One word: Confusing. I believed a scene was a flashback and I only understood it wasn't pages after it.
Larroca is still doing his thing, saddly it's not very good. But the coloring is fine.
And I like how Johnson is expanding on the Alien mythology.

DANGER ON ALL SIDES!
• Epsilon Station is overrun with danger, not all of it from Xenomorphs!
• Cruz holds mission information back from his soldiers, but he's not the only one with secrets.
• We are not who we say we are.

THE ICONIC CINEMATIC TERROR MAKES ITS MARVEL DEBUT!

Boudi reviewed The Marvels #2 Aug 27, 2021
This looks like it's going to be huge and I like how all the stories are conected. Looking forward to the next.
/2_small.jpg)
Aero. The Punisher. The Black Cat. Melinda May. The Terrible Tinkerer. And more. There's an aftermath in Manhattan, after the explosion in our first issue - and a crisis in the nation of Siancong as things go from bad to worse. And amid all that, meet Kevin Schumer, an ordinary guy with some big secrets...and see more of the mysterious Threadneedle...
I love how real these characters are. Me and my cousins are kinda like that. The art gives a manga and not a comic vibe, it's not bad, it's just not that fitting.

REPTIL ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION!
In the wake of Kamala's Law and his Grandfather's worsening health, Humberto Lopez, A.K.A. Reptil, has taken a step back from crime-fighting to refocus on his family. Perhaps its a sign that he should give up on becoming a hero and finally come to terms with his parents' mysterious disappearance...or perhaps n...
Boudi reviewed Stargirl Spring Break Special #1 Aug 16, 2021
Johns is a legend. But this is very boring, probably the worst Johns book I read. Tood Nauck's ugly art doesn't help.
Legendary comics writer Geoff Johns returns to his breakthrough hero, Stargirl, in this special one-shot illustrated by Todd Nauck!
Courtney Whitmore’s spring break plans aren’t like your average high schooler’s. Instead of hanging out with friends, she’s heading out on an adventure with her stepfather, Pat Dugan, a.k.a. S.T.R.I.P.E...
Boudi reviewed Mister Miracle: The Source of Freedom #1 Aug 13, 2021
I don't like the art but the colors are very well done. The idea of Mr Miracle as a brand is interesting, the soial commentary is also nice. It looks like the villain will be good.

Spinning out of DC Future State, the story of how Shilo Norman became the Mister Miracle of tomorrow starts here.

Boudi reviewed Teen Titans Academy #3 Aug 13, 2021
It's getting better. The art and the colors are still very good and Sheridan is slowly improving, even if I don't like his takes on 60% of the Titans. I also want to read Crush's story, I like that character.

Don’t miss this crossover with Suicide Squad!
Hunted by the deadly Task Force X, the new students of Titans Academy will have to grow up fast or risk losing one of their own even faster. Why has the Squad put a target on new speedster Bolt’s back? And why, in its charge on Titans Island, is Amanda Waller’s team of villains being led b...
I like the takes on the characters, even if Damian is horrible. Saddly Melnikov isn't really good. Maybee it gets better.

After the shocking events of Robin #1, Damian has learned the deadly rules of Lazarus Island the hard way! Now he must prove that he belongs in the tournament and uncover its secrets! But his only ally is the daughter of one of his greatest enemies: Ravager! In this tournament, only one fighter can get out alive-ready for round two? Fight!
Boudi reviewed The Other History of the DC Universe #4 Aug 12, 2021
Not as good as the last one. But Ridley and Camuncoli do their job. Perhaps it was my mistake to expect this issue to be about everyday latino struggles since Renee is also an LGBT woman. Still good.
/4_small.jpg)
Words can be tricky. Renee Montoya has known this for most of her life. Words taught her to feel ashamed of her gender, her sexuality, and her ethnicity. The people of Gotham City taught her to hide who she was to fit in to, be loved, and in doing so, they taught her to hate herself. But from that despair came something unexpected and powerful. <...
Boudi reviewed Harley Quinn #3 Aug 12, 2021
Stephanie Philips is a good writter, she knows how to use pannels better than most and has a few interesting ideas. But it's just not working. And on top of the lame plot we have Rossmo's art, it's different and I respect it, but it's not beautiful to look at.
/3_small.jpg)
Harley Quinn here, still narrating my solicit text! My war of wellness with Hugo Strange kicks into high gear this issue, and things are gonna get ugly. Hugo is about to send his right-hand man-child Lockwood, Arkham Asylum’s most sadistic guard, after Kevin and me at our first support group meeting. Folks, some things in this world are sacred, a...
Boudi reviewed Detective Comics #1036 Aug 12, 2021
It appears Tamaki is planning something huge and different, I like that. I also like her takes on Huntress and Lady Clayface. Saddly Mora and Bellaire are not as good as in the previous issues. But that'll probably change.

As the Dark Knight delves into the mystery of Sarah Worth’s murder, the only witness who truly knows what happened that fateful evening is Batman’s only hope to clear his name.

Boudi reviewed Nightwing #80 Jul 22, 2021
Man, the art and the colors here can't get enough praise, perfection would be the right word. The take on Barbara is still great, she caring, badass and smart. There is a cool fight scene that was creative. Saddly this issue felt a bit short.

From protecting those persecuted by bullies in his youth, to combating evil alongside Batman as Robin, to pledging his newly inherited wealth to enriching Blüdhaven as Nightwing-his kindness and generosity have always guided his life.
