The Terrifics Annual does a great job at not only furthering the series but also going back and adding to what we have already seen from previous issues. The writers do an awesome job at revisiting things we thought wed already seen and experienced just to give us a little more context and information to full flesh out those past scenes.

Despite one of the backup stories being somewhat lacklustre, the main story lives up to the high standard set by Lemire in the main series, and the other backup was a fascinating look at one of the supporting cast. So overall, I would say this was a great issue and well worth reading. Read Full Review

While not directly linked to the main story, this was an enjoyable Annual that smartly was utilized to provide some more in depth look at the team and its prominent supporting cast. Read Full Review

THE TERRIFICS ANNUAL #1 gives us three different tales focusing on the team, Java, and Tom Strong. We get a lot of emotional moments, great action and gorgeous art. A great supplemental book to the main series! Read Full Review

This is a quality annual for a book that is very good. The stories are strong and the art on each of them is decent. And you can't ask for more than that. Read Full Review

All in all, The Terrifics is a love letter to all of the cool things that made the Terrifics such a fun cast of characters. While nothing status quo shattering was introduced, we instead got to see some nooks and crannies of the world with a little bit more light. Read Full Review

Three stories, three wins, but I don't think any of them are quite up to the level of the main series. Read Full Review

I do wish there had been at least one story by the real team behind the Terrifics, but the annual is still an entertaining read. Read Full Review

All three stories were paced well and had some really great art. Read Full Review

All around, this is probably the best issue of The Terrifics to date. Read Full Review

Three disparate stories of varying quality, each filling in some of what's been missing from the series. What would you call it? Color? Essence? Gravitas? Whatever it is, this issue adds a little more of that, but not enough to justify plunking down five bucks. Not by a long shot. Read Full Review

First story was alright but the last to in my opinion really topped off this issue well. Three solid, self-contained stories that kind of had 50's sci-fi overtones (bodysnatchers, cavemen, proms, etc.). The one with Java was my favorite, it was hilarious. This might actually be my favorite annual I've read this year, surprising enough.

Three tales that explain backstory, give development and hint at future stories.

The first two stories were good. Although, the ideas presented in the first story were not fully realized and I wish they weren't glossed over. The second story was the best though, I didn't have any issues with it. The third story, however, I thought was extremely boring. If not for that, this would've been a great annual. I don't think it's coincidence that the story most directly associated with the main title's story is the boring one. That's my biggest issue with this series in general. It's boring and forgettable.

This was a bit of a mess, which is disappointing because I usually like this one.
