There are a lot of attempts out there to introduce a what-if scenario for comic book characters entering the real world, but Donny Cates seems like he has something he wants to say with this series, so it may be worth checking out after all.

Erica is going rogue and I love it. This secret organization seems to be as terrible as the monsters it slays.

Mark Russell's decision to make everything out of crystal is both hilarious and apropos. Not only does it parody Superman lore, but this gem of a comic acts as a mirror held up to reveal our society's own reflection. It's a shame that literary truth can be a little too much for certain readers to handle.

A seductive cyberpunk world, very reminiscent of 2000 AD's Mega-City One. The artwork, especially the colors, are bold and unapologetic. The downside is that the colors tend to hurt me eyes, I'm glad the creators at least chose to go with a newsprint stock that's not glossy.

The plot is as bare bones as you can get, I'm assuming it is meant to lead into the film (which I haven't seen). But the artwork is so gorgeous that is speaks for itself and needs very little plot to keep the reader engaged; this transforms what might otherwise be a liability into a strength.

Very good. I'd like to see more from this world with this same political commentary and less focus on giving one-word names to specific power sets. I could be mistaken, but the Resistance Reborn doesn't look like it's going in this direction.

The revolution in the Ukraine is amazing, another good issue.

With that said, I've decided that I really don't like the layout style that uses extra gutters for no reason; they're just distracting, busy, and serve no purpose. They're awful, let's move beyond this gimmick, please.

I like that we've brought back the bots from the Valentine's Day Special back into the fold, it makes a lot of sense considering that this issue focuses on relations with organic species. I like the reflection on how the Transformers interpret thing differently because of their extreme longevity. But, in the end, do we really need another series? I'm guess this series will focus on off-world adventures, so maybe it will turn out to be worthwhile. more

So... the robot just scanned the Delorean's flux capacitor and can now time travel? Provided the reader suspend disbelief for this, isn't that a plot point ripe for abuse?

Things are picking up as more Norse mythology takes over.

Not bad, I'm just not finding anything particularly noteworthy here, that's all.

A team of healers saving Death, the concept alone here is brilliant.

I wasn't sure what to expect with the ending, but I'm very satisfied with it.

I'm pleased to report that this is dope.

I'm going to take a wild guess here that Elon Musk's doppelgänger is playing the long con with Aric.

Interesting, I didn't know about this third type of tengu before now.

The artwork is charming, as are the characters. The main problem is that this is rather slow in building to where it wants to go. It could very easily be worth the build-up, it's just difficult for me to say at this point. At least it's better than the Eternals comic that came out this same week from Marvel to rave reviews.

This was my introduction to the Eternals and I found myself mostly lost, even though this issue is striving to give a tour of the different eternal domains. I'm sure I could get up to speed eventually, with enough issues, but I'm really just not interested. It looks like this book was made for existing fans, which is fine, but not for me.

Ribic's art is mostly good, with the notable exception of Sprite, who is apparently supposed to look like she is eternally eleven-years-old, but her face looks at least sixty. more

This book is really hitting it's stride, and a grey ghost appearance is always welcome. I also like this toned down version of Harley Quinn much more than the overly-zany, Deadpoolesque version I've seen in her solo books.

Other than some wonky drawings in the opening fight scene, the artwork is tightening up. The tea thing is stupid, but I like how evident the relationship between Neo Joker and Ivy is communicated through their body language in the artwork without the need to say a word about it. That's comic book artistry at it's best.

The artwork is reminiscent of the previous White Knight titles, but a bit rougher around the edges. I'm not sure that this will live up to White Knight's high bar, but the characters are all here and the story shows promise.

Oh crap, Aric's going to work this this Elon Musk clone? My condolences buddy.

The comedian and the man on death row used as a guinea pig are actually more interesting and memorable that the people that are becoming the main characters. What this comic lacks most of all is focus. Concentrating on this weird hive-minded resistance-cult seems to be the way forward, but we probably should have spent more time making them interesting.

A Garth Ennisesque approach to how this world with newly born superheroes is developing. The authoritarian government is relying on the private sector to keep tabs on these superheroes and it ends up looking very similar to our world's industry for social media influencers.

I enjoyed the previous, 2019 run, and I'm happy to see that Ash is back in this one as a complicated figure, but ultimately a force for good.

There's no way the planet's natives would survive the entire planet crystalizing. And why does Spinister show up? I thought the whole point of sending Ultra Magnus here was because of how dangerous it is.

This Ultra Magnus is very different from the one I know and love from the previous IDW timeline, so this is going to take some getting used to.

The end is weird, Magnus seems intent to resist until his comrade validates this choice and encourages it... at which point Ultra Magnus immediately capitulates. What a jerk, lol.

I like the pace that this series is written in, however out does mean that relatively little happens per issue. I'm patient though, so I'm cool with it.

Another peek inside this monster-hunting organization adds some extra intrigue.

Wow, I recognize this tengu from an older story but I didn't know Usagi had tengu training.
