daddyT reviewed Star Wars Tales: Krrsantan #1 Jun 9, 2022

from a base of 6, this gets a rating of: 6.
-1 because: if only Tom King could tell a story without trying to be so surreal all the time

both the art and story took a serious dive this issue.
from a base of 6, this gets a rating of: 3.
-2 because: yep.. Harley can do all that.. right. this is stupid.

Psycamorean reviewed The Silencer #10 Oct 25, 2018
There so much plot convenience in this story. Things happen how they do because these are the easiest and most cliché to write.
The Silencer finds herself in a deadly showdown with a pair of killers-Quietus and Gunn-as well as a giant kaiju monster at a Superman theme park! (No refunds given, park-goers.) If she can shoot her way out of that trouble, she'll still have to track down Talia's body before Leviathan can resurrect her. Of course, them being a secret evil criminal...
I agree with a lot of that, but.. it certainly seems "original" for Raze not to simply kill Wishbone for having failed. We've seen that a billion times. This was done differently - this "bad guy" team operating with honor and like family or a "good guy team" would. that was interesting and different.
daddyT reviewed The Silencer #10 Oct 29, 2018
from a base of 6, this gets a rating of: 8.
+1 because: I actually like the Talia/Wishbone/Raze team a bit...

from a base of 6, this gets a rating of: 9.
+1 because: Stepan is SO GOOD
+2 because: these 'released worlds from Colu' stories could be very interesting
Cyborg, Starfire, Green Lantern Jessica Cruz and Azrael debate whether so-called "God of Evil" Darkseid should have joined the team. (Too late-that evil horse has left the barn!) But before the team can resolve this conflict, they're forced into action when Vril Dox takes an interest in the Coluan refugees, attacking their ship with a new Manhunter...

incredibly stupid. so.. your wife and son left in a hurry one night to go into outer space against your wishes... you lost contact with them.. they've been gone for months and now the wife is back without the kid and doesn't even tell you... because she just wants to write?
