With brilliantly sharp and colorful artwork by Salvador Larroca and Edgar Delgado to bring Gillen's writing to life, this first issue if not the entire story arc should find a spot in the best of 2015's offerings. There is no denying the fact that Darth Vader is THE biggest bad-ass in the galaxy with the power to back it up and I sincerely hope that this series will live up to the heritage and quality which it draws from.

All-in-all, a great X-Men experience but nothing spectacular of note. Fans who aren't familiar with the series should try to go back at least three issues to the beginning of this story arc because I would not recommend this issue as a jumping on point.

That passage alone speaks volumes as to the character Sinestro has become. As it stands on its own, Futures End Sinestro is amazing. How it fits into the entire Futures End story line I cannot say now, but it is an enjoyable read if you are a fan of the Lantern universe. For the uninitiated, this is a great introduction to Sinestro and gives you some real insight into one of DC's most interesting villains. How ruthless and unrelenting he is and that he does often walk a very thin line between good and evil.

Another aspect of this book that turned me off was having three artists working on it. Even though the art styles are similar, I still found it distracting and difficult to focus on. One high note was the few pages involving the battle between Batman and Metallo, a true David and Goliath matchup. For a one-shot book, my over-all impression isn't too lively and I can only hope that other titles in the Futures End event are more gratifying.

Davis' story flowed well from beginning to end and it was an overall quick read. The artwork wasn't too distracting and as I stated above really complemented Davis' retro storyline. Even if you're not a fan of Hulk, any comic fan should appreciate the writing and artwork.

What Young has done here is make you care about what is going on and for Rocket without taking things too seriously. This issue is a fun ride, with the centerfold prison break sequence being a true feast for the eyes. This series is definitely getting added to my monthly pull list and like another hidden gem I discovered this week, I look forward to exploring more of the Guardians characters.

It is difficult to judge this series and not bring the TV series and even the novels up at one time or another. As a stand-alone series, it would be difficult to know whether this comic would have continued much past 6 or 8 issues. Not because it is bad, but because that without the power of the mega-hit television show backing it up, many mainstream readers would find it rather pedantic.

As I closed the cover on this issue I'll say that it wasn't the most amazing book I have ever read. But it was the best book I've read this week and I have found a whole new world to explore in the back issues of Jack Kirby's creation. As for Joe Casey's elegant reboot, I will definitely give it a shot past issue 2. Fans of Kirby should enjoy this book immensely. For those not old enough or have yet to discover Jack Kirby, you will find this book gratifying.

I truly hate to give a bad review of any comic, and I try my best to find something that I like in any comic I review. I found it extremely difficult to find anything worthy of praise for this issue of Transformers vs. G.I. Joe. I understand that writers Tom Scioli and John Barber, along with art by Tom Scioli were trying to re-create the look and feel of the classic Transformers and G.I Joe comics. Based solely on that, they did a great job. Unfortunately I was never a big fan of those comics so the endeavor just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I will give them an A+ for effort, but this just wasn't good for me.

Artwork by McGuinness and Vines is superb throughout which is sometimes difficult given the amount of fighting that takes place in this issue. The colors by Marte Garcia are brilliant and really capture the feel for the environment the characters are placed in. This would definitely be my choice for book of the week.

This first issue was well written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Bruno Redondo. As previously mentioned, the writing is solid throughout but the artwork is a little weak in part one Third Wheel but then picks up in the second part, Fear. I was impressed with the issue overall, but being a number one, it left me feeling a little flat at the end. Yes, there are elements in this issue that are pretty serious but nothing I was overly shocked about. What this issue did well was leave me anxious for the next one.
