A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns OGN

Jun 17, 2021

A Quick & Easy Guide to They/Them Pronouns is a very accessible guide. While some jokes will go over the heads of people who are not in the LGBTQ community (or allies), it's nevertheless a great read to understand the pain of being misgendered, how to be a good friend or family member (or person), and why gender-inclusivity is important.

Cojacaru: The Skinner #1

Apr 16, 2021

Cojacaru the Skinner #1 provides an interesting alt-history with plenty of gore and supernatural elements to entertain fans. While its a bit of a monotonous slaughter-fest initially, the story picks up interest with the introduction of its titular character. A few elements in the story and Cojacarus background are a tad confusing, which either suggests issue two will reveal more or that this is best read along with the rest of the series in The Outerverse.

Cyberpunk 2077: Trauma Team #1

Aug 26, 2020

Overall, the creative team did a marvelous job with this first issue. The art and coloring are gorgeous and, for anyone who is a fan of cyberpunk, youll enjoy the themes in this comic. Nadia is an interesting character so far, but whatll be more interesting is just how shell settle the conflict between her morality and her job.

Dark One #1

Jul 15, 2020

In the end, there are still a few questions I had left, but these minor plot holes do little to dampen the impact of Dark Ones story. This a brilliant graphic novel that has some amazing themes delving into the duality of man and light and dark. The creative team tells Pauls story beautifully, making sure that this novel will leave an impact.

Of course, it'll be nice to see a more extensive, overarching plot added to the series, and I'm sure what Hiro discovers in this issue will likely play a prominent role in that. Still, for now, Deathstroke Inc.carries itself mainly based on its fun dialogue and terrific artwork.

No Guns Life #6

No Guns Life Volume 6, as always, does some great world-building while upholding the integrity of its characters. The series has always been centered around character growth, and volume 6 doesn't deviate from this trend. Both Juzo and Tetsuro have grown so much over the past few volumes, but all these changes culminate at the end of this volume, making for a very hard wait for volume 7 to arrive.

However, this issue is a little frustrating, for both the readers and the characters within. The murder investigation is no closer to answers, and you can see how this affects Prowl negatively. Chromia is much more put-together about the situation but she must also be feeling the pressure. We get more of a sneak peek in Cyclonus's mind, but we're also suddenly introduced to a new bot with questionable intentions. More questions than answers seem to be added to the mystery of the first murder on Cybertron. I can certainly tell you I'm antsy to be thrown a bone. There are so many questions needing to be answered, beyond those revolving around the murder. What are the Ascenticons up to? Why are Cybertronians going missing?

Transformers (2019) #31

Jun 25, 2021

With the change in the focal point from the last issue, the creative team has done an excellent job hitting the ground running in Transformers #31. With Ruckley inserting a bit of humor into the dialogue and all the situations Jumpstream gets into and the wonderful, emotive artwork, the ending will shock your system.

Transformers (2019) #32

Jul 16, 2021

Transformers #32 is a bit confusing. It's hard to tell exactly how the events in this issue will impact the rest of the series. Nevertheless, the creative team has done a splendid job and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for both the Decepticons and Autobots. And some fans are going to be mighty excited for the cliffhanger in the last few pages.

Transformers: Escape #2

Feb 14, 2021

Overall, while I would recommend reading the main series first, the events of Transformers: Escape #2 are still impactful. This is largely due to the great selection of personalities and the excellent dialogue. But the art and colors also do an outstanding job supporting the plot. So far, this mini-series is a great tangent to the main storyline of Transformers (2019).

Transformers: Galaxies #1

Sep 27, 2019

Personally, I think this is a wonderful start to this series. I was a bit wary when I heard that the series was going to start out highlighting the Constructicons, but my fears have certainly been assuaged. The only downside to this series is that I have to wait a month to get my hands on the next issue.

Transformers Galaxies #3 goes into greater depth on why the Constructicons were on Mayalax in issue #2.

Feb 19, 2020

Transformers Galaxies #4 is a great conclusion to this arc. I was glad to see the Constructicons highlighted and I think that the creative team did an excellent job creating an emotive, complex story while at the same time tying it into the greater Transformers series in just a few short issues.

Transformers Galaxies #5 is a great start to a new tale in this anthology series. It's fun, quirky, but also emotional. Although a bit simplistic in comparison to previous issues, the plot is entertaining, and the technical elements of this issue are beautifully done. Im eagerly awaiting the release of the next issue.

Transformers: Galaxies #6

Mar 27, 2020

For something so short, we get a great story that is both emotionally impactful and entertaining. Although this arc, and issue, aren't filled with a multitude of events that convolute the story, the creators still manage to create an intricate culture surrounding the Probats and give a great background to Cliffjumper.

If you are at all familiar with the Transformers 2019 series, the last panel is likely no big surprise. However, the dramatic irony makes this a worth-while read.

Transformers: Galaxies #8

Aug 14, 2020

Transformers Galaxies #8 brings another wonderful issue to this anthology series. Its heartwarming to see Gauge reunite with her two mentors and Gauge is back to her brilliant and contrary self. Despite the use of flashbacks that may be old-news for some readers, the ending will definitely be a surprise for everyone.

Transformers: Galaxies #10

Sep 18, 2020

Overall, although I personally don't find Ultra Magnus a very interesting character, Easton keeps the 'bot true to character. Despite there being a couple of hiccups in the dialogue, the creative team did a wonderful job breathing life into these characters.

Transformers: Galaxies #11

Oct 29, 2020

Although Storm Horizon is not my favorite arc so far in this anthology series, I still enjoyed my time with this issue. The way Easton writes Magnus has added an extra dimension to this character and the rest of the creative team has done an excellent job rounding this issue out.

Transformers: Galaxies #12

Jan 2, 2021

Eastons writing is perfect for Magnus, and the art is wonderful. However, this issue is bittersweet for the fact that Transformers Galaxies #12 is the last issue in this series. Although its sad to see this anthology series end, this final issue leads into the next major events of the Transformers ongoing series excellently and I can't wait to see where Transformers is headed.

Venom (2018) #29

Oct 21, 2020

With Annie telling the history of this dimension and her Dylan and Eddie facing his mistakes with Scorpion, this issue trades action for emotional content. The creative team has done a good job of marrying the flashbacks with the present story and the next issue will undoubtfully be an interesting one.
