    The first issue of the new ongoing STEVEN UNIVERSE comic series is warm and stress-free. It might be filler, but it's got all of the feminist messages and humor of the regular series. Plus, it's always great to see Lapis and Peridot have some fun for once. Read Full Review

    Newsarama - Justin Partridge Feb 7, 2017

    While the television show has moved on to grander stages like outer space and Gem homeworld prison ships, Steven Universe #1 shows what kind of fun you can get up to while keeping your feet firmly planted on the ground. Melanie Gillman, Katy Farina and Whitney Cogar take the reigns of the beloved property and treat it with the utmost respect while still extrapolating what makes it so loved in the first place and funneling it into a sweetly funny opening story. As far as returns go, the latest return to store shelves for Steven Universe is pretty much the best-case scenario. Read Full Review

    Comics Bulletin - Kristopher Grey Feb 13, 2017

    The popular television show and comic miniseries is recommended to explain the background that leads the characters to their current setting. Anyone looking to enjoy the story, however, can read this as a standalone since it does not further the main story, or even touches the primary conflict. This comic is kid friendly, and for anyone who takes joy in the animated TV series. More main characters and story advancement to come! Read Full Review

    Multiversity Comics - Robbie Pleasant Feb 9, 2017

    Fluff, but nice fluff, and properly takes some of the things that make the show great and puts them in comic form. If youre a fan of the show, youll enjoy the comic too. Read Full Review
