Cube reviewed The Marvels #1 Aug 17, 2021
I understand the story building and have faith it will all come together. However, not sticking around for issues, need to wait for trades.

Cube rated Blackbird #3 Aug 17, 2021
Nina thought magic was just cool spells and hot guys. But magic turned out to be so much more. Don't miss this issue's heartbreaking cliffhanger!
Cube reviewed Captain America #25 Aug 17, 2021
This would have received a much higher rating had I read it when it first came out. You can’t keep a good man down.

Leaping from the final pages of Civil War, this is the *only place* readers can find out what happens next in the life of CAPTAIN AMERICA!
Trust us, folks, this oversized 25th issue will stun readers and send shockwaves through the entire Marvel Universe for the next year!
Cube rated Bone Parish #5 Aug 17, 2021

Cube reviewed What If?: Magik #1 Aug 16, 2021
Great narrative brought down by inconsistent artwork.
/magik_1_small.jpg)
Before she was Magik, Illyana Rasputin was just a kid whom Limbo chewed up and spit out seven years older. So it's no surprise that, at 15, she wants nothing to do with the X-Men...nothing to do with the New Mutants...and nothing to do with her own powers. It's not even surprising that she runs away... but where - and who - she ends up? Well, that'...
Cube reviewed Green Lantern #2 Aug 16, 2021
Great art but found the narrative to be quite dull. Love the lava green lantern.

Cube reviewed Gamma Flight #1 Aug 16, 2021
Was looking forward to learning these characters, but found this to be very boring.

But when the town finds itself under siege from strange monsters, it's up to intrepid girl gang of no-account teen delinquents to try and figure out what's happening-and save everyone's lives before it's too late.
Cube reviewed Barbaric #2 Aug 16, 2021
This was fun but not as good as the first issue. It lost some of the humor and was a little more serious. This is by no means a bad issue whatsoever.
More blood! More mayhem! More monsters! Will Owen storm the abbey with Soren the witch? Will axe get drunk on blood? Yes! And you're going to love it.
Cube reviewed Blackbird #4 Aug 16, 2021
Gorgeous Sana Takeda variant cover makes this worthwhile. The story is running slightly thin at this point and hopes it picks up.
Between pulling back the veil on the magic underground and learning shocking secrets from the past, Nina can't even right now. Also, she's terrible at flirting, and that's getting in the way of making out with Clint.
Cube rated Crowded #1 Aug 16, 2021

Cube reviewed Leviathan #2 Aug 16, 2021
The detailed art is great and the silly narrative works. Not sure what happened but this series was never completed.
"'TIL DEATH DO US PART," Part Two

Five years ago, a cataclysmic event obliterated everything within a fifty mile radius of the Los Spinoza Convention Center-including the attendees of Long Con, the world's biggest (and longest) comic convention.

Cube reviewed Dark Red #1 Aug 16, 2021
Feels like a comic version of true blood.
Charles "Chip" Ipswich isn't one of those coastal elites with a liberal arts degree and a job at a social media start-up who knows where all the best brunch places are...
No, Chip is one of the "forgotten men." He lives in a rural area in the middle of the country where Jesus still has a place at the dinner table and where factories send jobs t...

Cube reviewed Parasomnia #1 Aug 16, 2021
Fell victim to issue 1 problems, not a lot given and the narrative was very confusing. Disappointed with this one.

After his son disappears, a broken-down man braves a nightmarish dreamscape in order to find him-and battle the ruthless cult that seeks to rule the land of dreams as the barrier betwe...
