Reptil #4 closes out this mini-series on a compelling depiction of empowerment via Mexican Pride. The way the art communicates with both the characters and the reader make this series something to remember. Read Full Review
Reptil truly surprised me, and it showcased just how great this hero and his mythology can be, so fingers crossed we don't have to wait too long before we get to see back in action. Read Full Review
I would recommend this one if you are a fan of dinosaurs and action or like stories with younger characters. It is set in the extended Marvel universe and Spider-Girl does get a mention at one point but I am not sure who is going to make an appearance in the story going forward. Read Full Review
Throughout this series, Humberto's character history isn't just acknowledged, it's expanded on in realistic ways that make the title feel so completely natural. Read Full Review
Reptil defeats his nemesis in a festival showdown. The conflict and its resolution are simple but thoroughly entertaining. The dialogue prior to the fight gets very verbose and expository, but it does so in order to make good points. I appreciate that this issue makes sure every Chekhov's gun primed in #1 goes off. This is still just a high-average comic for me, but I do recognize that some of the verbosity probably stems from editorial meddling. I think even in 2021 nobody plans for a series to get just 4 issues; this was probably a case of premature cancellation. And if it is, the author did a decent job of making sure he still hit all the points he wanted to.
This wasn't a good finale. Everything felt slow, yet rushed. This needed another issue maybe, or maybe just a better pace and a more focused outline. I don't know why Marvel has a sudden interest in Reptil, but I hope the next time he gets a starring role, the creators are more adept.
