    Tales of Wonder #1 is a strong debut that mixes superhero nostalgia, industry satire, and personal conflict into an engaging first issue. Steve Skroce builds a familiar but intriguing world, then ends with a reveal that makes the story feel much bigger than expected. With sharp writing, detailed art, vibrant colors, and clean lettering, this issue delivers an awesome start that leaves plenty of reason to come back for more. This should be a must get when you go to the LCS this week, and a highly considered addition to your Pull List. Read Full Review

    By the final stretch, Skroce has earned the superhero insanity because the spectacle is attached to a relationship instead of replacing one. Tales of Wonder #1 has a few rough edges, mainly the heavy dialogue and a setup that takes its sweet time before smashing the gas, but the payoff is worth the wait. Skroce’s art is ferocious, Herring gives the chaos shape and temperature, Brosseau keeps the page flowing, and the writing finds real sadness hiding underneath some savage comic-industry comedy. WEPAAAA, this joint showed up wearing old-school comics history on its sleeve and then pulled a loaded ray gun from under the signing table. Funny, mean, affectionate, visually bananas, and built around two dudes who desperately need therapy before they save anybody. Read Full Review

    The book combines biting parodies of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, as well as fandom itself, with some great superhero action as a new Lovecraftian-style menace rises. Read Full Review
