This book by far, resonated with me in ways that, satisfied my love of comics and love of seeing positive portrayals of people of color. The story and dialogue by Jewels, is funny, relatable, and conscious. The art by Jewels, is vibrant and I have never seen an artist make the most of every panel, like she does, as in like your favorite movie, the best jokes are hidden in the scene. Overall, an excellent book, for anyone who loves comics like Love and Rockets, television shows like The Boondocks and movies like Get Out.

Overall, the strongest of four volumes I have reviewed, as this delivers, as all penultimate installments should. The payoff is immense. The story by Jewels, definitely brings everything full circle, as her main character more than proves she is the revolution. The art by Ronald Nelson is electric and reels the reader right in. Altogether, the strongest volume yet, as the main characters knowledge of self, is what prepares her for war.

The art by Youri Jiguonovharkens back to a time when sequential art was trying to find its place between realistic and cartoonish.

Staples definitely has done a great job here, as I am so used to her work on Saga,that I feel like I am cheating on Saga with her on this book but you can tell for her, it is a love for these characters that ring true in her illustrations.

Overall, a story that affected me in the heartfelt of ways, as living in todays climate, and being the son of immigrants, I hope and have been taught to be empathetic to those less fortunate, but as the book shows me, there is definite room for improvement. The story by Craig Thompson is masterfully told, meticulously detailed, and well-researched in Islam and Third world culture. The art by Craig Thompson is too much for words, as his sequential art is both beautiful and surreal, as there are times when it feels like a dream. Altogether, a book that proves necessary reading when love for your fellow man has become a rarity.

Overall, an excellent book, which gives the reader the many different experiences of everyone who is involved, not only the refugees but also the people who run these camps. The stories by Evans are told in a way which you not only understand their plights but feel as though you may not be able to live a day in any of their shoes. The art by Evans is a cross between realistic and paste art, which give sit a first person feel. Altogether, a powerful book that gives the reader a better understanding of what a refugee has to go through.

Overall, it reminds of those old 50s pulp movies, that makes you wonder who really is the most devious character in the story. The story by Chaffee follow some familiar tropes for story structure but bends them at right times to create something fresh. The art by Chaffee presents facial expressions at the very best I have seen. Altogether, an excellent story that shows you the thin line between love and hate gets razor sharp when it comes to crime and money.

This reinterpretation is a revelation, as it is both fun and has enough of a foot within the original story to be recognizable, which makes this a solid series thus far. The story by Mairghread Scott is very well researched in Celtic mythology and delivers a concise narrative. The art by Kelly and Nichole Matthews is vibrant, as their character designs especially when it comes to Smertae, Riata, and Cait, shows their attention to detail, as this detail also lends itself to the beautiful backgrounds. Overall, an excellent story, which although I know what will ultimately happen, it still will be exciting to read what happens next.

The art by Valdeci Nogueria, is fun and reminds me of Mike Judges cartoon style, but feels refreshingly new under Nogueira's art style. Altogether, much like the rest of the world, this is what "normalization," looks like, this is the type of superhero comic book the world needs.

The story by Micah Cox does something totally left field of what would a regular big bad fight, to something more introspective but keeps the fun. The art by Mel Joy San Juan is masterful and captures these characters in the best light. Altogether, a fun issue that raises a lot of questions and which this reviewer cant wait to keep pulling on this string to find those answers.

Overall, Wastelanders: Wolverine #1 is an exciting first chapter to Logans adventures in the Wastelands. The story by DeKnight is wall to wall action. The art by the creative team is amazing. Altogether, a story that will have readers rooting for Logan to be the last man standing in the Wastelands.

A Million Ways to Die Hard #1 |
Dec 16, 2018
show
|
|
Overall, the graphic novel is a serviceable story which continues the series. It's one which could be a little longer and could use stronger story development. The story by Tieri is action packed and funny but at times tries too hard to be both. The art by Texeira and Adrian Crossa is rich and elegant. Altogether, it's a story very much in the spirit of the original but ultimately falls short of what it could have been.

Overall, G.I. Joe: Castle Fall is a fun story that doesnt quite excite, but for longtime fans does satisfy.The story by Paul Allor is adequate. The art by the creative team is the shining gem of this book. Altogether, it plays out like an episode, that you see coming a mile away, unlike The Vault.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker OGN |
Mar 05, 2021
show
|
|
By the storys end, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is an adequate bookend to a ho-hum trilogy. The story by Ferrari gives a satisfactory end sticking to what we know. The art by Ferrari is gorgeous though. Altogether, this adaptation doesnt improve on what seems to be a money grab of a film.

|
Overall, Black Cotton #1 is a satisfying start that looks to say a lot. Hopefully, it gets its footing in the second issue. The story by Patrick Foreman and Brian Hawkins is bold and revolutionary. The art by Marco Perugini is adequate. Altogether, Black Cotton is a story that shows promise but is hard to say right now if it can fulfill it.

Doctor Who: The Eighth Doctor #1 |
Nov 03, 2015
show
|
|
Overall, an interesting premise which captures the essence of Paul McGanns portrayal of the Doctor, but it does come off flat for a debut. The story by George Mann seems hurried, as though he felt a need to capture the quirks of the other Doctors to make him more interesting. The art by Emma Vieceli, seems to be the bright spot on this story, as they bring the 8Th Doctor in a new light. Altogether, I believe this miniseries has promise, none of which reveals itself in the first issue.

Overall, Midnight Suns #1 is a fun issue but somewhat predictable. The story by Sacks is serviceable. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, it's a fine team up but not one which I can exactly say I am compelled to continue.

Overall, Sentry #1 is an exciting debut which is a potboiler with superheroes. The story by Loo is action packed. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a story that will absolutely renew interest in the character before his big screen debut.

Overall, Star Wars: Revelations #1 is a muddled mess of an issue. The story by Guggenheim is action packed but looks to do too much in one issue. It teases what's to come at the detriment of entertainment. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, Star Wars: Revelations #1 is an issue that doesn't quite live up to its ambition and mission.

The 99: Sacrifice #1 |

Overall, this feels like the "After School Special" of the series, which can be good, but this team has told better stories. Stuart Moore and Fabian Nicieza feels seral in this book, which is not exemplary of the series. The art by the different artists is the one consistency from the rest of the series that is in this volume. Altogether, the series has done better than this volume, skip this one and find the rest.

The Shadow of a Man #1 |
Apr 11, 2021

|
The Shadow Of A Man is a disjointed tale that feels as though as it loses a lot in translation. The story by Benoit Peeters is lucid yet endearing. The art by Francois Schuiten is utterly beautiful. Altogether, it's a story that feels like a connection of dreams that the reader can barely keep up with.

Adams, certainly pulls some of the most interesting parts of book into his adaptation, but it still feels as though it missing a huge amount of material. Torres art is at times, sublime, but at other times, very ample for this adaptation. Adams and Torres, have put together a passable adaptation, which tackles themes that are not only universal but timeless. Overall, you should read this adaptation to understand the popular mindset of the 50s but watch the movie or better yet, read the book, to understand Mathiesons intentions.

Overall, the book seems to a bit stereotypical and dated despite its publication date. The story by Gustavo Alberto Garcia Vaca is funny but contains a ton of overused story tropes. The art by Kenny Keil is the best part of the book. Altogether, I would tell readers to borrow it, as the issue isn't worth the price of admission.

Overall, I hope the second issue, will improve upon the concept laid here, which is magnificent, as it it leaves much to be desired in its execution. The art, is adequate at best. The story, is off to a weak start, but shows promise towards the end. Altogether, I will give this series a few more reads, but if it hopes to get the masses intrigued in the upcoming show, they will have to vastly improve on what they started.

Overall, an interesting attempt at the buddy cop genre. The story by Ricky Eaddy is average at best, as he goes straight for the joke, and tells none of the story. The art by Eaddy and Dennis Nancarrow complements the story. Altogether, there are better cop stories in comics,and this is far from one of the best.
