The Villain reviewed Wonder Woman #2 Jul 13, 2016

jacksword reviewed Super Mutant Magic Academy #1 Jul 17, 2016
Each page of Super Mutant Magic Academy rotates nicely between just pure light fun humor and gags, existential crisis jokes, melancholic moments about the anxiety of life, and just pure weird surrealism creating a one of a kind collection of serialized web comics.

SuperMutant Magic Academy, which Jillian has been serializing online for the past four years, deftly plays superhero and high school Hollywood tropes against what adolescence is ...

The structure of using parallel stories of Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor before they meet is intriguing while never really giving any great insight into the characters. Fortunately, that structure payoff when the stories merge, earning its' tragic ending. That last couple of pages made me look forward to the upcoming issues, despite art that really didn't capture my imagination as much as the othe more

Action, Action and more action!! I love how the kids had a moment to shine for a bit before the engine of action revved up again. I'm loving the Art and Coloring of Immonen and VonGrawbadger. It's sleek and bright what a universal trot should be. And Millar just knows how to make a story exciting. Can't wait for next issue.
