This is yet another teen superhero story, but it incorporates the concept of war pretty nicely. I’m suspicious of both Ms. Greene and why Ryder’s grandfather wants him to forget his parents so much. This is a great premiere issue, but I want MORE! Read Full Review
Throughout the bulk of this first issue I was coming away with a pretty impressed view of things and thinking that even with the wrestling angle, not a favorite of mine, that it could be a pretty good coming of age with some heroics elements mixed in kind of series.But it ends up going so over the top that it just took me out of the book completely and made it so that I didn't even want to finish it. It just goes into such awful territory that I doubt I'll go after the second issue to see if it can redeem itself. There's a good story to be had here and some great artwork, but the trappings brought in at the end just completely kills my interest in it unfortunately. Read Full Review
Cage Hero #1 has some good moments but for the most part this first release feels poorly executed. The art is worth looking at and the dialogue can be sort of enjoyable if seen in the right light, but as the end product currentlyresidesI can't recommend this one. Read Full Review
This book feels flawed from the concept, and I think the story will suffer from it. Cage Hero #1 is not a strong start for a series that's only lasting 4 issues. If you are going to check this out, pick up the trade when the series has finished. There's no need to pick this one up in issues. Read Full Review
This is embarrassing. Not for the writers or the artist, this is probably what they set out to accomplish (verdict out on the colorist though). This is embarrassing for Dynamite. They print too many books and hold too many properties to be operating on this level. While Boom and IDW try their hand at Image style creator owned properties (results vary, but still), Dynamite publishes a title that feels less polished than those Harley Davidson/Marvel comics where Harley's defeat the Wrecking Crew or some shit. Writers, artists, I can forgive you. This isn't good, but there's a chance that you think this is good. Dynamite, you should know better. Read Full Review
