Glitterbomb #1

Sep 7, 2016

There's a provocative premise to Glitterbomb and it'll be interesting to see where the creative team takes it in future issues.

Grave Lilies #1

Jan 11, 2017

Everything about this series so far seems so nuanced and that’s where it’s magic lies. The natural dialogue and seamless art make it such an easy read. One doesn’t get caught up in trying to make sense of everything, what’s important is there on the page, and readers can sit back and just enjoy themselves as they read.

Green Arrow (2016) #3

Jul 21, 2016

In fact, in the whole issue there's only one standout classic Green Arrow zinger. It's not a dark story really, or maybe it's the pink overwash in the panels that's tricking us otherwise. But it's not as lighthearted either. By the end of it Oliver Queen still doesn't seem like he's in a place that helps him out of his jam but luckily, readers know better as we see that there are still people who care for him, fighting tooth and nail to find out what happened. What lets the Green Arrow continue to be strong is that it's not solely just about Ollie but every other character presents themself to be just as integral to the storytelling.

Green Arrow (2016) #5

Aug 17, 2016

Overall it was a fun issue, engaging with very charismatic characters that never leave the reader wanting. It delivers good story with dynamic action and has just enough of an ending to get readers back without feeling gimmicky. It looks like this series remains just as strong as ever.

Mass Effect: Discovery #1

May 24, 2017

Perhaps the story does pick up, naturally the cliffhanger at the end has some interesting implications may lead to something a little more exciting but so far this is an adventure that has been rather lacklustre.

Motor Girl #1

Nov 2, 2016

The idea that a girl like Sam and her gorilla pal can set up shop as a repair station for passing extra terrestrials is certainly unique, and it’ll be exciting to see what adventures are in store for them.

Paper Girls #7

Jul 7, 2016

Though readers are left with more questions than answers much like every issue, it’s a mystery that captivates an audience and doesn’t leave them feeling exhausted yet, for it balances it out with a lot of genuine human emotion and plenty of 21st century allusions that adds a fun flair to the reading, not bog down the readers with the supernatural of it all.

Supergirl (2016) #5

Jan 11, 2017

Supergirl’s rebirth so far has kept to what makes for a quintessential superhero story. Despite having super ability, it’s how one handles adversity that makes them great.

Wonder Woman: Rebirth #1

Jun 8, 2016

Rebirth is definitely a set up to future issues to come so while this particular issue isn’t the most action-packed it’s a nice introduction that does it’s job in keeping readers enticed.

X-Men: Black (2018): Emma Frost #1

Oct 31, 2018

This is easily a must-read for any Emma fan or X-Men fans of previous iterations, it's both nostalgic and current in a way that's wonderfully balanced for a satisfying read.
