Jumping onto this, I'm pleased with the art by legendary 'Ironman' (due to his longevity in the industry) John Romita Jr is serviceable yet exceptional when delivering scenes in the apologetic era. |

Saban's Power Rangers OGN: Aftershock OGN |

Think of it like this" The Power Rangers has a much darker tone, the characters are heavily flawed. The MMPR is for those who need something lighter and fun. Therefore, you get 2 great stories to enjoy. Most of all, what I did enjoy was this is NOT an origin story. |

Overall, the first issue provides no punches in terms of action. It is filled with dialogue to introduce each character, tothose who watched the TV like I did.

For those too young, this is like Supernatural and the X-Files where the heroes will set out to solve mysteries. |

TMNT: Amazing Adventures - Carmelo Anthony Special One-Shot #1 |
May 31, 2016 |
This book takes the roots of how TMNT books looked under Archie Comic's publication in the late 1980s and the mid 90s. It is filled with safe humor that is suitable for children and yes it is harmless; there is stimulation as it is too simple for adults to enjoy. Including immature jokes and the obvious conclusion" It may have worked better in the TV series. |

2000AD #1974 |
Apr 11, 2016 |
I have become fond of anthology series and enjoy flicking from one story to another through a handful of pages, some tones vary from non-stop action with Judge Dredd, to horror/suspense to a mild humour to violence. Definitely not for children, 2000AD has stood its ground as a world leader in being unapologetic in its approach to the comic medium. However the tone or mood of Survival Geeks (has the Goonies vibe) especially with the comical animation art-style, for me this is a major shift of the mode and there are some laughable moments. Then we jump back into the gritty tones. Brilliant story-telling and art throughout this book. |

This book is child friendly, yet there is enough action in this book for adults to be adjusted to also. There is a lot of humor (which made me laugh) in this book, yet it is not as silly as one would expect being an all ages book – credit to the writers. There is a level of innocence within this book, with familiar characters from the DCU which would make some alternative reading especially if you are fans of Teen Titan fan or Young Justice minus the violence. Also you don't have to worry about your kids reading this book! |

Martino does a decent job with the pacing of the story, especially switching between story around the villainous professor, then the commoner Mark Williams and the heroic Titan.

He is an awesome wing man and/or comic relief for this story and given the right direction has potential. The added art by Bustos and Gandini is pleasing for the eye and is sharp and it emphasizes Hopeless' story. |
