Fantastic Four (2018) #9

May 3, 2019

I love the Fantastic Four and they're back, which I love even more. I enjoyed watching them come together as a team and learning more about the kids, hopefully we get more of both in future issues.

Fantastic Four (2018) #10

Jun 3, 2019

I had a lot of fun reading this issue. It has great energy that I hope carries through to future issue. There are lots of moments that are just fun and exciting. It also has some themes that really speak to me.

Fantastic Four (2018) #11

Jun 28, 2019

This issue was alright. It's not bad, but nothing that really grabs at the reader. It's decent filler and hopefully the next issue will be more interesting.

Fantastic Four (2018) #13

Aug 19, 2019

At best I can say that this issue was fair. It didn't give me anything that I was hoping for, but it didn't necessarily fail at anything it was actually trying to do. My best description is that this issue is like a plain slice of white bread. It'll give you sustenance, but it's not terribly exciting.

Fantastic Four (2018) #14

Sep 16, 2019

Alright, I'm going to give this issue a reasonably good rating, because I loved the art so much. It was that great to look at. Also, I'm trying to not get my hope up, but they're finally going to have a space adventure, and that's what I'm here for.

Fantastic Four (2018) #15

Oct 3, 2019

This issue is alright. It's mostly world building, which isn't always exciting. Hopefully though the next issue will be more exciting now that the ground work is all laid out. The art is still really great though.

This was a fun issue. I really enjoyed the world-building details. The art is still really fun. It's a very good time and I definitely recommend it.

The thing I was hoping for might not have happened, but this is still a strong issue. The last few pages make you want to cheer and get excited for what's coming next.

Outpost Zero #9

Apr 22, 2019

I really love this series, I'm having a great time. There was something introduced at the very end that I am excited to see more of. It's one of my favorite things about science fiction and I'm excited that it's showing up in a series I'm having so much fun with.

Outpost Zero #10

Jun 20, 2019

I really love this series so far and I enjoyed this issue. My only real problem is that since this issue spent so much time giving us information it didn't move the story forward very much. That's only really a con because I really want to know what happens. Tell me what lives in the bowels of this planet.

Outpost Zero #11

Jul 24, 2019

We've learned more about the characters and we're getting to see them come face to face with some serious conflict. Unfortunately, the robot made no appearances in this issue. That's not really a deal breaker though. I just like the robot.

Outpost Zero #12

Aug 22, 2019

This issue was perfect for me. The art is still on point and it hit a lot of storytelling beats that I really enjoy. I especially enjoy the fact that we're starting to see some payoff from stuff that was planted in earlier issues. It's all coming together and it's exciting. Also, the robot is back. It is my favorite character.

Outpost Zero #13

Sep 21, 2019

This series is still going strong. I'm really excited to see how they wrap everything up in the next issue. I'm also sad that the next issue is going to be the end. I've really enjoyed this series and I'm going to be sad to see it go.

She Said Destroy #1

May 9, 2019

I really enjoy the world and look of this series. I'm also really interested in how the whole sun god versus death god thing will play out. Unfortunately, I'm not all that impressed with the characters and hope that improves with future issues.

I still think this series is interesting and I definitely love the colors. This issue just didn't grab me the way the last one did.

She Said Destroy #3

Jul 31, 2019

We've learned enough about the characters that I am actually invested in what happens to them. I'm not just focused on how much I enjoy the art anymore.

She Said Destroy #4

Aug 30, 2019

I feel like this series is going pretty strong. Don't let the color scheme fool you though, it's pretty serious. It doesn't have the roaring sense of adventure that I tend to like, but it's still a good time.

Star Wars (2014) #57

Dec 10, 2018

Honestly, I was pretty bored while reading this. I can see the potential for it to be a great read once we get deep into the story, but the setup isn't all that exciting or engaging. The art was also pretty frustrating. In some aspects I really loved it, but in others I found it off putting and it made me disengage from the story.

Star Wars (2014) #58

Dec 8, 2018

I like this issue a lot more than the last one. We're finally getting payoff for the setup in the last issue and I'm enjoying the actual story that they're giving us.

Star Wars (2014) #59

Jan 13, 2019

While I had problems with this issue I felt like it was an improvement over the last few. I am definitely excited to see where the story goes with the introduction of these new characters. Hopefully, it's more exciting than what we've been getting.

I like this a lot more than previous issues. There seems to be a lot more going on and there are bits that make me happy. Hopefully, it keeps up.

Star Wars: Darth Vader (2017) #21

Oct 2, 2018

It's interesting to see new stories set in the Star Wars universe, but I'm not sure this one stands out as all that special though. The most interesting thing about this book is the fact that it's about Darth Vader. Which has a lot of potential. Overall the book is good, just not amazing.

Star Wars: Darth Vader (2017) #24

Dec 6, 2018

I'm actually really interested to see were this is going and the art was super fun to look at. As weird as it is to root for Darth Vader it was actually really cool to see what all he can do.

Star Wars: Darth Vader (2017) #25

Jan 5, 2019

I'm always surprised at how much I enjoy this series every time I read a new issue. I wasn't expecting to like this. Vader is the ultimate villain and it's kind of weird rooting for him as a protagonist. The art and the lore are really great though, especially in this issue.

The Freeze #1

Nov 21, 2018

I really liked this and am having a hard time thinking of bad things to say about it. Even my criticism of the art isn't much of criticism. This story is clearly right up my ally and I would definitely recommend giving this book a shot. It's great if you're interested in apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic stories, but different enough from other stories with similar setups to still be really intriguing.

The Freeze #2

Jan 10, 2019

This issue starts getting to the heart of the problems hinted at in the last issue and we get to see the art improve. Which is a win all around for me. It does get a little graphic at the end though. So, that might be a little off putting if you're not expecting it.

The Freeze #3

Feb 13, 2019

Even though I found some things confusing, I'm still really enjoying this series. It's interesting, dark, and I wish I could just sit down a read a whole bunch of it at once. I get frustrated when I get to the end and realize I have to wait for the next issue to release.
