What's to Love: The Steven Universe Cartoon Network animated series has given us a serious case of the feels over and over again, and our first Steven Universe comic series was met with enthusiasm from our fellow fans, so we had to head back to Beach City for more adventures! Plus, all the Subscription covers in this mini-series by Jeremy Sorese connect to form one image!

What It Is: Josceline Fenton (Hemlock) and Chrystin Garland (Adventure Time) help keep Beach City weird with this new four-issue miniseries. Steven takes the Gems out for a camping trip and tells them spooky stories around the camp fire. The Gems don't give him more

    "Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems" #1 captures the spirit of the show while still finding enough humor and excitement to be its own thing. Make no mistake, you need to have watched at least the first season of Steven Universe before you try this out: Fenton and Garland rely on your knowledge of the material to make a lot of their scenes work, but why would you even be picking up a licensed comic of something you've never even seen before? I mean more that "Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems" #1 is able to stand on its own as a Steven Universe adventure rather than feel like some meaningless extension of some random episode. The series is fun and charming as it mostly sets the stage for a bigger problem. Read Full Review
