Animosity: Evolution #1
Sep 28, 2017 |
AfterShock has earned their reputation for putting out some of the most diverse and entertaining comics in the industry. Animosity is a prime example of this. Writer Marguerite Bennett has filled the book with likable characters and realistic scenarios that will intrigue readers from the start. Artist Eric Gapstur has a clean, familiar style that makes it easy to follow both the quiet scenes and action moments. |

To go into details and spoilers would ruin the book's impact and while I wouldn't want every Batman story to be like this, this is one book just about anyone could pick up and be engrossed by. Grab this one and get a glimpse of what the Black Label can offer DC's characters. |

Oct 12, 2017 |
There's certain baggage and a fine line when it comes to comic characters whose best days may be behind them. It takes a special creative team to find the right angle and Renni and Mighten have found it. Even better, they have me looking forward to the next issue, thanks to a fresh twist that's best left for you to read for yourself. |

Future Foundation (2019) #1
Aug 8, 2019 |
I brought up Power Pack at the start because that was the vibe I got from this book. A wish fulfillment book that puts a little wonder back into comics. I'm all for it. It reads a little bit differently than the usual Marvel book and I'd say fans of the Guardians of the Galaxy vibe will like this book, as well as Fantastic Four followers. A solid first issue that will hopefully build to new and better things. |

Aug 1, 2019 |
It's a solid story with an old school feel to it that's fun but ultimately a forgettable ride. It's one of those books that's made for reading in the backseat of the car while your family is driving to the beach and after you're done reading it you leave it at the beach house for the next guest to peruse. |

Jimmy's Bastards #1
Oct 5, 2017 |
Jimmy's Bastards is familiar but never trite with its portrayal of the secret spy genre. It mixes plenty of flavors into the recipe, mystery, romance, action. The book flows with excitement, laughs, and by the end you'll want to go back and read it again to catch all the cool things you missed the first time. |

It's a good set up but the 3-man art team stops it from reaching its full capacity. I'm not sure what the thinking behind it was but it's a shame they went this route. A soft recommendation for Star Wars fans. |

Bottom line, this issue is geared to ride off the publicity of the movie and bring in new fans. For those of us who've been on the Suicide Squad team for years, it's a filler but good enough to get me to come back for the second issue. Good not great but hopeful for the future. |
