Bit of a shame as this has huge potential for an ongoing series but falls flat on its face as an Issue 1. Nice script with okay dialogue that really could have scored really high with a killer last page. The art is Marvel all over just now. The real issue with this kind of art is it really can't build tension and that again is a real shame as the lead character is awesome and with moody dark art amore
HUNT. KILL. REPEAT. In the near future, a young girl sees her family slaughtered by the deadliest and most feared hunter in the universe: a PREDATOR. Years later, though her ship is barely holding together and food is running short, Theta won't stop stalking the spaceways until the Yautja monster who killed her family is dead...or she is. Ed Brisso...
Oh for the love of!!!!! This has to be the candidate for the worst issue 1 Marvel has ever produced. The art was by numbers , the script by an idiot and if someone can please pass me an actual plot I would be grateful. I love the concept of Ghost Rider but to write it properly you really should tale it out the Marvel universe and actually bring horror to the table. This is cheap crap and I'm startmore
WHO IS THE NEW SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE? Johnny Blaze was bonded with the Spirit of Vengeance. Unwilling to be a monster, Johnny used this demon from Hell to do good as the Ghost Rider. But heroism isn't what the Rider was meant for. So who will be the new Spirit of Vengeance? And what will it mean for the Marvel Universe? Find out in this extra-sized f...
This was truly a difficult read as it hits on the levels of your mind that you seldom want to look at as it makes you an inferior version of thy true self reflection. This is adult writing for adults to ponder on long after you have closed the last page in the book. This is John as John should be written and takes my breath away and leaves me sad at how I am and how I see the world I didn't make. more
John and crew find themselves traveling west and contending with some of the tall tales that permeate the American frontier. It's here that John probes an ailing Clarice about her past run-ins with Dream's power. The sands have caused quite a stir, but just how far have they lodged themselves in the heart of the American dream?
As fun as it started it kind of lost the plot completely towards the e d and I'm none the better for actually reading this final instalment. The jokes became less and I felt that each panel was art over substance. With a much better thought out last 2 issues this could have been one of the best mini series in years. Shame really and I ultimately blame the editor as a few tweaks would really have mmore
Puff, puff, pass the gun--it's the blazing and action-packed conclusion to Kankakee's bloodsucking nightmare! Carla and friends must fight their way through a literal hive of activity if they even hope to squash the alien queen and save their hometown.
Skeeters is a comedic and gruesome story for fans of Slither, Arachnophobia, and other classi...
After a really fun ride with the first 2 issues this felt flat and mostly read like a quick filler episode. As a reader until the end I learned nothing and to be honest if I only read the last page I would have been all the better for it. This is why people are leaving comics because the writers start to write drivel to get people to buy an extra issue or two of a hot story. Time will tell but recmore
The buzz surrounding the Kankakee Seafood Festival isn't good: it's already swarming with creatures, gore, and alien goo. Carla and co. arrive with guns (and blunts) a-blazin' only to find matters can still get much, much worse.
Skeeters is a comedic and gruesome story for fans of Slither, Arachnophobia, and other classic creature features!
Issue 3 took the pacing and horror to the next level. Tight , focused writing with on point dialogue married to some of the most disturbing pallete and art that I've seen in many a year brings a comic to as close to perfect as can be. If you love horror then pick up issue 1 and give your mind over to the flames of Hell.
Months have passed since the catastrophic fire at the homeless encampment. Most of the city has moved on while Amy continues to search for the truth about the Fire Man. Her chance arrives when multiple reports of fire around the city lead Amy and Vic to come face to face with those who tend his flame.
As an old timer that loves horror and I do mean real horror then this ticks every single box ans then some more. The art is ridiculously good and the script is to die for. Both of my favourite characters from DC and lots of witty dialogue to keep me feeling all nostalgic. It's my 60th birthday today and this is one Hell of a great present. Many thanks for the years John bloody Constantine and I wimore
With the specter of mortality breathing down his neck, John heads to the Big Easy, where he enlists the skills of old friend Clarice Sackville to heal the fractured mind of Alec Holland, the Swamp Thing, and use that elemental power to kickstart his own dead heart. Perhaps she can do that--but it will require a drug-induced journey into distant rea...
Reviewing this issue as a stand alone issue is difficult for me as I've never read Poison Ivy and only really seen her in Batman movies up till this point. The writing and art just made me enjoy each page as the story unfolded. As origins go this has the makings of making me into a Poison Ivy fan and that is worth the admission fee on its own.
A STORY DECADES IN THE MAKING! Long has her tale been told by others, but witness for the first time--in intimate detail--the one true secret origin of Poison Ivy, as revealed by the viridescent villainess herself. The GLAAD Media Award-winning team of writer G. Willow Wilson and artist Marcio Takara reunites to tell this heartbreaking and historic...
I don’t like spoilers as a review should give a verdict without going into the actual substance in detail but on this occasion I have to say from start to finish it was a long chase with lots of monologue that literally had me wondering if there was a point to this story at all. The art in parts was okay and at others awful and some of the dialogue was absurd. He’s Legion of Hell not some Jokemore
Framed for murder by the demonic Legion, Father Vieri must survive a deadly chase through the streets of Rome in order to escape the Inquisition. But as he possesses Vieri's body, Legion unveils terrifying new ways to spread his corruption across the Vatican. Can Vieri find a way to turn the tables on the unholy adversary that wears his face? Or wi...
I love the mystery that’s unfolding in nearly every panel and then brought to life with a soft color palette that oozes of the pages. As a second issue the pace slows done but the intrigue takes its place and leaves a wash of anticipation on the reader. This is intelligent horror on a grand scale and I look forward to being drawn into the fires.
Vic's dreams of the Fire Man are becoming more and more real, but he refuses to admit to Amy what he saw in the flames. Meanwhile, Amy is searching for her friend who was nearly lost to the blaze, but there's something Patricia Lefeu isn't saying about Hope's House. Secrets spread nearly as quickly as fire in this town...
As a massive fan of Darkwing Duck this made my day. It’s charming and funny and leaves me smiling which is never a bad thing. Nice intro to Justice League Ducks and hopefully this wonderful comic will return as there is so few all age comics on the shelf theses days. The best writers in the world can make a 4 year old laugh and a 60 year old as well so hats of to Amanda Deibert for pulling of thmore
Darkwing and The Justice Ducks must race to free Launchpad from an underwater Ducklantian prison. All that's stopping them is the definitely-not-real-except-hang-on-maybe-it's-totally-real-half-duck-half-fish MERDUCK!
I really loved the first part of the story and unfortunately it really kind of dipped away a little bit at the end. Wonderful idea and with a tighter script to go with the charming art this could be a great comic for all ages
Darkwing Duck Is Teaming Up - Whether He Likes It or Not!
Foes of evil! Enemies of injustice! To the mighty heroes of the JUSTICE DUCKS, all bad guys are a total bummer and must be taken down - even if said bad-o's are from OUTER SPACE!
In this thrilling maiden issue: Flying saucers descend from the skies, to (maybe) wreak (possib...
The thing that makes Spawn really Spawn for me is the wonderful art that came from real talent and this is unfortunately where it goes seriously wrong as the art is like digital painting by numbers. The script is all over the place not helped in anyway by the art but what really got up my nose was the dialogue that was woefully written. I look forward to issue 350 and hopefully I can put this stormore
The final battle for the Throne of Hell begins now!
This is seriously one of the best fun comics on any market place just now. Outstanding writing and seriously well crafted script that lets the artist let rip with panel after panel of genius. I said in my review of issue 1 this could make a Netflix sensation and issue 2 makes me think that it really should. Character development will be key to the long term success of this comic but for me so far more
Carla, JJ, and Luis battle their way through more bugs, bigger bugs, weird creatures, and gallons of gore. Unfortunately for them and the rest of Kankakee, Virginia, things continue to get weirder. Nothing a shotgun, a handgun, and some blunts can't solve, right?
Skeeters is a comedic and gruesome story for fans of Slither, Arachnophobia, and o...
If this was my last ever version of John Constantine then I would be a very happy old man. Without spoilers all I can really say is great writing and wonderful art all wrapped up in a story that makes me smile from ear to ear. Give yourself a winter treat and delve into Occult the way it should be.
At last, as you demanded: The celebrated creative team of Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell have returned to Hellblazer! John Constantine has cheated death once again-but his heart’s not beating, his body is decaying, and he, his friend Nat, and his son Noah are on the run in America, wanted for murder. Naturally, it’s all John’s fault-it always...
I loved both issue 1 and 2 but this left me seriously cold. The writing was of a standard that made me question if the same writer actually wrote this and some of the art was also in places coloured by a different hand. I do understand that small independent comic companies do suffer a lot from quality control at times but nobody wants to pay good money for rushed sloppy work.
With the future of the Vatican in dire peril, the demonic Legion has gleefully turned the Curia against itself. But following his harrowing escape from captivity, Father Vieri returns to Rome with a dangerous plan to retrieve his stolen body - a plan that will force him to create an all-new identity to capture the Devil. With the mysterious Iscario...
This was a seriously fun story that highlighted Hal as the Green Lantern that I grew up with. Add in some of the best art I’ve seen in many a year and you get a brilliant package.
As Hal Jordan is swallowed by the nightmare wave, Earth’s Green Lantern shows this new malevolent threat what a man with the willpower to overcome fear can do. Meanwhile, as Sinestro grapples with the terrifying new dreamscape he’s trapped in, we take a psychological roller coaster ride through his darkest fears-and most painful regrets.
I actually have no idea where to start with this comic as I’m not even sure if i actually liked it or hated it. The story itself was a little on the flimsy side but the character development was so strong that it kind of made the story irrelevant anyway. This kind of comic is seriously not my thing and I am going to be honest I bought it to slate it and in the end it won me over. I suppose a gremore
A POWERFUL TALE OF ALAN SCOTT'S EARLY DAYS AS GREEN LANTERN! Alan Scott's early days as the Green Lantern are seen in a new light! The Green Lantern is the most powerful member of the JSA, beloved by all of America, but his personal life is a well-kept secret. This is a story about love, about fear, and most of all about courage to stand up to that...
Awesome cover and nice story that feels a bit weird considering the main story is only 2 issues gone??? DC sometimes confuses me with all these crossovers that really screw up the main feature. I wish someone would make these crossovers a separate theme that doesn’t make me need to read about 60 comics to get nowhere. Anyway rant aside I enjoyed it so worth the admission price.
Back in space to face his greatest fear! Something is wrong in Sector 2814, and Hal Jordan, Kilowog, and a few other Lanterns must find the mysterious disturbance, despite a ban on any of Earth’s Green Lanterns leaving their world. What they discover is a planet controlled by a familiar face-the face of Hal’s greatest fear! And in a backup stor...
Great second issue that started brilliantly and faded just a little towards the end in both writing and art but as a second issue it added enough to keep me enjoying story and that’s good enough for me. The back up story is stunning as that is in my head John Stewart’s voice…short , sharp and I love it.
Hal Jordan's homecoming is off to a rocky start! Carol Ferris is this close to firing him from the job he's only just begged his way into, his power ring isn't exactly working right, and off in the shadows, Sinestro, the architect of Hal's current crisis, is waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Plus, the hard-hitting John Stewart: War Journal ...
This comic is an absolute mess of writing , dialogue and even the art looks layered and rushed. Sorry DC but after a really 1st class issue No 1 it’s been a down hill slog of dreadful dialogue. The problem of real dialogue which is either internal or external is that it must actually make sense to the reader or like me results in a loss of interest and a dropping of the book completely. Sorry tomore
After the arrival of the Stillness last issue, the alien speedsters begin traveling around the world, with Max Mercury watching their every move. Meanwhile, Wally encounters another former foe who's gotten a major upgrade--the Folding Man--while entering a new location beyond time called the Gallery...what hidden truths does this place hold for the...
This comic suffered the issue 2 syndrome that really should have been eliminated years ago by something called a good editor. The art was top notch and for me gets a 10/10 but all the lovely points that started in issue 1 were all but ignored for the sake of driving the main story along. Some of the dialogue was pretty poor and it felt to me that the best bits of the comic were left on the cuttingmore
As Wally West faces massively powered-up old foes as well as a new, mysterious being, he encounters a group of alien explorers who are very interested in Wally's powers (which continue to glitch). Also, something seems to be literally bubbling up in Keystone City, as the new era for the Scarlet Speedster continues! New Character Debut: THE STILLNES...
I’ve read some great , bad , awful and utterly pointless comics since I picked up my very first comic lying in bed with a chest infection all the way back in 1968 but this issue for me highlighted why all these decades later I’m still in love with comics. This is some of the best writing and art anywhere just now and if this is where DC comics are pushing the medium in the future then count memore
WALLY WEST RACES TOWARD THE FUTURE WITH ALL-STAR NEW CREATIVE TEAM SI SPURRIER AND MIKE DEODATO JR.! Wally West has never been quicker, more fulfilled, more heroic. His loving family is around him. And yet something is off. Very off. His evolving understanding of his powers has opened Wally to new avenues of sci-fi adventure and attuned his senses ...
This story is so disjointed that each month I keep hoping all the loose threads will simultaneously come together but alas I’m starting to fear not. As a story the Dead Zones can never be accessed by either Heaven or Hell as the portals are one way mirrors and only thy true reflection of self could come through and go back. Sorry but when you write a large scope Heaven vs Hell story that gets thmore
The race for the Throne of Hell is reaching its climax. New alliances have been made and old promises have been broken...
The main story was fun , charming and harks back to when I read comics all those decades ago. Great script and fantastic art really hits all the high notes for a catch up with a great character. The back up story is short and really hits a home run in so few pages. This is how comics should be written and drawn.
Spinning out of the events of Dark Crisis, the Guardians of Oa at the heart of the Green Lantern Corps have quarantined Sector 2814, home of the planet Earth-and its champion along with it! A heartbreaking defeat has sent Hal reeling, returning home to rediscover his roots...and find the man responsible for ruining his life: Sinestro. From the visi...
After the first 2 issues I was really expecting a bit of a drop in quality and a slow down of story but thankfully this team have kept everything boiling along nicely with lovely art and making John into a great son as well as our hero…..Can’t find fault with this at all and that is me at my happiest!!!!!
John Stewart has had his first battle with a deadly new adversary and is infected by the Radiant Dead! Will his powers help slow the spread of this supernatural contagion, or are they transforming him into the most terrifying host imaginable? And who is the powerful young Green Lantern from within the Multiverse, Lantern Shepherd?
I just love the take on John Stewart. Great writing and lovely art that tells a story simply yet adds layers to the sub plots. It’s the kind of super hero comic that harkens back to the writing of the 60’s but spins it up into 2060. More please.
DISCOVER THE SHOCKING IDENTITY OF THE REVENANT QUEEN! As John Stewart travels to Metropolis to meet with Steelworks, the Radiant Dead have claimed their first victim on Earth-0 and are ravenously hunting for John. Stripped of his ring and unaware of the danger he's in, John is caught completely unprepared to face this otherworldly horror...and to u...
This was my highlight of the week from DC and I’m in for the long haul. Great art , fabulous script and couple that with a heart breaking moment that makes comics so so cool. This is should be on every comic book pile for the reason that comic book pile’s exist……Awesome
JOHN STEWART RETURNS IN AN EPIC NEW SERIES FROM THE PAGES OF GREEN LANTERN! John Stewart's time as a Green Lantern has come to an end...or so he thinks. A family tragedy calls him back home, and as John begins to reclaim the career he once left behind, he tries to embrace a peaceful post-superhero life. But when a terrifying and contagious force wi...
The star so far is Dracula as his voice and manner are close to perfection. The story is seriously getting repetitive and the art is getting worse by the issue. It is starting to feel rushed and a bit of an editorial disaster. Sorry but it’s a crying shame as this story really had some promise at the start and I’m now wondering if it can be brought to a satisfactory conclusion???
As Dracula strives to save Vampirella from the dark fate that has cursed him, the crew of a crippled Eastern European submarine finds themselves trapped between the U.S. Navy hunting them from above and an enraged, bloodthirsty Vampirella hunting them on board!
Biggest let down for me this issue was the art that looked rushed , sloppy and didn’t really do the script much justice. It must be difficult for a writer and especially one like Priest that puts a lot of his own ego into his books to have an artist that for want of a better word is sloppy with the story telling. Hopefully it’s just a minor blip as the story in itself is good and I like Priestmore
When a big-box retailer announces that it's abandoning a small-town location after driving all of the local stores out of business, residents stage a demonstration against the callous destruction of their region's economy. But their lock-in protest takes a dark turn when the townsfolk realize they've trapped themselves inside the warehouse-sized st...
