The illustrations in this issue are youthful and vibrant. And a focus on character expression and form help to foster a deeper connection with the story. This good looking and well designed edition is both fun and engaging. Read Full Review
Reptil #3 sets the stage for the series' finale, featuring a classic Marvel mix of superheroics and personal problems where its hero is concerned. The issue ends on a massive cliffhanger that promises more trouble ahead for Reptil... Read Full Review
Reptil is an absolute delight through and through, and I can't wait to see how this all plays out. Read Full Review
Revelations are made, more than a few even. Reptil finds inspiration from the people around him after going through an episode, so that he doesn't have to take the lonely burden of being the paragonal hero. But I gotta say Megalith is kind of a lame villain, as generic as they come when it comes to foils, especially in regards to how families act. Thankfully, Reptil's abilities manifesting in creative ways always helps. Besides it looks like there's going to be a big family gathering in the coming final issue.
Beto and his cousins escape Dinosaur World with ease, ready to leap right into Scooby Doo-ing the antagonist. They solve a few plot mysteries before the big bad appears and obligingly connects the rest of the dots; then everybody breaks for a breather before the final confrontation. In my opinion, this story has solid, workable developments for both plot and character, but those developments just aren't presented with strong storytelling skills. It's a little too earnest, a little too clumsy to get more than an "adequate" rating from me.
I'm really having trouble with this one. It's a competent series, but I just do not care about these characters. Their problems are too common within comics for me to care about them. Sorry.
This may be the worst-written book in comics right now, but it IS the worst-selling book at Marvel!
