Gavan reviewed Star Trek: Discovery - Adventures In the 32nd Century #1 Mar 6, 2022
This issue is entirely from the perspective of a cat and it feels more like Star Trek than any Discovery episode does. Crazy what can be done with writers who actually know what they’re writing about

Gavan reviewed Peacemaker: Disturbing the Peace #1 Feb 26, 2022
If you’re this to be similar to the tv show, you are in for quite a surprise. Completely opposite in tone and attitude throughout the story. Extremely dark, but a fantastic story nonetheless

Gavan reviewed Nightwing #89 Feb 26, 2022
Solid issue. Loses an extra .5 for a slight plot hole since Nightwing should’ve had a blue suit during the time of the flashback and not his New 52 Red suit
/89_small.jpg)
Superman/Nightwing crossover! Years ago,when Robin took his first uncertain steps away from Batman as his own hero, Superman stepped in and offered Dick Grayson crucial advice, support, and a name: Nightwing. Now it's time for Nightwing to return the favor.

Gavan reviewed Superman: Son of Kal-El #8 Feb 9, 2022
Writing continues to get worse by each issue. The story itself is just plain uninteresting, and now the art is horrendous as well. It’ll be a wonder if this series makes it past 20 issues
/8_small.jpg)
Henry Bendix's plans for ultimate control threaten every superhero on Earth. And, in trying to stand against the dictator of Gamorra, Superman makes himself a target of business and world leaders.

The f...
Gavan reviewed Superman: Son of Kal-El #6 Jan 8, 2022
Just mediocre. My biggest problem, like issue 1, is that Tom Taylor has absolutely no idea how Damian Wayne acts or even talks. It feels like he’s trying to make him act like Dick Grayson and forgets that Damian is 14 and isn’t anything like Grayson
/6_small.jpg)
Superman has recovered from the devastating attack against him. After the life-changing events of issue #5, Jon Kent and his new ally Jay Nakamura are ready to strike back. They are on a collision course with the type of power that is used to swatting problems out of the way. But Superman is not so easily swatted!
Gavan reviewed Nightwing #87 Dec 29, 2021
A pretty cool idea. The continuous page thing was pretty interesting and the story was pretty fun. Not really important in the long run of this series but it was a fun issue nonetheless. Love having Redondo back for art as well
/87_small.jpg)
This special Nightwing issue is ONE CONTINUOUS IMAGE! That's right-if you placed every page next to each other, you'll have one poster image with this story!
