I cringe at each joke as it lands flat...

Coates is trying something new with Space Panther, I wonder what inspired him to take this direction, it is really out of left field. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.

Loki is pulling the good guy routine again, we'll see how long this one lasts. I would have liked to see how exactly he became the sorcerer supreme; jumping straight into a concept like this works well for a short series, but it is jarring in an ongoing series that didn't even allude to such a development.

An anti-climactic ending; and throwing the flashlight was ludicrous.

John Barber takes a crack at the Sorcerer Supreme and I like the result. A traumatized girl from Stephen's past makes for a captivating villain.

The grammar errors and unearthly coincidence that lands Mulan and the other onto the boat surrounded by the bad guys leads me to believe that the creators don't really care whether this comic is any good.

This is the chance to get the perspective of a writer that escaped from the Czech-Polish border, whose great-grandfather fought for the Nazis and whose Grandfather worked for the communist secret police. We also have an artist who got out of the Balkans when it broke down into civil war. Do these qualify as "sensationalist websites?" Is a 12-part, independent comic book a "clever business move?" Those with a knee jerk reaction to this book would be well serves to ask themselves why. These two artists look at America now and see this potential darkness that they've already survived once, it's something very tangible. If you've lived here your entire life, it is easy to naively think that nothing bad will ever happen, but ask one person who lives in another country what is wrong with America and be prepared for a laundry list of responses. The setup is not so far fetched, America has a history of internment: the Japanese internment camps of WWII, the extrajudicial imprisonment and torture both alleged terrorist and innocent people in Guantanamo Bay, slave wages in private prisons, mass incarceration and over-policing of poor communities and black communities, plus of course, the immigration detention centers scattered within the country right now. America is also not immune to internal conflict such as during the McCarthy Era where Americans were encouraged to report their friends and family as dirty commies, and there was also racial segregation that lead to all sorts of revolutionary movements, violence, and injustices. Not to mention the actual Civil War. But that history doesn't seem to provided any forethought to quell the outrage that this book has sparked in certain MAGA users and at least one racist user. I guess Image should have put a trigger warning on the cover. Kot, Zeelj, keep doing your thing, if you are getting angry reviews from Briton then you know you are on the right track. more

A little slow, but I like some of Kot's work and Zezelj's art is gritty and went well with the story. I'm gonna see where this goes and I enjoyed it so I'll pry stick out the 12 issue maxi series.

This is a damn good issue. Perhaps not for the politically ignorant. I'm definitely looking forward to see where this goes.

I like the undertones and appreciate what the book is going for, it's just a bit too dense with panels, sound effects and work balloons. I think less would be more in this case.

I'm sure that I'd get more out of it if I knew a lick of Spanish, but the images tell most of the story.

The gorgeous artwork by Bengal takes us for quite the thrill ride.

The artwork is excellent but there is zero plot, mostly exposition. That's fine for a campaign book, but this is a comic. I like the extras in the back of the comic, Green Martian racial traits and stats for Radium firearms.

The story focuses more on the social effects of libertarian capitalism run amok and less so on Robocop shooting people, but I think we're ramping up to that now, based on the cliffhanger. I personally enjoy this approach, it's a bit more modern and unique, bringing something new to the franchise while staying true to its roots. Extra points for the hilarious parody of Fox & Friends.

I'm back into playing Pathfinder, but don't usually buy the comics since a finished story kind of defeats the purpose of the RPG. However, I also noticed that Jonathan Lau does the interiors and the issue comes with a small poster/map and stats for a dope Ranger archetype based on Red Sonja called the Sword-Devil. It forsakes most of what I identify rangers with, but sounds like quite a nasty little unarmored sword fighter that makes good use of charisma instead of Wisdom. I love Lau's renderings of Red Sonja, however the story is very bare bones. Expect lots of action with minimal plot. The reveal at the end could lead to something more interesting though. more

I'm curious as to why DC copped out of FCBD in favor of a 25 cent issue. As far as prologue issues go, it works quite well.

BATMAN / YOUR BIG DAY: The highlight of the book. A well executed, creepy sit-down with the Joker. Something about Tom King's Joker still doesn't land with me though. I've always like my Joker crazy, but crazy like a fox in that his insanity served a larger scheme. King's Joker just seems crazy for the sake of crazy. Mann and Bellaire's artwork is excellent, I particularly like the interesting angles used in the layouts.

SUPERMAN / OFFICE SPACE: Bendis has the character voices down but nothing hooks me plot-wise.

THE JUSTICE LEAGUE / NO JUSTICE: a decent introduction to what promises to be a crowded, unsatisfying clusterfuck. more

The main story is not bad, but the side stories with Ghost Rider, Savage Hulk, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther are boring with no apparent relation to the main plot yet.

After all that drama, Guinan's advice was pretty insubstantial, lol. Still, the plan that they do come up with and execute is pretty cool and there is something very satisfying about seeing evil Picard and his crew come out on top. The art just brings the series to the next level and I hope to see much more out of Woodward and Kirchoff in other comics.

A brief stop at space prison reveals the extent of the Pcard's subtle ruthlessness. The next issue will be the true test of his mettle given the reveal.

The action jumps in the middle when Liseth gets herself lost, it felt like a page was missing. I'm not feeling the DNA machine thing, though I do like that it reveals the skeletons in Regent Vok's closet. It would have been a much stronger issue had the reveal been less obvious.

I like the overtones in the plot. Some elements of the plot don't land well, like sparring during the exposition, it was an attempt to keep that part of the comic exciting, but I wasn't buying it. The reveal at the end is intriguing... I'm assuming Liseth isn't underage, right?

What's the perfect villain for space cops? A space lawyer! It's genius in it's simplicity and I sincerely hope that she'll be a recurring villain.

Quite the high point to end this "season" on and a smart tact for Black Panther and Storm that doens't write any future authors into any corners. I can't say I'm impressed that the series will restart the numbering at #1 again, what the hell was the point of jumping the numbering up into the hundreds then? Make up your mind Marvel. I'm guessing the unexpected success of the Black Panther film had something to do with it. more

I actually like Bulphunga and the humorous, lighthearted approach that Seeley is using. Can't wait for the next one.

I'm actually digging this so far, can't wait to see how these characters interact.

I'm actually totally fine with using the concept of this series, We'll always have the original Watchmen regardless. I enjoyed the new characters and pacing. A promising start.

Dope action, this makes me want to play D&D with these characters.

I like the chemistry that this history between Ursus and Dr. Zaius generates. And the memories of Ursus's wife also help to add dimension to his tortured soul.

The old Kick-Ass charm is here is spades with this new pseudosupervillain.

Excellent climax, and extra points for squeezing Kasper Cole.
