Adventure Time: 2017 SpOooktacular #1

Oct 12, 2017

Well, this was everything I expected from an Adventure Time comic with a spooky theme. If you like the show and want to learn more about Peppermint Butler I recommend picking it up. Theres not really much plot that is super important to the main story in the cartoon, so it can be enjoyed by itself. If youre not a fan of Adventure Time I could see this comic being really odd and not quite understood. But if you are a fan check it out.

Batwoman (2017) #2

Apr 19, 2017

Like I said, this issue was intense. The action as well as the plot blended pretty much perfectly. My interest was held. I did not want to stop reading. I look forward to learning more about the evil corporation that has tainted Coryana, finding out where Safiyah has gone, and why Tahani wants to kill Kate.

Batwoman (2017) #4

Jun 22, 2017

It also looks like we havent seen the end of the Kali Corporation. We get a glimpse of the twins talking to a mysterious woman at the end of this issue. This issue had some very intense fight scenes. It was a little crazy to learn that Tahini hates Kate so much that shes willing to kill thousands of innocent people for it.

Bettie Page #1

Jul 19, 2017

This comic was so much fun to read. Any new information about Bettie Page is welcome to me. So if you like old school Hollywood, strong women, and weird tales this comic is for you. The story unfolds beautifully. Oh, and the language is very fun in here as well. Using slang terms from the 50s really helps place you in the right timeline. I cant wait to see what Bettie does next.

Bettie Page #3

Sep 28, 2017

I hope you're on the edge of your seats. I really liked that Bettie and Lyssa teamed up in this issue. We don't learn a ton about Lyssa, but what we do learn has me excited for more. I hope they keep working together because Lyssa seems really awesome. I always feel like I'm watching an old school sci-fi mystery when I read Bettie Page. Trust me, that's a compliment.

Bettie Page #5

Nov 29, 2017

I like that the story has headed in a different direction. All the points are lining up and we know everything with Richard, Benway, and now the air force is connected somehow. But, we're not sure what the full connection is. The story is building up to something far more complex than I originally thought it would. If you thought this comic was about a damsel in lingerie you were way off.

Bettie Page #6

Dec 20, 2017

She's just as dynamic as Bettie Page is, and I'm very happy to see her back. I think the ladies work really well together and love their team-up. I also didn't expect the ending of this comic so the twists were nice and refreshing. Of course I can't go into detail on those twists without totally spoiling this issue. That being said you should pick up issue #6 at your local comic store.

Bettie Page #8

Feb 28, 2018

When Bettie Page first started I wasn't sure what to expect from this series of comics. But, what I got was a story that bended science fiction with non-fiction aspects of Bettie's personality.

Mar 13, 2019

I really love this re-telling with all my favorite characters. In a way I actually like their interactions more in the comic. Because Jordie Bellaire is doing one hell of a job in the story-telling and character development department here. Writing is fast-paced, funny, and really an homage to Joss Whedon's original tale.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (2019) #4

Apr 18, 2019

This issue focused mainly on the scoobies and their personal lives. Not a ton of action, but it's nice to see what the gang does when they're not slaying vampires and demons. It was also interesting to get inside Xander's head more in this issue to see what he's really thinking. So even though I've been spoiled by action with this comic, I know character development is also important. So is story-telling.

Coyotes #1

Nov 8, 2017

Something I really like about this comic is its almost all being told from the perspective of Red. The only time that changes is when the storys perspective changes to that of the cop, Frank. Frank too deserves an origin story. Its looking like he will be working with Red and the girls more in future. Another thing I really liked about this comic is it gives away just enough about the coyotes to give you an understanding of them, but it leaves you wanting to learn more. Oh, and in case you missed it all our badass characters so far are women with crazy pasts. Frank is pretty awesome so far too even if he is clueless. I personally cannot wait until the issue #2. Pick this up at your local comic store.

Dont let that dissuade you from picking up this issue. Even though this tale has a classic fairy tale inspiration, the characters inside are all original with their personas.

Deadman (2017) #2

Dec 6, 2017

Wow. I didnt expect this issue to be so action-packed, but it really was. I think any fan of Deadman will want to see exactly how he would exact revenge on his killer. And, you get to see that very thing happen in this issue. Theres also a lot more information that you can gather from the dimension Deadman exists in from this issue to. Phantom Stranger has always been a mysterious character to me, so I was happy to see him make an appearance. I am interested to see what happens in issue 3 now with an ending like that. Pick up this issue today at your local comic store.

Deathbed #2

Mar 21, 2018

I feel like Antonio Luna is pretty out-of-touch with the real world because of his ridiculous adventures. The fact that he doesnt keep in touch with any friends is a bit jarring. Basically what I got from this issue is that he just kind of meets people on his adventures. Then they do whatever it is Luna needs help with. And, then he moves onto the next person. I hope Vals story doesnt end like the rest of Lunas friendsat a funeral. For Deathbeds dynamic character development, absurd action sequences, and pitch black dark humor Im giving this issue gets a high score.

First off, the interactions between the leader of Thurd and Dejah are always tense and entertaining. Secondly, the plot is coming together in a great way.

Eternity Girl #1

Mar 14, 2018

I did pick up on something after reading through this issue again, Madame Atom seems to be in Caroline's head from the very beginning. That's a pretty eerie thing to think about. Eternity Girl has a story with so much depth, and has laid out so much amazing story line in the first issue already. Did I mention I read Eternity Girl #1 multiple times already? Yeah, that's because I liked it that much and wanted to experience it again.

Eternity Girl #2

Apr 11, 2018

Eternity Girl is one of the most human superheroes in comics today because of her emotions in dealing with once being famed and in the limelight. Could you imagine being one of the strongest beings in the universe and not being able to use your powers for anything? This story is a brilliant take on being powerful, but feeling powerless.

Eugenic #2

Nov 8, 2017

There's all kinds of creepy little things revealed about the Numans as well that you will not want to miss out on. Again, this story is creepy because the root of it is something that could realistically happen if someone meddled with genetics enough. There aren't quite as many twists this issue as the last, but the plot development is pretty insane because it all links up even 100 years later.

Oct 26, 2017

Wow guys, okay, so we meet more characters we have grown to love in so many other forms in this tale. I feel like by the end of this run we will see all of our favorites in one form or another. I really like this weird universe and this story was actually pretty fun and adventurous. Another strong point is the way the writers convey Bardas past and present thoughts as she is navigating through a wasteland trying to protect Banshee and Kara. This issue is a wild ride, but lighter than the dark aspect from the first issue.okay, not much lighter. Pick up this issue at your local comic shop.

There were also a few points in the story I didn't describe that were highly disturbing. Horror fans will appreciate that though, especially if they're more into the violent thrillers. The art meshes well with the story to convey the violent nature. I only had one complaint and that was the character's faces all look very similar. I had to pay close attention to clothing, hair color, and eye color to differentiate between characters. But, overall the story is strong, disturbing, and fresh.

Harley Loves Joker is more classic Harley and Joker shenanigans. You can expect to see Bats make an appearance in this story as well. He kinda has to. Harley and Joker have been on a crime spree. Do they out-smart Bats? Do they make a clean getaway? I can promise you there are no clean getaways with Joker and Harley. I enjoyed this issue. Its always great to see Batman make an appearance, and who doesnt love classic Harley Quinn?

Mysik U can best be described as Hogwarts in the DC Universe. And, a lot of your favorite magic users are either students or professors there. Some things I didn't go into detail about are the classes. Yes, you do get to see the students learning magick in different class settings. These small details really bring this story to life. I've always loved Zatanna and Enchantress so seeing them as roomies at a university together is pretty awesome.

Can you hear the B-52's Rocko theme song as you see this cover? Cause I can, but I wasn't sure on what to expect when I first picked up this issue. I was happy that it was a new tale and a continuation of the story. I also really liked how realistic (in some aspects anyway) yet absurd Rocko's job hunt went, because I've had some go almost as ridiculous as his did. The writers did a really good job of setting the scene for modern day job hunts. And, another really strong point was the writers really captured our main characters Rocko, Filburt, and Heffer.

Ok, so I have been reading Sheena of the Jungle since I can remember thanks to my dad. He had comics and of course the terrible movie. I can say that this version of her so far has been my favorite. Sheena is meant to be a protector, and even though she's not the smartest with technology, she's ridiculously intelligent and great at overcoming difficulties. Both of those important things shined brightly in in this version.

Sheena: Queen of the Jungle (2017) #3

Nov 16, 2017

I had previously wrote about a mistake I think previous writers of Sheena of the Jungle made, and that was making her more like a side character when a male was introduced. But, so far Sheena and Chano bounce well off each other. Sheena is still the main strong lead. The couple gives each other information when needed and work well together as a team to solve problems.

Shirtless Bear Fighter #2

Jul 27, 2017

If you havent read issue 1 I highly suggest it because its hilariously brilliant. This issue falls right in line with that brilliance. If you want to see action and insane bear fights this series is for you. The story is ridiculous and absurd but in the best way. If you want to see THE manliest bad ass in comics right now you need to be reading Shirtless Bearfighter. Rating: 9/10 Stars.

Shirtless Bear Fighter #4

Sep 20, 2017

This issue is full of more plot, reveals, and action. As I said in the last issue, we didn't really have much of a plot until issue #3. Well, it's getting thicker and thicker. Some plot points are predictable, while others are insane. I didn't reveal any spoilers in this review so you can discover them all for yourself. I continue enjoying this story and can't wait to see if Shirtless and Silva escape this insanity.

Supergirl (2016) #8

Apr 12, 2017

Batgirl can be seen briefly in this issue spying on Supergirl. She is oblivious Batgirls spying for sure. But, it looks like there could be a fight between them. Im a little lost because they just teamed up in the Batgirl Annual and the story line was said to continue in issue 9 of Supergirl. Guess we have to wait and see where that is headed. Theres not a ton of action going on in this issue. Everything is just plot points leading up to a bigger story line. Its still an interesting read, but its a little slow.

Supergirl (2016) #10

Jun 15, 2017

With no plan Supergirl tells Batgirl sometimes you have to work on the fly. And, takes a leap at the dragon leaving Batgirl and Ben in shock. This issue was crazy guys. Lots of bad guy insanity, action, and reveals. It was also nice to see our heroines work together and make use of their different fighting styles. I trust Kara when she jumps into things, hopefully Batgirl does too.

Supergirl (2016) #11

Jul 13, 2017

Another action-packed issue with Kara and Babs working together to get out of The Phantom Zone. And, on the same physical level because Kara doesnt have her powers. Ben is awesome too and a huge help to escaping as well. The story set-up for the next issue has me intrigued as to what changed while Supergirl was in The Phantom Zone. I wonder, just how long she was really there.

Its interesting to see Kara somewhat out of control of her own powers. Its almost as if shes living on the cusp of a paradox with all of the sudden changes she is seeing. Our future baddies are trying their best to tear her down from the inside. Its truly a scary thought. This issue is setting us up for some crazy future events.

Supergirl (2016) Annual #1

Aug 30, 2017

This annual was fun. There were a lot of reveals, Emerald Empress shares exactly why she is trying to bring down Supergirl. We learn more about Indigo, and theres some insane things leading into issue 13. The writers have been good with mixing story and action. They have also been good with making you care a lot for Kara as shes going through this weird change with her powers. Pick up the annual and judge for yourself. My rating 8.5/10.

Supergirl: Being Super #3

Apr 26, 2017

This issue helps to put bigger things in motion. Theres not a lot of fighting or action. But, trust me there is a good amount of mystery and discovery. Its also very humanizing to see how Kara interacts with her friend Dolly while they grieve over the loss of a mutual friend. Theres a few first-time powers Kara discovers making this issue notable. Im not about spoilers so youll have to pick up issue #3 to learn more.

Supergirl: Being Super #4

Jul 1, 2017

This series so far has done a great job of mixing plot points with action. The story is great, and the discovery of powers is exciting. Another exciting thing thats revealed is Lex Luthor is at the core of villainy in her tale as well. So I figure well soon have a Superman and Supergirl team-up. Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention, Dolly names Supergirl in this issue!

The Damned #1

May 10, 2017

Mobsters? Check. Demons? You bet. Bloody gore and supernatural lore? You know it. If any of those things are up your alley you need to read The Damned. I cant wait to learn the full story of Eddies curse. I also cant wait to see what these demons have up their sleeves for Eddie moving forward. But, the thing Im most looking forward to is how Eddie will face these demons.

The Marked (2019) #1

Oct 16, 2019

The concept behind The Marked is what drew me in, and made me want to read this title. I find it very interesting that a tattoo could be the source of magic. Hine and Haberlin did well to make a cohesive story by throwing in historic events to the mix. I haven't seen a story of this type. The Marked #1 is unique, beautiful, and dark all at the same time.

Winnebago Graveyard #1

Jun 17, 2017

The family starts walking and luckily they find a person driving by to give them a ride to the nearest town. Something is really off about the town though. And, thats where our story ends. I do like the set-up and the mystery. I also find it interesting none of the characters have been named yet (bet theyre expendable). I feel like this is only going to get darker and more messed up.

Xena: Warrior Princess (2018) #1

Feb 7, 2018

All new tales, or some new things blending with existing tales sorta like this issue? Basically the bottom line is if you like strong women and warriors you should already know about Xena. If you dont already know about Xena pick up this comic and learn. You will not regret this decision.
