Sideways #1

Feb 15, 2018

What is DC doing? First we get "Damage" aka "dc Hulk", and now it's "Sideways" aka "dc spidey." It's hard not to see the similarities. I DID like the artwork. Story 6.5; art 8.5 = 7.5 overall. Anyone remember the DC "bloodline" heroes that came out in the 90's? This could be bloodlines round 2! Ugh!

I really enjoyed this first issue! Plenty of background information on our heroes Simon Baz & Jessica Cruz for new readers, as well as a good storyline for established GL readers. Rocha does an excellent job with the artwork! Oh yeah.. and Red Lanterns!

I really enjoyed this issue. The two inexperienced Green Lanterns dealing with "rage" overcoming the inhabitants of earth. This definitely isn't Hal, John, Guy or Kyle but that's ok. Seeing how rookies would handle the situation is entertaining. Love the cover and overall artwork. No Bleez?

I'm enjoying the "Rage Planet" storyline and this issue is no different. However, the artwork takes a step back here. FOUR artists? Am I seeing this correctly - FOUR!? Ugh. I'm not a fan of multiple artists.

8.5
Green Lanterns #4

Jan 29, 2018

I usually don't like issues that have multiple artist, but this issue's artwork wasn't bad. Three artists on the book and surprisingly it flowed pretty smoothly. I've been enjoying this story line arc and this issue was no exception. The dialogue between Simon & Jessica was good. I liked how they finally opened up to each other and shared their concerns about fear and failure. Loved the last page - Red Lanterns!

This issue is totally a character study. Jessica is invited to Simon's house to help him bake cookies at his family get together. I found the story boring and the art less impressive than past issues. If you want a look into the characters of Simon & Jessica you might like this issue. If you're looking for action - look elsewhere!

8.5
Green Lanterns #8

Jan 30, 2018

This was a fun issue. Sam Humphries continues to write this book as more of a character study rather than continuous action stories. This issue had a good balance of both character study and action. Ed Benes does a great job with the artwork. Love the cover!

Jan 31, 2018

This was a GREAT issue! Part one of "Phantom Ring" gives us the background story of the man who is to become the "Phantom Lantern." Simon Baz & Jessica Cruz were only on one page and that was fine. This issue is about Frank Laminski! I loved reading his back story and the artwork by Rocha was beautiful. The best issue of the series so far!

9.0
Green Lanterns #10

Feb 1, 2018

"The Phantom Ring" part two is another great issue. The story continues to develop Frank Laminsky as a villain. I'm really enjoying this new character. A deranged man who wants to be a hero. The artwork is beautiful. I hope this storyline maintains it's momentum!

9.5
Green Lanterns #11

Feb 1, 2018

Another great issue with fantastic art that enhances the story a hundredfold! Watching Humphries develop this new antagonist over the past few issues has been fun. In this issue Frank really displays his full psychopathic personality as he tries to be a hero only to reveal his "true colors."

I've been enjoying this arc entitled "Phantom Lantern" but this issue seemed like it was treading water. Although overall it was a cool issue and the art was good, it felt unnecessary to the overall storyline. Not much happens.

Overall an enjoyable issue. Best part was the interaction between Guardian Rami and Volthoom. I'm not sure if the history of the creation of the GL ring as told in this issue is correct.

Green Lanterns #14

Feb 3, 2018

A solid issue to end the arc. The Rami/Volthoom interaction scenes were the best. Although I liked Frank as the Phantom Lantern, he never seemed like a big threat - just crazy. I liked the twist at the end as well as the artwork.

Green Lanterns #15

Feb 3, 2018

Meh. This issue didn't do it for me. I'm a Jessica Cruz fan, but this "anxiety" thing is getting to be too much. We are reminded every issue about her anxiety problem and now we get an entire issue about it. I don't want to sound insensitive, as I DO understand this is a major problem many people in the real world face every day. However, it's getting to the point of overkill in this series. The artwork was also not as good as previous issues.

Green Lanterns #16

Feb 3, 2018

This issue was just "ok" at best. It felt disjointed at times. The writing of Batman just felt "off" to me. I did enjoy the Bruce/Simon interaction about Simon carrying a gun. The artwork was solid but not great.

This issue is the back story to Volthoom: The First Lantern. Simon & Jessica aren't even in the issue which was fine by me. I didn't even miss them as I was drawn in to the story behind the man we know as Volthoom. A fascinating story with great artwork.

Feb 4, 2018

This is a good issue to start the new "Polarity" arc. The focus is on Dr. Neil Emerson and his struggle with his "dark side" - Dr. Polaris. The reviews for this issue are low, but I personally enjoyed the issue.

8.5
Green Lanterns #20

Feb 4, 2018

An enjoyable issue with very good artwork. Dr. Neil Emerson (Dr. Polaris) is trying to save his brother from brain cancer. It's easy to root for the villain here. This book continues to be a great "character study" book each month.

Feb 6, 2018

I think this is the first time in the series that I wasn't happy with the first issue of a new story arc. I found this issue boring at times and the artwork mediocre. It's another character development issue with Jessica going to Mogo to receive basic training. But almost everything we are introduced to on Mogo is not new to GL fans. It's mostly a... "I know that already" issue.

I enjoyed the story more than the artwork in this issue. Jessica & Simon earn their "stripes" while Volthoom/Rami learn the secret of Jessica's ring. I'm glad the Jessica/Simon training is over and we can move on and focus on the Volthoom storyline.

Feb 6, 2018

Although the cover gives a lot away in this issue, it was great none the less. We get a really good story that focuses on Volthoom along with excellent artwork. The extra pages is worth the $3.99 cover price.

Green Lanterns #26

Feb 6, 2018

One of the best issues in the series! "The First Ring" is exactly what it says - the origin of the first power ring. We learn the history of the ring, Volthoom from the perspective of Guardian Rami. Story 10 art 9 = 9.5 overall.

We finally get to see all seven of the original Green Lanterns together. After many issues of one to two pages of each original Green Lantern, their story comes together. I do have to say I was disappointed with the death of one of them, as I found that character intriguing and would have liked to see more stories with the character. Overall, this was a good story with very good artwork.

Green Lanterns #32

Feb 6, 2018

Sam Humphries' "swan song" issue. Personally, I think he should have ended after the last issue. This issue felt like a filler with lots of characterization and not much action. Although I'm sure that's what he was going for, it feels like he's going out with a wimpier instead of a bang! The art didn't help either, as I didn't feel it was as good as past issues.

8.5
Green Lanterns #33

Feb 6, 2018

A good start for new writer Tim Seeley. He is clearly keeping the characterization development of Jessica Cruz & Simon Baz in the forefront as Humphries did. I liked the way he changed scenes from past to present in a clear, non-confusing manner. The artwork by Pansica enhanced the overall story.

8.0
Green Lanterns #34

Feb 6, 2018

Not as good as Seeley's first issue last month, but not bad either. He continues to focus on Simon & Jessica's personal life as well as their adventures in the GLC. Simon & Jessica's discussion about Liseth's whisper comment to Simon was a "lol" moment. Cliquet's artwork was just ok.

Bolphunga + bad artwork = a train wreck of an issue! This issue had nothing of interest for me. I knew I was in trouble when I saw Jessica on page one drawn like she is 13 years old. Simon sleeping with Veronika aka "Night Pilot?" Ugh. Let's hope this mess is cleaned up soon!

6.5
Green Lanterns #36

Green Lanterns #37

Jan 13, 2018

Another issue with not much to like. Seeley is doing a poor job on this book. I'm hoping for a new writer soon. The artwork is poor also. Simon Baz looks like he's 35 years old sleeping with a 16 year old. This book needs a kick in the ass!

This was just plain bad! The art was ok, but the story was boring and ridiculous. I think Seeley is trying to make some kind of political or social statement here, but it really missed the mark in my opinion. I'm REALLY hoping the next arc is better, but I'm quickly losing confidence in this writer.

Green Lanterns #40

Feb 11, 2018

I have been on a rant about this book lately, as it has been really bad in my opinion. I was expecting to really dislike this issue, but after reading it I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. I thought this issue was a good mix of character study and story line action, as it was in the days of Humphries. I can see many readers not liking the whole "Caper" app thing, but I thought it added a lot of personal character to the story. How does Jessica deal with this new info that the app tells her Simon is a good match for her? How does this affect their working relationship? I'm cool with this issue and interested to see what happens next.

Not a great issue, but much better than the past few! I like the artwork and the overall plot, just not the execution of the plot. Jessica making a deal with "Singularity Jain" to fight her internal demons - like it. Having it played out on a "robot planet" with a robot dad and baby - not so much. I think Seeley is trying too hard to make this series light-hearted and humorous. At times it borders on ridiculous and silly.

8.0
Green Lanterns #45

Apr 20, 2018

This is Seeley's best issue so far (in my humble opinion). Is it perfect? No, but soooo much better than what's come before! I've never been a fan of Cliquet's art and it doesn't add much to the story here. It's just "ok" in my view. I'm just happy this issue is a step in the right direction for the series.

8.5
Green Lanterns #46

May 6, 2018

This is definitely Seeley's best issue so far. We finally get some GL mythos connection with "Volthoom's ring." We also get the origin story of Jessica's anxiety disorder and nice artwork. I hope the momentum this issue brought to the series continues!

Red Lanterns #1

Feb 8, 2018

An excellent first issue. Milligan does a great job giving us some history background of the Red Lanterns as well as set things up for future issues. I also enjoyed the subplot on earth which will clearly lead to the establishment of an earth Red Lantern. Finally, I love the artwork by Benes.

9.0
Red Lanterns #2

Feb 8, 2018

A great story with beautiful artwork. I love how Milligan shows Atrocitus as someone who is trying to use the red power ring for "retribution" and not just blind rage and mayhem. It is possible for the Red Lanterns to use their rings for good. They don't have to be the "bad lanterns."

9.0
Red Lanterns #3

Feb 8, 2018

Another great issue with beautiful artwork. This issue focuses on the Red Lantern Bleeze. She's a great character with lots of appeal and potential. Love how Milligan gives us enough of her background and still provides a current story. Love the cover too!

8.5
Red Lanterns #4

Feb 8, 2018

I don't think this issue is nearly as bad as many are saying. The artwork is very solid. The story is a little fractured since Milligan has a few sub plots and background character stories going on. However, I believe these sub plots are important to character development and future story lines. Overall, a good issue.

8.5
Red Lanterns #5

Feb 9, 2018

This book has been Red Lantern character studies to date. This may be the reason for reviewers low ratings - but I like it. This is another good issue similar to last issue. We get background origin stories about Red Lanterns: Ratchet, Skallox and John Moore. Also the main storyline which centers around the disappearance of Krona and rebellion of Bleeze. The artwork is very good too!

8.0
Red Lanterns #6

Feb 9, 2018

Another solid issue that centers on the new earth Red Lantern - Jack Moore. I'm rating this a little lower than previous issues because it was a quicker read and the art wasn't as good. However, overall it was enjoyable. Can't wait to see Jack vs Guy Gardner next issue!

8.0
Red Lanterns #7

Feb 10, 2018

This wasn't a bad issue, but there's noting great about it either. This is mainly a red lantern slugfest issue. Rankorr vs Guy Gardner, Blezz leads red lanterns into a battle and Atrocitus deals with his creation - Abysmus. The artwork is solid.

7.5
Red Lanterns #8

Red Lantern rage fighting and character development both in this issue. A good balance is back. We get the rebellion of Bleez, the continued development of the character Rankorr and the main storyline - the death of the red lantern power battery. The artwork is solid.

Red Lanterns #10

Feb 10, 2018

A fast, action packed issue. Atrocitus seeks out Abysmus as the red lantern power battery continues to die. Much of the issue is a slug fest with Stormwatch, but overall it was enjoyable. The artwork is very good and helps enhance the story.

Feb 11, 2018

This was a great issue! The art is amazing and the dialogue between characters was great! There was a lot of fighting here, but the dialogue between characters during the fight scenes was great. Especially Bleeze and Fatality's "hate" vs "love" dialogue. I don't understand all the "hate" for this issue. I personally "loved" it.

Red Lanterns #12

Feb 12, 2018

Red Lanterns #14

Feb 12, 2018

The artwork in this issue is very good. I really liked the story for the first part of the book, but then Milligan changes direction and instead of continuing with the "third army" plot, he goes off in another direction, sending the red lanterns to different planets to seek vengeance in order to strengthen the power battery. It seemed a little disconnected to me. Overall, it was still pretty good.

6.0
Red Lanterns #15

Feb 12, 2018

The only good thing about this issue was the artwork. The story was disconnected and all over the place. The "third army" has nothing to do with the issue even though it's mentioned on the cover. I've been a fan of Milligan's writing on this book, but this issue strikes out!

5.5
Red Lanterns #16

Feb 12, 2018

Even the art is bad in this one. It's a total train-wreck! This series is falling prey to tying itself to the other green lantern books in hopes of drawing in new readers. It's not working and I'm afraid it's going to continue.

New writer Charles Soule & artist Alessandro Vitti come aboard to take over the title. Honestly, I was expecting a little more from their first issue. The story is ok, with Hal Jordan sending Guy Gardner to spy on the Reds by becoming a Red Lantern himself. Since when does Guy EVER listen to Hal? I'm hoping the storyline becomes more interesting as it progresses. This issue is a lot of set-up. I found the artwork ok, but a little sloppy.

Even though this issue is part four of the "Lights Out" crossover, it stands on it's own. Soule does a nice job of balancing the continuation of the story from last issue and the crossover story in the other lantern books. I loved the Guy/Bleeze interaction scenes. The artwork is very good too.

Love the "flipbook" idea! Two for the price of one. I wish they did it more. I understand in the short term they lose money, but the idea is to get Green Lantern book readers to read Red Lanterns by giving them a free issue of it. And a good Red Lanterns issue it was! I loved the Hal/Guy interaction and having Kara Supergirl was great too. The artwork was good too. I think this was Vitti's best issue so far.

This is the best Red Lanterns issue so far! Both the story and artwork are top notch! The only reason I'm not giving it a perfect "10" rating is because I don't understand why "Sheko" is sane and able to think and speak clearly when first becoming a Red Lantern. The idea has always been that a red needed to be baptised into the blood ocean to become sane after receiving the ring. Is this a mistake by the writer? Hmmm. I also don't like that I have to read "Supergirl" to get part 2 of this 3 part story arc. Besides those two things, this issue is awesome!

This issue feels like a filler. Not much to say about it. Guy meets with John Stewart to ask for help with Atocitus, while Atocitus plans for war against Guy.

Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1

Jan 27, 2018

A good introduction issue into the the newest Green Lanterns of earth - Simon Baz & Jessica Cruz. I'm not really sold on the fact that we need TWO MORE Green Lanterns from earth but it's clear DC is reaching out to female and Muslim readers with these characters. The artwork is amazingly good.

The worst part of this issue is the cover. I mean, come on man, the cover gives away the reveal at the end! It's a beautiful cover, but how about using it for issue #40? AFTER we read about Grodd's reveal. There's nothing worse than having a cover SPOIL the ending of a book! Ok, so besides that it was a solid issue. I did love the art.

This issue was good, but not great. There was a lot of standing around talking which reminds me of team flash on tv, which they do a lot. Barry seems to be a little schizophrenic to me. First he hands the "flash" reigns over to red head Wally (god I hate that there are two "Wallys"), now he says that the only way to beat Grodd is if HE is the Flash. Huh? What changed his mind? Why all of a sudden is he being a jerk to both Wallys? I am curious to see if Meena and Godspeed will leave the dark side!

Will the real Barry Allen please stand up? This guy isn't him! Who is this guy? This Barry says to Godspeed..."I broke you out because, despite everything we've been through, I TRUST you." Huh, he trusts Godspeed? Seriously? Do we really need to go back and list everything Godspeed did in the past? Barry must have amnesia. I have no idea what Williamson is doing here. I was hoping Barry would turn the Flash mantle over to red-headed Wally for longer than just one issue! As a Wally fan from years past, I was looking forward to him being THE Flash for an arc or two. Nope. And the artwork didn't help. Not a fan of it. This isn't the worst book out right now, but it's not going the right direction in my opinion. Williamson needs to step up his game soon or turn the reigns over to someone else.

Overall, I liked this issue. And compared to "Green LanternS" right now - this is a 10. The best part was the interaction between Hal & Zod. So, I've been thinking about Zod's side of the argument. Do the Green Lanterns have the right to invade the planet Zod had settled on? Do the inhabitants of the planet have the right to worship Zod if the choose to? They clearly are not slaves nor are they worshipping him through force or coersion. Now, I think it's clear that Zod's intentions are evil, but what if they weren't? What if he was sincerely just trying to build a society like that of Krypton? Does he have the right to do so? This issue brings up some interesting points of political discussion and food for thought. :)

Guy Gardner takes center stage as Volthoom's wrath is directed toward him in this issue. Volthoom takes Guy on a journey into his past and alters events to make them tragic endings. The emotional sadness and grief Guy feels energizes Volthoom via the emotional spectrum, making him stronger. This is a fun issue with beautiful artwork.

There are two storylines together within this one issue. The first takes place in the 25th century and the second in modern time. The modern time storyline centers on Wally West (elder) and his struggle in having a personal life outside of being the Flash since his return from the speedforce. This storyline was just ok imho. It was nice seeing some references and characters from the 1986 Flash series when Wally was the main man. The future storyline was boring until the reveal at the end. The reveal was great and really peaked my interest as to what will come next. I'm now excited for "Flash War!"

Being very dissatisfied with the current "Green Lanterns" title, I decided to go back and re-read the "Green Lantern - New 52" series. This is so much better than what we have coming out today. It's been so long since I've read this series that it felt new. Sinestro is a green lantern again. Great story and artwork. My only nit-pick is that I wish Johns had given us a summary as to WHY Hal had his ring taken away by the guardians. I know it's a brand new start with "the new 52" but Johns is clearly keeping history from the past. So, I want to know what's come before. Besides that, this is a breath of fresh air for Green Lantern fans.

This issue definetely takes a step back from the past issues in both story and art. Hal and Carol are back together and Sinestro uses Starstorm to help him find Lyssa Drak and the "The Book of the Black." I enjoyed the Hal & Carol scenes (especially when Hal took on the four guys solo), but I was confused by the Starstorm parts. Who is that guy? So, Sinestro couldn't find Lyssa without him? I found it kind of boring. This definetely is not Johns best work.

First and foremost the artwork is fantastic and worth the price of admission on its own! My favorite part of the story is the interaction between characters in the "dead zone." I'm a little confused with the "dead zone." Is this "purgatory"? Is this a place inside the ring? Clearly, there are characters there who are both dead and alive such as Tomar Re and Hal Jordan. Hopefully, the answer to these questions will be addressed in future issues.

Another fantastic issue with amazing artwork! The First Lantern (Volthoom) is front and center in this issue along with Sinestro. The interaction between these two characters is great. All this AND a fold-out cover!

Not the best, but definitely not the worst, as Robert Venditti takes over the writing of GL. Considering the shoes he's filling, this is a very good start. Venditti establishes Hal Jordan as the new leader of the GLC, in the aftermath of the fall and rise of the guardians and templar guardians. I'm a fan of Tan's artwork so the artwork is a plus in my opinion.

Hal leads the new recruits against Larfleeze and the orange corps menagerie... and that's about it. The artwork is very good. Story - 7.0; Art - 9.0; Overall - 8.0

I think this issue is one of Tans best artwork. The story is good as Hal continues to struggle being the new GLC leader. I like this new villain - Nol-Anj and also the brief appearance of the upcoming villain - Relic.

The back story about "Relic" is very good. The artwork excellent. This is a must-read for all Green Lantern fans.

Huh? What does this have to do with Green Lantern? There's not even one Green Lantern in the entire issue. It's just all about Mongul flexing his muscles in a monologue with some alien admiral. The artwork is terrible too. Thank god I spent $2.99 on the regular cover version instead of $3.99. This issue is just a total boring mess in my opinion!

This issue is just ok. There's nothing exciting or important that happens. The only interesting scene is when Black Hand raises Hal Jordan's father - Martin. Besides that, it's a flat, boring issue with mediocre art at best.

Green Lantern (2011) #23.4

Mar 6, 2018

This is a great issue with fantastic artwork. It is by far the best Green Lantern "villain" issue. There's nothing new here, but the retelling of Sinestro's backstory from Lyssa Drak's perspective is fun & refreshing. A great issue for new readers. Kindt & Eaglesham really deliver on this one!

Eternity #1

Feb 11, 2018

A great start to a new "Divinity" mini-series. I do think there should have been a summary on the inside cover to catch up new readers on what has gone before in the previous Divinity mini-series. It's a quick read, but one that needs multiple reads to really understand what is going on. The art is beautiful.

Eternity #2

Feb 11, 2018

A good story with excellent artwork. I personally liked the first issue a little better but this was also good. I would give the story an "8.0" and the art a "9.0" averaging "8.5" overall.

Another good issue with excellent artwork. My only complaint is that I'm getting tired of the story line about getting the baby back.

Eternity #4

Feb 11, 2018

This was an excellent conclusion to the story. I almost feel it could have been a three issue series combining issues two and three together into one issue and then end with this issue! Kindt brought it all together here and it became clear what he was trying to do with the series. I love some of the moral questions presented to the reader in this issue. The artwork was excellent. The colors seemed to "pop" in this issue more than the others. Looking forward to more Divinity in the future.

Blackest Night: Batman #1

Jan 22, 2018

Re-reading this again reminded me how much I really enjoyed the Dick Grayson Batman with Damian Wayne Robin! I'm not a Deadman fan but the character worked well in this issue. Nice line by Damian when he saw his grandparents corpses! Also seeing Dick's parents raised was cool.

Blackest Night: Batman #2

Jan 22, 2018

Really liked this issue! Fantastic art by Syaf and Tomasi at this best writing. Continue to love the interaction between Dick Grayson Batman and Damian Wayne Robin. The emotions charging the black rings was cool. My favorite Batman - Arnold Wesker Ventriloquist and Scareface coming back was awesome. Also really liked the Jim Gordon scenes.

Blackest Night: Batman #3

Bloodshot: Salvation #2

A very good story with decent artwork. There are multiple sub-plots here which makes me think I will enjoy this even more as a re-read when the storyline is over and the pieces are all in place.

Bloodshot: Salvation #3

Another solid issue with great storytelling and very good artwork. A must-read for those who enjoyed issues one and two! This series continues to deliver in all areas!

Bloodshot: Salvation #4

Feb 10, 2018

A very good story which focuses on the origin of "Rampage" and his brother. The story is very emotional drawing the reader into their abusive childhood world very easily. The artwork is amazing and enhances the story even more! My only "nit-pic" is the panels were for the most part big , making it a quick read.

Bloodshot: Salvation #5

Feb 11, 2018

The story and artwork are both outstanding! We have multiple sub-plots going on with multiple time frames. This is writing and art at it's best! I also love Valiant's thick stock paper for the cover - nothing but quality here!

8.5
Bloodshot: Salvation #6

Mar 21, 2018

First off, the artwork is spectacular! I love that Valiant gives me a thick cover for my $3.99. The story here is very good, but a tad slow for my taste. I'm not sure why Lemire gives us a glimpse of the near future. It spoils the storyline currently going on in the present. I mean, if we see Jessie in the future, then we know she doesn't die in the present. Anyway, this is still one of my favorite books on the market right now.

Bloodshot: Salvation #7

Mar 21, 2018

Bloodshot is blind in the dead zone. That's it. There's not much story here and the artwork is nonexistent. So why am I rating it as high as I am at 8.5? Because it's sooo different from everything else! We get to see what Bloodshot is seeing - nothing! Every page is black. We only get Bloodshot monologuing and talking to Bloodhound. It's very different and very good.

Green Lantern (2011) Annual #1

Feb 27, 2018

Anything written by Johns and drawn by Van Sciver has got to be good imho. And this issue is no exception. A prologue to "Rise of the Third Army" Johns sets the stage for what is to come. I remember reading this when it first came out in 2012, and I found it just as enjoyable this time 'round. If you're reading "Rise..." this is a must read! Love the cover!

Green Lantern Corps (2011) Annual #1

Mar 24, 2018

A nice conclusion to the "Rise of the Third Army" story arc and lead into the next - "Wrath of the First Lantern." Tomasi brings it all together very nicely. The only thing missing was Hal Jordan. The artwork was also very nice. "Rise of the Third Army" is a classic run in the Green Lantern mythos.

Love the shout out to the tv series - reporter "McGee!" Can't wait to hear Bruce say: "Mr. McGee don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

Medieval Spawn / Witchblade (2018) #1

May 12, 2018

I really enjoyed this first issue. I don't agree with the negative reviews it's been given. I'm a big Spawn fan, but I don't know anything about Witchblade. However, the issue was easy enough for me to follow. It has everything needed in a first issue: background info, set up and action. I'm looking forward to the next issue to see where it goes from here. The artwork was great too! If you like medieval stories with a mystical flair check this out!

X-O Manowar (2017) #8

Feb 11, 2018

The story is simple and enjoyable. The artwork is absolutely amazing! This is not a jumping on issue for new readers, so if you're not reading X-O: Manowar you need to be jumping aboard with the next issue! This is one of the best books on the market!

X-O Manowar (2017) #9

The art alone is worth the price of admission and absolutely amazing! The story is best summed up by Schon who says to Aric, "you've won the battles, but you've lost everything else in the process."

X-O Manowar (2017) #10

Feb 11, 2018

Another AMAZING issue! This is the jumping on point if you haven't been reading X-O! Aric isn't even in the issue and I didn't miss him. This issue is that good! The art is so good I actually felt like I was reading a movie. The ONLY reason I'm not giving it a perfect "10" rating is because it was a quick read. This is one of the best comics currently on the market in my opinion.

X-O Manowar (2017) #11

The artwork has really enhanced this series. However, here it takes a step back into mediocrity giving this issue an "8.5" instead of the usual "9.5"

Swamp Thing Winter Special #1

Feb 11, 2018

This is just a great issue all around. The artwork by Fabok is absolutely amazing. The main story is not action packed and it's not intended to be. It's classic psychological Swamp Thing at it's best. I loved the tribute art and final script By Wein. The ONLY reason I'm not giving it a "10" is the price tag. At $7.99 cover it doesn't come cheap.

Venditti does an excellent job recapping the essentials of what has gone on before. Great story leaving the reader ready and waiting for issue #1 of the new series. Van Sciver's art is fantastic. A must read for anyone who likes Green Lantern.
