dial H for Humphries
On the road (in a food truck full of mayonnaise!) with the amazing H-Dial that gifts the user with a new superpower every time they place a call, teenage runaways Miguel and Summer come under attack by others who crave the power the dial offers. With cryptic calls from the "phone zone" and no one to turn to for help, the adolescent adventurers come to a breaking point, where they either must work together or lose more than just the dial.
Dial H for Hero is Miguel's grounded and authentic journey through the absurd yet heroic world of super powers. Quinones continues to shine while showing off his epic versatility through numerous different art styles. Read Full Review
I had an absolute blast in continuing to read this action packed coming-of-age story. It does an incredible job in making Miguel question himself rather than thrusting him into the role as hero without any dilemmas. Things are most likely going to pick up fast, especially because of the way the issue left off. I'm looking forward to reading the next issue and will definitely look at the previous incarnations of heroes. Read Full Review
I honestly couldn't find anything wrong with this book. Every element is perfect and this series is a wonderful edition to a growing imprint that continues to be successful. Read Full Review
Again, this subtle reinvention of the red phone with the "Tingling 4" has me all in. And it's only the second issue and the kids are going to meet up with Superman. If Sam Humphries does us all right, Supes may have a tingling 4 on his forehead. Wait is that a phone ringing...? Read Full Review
I'm just sorry this is only six issues, because it's easily the most inventive book in DC's stable right now Read Full Review
Dial H for Hero#2 continues on the momentum of the first issue with fun storytelling and exceptional artwork throughout. Read Full Review
DIAL H FOR HERO #2 is a fantastic issue. With great characters and awesomely nostalgic visuals, this comic is a must read! Read Full Review
It's a bold, irreverent book, with a nothing-is-off-limits attitude that I find refreshing. In an era where so many titles are beholden to continuity, it's refreshing to see something so eager to go off the rails. Even the all-ages titles such as Bugs Bunny or Scooby-Doo Team-Up have a need to stay in their respective lanes. But this one, wherever it's going, doesn't need a road. Read Full Review
The second issue of Dial H for Hero is just as much fun as the first and is still a promising start to what could be an exciting new series. Heres hoping future issues can manage some substance along with the razzle-dazzle. Read Full Review
This contemporary reimagining of a classic DC title is absolutely delightful and a total must-buy. Read Full Review
The art by Quinones perfectly compliments the story by Humphries. It's a nice book for sure. If this is kept up, this could be a nice solid comic book series for some time to come. Read Full Review
Humphries might be rushing the origin story somewhat but he's already established a solid premise that should keep the book entertaining for months to come. Read Full Review
Another fun installment of a book that fights DC's grimdark with some impressive success. Read Full Review
After the spot-on Rob Liefeld parody in the series' opening issue, Dial H for Hero managed to top itself this month by nailing a hysterical Dragon Ball imitation. Read Full Review
Dial H for Hero #2 checked off every box that could have kept you on the fence about where you see yourself keeping up with this book. As an ambitious book for Wonder Comics, it is so far being approached with the sense that readers need to feel satisfied by the end of the issue. That is how I felt at least when the ball got rolling with momentum. Read Full Review
The second issue of Dial H for Hero continues the fantastic looking, fun adventure. Read Full Review
Humphries' pacing is still a little on the slow side as he tends to serve the bit over pushing the story forward but there's no denying that Dial H for Hero is a fun and inventive title. Read Full Review
Themystery of the H-Dial and the Thunderbolt deepens, and we get to see a couple moregoofy, stylized superheroes. If you were expecting something else from thisseries, you were barking up the wrong telephone pole. But if you're disposed tothis sort of thing then you'll probably enjoy the latest iteration.

A love letter to fans of Dragon Ball and mechs.
I thought this was a great issue! Awesome series so far
This issue was great! As a manga fan, I really lived the Dragon Ball reference similar art style! Heck, even the Thunderbolt Club may be a reference to the Red Ribbon Army! This was truly a fun issue!
A funny issue that gives to us some hints for the future of this series. There are some manga references and they are really enjoyable, they’re not only fan-service but a real love letter to them.
The art is really good.
Well first half of the issue was good! But once we got the first dial "hero", completely lost me and book went down hill!
This kind of felt like it was wasting my time. I don’t get why the kid was throwing away the phone in the first place, there was no buildup to that at all. Feels like we’re rushing through the hero’s journey and the only thing I really like about it is the art.
I had so much trouble getting through this issue. I was mainly just bored with this. It couldn't end quickly enough.
