JBL Reviews reviewed Prodigy #4 Mar 19, 2019
I mean, it’s fun, but a little too much fluff.
Crane's in a tricky situation in a Damascus poker room-there are guns at his head, and two million dollars of bribe money at stake. The cash could grant him access to the ancient ruins of Palmyra, and to the secrets of the scroll. Elsewhere, a blood ritual swears a new leader into power.

Another issue with absolutely no answers, not great art and another issue I feel I could completely skip and not even realize it when issue 7 comes out. Pointless.

JBL Reviews reviewed Old Man Logan #45 Nov 25, 2018
Bullseye gets shot in the wrist and fights like it’s nothing. Falls out a two story window on his head and is generally fine? I dislike such unrealistic things. Makes it less fun to read.
/45_small.jpg)
AND FOR MY NEXT TRICK...
• Old Man Logan's good, but Bullseye? BULLSEYE'S MAGIC.
• PLUS: Someone from Bullseye's past returns to exact her revenge...a VENDETTA you'll never forget!
Parental Advisory
He doesn't "fight like it's nothing" - he does the rest of his fighting left-handed because his right is useless after it's shot. And he's not "generally fine" after falling out the window; he's so bashed up that one dude with a shotgun keeps him pinned and gets him arrested.
To me, “having to fight with one hand” is nothing. If a person is shot in the wrist, they don’t just keep on fighting. It’s fine, though, glad you liked it. I found it beyond unbelievable.
