Dark Ark: After the Flood #1 is a magnificent return to this dark and fantastic world and the characters that inhabit it, and was well worth the wait.

Orphan Age #2 is an excellent issue in this wonderful series and a classic case of out of the frying pan and Into the fire for both the characters and the reader. The story is masterfully crafted and the artwork is top notch.

Sharkey the Bounty Hunter #3 is mind-blowingly awesome! Not only does it accelerate and amplify the action and intensity of the story arc, but it also introduces us to a couple of new and exciting characters. While further developing the relationships and personalities of ones we have already come to know and love.

This is an amazing first issue that does everything the way it should to establish a world and characters that the reader is excited to learn about, and will keep them coming back for more.

This issue appears to be the last in this series, for a little while anyways, and does everything that a great finale should do and so much more. It is exciting, shocking, and sets the scene for future adventures and perils for these wonderful characters in this fantastic world.

Jim Henson's Labyrinth; Coronation #10 is magnificent from beginning to end and brings the two timelines together even more so than before. The action and artwork are beautiful with a  story that amps up the drama to what is sure to be an intense and exciting final two issues.

Overall this is a mediocre issue from some extremely talented creators. The first issue in a four-part limited series should grab the reader's attention, define the story and the characters within it, and move the story forward in a way that is compelling and builds anticipation by the end of the issue for the next ones to come. Unfortunately this first installment does little to none of that.

Overall this is a must have issue for anyone following this series. There are multiple things that happen within its pages that directly affect all of the characters in this story from here on out in a big way.

Overall this issue is a great ending to a wonderful series that fills in the gaps and takes the reader even deeper into the dark corners of the upside down. It iis an absolute must-have for any fan of Stranger Things.

Dark Ark #12 is perfection. It completes the journey of all of the previous issues, paving the way for even darker and more sinister adventures ahead.

A good first installment to this new series. It gives us some back story on existing characters from that universe, and introduces us to fun and interesting new characters.

Pestilence - a Story of Satan #5 is brilliant. It concludes the series in a way that is violently intense and extremely satisfying. Frank Tieri and Oleg Okunev have once again delivered on this masteful finale and series as a whole.

In spite of its lack of answers and resolution with a lot of the situations and characters, this series and this final issue have been nothing short of masterful and brilliant in every sense. This is a title that warrants multiple readings and will give the reader something different and unique each and every time.

This is a good issue that manages to fall a little short in comparison to the previous issues. It is however action-packed and does show a decent amount of character development in spite of a few flaws.

Proxima Centauri #4 is amazing. Once again Farel Dalyrmple bombards us with fantastic and abstract images and emotional situations that not only give us some answers, but also leave us with even more questions to ponder until the next.

Dark Ark #10 is amazing! The story is great and it wraps up a few details that have been carried through this entire series. The artwork is magnificent, the action is thrilling and the images are terrifying and beautiful to behold.

Overall this is a good issue to set the reader up for a wonderful sequel to a memorable series. I recommend this issue to anyone who is interested in the Predator franchise. It's not necessary to have read the first Predator Hunters to be able to jump in on this issue and feel the intense bloodbath to come.

This is a perfect issue to a near-perfect series. It's a prime example of some of the wonderful stories and artwork coming out of Aftershock by some brilliant writers and an amazing artists.

Overall this is a good issue and it is important to the story in the sense of its revelation of Maria's own power and control over the Labyrinth. This issue is worth checking out for fans of the series that are following the story, but it is a little lacking in certain areas compared to other issues.

Overall this is a flawless issue. Where the first issue introduced us to this world in these characters this issue expands upon that, and although it may be a bit more difficult for new readers to dive into and understand it is well worth the effort and the journey.

An amazingly unique ride through a world that is as chaotic as it is fantastic, Proxima Centauri is an imaginative breath of fresh air that is much needed in the comic book world today.

This issue is rather short compared to some of the others in this series but it does contain some wonderful writing that further develops certain characters and sets up for further conflict in future issues. It's most definitely a pivotal issue for anyone following the series.

It starts out action-packed, introduces us to new and interesting characters, gives us good more twists and turns. If you are a fan of Labyrinth and aren't already reading this incredible series then you are missing out.

Pestilence: A Story of Satan issue#1 is AWESOME! It is just as dark, gritty and beautiful as the previous installment. It introduces Satan into the story in a very vile, disturbing way that is sure to intensify this amazing story and even bolder new ways.

Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Coronation #3 continues to be an amazing addition to that world. It answers some questions from the previous issues while raising new questions and revealing new characters to be fleshed out in the issues to follow.

Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Coronation #2 is awesome! It takes us even deeper into the lore and the world of the labyrinth while also giving us a glimpse into what was going on behind the scenes with the characters from the original film.

I would recommend this issue to anyone with children who enjoy the Star Wars universe or to any parents that wants to share that experience with their child. It won't be must-have for most, but it is definitely worth purchasing for fans of the Disney XD Star Wars: Rebels television show.

Jim Henson's Labyrinth: Coronation #1 is magnificent. Right out of the gate it sucks the reader right back into the world of Labyrinth while also giving us something new and exciting to explore.

Kingsman: The Red Diamond #4 is okay, but not on par with the issues before it. It feels more like filler than substance.

Star Trek Discovery: The Light of Kahless #1 is a great issue that takes us back in time to set up for the story of a character from the television series. It does not rely on the events of that series however, and really adds depth and dimension to the character and to the the lore of the show.

This comic is definitely a more wacky cartoonish take on Jack Burton and the world of Big Trouble in Little China. For that reason it's entertaining and very colorful both in its artwork and its characters. The stylization of it may not be for everyone but it is worth checking out.

This was a wonderful first issue to get the character of Lara Croft and the story of Tomb Raider back in the pages of Dark Horse. It is beautiful to look at, action packed, and compelling.

This is an amazing finale to an incredible 6 issue miniseries. The creators have managed to take a familiar story and have crafted it in a way that feels modern and is as beautiful as it is grotesque.
