This was good. Nothing groundbreaking, but Johns writes well and there are some really powerful moments scattered throughout. I like how Lex Luthor is written here, even at a young age. Frank's art is solid.

Cool setup. Snyder introduces us to a neo-noir, part apocalyptic/part cyberpunk world where people can use filters called veils to change the way they see the world around them. It's an interesting concept and well-written, but the real star is Francis Manapul's art. The colours are vibrant, and the way he draws the different veils partially covering the panels is really cool. Looking forward to d more

Avanvolk reviewed We Called Them Giants OGN Apr 18, 2025
What a beautiful story. I can't decide whether I would've liked it to be a 5-6 issue mini or if it worked better as an OGN, but either way, this was a harrowing yet heartwarming apocalyptic tale featuring superb writing from Gillen and some absolutely stunning artwork from the hyper-talented Stephanie Hans. It was a relatively quick read, but it's the kind of story that sticks with you after you f more

Avanvolk reviewed Ascender #18 Apr 17, 2025
I don't know man...I thought this ending was a little anti-climactic. It felt too rushed, and there were loose ends that weren't properly tied up. I also had a problem with the fact that Mila reacted to seeing Effie, but not Andy. Like...as far as she knew, Andy was dead too, but she only hugs her Mom? Seems weird. Nguyen's art was also at its weakest in this final issue unfortunately...it seemed more
