Star Wars #10 is a good read, and stunning on the eyes. Seeing the dynamic team of Luke and Han together gives it that “original trilogy” feel. This issue is the conclusion of a continuation story, and it ends in such a beautiful heartwarming Star Wars fashion. I cannot wait to see where this Star Wars comic book takes us to next within the galaxy! True Star Wars fans need to pick up this issue from their local comic book shop!

Spider-Man fans are pretty accustomed to Peter having emotional storylines. There are a select few that really leave an impact on you. My number one emotional Spider-Man story is Spider-Man Blue. After reading this issue, this story comes in a close second place. The writing is so spot on, making your emotions for Peter grow even more. The writing plays off the art, and the art plays off the writing. This is a dynamic story that is a trademark for Peter Parker. Being Spider-Man will always leave Peter torn in multiple facets of his life. Go get a copy of this issue for your collection!

Fall of Ultraman’s first issue shows so much promise for a great story. Just from this issue alone, you get the feeling of action, emotion, and a hint of rejoicing. This issue sets the groundwork for the upcoming issues. I am very pleased that this issue was my introduction to Ultraman, and I am invested in knowing where this story goes. This is a series you will be sorry if you do not pick up.

Back when Star Wars Episode I was released, I was a big fan of one particular character, Jar Jar Binks. Now seeing him get his first stand-alone comic book brings a warm smile to my face. This is a Star Wars story. By that I mean that it has all the factors that play into the mold of Star Wars. You have the galaxy, politics, jedi, bounty hunters, and lightspeed! Mesa thinks this is a great first issue, and mesa look forward to seeing where Jar Jar ends up going and doing next! Go pick up a copy of this thrilling story from your local comic shop today!

This issue is the very definition of what a continuation should be. You also have very powerful plays on emotion that you sometimes will not get with other writers. The dialogue is also used in a manner that if you were to start collecting this arc with this issue, you would not be completely confused about what is taking place. Love how this story is moving, pace wise. I am thrilled to see where Gene leads readers from here. Go snag a copy of TMNT #15 from your local comic shop today!

This is the first Spider-Man run that I have personally collected from the very start with issue one. And I am utterly amazed at the ride that Joe Kelly is taking fans on! This issue is a must read. This entire run is a must have. The story line has no breaks in it at all. From telling multiple stories in a single issue, to one story line an issue. Joe Kelly is proving with this arc why he is one of the best at what he does.

Logan: Black, White & Blood #2 is a phenomenal collection of three short stories featuring Logan. You get to experience three different time periods within Logan's life along with three different forms of fighting. This is proving to be an amazing arc, and I am thoroughly impressed with how it is going. You do not need to be a die-hard fan of Logan to pick up this arc to know what is happening. Each story is its own and offers plenty of entertainment for the reader.

This first issue of Thundarr is spectacular. The writing by Jason Aaron brings to life a barbaric man struggling to do what is right. The way he (Jason) is able to write such beautiful panels, making you believe what you're reading is happening, only to twist it at the end is poetic. This is my first title from Dynamite Comics, and I am beyond impressed. I am looking forward to reading more of Thundarr the Barbarian, and you should pick this up and enjoy it as well!

I want to start off by saying that this type of story is not something that I read. But after giving this first issue of Malevolent a shot, I must say that it has opened my eyes to trying more comics that I normally steer clear of. This book is the start of something that I hope brings a whirlwind of devastation. The storytelling combined with the artwork bring this to a larger scale. I'm surprised the panels are big enough to hold it in. Image Comics has something special here, and I cannot wait to keep up with this story! Go get your copy of this first issue!

This story does an excellent job of capturing the inner emotions of Norman Osborn. Peter Parker didn't ask Norman to take up the role of Spider-Man, he chose to do so. Now he's battling with his own moral dilemma of being a hero after being the villain. This continuation plays a vital part in this arc and shouldn't be missed!

Personally, being a Batman fan, I love this book! Now, to take my bias out of the equation. This is an entertaining read. The amount of emotion and passion within the dialogue when Batman wants to rescue Lucius is typical of Batman. The panels bring you along on a fluid ride through action and adventure, sprinkling in suspense. As an avid collector of classic titles, I encourage you to add this title to your collection. Modern comics are fun and exciting, but there is something about having a comic that is older in your hands. Feeling the texture of the old style of paper and getting entranced in the aura of what was popular in its time.

This is the only issue of this arc that I personally own. Causing me to base this review strictly on what was between the covers. And I must say that this is a good story, and I am feeling to urge to hunt down the other issues. This story has a lot of emotion to it. Not so much of a happy tone, but the art compliments the dialogue so precisely to deliver the emotional climate. I plan on searching for the issues before and after this one to complete the story. It is definitely worth a read, especially to Titan fans!

Stephanie Phillips is an amazing storyteller! This story incorporates so many emotions into twenty-two pages.

Joe Kelly continues to do an amazing job telling this gripping story of Spider-Man! We get comedic moments from Rocket as well as emotional moments with Raelith. The flow of the dialogue is top notch making this feel like a quick read. Kelly does such a suitable job with context clues that if you are new to this series, you could easily figure out what is going on. However, I recommend collecting the earlier eighteen issues, and of course this one!

Another Star Wars comic that has come and gone. This is a very good read. It is so well put together that you actually feel as if this is a TV series and not a twenty-three-page comic book. You get pieces of joy, sorrow, accomplishment, and defeat. Outside of the action panels in this issue, Han is taken on an emotional roller coaster, and you really feel somewhat bad for him. True Star Wars fans will understand as soon as they read the first couple of pages. Go get this book! You WILL NOT be sorry about this in your collection. And if you're like me and HAVE to have entire collections, go pick up issues one through four while you're at it.
