olliequeen reviewed Black #1 Aug 7, 2018
Look if you're a racist you won't like this book. If you live under some magical delusion that America is a place where everyone is treated equally than you probably won't like it. If you live in the real world you will see the book using superpowers to address the truth about our country. People that say the writing is bad are just racist. Both the writing and the art are excellent.
IT'S HERE! The comic that blazed through Kickstarter during Black History Month 2016.
In a world that already hates and fears them - what if only Black people had superpowers. After miraculously surviving being gunned down by police, a young man learns that he is part of the biggest lie in history. Now he must decide whether it's safer to keep...
olliequeen reviewed Lost City Explorers #1 Aug 7, 2018
So lets start with the positive the art in this book is well done. The premise while in no way unique works. That is where the good stops. The pacing is terrible. The dialog is incredibly bad. The story does not engage the reader in any way.
Lost cities aren't just the stuff of myths. They exist hidden right under our noses. But when a mysterious expedition is disrupted by supernatural activity, and an antiquities professor goes missing, his teenage daughter and her friends must become underground urban explorers, follow his tracks on a coming-of-age journey through subterranean tunnel...
olliequeen reviewed Millarworld Annual #1 Jul 29, 2016
There is some good, some OK, and some plain bad in this annual. First the Chrononauts story is excellent. It is well written and works well with the art style. The Kick-Ass story is quite good as well. It paces the turns it takes in just a few pages is worth the read. Now to American Jesus. I love this graphic novel. The art here is amazing. Unfortunately the story is not good. It barely i more

olliequeen reviewed Space Battle Lunchtime #2 Jul 29, 2016
More crap from Oni. Their editorial team has no idea what fans want. There's a reason why no one is buying this book. It is a dumb concept with poor execution.
Meet the chefs of the hit show Space Battle Lunchtime! Peony, the only contestant from Earth (and the only one who's never heard of the show before!), is having a bit of trouble with her ingredient-which comes from a planet she didn't even know existed. (Also: What is Moon Butter???) But it's the other chefs she'll need to watch out for-they'll sto...
olliequeen reviewed Space Battle Lunchtime #1 May 31, 2016
Once again Oni Press tries to be trendy and falls flat on it's face. The premise is idiotic to say the least, a cooking show in space. At no time does the reader care about the characters or the story (if you can call it that). The book is bad, and I guarantee that this series will be selling less than 1500 copies by the end of its run.
Space Battle Lunchtime is a hit show broadcast all over the universe, and the new season is about to start! When one of the competing chefs drops out at the last minute, an aspiring baker from earth, Peony, gets the opportunity of a lifetime (and a chance at a 20,000 Solarbuck prize!).

Just terrible

The Batgirl of Burnside is the name on everyones lipsbut she sure is acting strange since she took up residence in Gotham Citys outer borough! Dangerous joyrides? Photo ops? Sequins? Either Barbara Gordons gone off the deep end or theres a doppelganger under that cowl!

Yes, it's really happening!Barbara Gordon is back as Batgirl and she's going to have to face the city's most horrifying new villains as well as the dark secrets from her past. You won't want to miss this stunning debut issue from fan-favorite BIRDS OF PREY writer Gail Simone!
olliequeen reviewed Batgirl #36 Nov 14, 2014
So of course the issue starts off with shopping, because all girls just want to buy pretty things. Then of course she has clumsily fall into a boy, because that's what girls do when they meet cute boys. Batgirl apparently travels to an anime world when she fights. This comic may be geared towards girls. So they took a powerful, strong character and diminished her to a bubble-headed sexist girl more

Batgirls new life is off to a rousing start when her first day of graduate school is interrupted by twin sister assassins on motorcycles!
olliequeen reviewed Batgirl #35 Oct 14, 2014
I can't describe how absolutely terrible this comic is. We gave up Gail Simone for this. The writers apparently think we need to put Batgirl in an episode of HBOs girls. The artwork is sub-par at best. There is nothing redeeming about this. I'm probably going to cancel my subscription if it doesn't get better.

olliequeen reviewed Avengers & X-Men: Axis #1 Oct 13, 2014
The issue can't figure out what it wants to be. I normally really enjoy Remender's writing, but the dialogue in this issue is terrible. All the characters are speaking in the same voice. They all are making really bad jokes, and then try to sound forceful right before they punch something. This is such a let down after the stellar Uncanny Avengers.
ACT I: THE RED SUPREMACY
