Stargate Pioneer reviewed Trinity #1 Sep 25, 2016
9.0

This was a great title to bring back the reason for Rebirth. What exactly is going on? There's something not right with what happened and these three (and Flash and Hal Jordan, etc) need answers. What a great companion to Justice League and hopefully will brng about more of the foundation Rebirth story and answers that we were all hoping for when Rebirth launched.

Stargate Pioneer reviewed Justice League #5 Sep 25, 2016

I enjoyed seeing the team work together. There were a LOT of unanswered questions but seeing the Justice League members trying to work everything out without knowing what they were up against was something an everyday person would do, and it humanized the League to me. Plus it left a ton of doors open for the future. Although it does seem like the Earth took a heck of a beating with Trillion of do more

Stargate Pioneer reviewed Green Lanterns #6 Sep 25, 2016
8.5

This issue is perhaps the strongest in the series with Simon and Jessica really taking off as a Superhero Team. The Rage of the last few issues is addressed both in terms of combating it and what it was really for. Plus the two finally meet the little Blue Man and figure out what he's up to. I do question where this story falls in relation to Justice League (especially with what Bleez is up to) as more

Stargate Pioneer reviewed Aquaman #6 Sep 8, 2016
9.0

I might have even gone higher in my rating than a 9. This was Aquaman putting his stake in the ground and holding his own against Big Blue. He continues to state how others perceive him (both int he comic and for the reader simultaneously) while directing and leading like a true King. I loved some of the one-liners in this issue and have been overall pleased (surprisingly so) with the series. This more

I'm enjoying this issue with quick cuts between the superheros current place and status and the rapid paced action. This series remains solidly in my pull list and I'm enjoying the mysteries slowly being revealed that effect the entire team. While the mortal perils are mitigated by the fact all of the characters have their own series so that we know nothing will happen to them, the joy is in seein more

Stargate Pioneer reviewed Green Arrow #6 Sep 8, 2016

As Oliver Queen faces Lian Yu again this issue turns the reader back towards Emi and her current trails while engaging the CW Arrow television show trope of using flashbacks to bring Emi and Oliver Queen back together again. The writing in this issue was engaging and the art of Stephen Byrne captures the character likeness within the scope of the previous issues in the run. I was captivated throug more

This series has been one of the All-New All-Different Marvel Universe stand-outs for me. It's one of the book that I HAVE to read before I go to sleep at night after picking up the book on my way home from the comic book store. The way Marvel has treated the death of Rhodey was almost as something that didn't really matter and made me think that James Rhodes was going to return to action soon afte more

I've not been the biggest fan of this series to date. However this issue struck gold for me. IT was the Matt Murdock and Daredevil that I personally expect. His relationship with Foggy returning to the series couldn't have come at a better time. The story was both grounded in the day to day activity of New York, blended in with the current world-wide terrigen mist crisis and the superhero mystery more

This was a great issue to me. It was well written and dealt with the Civil War II crisis again from afar and what a tragedy it really is. The Wasps bonding was amazing to watch. This series continues to deliver great content from the mysterious Vision future mission last issue to the Wasps this issue. All the while wondering just how much like Hank Pym is his daughter going to be?
