Amazing Spider-Man (2014) #1

May 9, 2014

Coming from someone new to comics this first issue does a great job at explaining everything you need to know about the past events and still makes it interesting for continuing readers. I can't wait for the next issue! I just wish that the Miles Morales spider-man had done as good of a job doing this.

Overall this was a pretty good issue. There is a lot happening and it stays interesting. I loved the bit with the Avengers! The only complaint I have is the authors several notes to read other comics like FF. I picked up spider-man because I am new to comics and this was the start of a new series. I don't like feeling like I am missing out on something story wise in the book I bought because I didn't buy a different book.

Cyclops (2014) #1

I really like the idea of taking Cyclops and throwing him into space with his pirate father. This first issue spends a lot of time getting everything ready to really start and I must say I am excited to see what happens next! It's certainly worth checking it out if you are on the fence about this one!

Not a perfect comic, but close. I found this issue to really pull me in more than the first. I'm loving how accessible this comic is for someone new to comics like me. While I haven't been buying comics for very long this is at the top of my "I can't wait for the next issue!" list.

This one is really laying the groundwork for the coming issues. The characters seem very interesting to me and I look forward to more.

Great plot and characters. I love the pacing and the action scenes and writing are both excellent.

This one seems to be all over the place when it comes to quality. At times it's great and then there are the cringe-worthy moments. I'm going to give this one more issue to see if it improves. If not I will probably drop this series.

Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man #1

May 9, 2014

I really wanted to rate this comic higher but as a new reader of spider-man and being fairly new to comics I just can't. This really does a good job of getting my interest for continuing the series however there are several events that are mentioned and hardly explained. If you are new to the comic scene like me there will be several references that will leave you largely confused or wanting more information due to the poor explanations. Other than that the art and writing both seem to be great and I look forward to more of this series.

This issue is good but a little conversation heavy. Also Peter Parker is a jerk.

A solid start to an interesting story. There are a bunch of questions that are begging to be answered. The protagonist seems to be a good guy who has had to some bad things and it will be really interesting to see what he does with MPH.I will definitely be picking up the next issue.

Rise of the Magi #1

I like the ideas and the writing. I'm not a fan of how the art style changes so much half way through. I think I will pick up one more issue but if this continues the only way I will keep it on my pull list is if the writing is top-notch.

This was awesome! Can't wait for the next issue. Docked half a point for leaving pepperoni behind...

The Dresden Files: War Cry #1

This get a 8/10. I am actually intentionally bringing the score down 1 full point from what I think this deserves. I am doing that because I will admit to being a Dresden Files fan from the books and that is probably skewing my view of this comic. If you liked the previous Jim Butcher comics, the books, or even the short lived television series, then you owe it yourself to pick this up.

Great artwork and writing. Started out a bit slow with a lot of dialogue but pulled together for a great first issue. Will be interesting to see where it goes from here!

I will give it one more issue to see how it goes. This one is all about the setting. The only thing you learn about either of the characters is their names. There needs to be some good character building or something to keep me intrigued past the next issue.
