Captain Planet as a concept is a tough nut to crack. The original cartoon packed the 30-minute adventures with magical rings, heroics, and educational themes. Sure, it was over the top at times, but it did make learning about the environment a bit more fun. After his major success with Space Ghost (another book that you absolutely should be reading), it was exciting to learn that David Pepose would be taking the reigns of Captain Planet's new adventures. Eman Casallos' artistic stylings make him a great choice to tackle this book, ensuring that the designs feel modern yet recognizable to fans of all ages. And hey, Captain Planet now has a super green beard! But seriously, the creative team accomplished a lot in this first chapter, and the stage has been set Captain Planet to return to prominence!

This is an exciting comic with a lot of storytelling in its pages and does a wonderful job of getting people interested in the story. Casallos and Sutil's art works well for the most part, taking the excitement of Pepose's script and bringing it to life. Captain Planet and the Planeteers #1 is a great way to bring back a group of classic characters, giving readers some nostalgia while also introducing something fresh and new and very worth getting excited about.

David Pepose's script repeats the success of Space Ghost by redoing the cast of characters with a modern, mature edge, and the artwork is great. That said, some of the new Planeteers may take some getting used to as anti-establishment activists. Read Full Review

Captain Planet and the Planeteers #1 is a good start that establishes itself as not necessarily your parent's version of Captain Planet and the Planeteers but also not as edgy as some of these recent reboots of childhood favorites. Read Full Review
