The first issue of UnChosen is solid, lets start with that.
After reading it you kind of have to decide if this is a story that actually appeals to you or not. The concept isn't new, the art looks good, the action is exciting but not to much,... But is good, good enough?
Imo it would hurt to buy issue #2 and see if the story levels up to a no brainer subscription. Expectation more

Pursued by rival forces wielding incredible powers, she must discover who truly wants to help her, who wants to control her, and the truth behind her own mysterious past.Acclaimed creator DAVID MARQUEZ (Uncanny X-Men, Miles Morales) makes hi...
To be honest, I bought the Ferreyra for the cover art and it turns out to be a really nice comic issue! Of course the art is amazing, just as expected, but the story really gets you in the end. Happy to have this one in the collection.
THE DEVOURER OF WORLDS BATTLES THE SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE!
GALACTUS roams the cosmos in search of sustenance he extracts from thriving planets, leaving them as dying husks. GHOST RIDER, Johnny Blaze, punishes souls who are deemed worthy of vengeance. What happens when these two powers collide? Find out when superstar artist JUAN FERREYRA joi...
This was a far shot and in general it had some good elements. Like the pace is nice and easy to read but I couldn't get myself through the art style and I couldn't connect to the story or with the characters. Which is in my opinion a must in a first issue...

Did Chip Z. just got me into reading Captain America??? I honestly never thought that this would happen, but I'm along for the ride... if it stays at this (high) level. Damn you Chip XD

A masterclass setup issue with some familiar teenage stuff. The art even stepped up a little notch, guess there was still room there... simply amazing.
Very excited about this ongoing universe! The question is, why can't ASM be like this?
WAR RAGES ON IN NEW YORK CITY!
Black Cat enlists Richard Parker's aid in the Sinister Six turf war...and Spider-Man gains a surprising ally!
Rated T
A very refreshing read that deservedly gets a second print. The concept is not new new but the approach, the art, the flow is captivating and unique on its own. I strongly recommend to get your hands on this issue.

Another great issue, can't wait for more.

I didn't had much expectation and that was just fine. Its an ok read, but nothing special to mention. I think the cove art is far better than the story

When the second issue is better that the first, I'm very hopeful for the future.
The art is so amazing, can't wait for more!!
THE BEST NEW (NOT QUITE A) SUPERHERO SERIES IN THE UNIVERSE CONTINUES! Battle Beast has entered the Blood Games. This is bad news...but not for him.
My final thoughts of this mini series is: "This has to continue, this can't be the end". And this is kind of what you want after reading a series. I can't imagen not having this series in my PC.
Some remarks:
- They've took to much time between issues
- This easily could've been an 15 issue series
FINALE! THE SINISTER PLOT REVEALED!

But the twisted machinations of Mister Sinister might spell doom for them all... Don't miss the EPIC CONCLUSION of Hickman and Ribic's CROSSOVER MASTERPI...
I had high hopes for this series, but unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet my expectations. While I really appreciate the artwork, the storytelling just didn’t draw me in. After finishing it, I was left with the sense of a missed opportunity. A feeling I’ve had before with the Black Panther series.

When Jonathan Hickman writes something, you can expect a solid story in return. Prices are always a bit higher but it's just worth it. The story needs some of your reading time but its needed for a major setup. The good thing is you can enjoy it with some amazing art.
Do I want the read the next issue? hell yeah!

Wally’s back is up against the wall as the Rogues bear down on him. Can heevade capture and harness some of his newfound speed, or is he already atthe finish line?
Some storylines just work and this whole universe that JT is creating, is just flawless. I love a good setting and thank God we got a big fat first issue to get through all the killer intro's.
I'm ready to read this series from the beginning until the end and so should you.

My compliments to the chef, Jason Aaron.
Fabulous issue

Buthe operates out of a seedy lair, packed with bottled cities…cities he torturesrelentlessly, just to hear the faint chorus of screams. Who is the mysteriousBrainiac? And why is he so interested in the Last Son of Krypton?
If you're not giving this issue a 10, you're:
- simply out of your mind
- unable to read
- drunk or intoxicated
- in possession of an incomplete copy
- not wearing your glasses
- recovering from a bad break up or recently fired
- not a true comic book fan
THE SECRET ORIGIN OF MYSTERIO!
Even Kingpin knows little about the criminal in the smoky helmet...but Spider-Man's about to learn more than he bargained for!
RATED T
Yeah true, are we here for the web-slinging action and the Spider-Man/MJ drama, or just tolerating Marvel’s boldest and most iconic universe experiment? Either way, for me this is a wild ride where the emotional explosions hit almost as hard as the Green Goblin’s Pumpkin Bombs!
I would add: "disliking the lack of focus on the titular character for half of the series" as one of the main reasons why one would not give this a 10. Another one being "missing crucial conversations between main characters".
Final issue of this great and solid series.
It does end on a high but its always been the end we expected to happen. So for that reason I was secretly hoping for another twist...
One this is for sure. If it gets a second arc, I'm in!

Wooow this issue is a bomb of a read!
It has a super nice flow and pace and of course you can expect some dog/security fight action.
Trust me, you'll love every page of it and you'll crave for more.
When the mysterious floating eyeball sends one of the Rocketfeller family members to the ER, a squad of heavily armed intruders converge upon their home. The only one left to defend it? The cute, little dog Rex. Pray for the invaders…
This second issue delivers everything I had hoped for! The world building is amazing and truly enjoyable to explore as a reader.
The combination of stunning artwork, powerful emotions, and an engaging storyline makes this an exceptional series. This is definitely a series that's here to stay!

When I head Wes Craig was the artist, I stepped out of my comfort zone and read an GI Joe issue. In totality the story is not a high flyer, but the action, the colours and the art is simply amazing. Everything you want from Wes C is in this issue, solid!

Now, in a standalone silent issue from WES CRAIG (KAYA, DEADLY CLASS), Duke treks through Cobra-infested ter...
I'm going to be honest, I was biased due to a good review... so my hopes were high for this one. Sadly it didn't convert my high hopes. I was hoping for something jaw dropping but this is just a fun silly one shot without any layer of story. That is all it is, just fun brawling emptiness. And you know what, sometimes that is just all you need.
ROUND THREE: VS. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN!
Fresh from the original SECRET WARS, PETER PARKER A.K.A.

If you watched or played cyberpunk 2077, you're going to love this.
These series are fun, full of action and pretty crazy! Simply a must

With the building on lockdown, the psycho has the facilities and its occupants wired for destruction!
Finally got my hands on it and it didn't disappoint. What a great and magical first read, full of nostalgia. This series takes you back 15 years, but things have changed. Changed like, everyone grew up or old but not Peter. Its a really interesting take, just like marvel does with Daredevil, Avengers: Twilight,...

I love to be surprised at NCBD and this one got me!
There has been a lot of predator mini series lately but none of them felt like the real deal. This one does and I'm predicting this one is here to stay. In 10 years from now, new predators comic fans will find their way to this predator series and love it as we do.
