The Wicked + The Divine: 1923 #1

Feb 7, 2018

Though the art is strong and beautiful as usual, this was a complete disappointment for me. I would have much rather have seen this fully drawn out and longer than the typical issue than what was given.

Mage: The Hero Denied #3

Oct 18, 2017

This didn't really have it for me although the writing and art were appealing. Apparently this series has been around for a long while but as a newcomer, I just wasn't fully into it.

VS #1

Feb 7, 2018

Although this series reminded me of some elements of Images Low, I wasn't all that impressed or swept up into this debut. The art is definitely nice but I'm hoping future issues of the series will leave a better impression.

Rat Queens (2017) #7

Jan 3, 2018

Once again I feel the story is both missing pieces and also accelerating further from events before the reboot. Combine that with general confusion of what's going on in general and the lack of psychological edge this series used to possess. I am hoping that these, (what I am hoping to be), filler issues before the true plot is revealed will lead readers to something worth sticking to.

The Gravediggers Union #1

Nov 1, 2017

Im holding out hope for this series though because theres a black lead character, hints of past traumatic events, and perhaps when the witches show up Ill have a completely different opinion of the series. The first issue could have been a whole lot better regarding plot but serves its purpose of properly introducing the readers to the setting.

The Gravediggers Union #2

Dec 6, 2017

I think this series should keep more moments with Morgan more often or try to create the same tone in the main storyline to stay appealing in 2018.

The Gravediggers Union #3

Jan 3, 2018

The reason I stick around definitely is for the development of what most likely will be the antagonist. I believe I've even said in a previous review that the daughter of the protagonist has a much better storyline than that main one. Issue #3 only helps my case rather than dismisses it and I really really hope they decide to give her more page time going forward.

Glitterbomb #4

Dec 27, 2017

Glitterbomb: The Fame Game certainly was an interesting read up until this point. Theres loose ends and a rushed confrontation that doesnt quite add up o the drama and horror of the earlier issues. Hopefully 2018 gives readers an opportunity to revisit this series and continue where we were abruptly dropped off.

Trinity (2016) #14

Oct 18, 2017

This issue doesnt appear to be one to ignore in the Trinity series with betrayals, blood, and interesting storylines to keep fans intrigued. Definitely makes the series worth checking out overall and the next issue promises an, (hopefully satisfying), end to this arc.

Trinity (2016) #15

Nov 15, 2017

Although this was a fun ride to get to the end of this arc, Trinity misses the mark on an original ending to such a strong, mythological concept.

Dark Fang #1

Nov 15, 2017

The art was slightly cartoonish for an action horror series and had moments of what Im sure was unintentional comedy. Most of the violence was hard to take seriously however the emotions Valla experiences are believable as she adjusts to life on the surface once more. Slow at times, but also full of social commentary Dark Fang is not completely passable. Ill hold out on being too harsh on this series since Im aware of the message this art form is trying to convey. Make next issue will be a bit clearer and less monologue-ish.

Injustice 2 #12

Oct 18, 2017

The comics are much further than the video game adaptations and this has been on my must read list for quite some time. This issue shouldn't be missed by fans but I urge newcomers to start at the beginning otherwise this will be extremely confusing.

Injustice 2 #13

Nov 1, 2017

An exciting, action packed issue is found within the pages as Kara begins to learn more about the world around her and beyond her place in Kahndaq. Nightwings emotional and physical pain resonates within Kara and she taps into her powers to save innocent townsfolk. The focus being on three members of the cast made this issue all the more understandable and approachable to newcomers to the Injustice comic series.

Sacred Creatures #4

Oct 11, 2017

This issue was definitely an interesting read, with a retelling of the events leading to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Issue #4 keeps up with the common theme in fantasy that even powerful supernatural beings can make the most human of choices. And those choices could have deadly consequences. Definitely a must have for fans of the series and a recommended read for fans of The Mortal Instruments series.

Sacred Creatures #5

Nov 30, 2017

Claire is an intriguing villain throughout the issue as she kills, harms, and possesses people without even breaking a sweat and I now notice that character Karen Porter looks a lot like Hollywood actress Jessica Lange.Loaded with rich backstory and a bloody confrontation, Sacred Creatures proves to a series worthy of picking up as its art, writing, and issue size never wastes a page.

Feb 7, 2018

Coyotes keeps getting better but also sadder, as the unfortunate message of the story reigns true; the women in the minds of the wolves were made to be devoured but Red, the women of her village, and the Abuelas will fight to the death. Writing and art remains strong and effective as well, helping the series remain one of my favorite Image reads.
