    Overall, this is a really fun book, and I'm sad to see it end after next month's issue. Hopefully, this Ray will continue to distinguish himself from his prior namesakes and not just be the 7th member on any team that will have him, but rather continue to be the center of interesting stories for years to come.

    Outer Realm Comics - Charles Joy Feb 27, 2012

    The great writing and beautiful art come together wonderfully to form a solid issue (not a filler) in this "feels too short" mini-series. While I would loved to have it last another two issues beyond its current size, I am sure the creative team will bring a satisfying ending to this exciting, action packed and drama filled book. If anyone from DC is taking notes, I believe this will make a great trade and will likely do well as a collection. Read Full Review

    Comicosity - Aaron Long Feb 23, 2012

    In keeping with the quality of the past two issues, Jamal Igle adds a unique flair to the book with his sharp pencils. This book is as visually bright as it should be, the title character is a living being of light, and the art does that fact justice. The Ray #3 is a great example of excellent superhero art and is one of the most visually impressive books I've seen from DC this month. Read Full Review

    Overall, this series has had a bright and refreshing tone and pace that's different from a lot of the New 52, and hopefully, this can get an extension to be a full on regular series. It's good, solid entertainment, and that last page of Chanti's makes me hope for another intriguing twist on the traditional role of "love interest for the hero" by the time this all shakes out.

    Comic Book Resources - Greg McElhatton Feb 23, 2012

    "The Ray" #3 is a good comic but I must admit I'm a little sad to see the previous two issues' whimsy set aside. Hopefully it'll return for the conclusion next month, because it definitely set "The Ray" apart from just another superhero comic -- because while it's a good superhero comic, it's great when it goes for the more offbeat style.
