Fueled by endless reserves of renewable talent, author DAVID PEPOSE and artist EMAN CASALLOS push their narrative engine to the limit in Captain Planet #3 — aided by clean-burning covers from CHAD HARDIN more

    Nerd Initiative - Richard Coryell Aug 13, 2025

    This issue does a marvelous job of continuing to introduce us to the team, well also moving the story forward. David Pepose really taps into the humanity of the team and the reality of throwing strangers together with all the challenges that it brings. At the same time, he shows the beginning of the character arcs for some of the Planeteers. Pepose as always does amazing at showing the real human drama within the characters he writes.

    Comical Opinions - Gabriel Hernandez Aug 14, 2025

    CAPTAIN PLANET #3 is a sugar rush of eco-heroics that refuses to slow down for pesky things like subtlety or character growth. It's fun, chaotic, and high on spectacle, but thin on nuance. Fans of the original show will appreciate the effort, but anyone looking for a well-written or thoughtfully-paced story should look elsewhere. This issue is a loud, messy ride that leaves you feeling more exhausted than entertained. Read Full Review
