    DC Comics News - Tony Farina

    Penultiman #3 forces one to spend a lot of time thinking about one's self and why we are who we are. Is there a fictional version of ourselves out there in cyberspace that is actually better than us? I mean, we all have online personas that we hide behind. What would happen if that idea of you took shape and took over? Would you be able to even compare to that “person?” Would you want to? So much to think about. Read Full Review

    Overall, this is a strong comic that has a lot more going for it than the average comic book. Worth a look. Read Full Review

    AIPT - Alex McDonald

    Dec 07, 2020

    Penultiman #3 is another stellar installment of the series that asks "what if the world's greatest hero didn't feel like he belonged?" There's just the right balance of humor and emotional beats (Penultiman's pained, forced smile being particularly relatable and amusing). As with any AHOY Comic, there's plenty of extras to make the issue even more worth it. Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson

    Jan 01, 1970

    Peyer delivers an entertaining story (as do the writers of the back-up text stories) and the art is a perfect balance of traditional superhero art and slightly wacky comedic funnybooks. Nicely done. Read Full Review
