Crush and Lobo #1 walks exaggeration, self-reference, drama and comedy lines gracefully, as the set-up for this gay angst drama comes directly for us with the strongest vibes. Read Full Review

In conclusion, Crush & Lobo #1 absolutely crushes it in it's first issue! Engaging characters with immediate development and chaotic action with bold real-world consequences gives this series all the potential to be a gut bustingly bombastic ride with room for thrashingly relatable emotional baggage as it proceeds.

Crush & Lobo #1 has a high tempo, and that's the result of Amancay Nahuelpan's artwork. While Crush is talking to the readers about her life, she's fighting off villains and dealing with other messes throughout the story. That's how it should be with a Lobo book " get things rolling right out the gates and don't slow down. Read Full Review

This isn't a totally smooth first issue, but DC and Tamaki deserve praise for breaking the mold with LGBT leads in a similar way as Midnighter. Read Full Review

Bonvillain uses bold, brilliant colors to highlight Nahuelpan's detailed drawings. The character expressions and forms are emotionally connective. This is a well crafted issue that is engaging and transportive. Read Full Review

Crush & Lobo #1 is a fun introduction to DC's next big father/daughter adventure. It isn't perfect, but that's not what it promises. Its promise from the get-go is fun, wild adventure, and readers will find that in droves. Read Full Review

Crush & Lobo #1 does an excellent job of entirely investing readers in Crush's story and the internal conflict that will almost certainly manifest as external butt-kicking in the issues to come. Read Full Review

Crush and Lobo #1 wouldn't sell me on the series based on the events of the issue alone. But, the writing is good and the characterization of Crush especially, makes me want to give this series another shot. Read Full Review

Enjoyable start to this new series with a lot of fun character moments and a really good foundation for the main character. Read Full Review

This first issue of Crush & Lobo looked great but seemed intent on turning Crush into the next Harley Quinn... or the next Lobo.  That's a shame because she is so much more than that.  I hope Mariko Tamaki can turn things around starting the next issue because I can't recommend this one.

Better than I thought it would be. Stakes are low in this issue, but it's a fun read. I love the final pages, with the psychotic menace emanating from Lobo's facial expressions - great work by Nahuelpan. In the hands of lesser writers, Crush can come across like a one-dimensional Damian Wayne d-bag character, but not here, fortunately.

wasnt that bad, I liked how it developed Crush's personality and showed her to be a likeable character.

Crush and Lobo has a good start with all of teen dramedy with Crush's superhero life, her self-consciousness, and her daddy issues. All while having a reason to try and better for someone she loves.

Not a bad first issue but the narration might get annoying.
