a cover price of $5.99 I expect stronger, consistent visuals. Still, the story was enjoyablesoI'll return to see how this plays out in its concluding chapter.

I can't raise the grade of this book too high because of the visuals; if they had been stronger this would have been a much more enjoyable experience. As this stands, this is an okay book, but for $5.99 I expect much better.

In a short story collection, I expect some installments to be better than others, but all of these were just average. The visuals were also just average. Nothing in this really stood out as outstanding. I'll skim the next issue when it comes out to decide if I'll purchase it. If it reads or looks like this premiere, I'm one and done with the new Marvel Comics Presents.

To quote Doctor Smith, “Oh, the pain. The pain.” A wrong turn for a great character that I want to see corrected. If you're a fan, you're in for disappointment.

I'm not thrilled with this Phantom so far, but I'm hoping the tease of that final pair of pages leads to him quickly losing the power he must answer to.

Okay, I'll go another issue after this, but I'm far more interested in his family more than his so-called adventures.

If you're a Sonja completest, here you go. If you're a casual Sonja reader or this is your first time with red, you'd be better served reading an issue of the ongoing monthly series written by Gail Simone.

The coloring is bringing this book down tremendously. This is a fantastic read and I want it to be more easily seen.

Before buying the next issue I'll thumb through it because I wasn't wowed by this story or art. Too many characters left unexplained in the opening issue doesn't help and visuals that go from awesome to awkward create inconsistent art. I want to like this title, but I have a feeling I'll be more satisfied if I dig through my back issues for Jerry Ordway's take on this character.

Stronger art would make this a better book, but it's still worth checking out. I plan on purchasing every issue.

An average outing that will only please hardcore Zenescope fans. I expect better for $5.99.

I don't know how a reader could enjoy this without reading all of the previous chapters in Spider-Verse. This was a poor way to start a new series and leaves me on the fence as to whether I'll pick up the next issue.

A nice change of pace story without any of the leads featuring heavily. I'd love to see more of Ray.

A fun story with beautiful visuals that will make Star Wars fans cheer. I want to see more from these contributors and more of Pash.

An average story with terrible visuals. Only for Star Wars completists. Any other current SW comics would be a better purchase than this $4.99 outing.

One artist's contributions ruin this incredibly fun tale involving Sana, Luke, and Darth Vader. I wish that Marvel had taken the time for one artist to illustrate the entire book, rather than having three different illustrators, with one who is not ready to be published. The issue is worth picking up because the story is incredibly clever and the characters are fun, but one third of the book looks awful. So disappointing!

A “Must Buy” Star Wars comic that features the backstory of Black Krrsantan. The story is fun, showing an aspect of the Star Wars Universe not often explored, and the visuals are incredibly lush. I would repurchase this in hardcover in a heartbeat.

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. I'm a hard core Star Wars fan and I don't know if I'll make it all the way through this series, based on this premiere.

A big improvement over the previous issue that has me looking forward to the next installment. I am really enjoying Cere, with her being an excellent diplomat and a terrific fighter. I love En-Threelo and how he survives this series. The art is much better, giving the story a stronger punch. There some issues with the colors, but the letters are tad better. I want to read more about Cere!

A lot of fighting leads to a surprising return. The story is definitely on a roll, though the visuals could be so much better with a bit more detail in the art and more variety in colors. I'm not planning on playing the videogame, but I am planning on seeing this story reach its conclusion.

A decent outing, but I expect more of a Hammer related comic. The story is good, but the visuals have got to be consistent.

I didn't care for most of the heroes, and having the book colored so darkly sucked any enjoyment I might have had out. I expected a more enjoyable experience. I don't know if I'll be returning for the remainder of the run.

Though I wasn't too thrilled by the art, I'm definitely going to see this adventure through to the end. The story has me intrigued and the action was cool enough to warrant another visit.

With these visuals I don't see how fans of Lara Croft would pick this title up.

You'd be better off picking up a copy of Danger Girl or any reprint of The Further Adventures of Indiana Jones than looking for actionin this book. Disappointingly average.

A terrific story brought down by the art.

A fun, original romp through a classic sci-fi setting. Worth checking out.

Average story and art make for an average adventure.

Buy this and love it! This is a gift from above in every way!

I disliked the story, but liked all else.

The invasion has begun! The Process will be increased a thousand fold! The question isn't how will Dejah survive, but why aren't you in on all this fun?

I expect better.

I just want this to end.

Solid story with some better than usual visuals make this a good addition to Dejah's tales.

Fun in the future on faraway Barsoom. This is a terrific issue for anyone to see what Dejah was doing before John Carter entered her life.

What a disappointment. Only from those craving stories from Barsoom.

Another excellent addition to Dynamite's fantastic adventures of Barsoom's favorite princess. Worth checking out.

This series closes out on a whimper, rather than a bang.

Decent. Some things are fun, others rote, while others overblown and unnecessary. I'll go one more issue, but not any more if it's going to be $3.99.

Issue #1 was $4.99. This issue was $3.99. I feel like I was swindled. This is how I felt after seeing Avatar: the experience was too expensive for pretty visuals and a padded story. I don't want to pay for pretty. I'm done buying this series.

A good entry point for any reader with a unique character being the focus. This encourages me to continue with this series.

A decent story with poor visuals that wouldkeep one from going down the rabbit hole.

The final page hurts the issue, as does average art. Still, I've enjoyed this series for some time, and will back next month.

A solid story undone by mixed visuals. I'm hopeful a new artist arrives on this book soon.

An intense story is undone by inconsistent art. I really want the art of this book to be the equal of the story.

Stronger visuals are needed to make this a stronger book. The story is entertaining but is often disrupted by awkward art.

Loving the story, not liking the visuals. This would be an outstanding title if the right artist were found.

The visuals aren't at the same level as the story, but this is still worth checking out. Witness a hero being dragged down. Hopefully she'll get back up next month.

An excellent character study brought down by poor visuals. This is the type of book that makes me crazy! It could have been a classic had the art matched the story.

A change of artists is for the better as the power of Wonderland is finally on display. The March Hare is running amok and Calie has to stop him. A twisted tale that is wonderfully mad.

I love this series, but this isn't a strong outing. I'll definitely be back next month, but my fingers are crossed for a better illustrator.

This issue gives John Mayer's “Your Body Is A Wonderland” a terrific twist. Without question, this is the best issue of this series in quite a while. Though beware, this is not for children! Creepy and cool with great visuals.

A delicious tale of horror and insanity as two characters from Wonderland bring their unique brand of terror. A highly enjoyable read that has me dreading the void this series will leave after concluding with Issue #50.

This is the final battle before returning to Wonderland, and it's a good one. A good villain wounds one of the heroes, who's strength might be needed in the struggle against the Ace of Spades. A good, creepy read, which may be the calm before the storm.

A powerful conclusion with art that does not rise to the occasion. Worth reading if one has been following the saga of Calie Liddle, with one more installment to come in the form of a separate Epilogue.

The story could have gone longer, but this is a pin-up collection. The pin-ups feature practically every female fury in Zenescope's line, so there is something for everyone here. The images range from good to average, so the price does seem a little steep for this quality. Truly for the hard core Zenescope fan only.

A great short story and plenty of pin-ups to make your summer sizzle. I really enjoyed the Thumbelina tale and I'm left wanting to see more of her, hopefully by the same creators! The pin-ups feature Zenescope's best characters and best artists. This is a one-shot to find.

Nice to see the remaining heroes together on a mission. This does get me excited about the next film, though I'm keeping my hopes low after Episode VII. This book's story is good, the characters are fun, and the visuals great. I'm looking forward to more of this tale.

Politics and muted visuals make for a disappointing comic book. The story is logical in what occurs, but not exciting. Ren and Finn create the most enjoyment in this issue. I'm hoping the characters leave Mon Cala quickly and go someplace more interesting and drawn better.

A predictable installment with some fun visuals makes this an adequate read. I'm not thrilled with the story, but it will feed my constant need for new Star Wars tales. I'm hoping there's a bigger twist in both stories in the next issue. The visuals are good, though an alien race that features strongly in one tale looks odd. Still, some Star Wars is better than no Star Wars.

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 interesting story with visuals too dark to see. I expected better. This won't last long looking like this.

A big improvement from the first issue and leaves me wanting more now. The anti-hero is alive and well with Klarion.

A fan favorite foe appears to cause trouble, though the colors make the book hard to see. This was a decent read, with the story being good scary stuff for young readers, and the art full of several frights. Unfortunately the colors are not great, making several panels difficult to discern. Not a bad read, but not a great one.

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. The visuals by Jones and Madsen are the reason to pick this up, and they make the monster look tremendous. I'm really not liking Francavilla's contributions, which look rushed. If you're a Star Wars fan, you should enjoy this.

Asajj Ventress encounters a foe that even she cannot defeat. Great story for readers of any age and fun art that shows the horror of the situation without being too much for the youngest reader. I just wanted the colors to be stronger. Still, a solid pick up for any Star Wars fan.

Vader is the centerpiece of this conclusion as forces overwhelm him. The story is fun, but the visuals are horrifically mixed. I won't be picking up any sequels if Francavilla returns to pencil the interiors, they look so bad. I would welcome more work by Wilson any time. This is intended for young Star Wars readers, but I doubt this would make them fans of the franchise.

This does not come anywhere near the hype, with a simple story and average visuals. I expected so much better.

An improvement over last issue, but still not the caliber of a mega-series. I'm hopeful the improvements continue.

Pass on this. It's average in practically every way.

I enjoyed the big group's adventures, but was bored by Grayson's scenes.

This was the best issue so far, with one character picking up a fallen hero's identity, while several characters meet their fates. The multiverses are finally converging.

The best issue yet! This is what I wanted this series to be! My hopes are very high for next week's issue!

Outside of having various characters meet up, when all is said and done, there is no reason for this series to have everhappened. I liked seeing the characters, but the wrap up to every disaster is too quick and clean.

Not one of my favorite characters, but a fun read.

An average outing that doesn't contribute much to the big storyline or to enhance any character. Just “meh”.

For a tie-in this was entertaining. If this is what the creative team can do when bowing to merchadising, I can't wait to see this title when it moves out on its own. Very promising!

Last issue was good, but this crossover was unnecessary.

If this type of quality continues, I don't want this Legion ever to get home!

The final page was a misfire that dampened my enjoyment of the book. Will I continue to read this book? Yes, I'm a Legion junkie. “Hello, my name is Patrick…” But, Tom…C'mon, man!

This is a setting up the pieces issue that's designed to get the plot going for several issues. I'm just not thrilled with some of it.

I'll give this book one more issue. The story is like having a loved one on life support who's hallucinating they're someone else. If it's more of the same next month, I'll pull the plug.

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!

I'm glad it's over. This was a flawed concept from the beginning: take a group of space heroes from the future and strand them on Earth in the past. Dear DC, get them into space and have them deal justice in the stars–that's what the Legion does!

I'm interested, but have a few concerns that I hope next issue will answer.

A worthy addition to the Star Wars saga.

You could skip this issue and I doubt it would interfere with your understanding of the series.

The best issue in this series yet!

Average story with average art. Only for Star Wars diehards.

I can't ding a book too much for poor lettering, but it does hinder my enjoyment of this issue. This is a good beginning with good art and promises much to come.

An average comic that tells how the most entertaining character ofRogue One joined the Rebellion. The visuals really hurt the story. For Star Wars completists only.

This issue sets the stage for this series with promises of much to come. Luke and Aphra make a fun team and they're bound to find plenty of trouble. The visuals are top notch, to be sure. I'm looking forward to the next issue.

This is an unnecessary origin that creators like Jack Kirby, Jim Starlin or John Byrne could have covered in one page, if they had wanted to. This created no empathy for this character. A superfluous book.

An improvement and nice Vandal complication.

A few speed bumps in the art but enjoyable nonetheless.

A fun read with good to awkward art. The story is the reason to pick this book up.

A terrific conclusion that has me hoping that all involved with return to another go on the Gunmen.

A fun premiere and I want more.

An excellent story with disappointing artwork.

More enjoyable than last month's issue as the title character confronts his despair.

This is the Savage story I want to read. I only wish it could have been brighter.

Unless this issue is hugely influential with next month's story, this is a pass for even ardent Doc fans.

Good story with adequate images.

A nice adventure with some good visuals.

A good story with acceptable art.

This was a great story with adequate art. A better story read than seen.

The issue ends with a “The End” followed by a question mark. Just say NO, DC. You've made a stand out character utterly generic. This looks great but reads as far below average.

The old bait and switch on the cover. This could have been something, but instead all we're left with is a pretty cover for $3.99. Just pass.

A great start for The Darkseid War with excellent visuals. Oh, yeah. I'll be back for more.

This was fantastic. PING PING PING PING PING PING PING PING PING PING PING You want this. Highest possible recommendation.

A good read, though the main plot isn't as interesting as the character development and the art makes some odd choices.

Must reading for fans of the Justice League, DC comics, and team books. This is shaping up to be one of the best Justice League stories in years.

I can't continue to purchase a book that has visuals like this. Unbelievably disappointing. I'll look at the interiors before blindly purchasing next month.

This is what a team book should be. Excellent story and visuals, with plenty of surprises from both. If anything, the cover price is too cheap for a book like this.

Very enjoyable but $5.99 for 42 pages is too much for what's given. The final 12 pages were set ups for spin-offs and don't contribute to this saga, even for a coda. This was a story that did go on too long, but is wrapped up well. Will probably have a stronger appeal when read in one sitting without ads. Good, but pricey!

An excellent stand alone issue revealing Robin's first outing with DC's heavy hitters. It this is what's to come after Rebirth, I'm on board for the long run.

I love the focus on Lex Luthor. I love how he tries to be as good as Superman. I love that he's continuing to be the awful, arrogant character he is. I want more!

A somewhat predictable story and lackluster art hurts this mega-series' appeal. I'm this far in, so I'll see it to the end.

A strong story with average visuals creates a mixed result. However, if you're a fan of Zenescope comics, you'll want to see how this series begat a change in another prominent title.

The art and colors have to step it up to match the strength of the story. A decent beginning.

I loved the focus on Erica and her reactions to a potentially new world.

Terrific story with lackluster visuals. I'm frightened for this book's future, because a story like this should be told with better art. How about getting Bob Layton to illustrate an issue?

Heroics made under pressure are always entertaining and this is highly entertaining. This is a Gold Key character whose adventures everyone should be following.

Rodney Barnes has captured Lando in fine fashion and the trouble he puts him in is perfect. I wish the art had been a little stronger and the lettering different. This isn't a perfect Star Wars book, but will please those who want to see more of Donald Glover's version of the character. I'm looking forward to more.

A decent Star Wars outing that will fill the time while waiting for another movie. The story is okay, but the visuals do let down at times. I'm buying this out of habit, rather than joy at this point. Hopefully things improve in the next issue.

The visuals are a disservice to this story. The action in this issue is fun, but the artwork, colors, and letters are going to hurt potential readers. Disappointing.

A fantastic conclusion with some neat surprises and terrific visuals. Marvel, you should get all involved with this issue back to continue Lando's adventures. The voices of the characters are true, the action is great, and the art and colors strong. This was a fun series.

Monsters, exotic locales, terrific heroes, great dialogue, and one perfect story that fits it all together perfectly! New fan or old, you'll be a fan of Grimm with this book!

Action, adventure, mystery, Wesen, and great one liners. All that's missing is the kitchen sink! This delivers the goods!

I'm loving the story and rolling with the art. If you're a Grimm fan, you'll love this. But the art might prevent you from committing.

Okay, but I sure hope this storyline closes stronger than this chapter.

This story goes where the series can't afford to and gives Nick the opportunity to show he's got legs beyond Oregon. This Grimm is good!

The art knocked this issue down quite a bit. This could have been a classic book but instead is a major visual misfire.

A good starting for a multi-issue story. If only the art had been much better.

Sadly, just average.

The Gods will smile upon you for following this twosome as they seek vengeance on Kal'ang. Perfect entertainment for those who like their action to be from forgotten ancient times.

This is a rare misfire in story and art for Howard's characters. I hope that next issue improves in both categories.

I'm enjoying the visuals but I'm still undecided on the story. As Holmes would say, via William Shakespeare, "The game is afoot," and I plan on seeing where this criminal will go next.

A brilliantly twisted adventure with Holmes' nemesis illustrated in equally amazing artwork. This is no mystery: this is a must have. Fans of Holmes, the Victorian era, or anyone who wants a superior read, go no further. Highest possible recommendation.

A change in artists brings a sad drop in my grade, and this story deserves so much better.

The story is the strongest element of this series. I wish the visuals had matched it.

An exceptional story undone by the art. I look forward to whatever David Liss writes next.

Vader is a force to be reckoned with in this awesome finale to this series. He only speaks thirteen words in the entire issue, but the characters " and the reader " never forget the power that he wields and it's shown several times. The visuals are excellent, with me wanting to see more from Bachs in the future.

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.

A very enjoyable tale of Boba after a mark. There are several incredibly fun moments with Fett just flat out awesome. The visuals are highly detailed, making this a very lush reading experience. This would be a welcome addition to any Star Wars fan's collection. Recommended.

Bridging the gap between Episodes V and VI, this belongs in every Star Wars fan's collection. The story is exciting, touching, and fun, while the visuals are gorgeous. This issue sets the bar incredibly high for all other Age of Rebellion books that will follow! Highest possible recommendation.

This is the book that shows Tarkin to be a monster. His cruelty, his thoughts, and his past make him an outstanding villain. Five pages of the story go too far, but the rest of the story is outstanding. The visuals are perfection, making me want to see much, much more of Laming in the Star Wars Universe. This is a fantastic one-shot of the Empire in action.

Calling all Star Wars fans " you want this! Han starts out on a noble mission only to find himself drawn into helping an old friend that leads to trouble. I loved the characters, old and new, with plenty of action that makes Han and Chewie fan favorites. The visuals are superb, leaving me hoping that Sprouse and Story will be asked back for more Star Wars work. This is outstanding.

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.

A decent Lando outing is marred by the artwork. The story is a great take on a maturing scoundrel, but the visuals were practically unbearable. I'll give Marvel credit for trying new looks for the Star Wars books, but I really did not care for the art. At least this is only a one-shot.

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.

Why are the villain issues in this series so much better than the hero installments? This story is an excellent tale of Dooku doing his Master's bidding and having to improvise. The visuals are also good, with me wishing they would join with the writer on a monthly series. For those craving Sith action and intrigue, this is a delightfully dark tale for you!

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. The visuals, across the board, do not help the story. They are too simplistic, plus the colors being too dark in several instances, and the letters being disappointing at times. 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.

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. The second story is the highlight of the issue with the focus on Asajj Ventress. The final tale is a poor outing for Rex and Jar Jar. Worth picking up if one is a Star Wars fan.

This is not a great book by any definition. The story holds no tension, the art runs from good to poor, as do the colors. The strongest element of this book is the lettering. Even for die hard Star Wars fans this is tough to get through. This book could be skipped and nothing missed. Very disappointing, very average, very meh.

Another Must-Own Darth Maul tale that will thrill fans. The story has a sensational opening, teasing events hinted at in film Solo, while the action on Malachor is killer. 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!

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.

This is justification for a miniseries. I love the adventures of Jango and Boba by this team of creators and would pay big bucks for a spin-off series. The story has the characters true to their film counterparts, the new characters are enjoyable, there are several surprises, and the ending is sensational. 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!

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. I'm a big enough fan to pick all of these up, but I'm hoping to see stronger entries in this twenty-eight issue series.

A solid introductory issue to get the series started: the conflict is introduced and backstory is given on the lead protagonist. It's readable, but isn't too exciting. I'm definitely in for a second issue and will decide after that if I continue to see where this title is going. AfterShock's record is strong, so I'm encouraged.

A new character adds new tension to the story and the race has now truly begun. I like all the teases and justifications for the race stated in the story and that it didn't come off as information dumps at any time. An impressive feat from Calloway. The visuals are also good, with some impressive work done with layouts and actions. The colors add to the reality of the story and even the letters assist the visuals while telling the story. This is a great read. More, please.

The story has some issues with time and character identifications, but enough can be understood to make this a pleasant read. The visuals are good, communicating solid emotion from characters, with the colors and letters increasing the impact of each panel. I'm enjoying this series and am anxious to see the final team chosen to go into space.

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.

I've been dying for new X-Files stories. This issue has a great series of covers and a solid story, but the art undermines this. I'm onboard for this series all the way, but I want better.

Stellar story with a fantastic, overdue return, though with subpar art. I cannot fathom how these visuals would encourage the curious or new fans into dropping four dollars down. Heartbreaking.

Fantastic story undone by horrible art. For the hard core fan only.

I love the story and dislike the art. Not a good combo.

Good story but worst art of any franchise comic I've ever read.

This is The X-Files I know and I'm so happy to have it. Get this before the government redacts it.

This is the best issue of this series. If you have a fleeting memory of the show, this will renew your faith in new adventures. Never read an X-Files? I don't know if you're ready for this, but here it is…The Chittering God doesn't ask for anything, but I do: Get this! Highest possible recommendation.

Absolutely entertaining and frightening. Human conundrums are always engaging.

Great story and visuals shown through a filter that sucks away any life, like a fluke man was stuck to it.

This is The X-Files at its best. I loved this. Get a copy before they disappear.

An excellent conclusion with Frank Black back! Time to go to my local comic book store and sign up for the new Millennium comic book that's coming out soon.

A fantastic tale of what happens when one is forgotten. I hope Reyes and Doggett return for more X-Files.

The only reason you haven't read this is because the government doesn't want you to know the truth. The truth is that this is perfect entry point to one of the best written series on the market. The truth is in here. Highest possible recommendation.

This is shaping up to be a sensational season finale. A dream come true for X-Files fans. Highest possible recommendation.

Agents Harris, Smith, Bellaire, and Mowry do a spectacular job in creating thrills with these iconic characters. Recommended.

A fun romp for Liesel Van Helsing with the promise of more to come. I would have been more willing to pay more to get a conclusion, but my hopes are high that Wohl will get to continue the story soon.

The final reveal took all the joy out of the story, but it is beautifully drawn. I have to give it a low grade because of the closingpayoff.

I was pleasantly surprised by the story, but wished the art had been more consistent. If you'd like to read a different, darker take on Cinderella, this is for you.

Stronger art would have helped, but the story is an enjoyable take on this Poe masterpiece.

A scary story is scuttled by average visuals. This could have been a classic. Still worth checking out if you like creepy twists.

Another instance of the visuals not at the same level as the story. A twisty tale unravels from average art. If you're a fan of horror, I'd still give it a shot due to the story.

Impressive scares with a good twist, told with excellent visuals. This is another series that I'm going to have to track down all the previous issues.

Stories like this are keeping horrorcomics alive. Absolute fun.

Average visuals hurt a story that could have been sensational. This will fill your need for a tale of terror, but it won't be one you remember.

A fun story takes a classic myth a moves up to new horrific levels. The art is just a smidge better than average. A decent scare story if they're to your liking.

The premise is established and the heroes are shown in action, so let the fun begin! I like these characters, I like the twists on the final pages, and the visuals are fine. Brighter colors would improve the art. It's got everything you want in a comic, with some very engaging heroes.

A surprisingly average Zenescope book. I'm enjoying what's going on with the characters, but these visuals really need to step up. A change in coloring would help immensely.

The best issue yet in this series! Surprises from heroes abound with two terrific action sequences. I like how the plot is progressing, the heroes are growing (or falling apart) as a team, and the chief antagonist is losing his patience. All this, plus Skye and Shang waiting in the wings. The visuals on this issue were great, showing terrific action sequences and outstanding characters emoting. This is a great comic! Recommended.

The team recognizes what side they're fighting on just as epic trouble arrives. A fun story with some solid art, though the coloring does make looking at the artwork difficult at times. I'm enjoying this team and want to read more of their exploits.

A good introduction to these characters and their galaxy. I look forward to seeing the “push back.”

I love Star Wars, but I'm only just liking this, so far.

Okay, but still has yet to “wow” me like Marvel did, and Dark Horse does in their other Star Wars titles.

The Force has returned to the original timeline, and it's fun!

TheForce has returned to the beginning of the saga!

Pretty to look at but a chore to read.

I'm enjoying 9 pages out of 22. That's not a good average.

A big improvement over last issue! This is what Star Warsshould be!

Good, but story and art elements make this not fantastic.

Could have been epic, but its lack of sound destroys its perfection.

The best issue yet and a must-own for every Star Wars fan.

A great story, eventually, with mixed art. This series frustrates me so much, I'm not going to be too upset when it goes to Disney.

If you're a long time Star Wars fan, I can't see how you'd rave over this issue.

This is a prelude to more exciting things that will happen next month. It's okay, but not fantastic.

A solid Star Wars comic that was very enjoyable to read.

A decent conclusion to this series.

Only for the hard core Star Wars fans. If you pass on this, you're not missing anything.

The story and the art were never strong enough to last more than one issue. I'm sad to see Star Wars leave Dark Horse and end this way.

The story could have sped up and the art be more consistent. I'll continue to read this book because I love the character, but I've got to see some improvement to continue buying it.

A familiar story and adequate art make this just passable. It's only Issue #7 and this is the best that can be mustered for Supergirl? Disappointing.

More Emerald Empress and stronger art would have helped his fun story considerably. A tease to whet Legion fans' thirst for an ongoing title coupled with a great reason for the super powered cousins to meet makes this a good read, but an average visual experience.

A competent hero comic, with an outstanding story strand revisited. If only the art had been stronger throughout. Still, if one is a fan of certain super team of the future, there's a thread of a future battle hinted at.

The Fatal Five continues to grow, while Supergirl and her friends are trapped in the Phantom Zone. A fun read, with the story showing how one can be a hero without super powers.

Wow! DC has another hit on their hands! This packs so much story and so much art into one issue, the cover price should be much, much more for what's given. I eagerly await seeing more adventures of these two heroes.

A lot of build up for the punches coming next issue. A decent installment, but nothing that will be memorable for readers in a year.

The final line: A great conclusion with every character getting a moment. If this is the way all Superwoman stories will go, this character will gain quite the following. A great story and a visual feast.

Lana's journey would have been more satisfactory had she not had to rely on Superman. The visuals have a few speed bumps, but they look better than most books. This is a decent read, but really could have been something with a stronger, more independent lead.
