Briton reviewed Letter 44 Vol. 1: Escape Velocity Apr 2, 2020
The ridiculous make up of the astronaut team put me off from the start. This just would not happen. And the utterly crap art put the cap on it. I won't bother with the rest of this series.
On Inauguration Day, newly elected President Stephen Blades hoped to tackle the most critical issues facing the nation: war, the economy, and a failing health care system. But in a letter penned by the outgoing President, Blades learns the truth that redefines "critical": seven years ago, NASA discovered alien presence in the asteroid belt, and kep...
Briton rated Something is Killing the Children #6 Mar 29, 2020
Erica may have slayed the beast terrorizing Archer's Peak, but the town is far from safe. As James recuperates from the horrible events of the last issue, Tommy also struggles to find his place in the new status quo of his life
Disappointingly average. Dropped.

Briton reviewed Snotgirl #15 Mar 15, 2020
Surely it doesn't take seven months to publish a comic? If the creators show no commitment to their product, I'm damned if I will. The unprofessional comment on the last page of this issue just sums up their attitude. Dropped.

Very entertaining.

Great stuff and very enjoyable, not matter what the "professional" reviewers say.
Olympian, Elon, and Kirby rush to stop the invading force. The world burns. A reckoning begins.
Briton reviewed Mirka Andolfo's Mercy #1 Mar 10, 2020
Well, it looks great. But the story line (think Walt Disney with added sex and violence) is far from original.
SERIES PREMIERE! When the placid mining village of Woodsburgh is disturbed by a series of brutal murders, the settlement is in turmoil. And as the first snow covers the chaos in a white blanket, a mysterious woman in black arrives, eliciting a totally different kind of unrest. But who is Lady Hellaine, really?

Briton reviewed Lady Mechanika: Sangre #5 Mar 5, 2020
This series has not been the best Lady M series, and it limps to its predicable conclusion here.

Briton reviewed Dragonfly & Dragonflyman #4 Mar 5, 2020
The artwork is really great, but the storylines lack the punch of 'The Wrong Earth'.
With Stinger grounded at the Bughouse, Dragonfly is left alone to face the brute force of Kaktus! Meanwhile, on Earth Alpha, Dragonflyman puts his life in the hands of his sidekick who controls his fate with the push of a button - literally! PLUS! An assortment of prose and illustrations to entertain and astonish.
Briton reviewed The Dollhouse Family #4 Mar 5, 2020
The first two issues were so great, but the decline has set in big time. We now have a ludicrous story which is more interested in attacking the white male than in the formerly interesting characters. Have we had a single positive white male in this tale? DC just cannot stay away from its divisive political agenda and identity politics. Dropped.
Alice's worst nightmare has come true: the Dollhouse has returned...and if it can't have her, it'll settle for her daughter! And as horrible as her prior experiences with the House have been, they're nothing compared to what it's been able to come up with after 20 years of waiting...

The visions through Daisy's prosthetic eye are getting stronger-and it's getting harder every day to resist their call. When a mysterious puzzle shows up on Daisy's doorstep, will it provide the answers she's looking for, or only draw her deeper into the world of the Red Mother?

Briton reviewed Legion of Super-Heroes #4 Feb 21, 2020
This crap will never make the grade and this version of the LSH will join all the other reboots in the dustbin of history. The art is quite good though.

The secret origin of the Legion of Super-Heroes revealed! Exactly how did this ragtag group of idealistic, super-powered teens from all across the galaxy find each other?

Safe to say that in Gideon Falls, when you find a deep, dark lake, it's best not to drink the water. A lesson that Angie and Norton learn the hard way.
