Chris Y reviewed G.I. Joe #15 Dec 3, 2025
9.5

I know I criticised Jordie Bellaire's monochromatic coloring in the past, but in this issue it works perfectly, summoning up a fever dream reminiscent of a 1980s post-apocalyptic action movie. It's gritty and glowing in the most fucked-up way possible. Love it!

Chris Y reviewed Nova: Centurion #1 Nov 19, 2025
6.0

The art by Alvaro Lopez looks amazing, but it's Jed MacKay on writing, which usually means bad dialogue, illogical plot points and pacing issues. Nova: Centurion probably has all three, but the story is so boring and unengaging, I stopped paying attention to whatever cosmic shenanigans are happening and just enjoyed the art. It's really a shame, since Lopez invokes some classic superhero goodness more

Chris Y reviewed Hyde Street #9 Sep 24, 2025
9.0

Another masterfully written story. It's hard to criticize Francis Portela's art, as it is absolutely perfect, but I think it might be a little too pretty and clean for Hyde Street. I can't help but wonder what the issue would have looked like illustrated by regular artist Ivan Reis.

Chris Y - Nov 5, 2025 (edited)

I can see your point. It's a matter of personal taste. I wasn't an initial fan of Reis's either, but his artwork grew on me pretty fast. I don't see too much similarity to Adams - but even if there was, why shouldn't it work? Very few artists reinvent the wheel completely.

George - Nov 6, 2025

For me Reis is an excellent artist with a classic style. I think this title needs someone that can do creepy. Best comparison I can think of is Romita versus Ditko.
