Screaming Enigma's Profile

While it doesn't do a whole lot in terms of really advancing the story, there's just enough to keep me just about as intrigued as I was with the first issue. Really great art from Phillips here, in particular. He really got to shine here, especially with a lot of this issue's second half featuring little-to-no dialogue.

I liked it a lot as a single issue, but we really need to get going, particularly considering that this is ending in four issues. It feels like so much has been introduced and built without enough time to get it all wrapped up by the time #24 hits stands. Hopefully I'm wrong, but I have a feeling I won't be, unfortunately. In any case, while Messina's art wasn't my favorite here, I did largely lik e Hickman's writing.more

It's still on the slower side, but I do enjoy the majority of it. The fight between T'Challa and Z'non was pretty fun, and I did largely like the sections with Killmonger. I wish we could have seen a little more of his interaction with Khonshu and Ra in the jail cell, but I appreciated what we got.

Really solid issue here, though I do wish we got more of Shang-Chi, especially with him being front-and-center in the solicitation and on the cover. That said, She-Hulk was, genuinely, awesome in this issue. The ending, especially, was fantastic, and I'm hoping we get a confrontation between them in the future.

While I did enjoy this for what it was, I'm hoping the next issue changes things up from Miles meeting someone from this universe and almost getting Billie before she gets taken away. Scharf's art was pretty solid, though, but, yeah, really hoping we don't get the same formula in #4.

It's pretty solid, but also a title that continues to be a bit underwhelming when in comparison to Spider-Man, Ultimates, and even Wolverine right now. I really enjoy Momoko's art in just about every issue, but the story is a bit on the weaker side. I liked a good amount of what we got, though this did feel more like a breather issue with some teases of what's to come in future issues.

First and foremost, fantastic interiors (and cover) from Cappuccio. One of my favorite artists in the game right now and he consistently proves why with just about every issue he works on. That said, this was a good issue. Not a whole lot happens, but we do get two fairly big deaths, which are both unfortunate. Though, I thought Angel looked great, and I'd really like to see him show up again at s ome point.more

Very interesting premiere. A lot of intriguing things happening here. Jenkins does a really nice job of setting the scene and giving enough information for this to be interesting, but holding back enough for there to be a good amount to be explored in the rest of the book. Rosado does a really nice job with the interiors, as well. Looking forward to the rest of the miniseries.

Good stuff. I rated all three of the Next Level launches from this week the same score, but I do think this might be my favorite of the group. I probably would have rated this higher, but I'm not the biggest fan of some of the humor throughout this. It seems like Young really likes those type of jokes where the sentence is overly long for comedic effect. I don't know if I explained that the best w ay, but the point is that some of the humor just didn't land for me, while other parts did. Corona's art was really nice throughout, though, and I do think this team on Lobo has potential. I also really like the concept of the mega corporation trying to cash in on antiheroes. Despite my issues with this book, I'm definitely still interested enough to keep on going with it.more

Really solid start, but I will say that I was hoping for more. Fleecs does a solid job writing this, but it's far from anything I've never seen before. The potential is there for this to get really good, but this, on it's own, was just a pretty solid book and nothing more, in my opinion. Even if a lot of this is really familiar, Fleecs still presents it in a way that I can enjoy and appreciate. Al l of that said, I thought Giandomenico's art was, honestly, great throughout this and I think it was the best part of this issue.more

A nice start, although I must say I was hoping for more. Rucka and DaNi is a duo that I feel had a lot of promise and I do still think this has a lot of potential to become better than what it is here. That said, this was a bit slow, without much being established. Perhaps this might work better if it were placed at a different point in the series, though I did like it overall. Rucka does a nice j ob making the dialogue intriguing, though I do have some problems with the art. I really like DaNi's style, but, as of now, I'm not completely sold on it suiting a superhero book well. There were multiple panels and pages where I really enjoyed her work, but there were others (notably the scenes with more motion/action) that I didn't find to be as strong, unfortunately. All of that said, though, I liked this overall and I do feel there's potential for this to become something great.more

Pleasantly surprised by this one. I don't think I've read anything by either Humphries or Borges prior to reading this, so I really had no basis for expectations going in. That said, Humphries did a pretty good job here, in my opinion. Nothing groundbreaking, but we get a solid mystery, along with some pretty well-done character interactions for Jessica with Luke Cage and Typhoid Mary, respectivel y. The former was especially a tense read. Also, Borges impressed me with his interiors here. Sure, there are still things that can be improved upon, but this was still a pretty solid outing for him. Actually looking forward to the next issue.more

Very glad to say that I liked this even more than the first issue. Honestly, a great read here. This time around, we get to know two human protagonists, in Cara and Rabbit, as they encounter Poke. Camp did a great job quickly establishing the dynamic between the mother and daughter, while also giving a good amount of emotional weight for them. Additionally, Morian, once again, gives us some really nice pages. I especially enjoyed the last few. Really looking forward to what's next, now that we've gotten one zombie-focused issue and one human-focused issue.more

A pretty solid start here. Condon provides just enough for this to stay interesting throughout, and I really enjoyed the art from Phillips here. This did a really nice job establishing everything before getting into the meat & potatoes. Love that this has to do with Greek Mythology, also, as I've always had an interest in it since I was younger (thanks Poptropica).
