Love the setting, need some more character centered story

Good starting point for a series, the story is somewhat vague, but you can piece together a little of what to expect. I enjoy slight alternate history stories and I'm not disappointed. The characters backstories could use a bit more fleshing out for motives and history, but still interesting.

The second issue feels a bit longer than it needs to be, but the story is still interesting. The setting skips a bit much as well. Overall a good read.

Nothing bad, nothing good.

Being a first issue to the series is always a bit slow and somewhat lack-luster, this is a bit expected, but this is kind of hard to defend. Not much happens in the story to draw you in. This isn't the worst I've read and I think it's worth reading the second issue hoping to get more.

Plot explanation comes a little late, but definitely something interesting.

Little shorter than the previous issues, but progress is made in the story at a decent pace. Hope we get more backstory and world building.

Anti-climatic ending, wished the story and characters were more fleshed out. The dialogue was brief and not many questions got answers. Although, not a bad read over all.

Tries way too hard with the writing and is heavy handed with what the references are too. I thought it would be a similar series as to Red Sonja of Conan. Not even close.

Picked up for the arc specifically, but now I need to read what leads up to this point.

The concept of a government funded superhero team isn't new. The issue felt as if it was a ton of filler and the "surprise" at the end wasn't much, with it, it seemed like it's trying t give the vibe of "The Boys".

Enjoy the hack and slash genre. The author mention the music he listened to while making the story and it shows well with the setting and art it self.

Good mini-series.

Great opening issue. The setting and tone are immediately in place and the chapters flow well.

Builds perfectly off the last issue.

Another great first issue, just like Duke's.

It was a fun read, the writer new that and made sure of it. The story doesn't take itself seriously and seems like an homage to 80's action movies. The art style is also well done adding to the story.

Good start. The story is easy to get into and the mysteries are interesting.

Enjoyed reading this issue a lot. The illustrations match the setting well, the character dynamics are set immediately. It's a story about a religious Crusading knight transported to another world and now has another reason to fight.

The story goes on string from the last issue.

Kinda let down as an ending, but it's serviceable. I hope the story goes on, but not in the way the end makes it seem to.

Interesting so far. The art matches the tone of the setting well and the time is hardly covered in comics. Good choice for history buffs to get a fix.

Te energy from the first issue continues. The story had just enough historical background to be believable and there's enough of it being dramatized to keep interest. Reminds me a bit of the 300 comic.

The story hardly progressed, the action panels seemed to be rushed and are a bit difficult to follow. I'm assuming this was a "filler" type of issue. Some background was given, but a bit more development of the characters would be nice.

Not the series I expected, but enjoyed it well. Strong start, took a dip in the middle and ended as strong as it started.

Enjoyed the setting and characters. Art style matches the time period well. Didn't expect the ending to be what it was but some interest remains.

Very strong start.

Great fight panels

Interesting approach to somewhat of a trope at this point but still enjoyed.

Nice to see the the Joe counter parts to make an appearance, sadly there wasn't so much going on.

The story picks up, but still a bit slow.

While I do enjoy the new arch, it doesn't seem like a G.I. Joe comic.

They're doing a great job with this series and characters. Picked up the fist issue once they started this new universe and haven't been disappointed.

A compilation/sampling. Good, but not much.

Enjoyed the art work and the quick story.

Enjoying the alt-Western atmosphere so far, not much is established what caused the time shift, but it isn't a major issue for the story. Safe first issue.

The setting is interesting and leaves me bit curious. Can't say too much about it, there wasn't many lines to help start to build anything. That's possibly the point to start interest. Might give it another issue.

Glad I decided to pick up this issue, not my usual read but decided to change it a bit. The art and setting remind me of Sunset Overdrive or Hi-Fi Rush, if you enjoyed those games, this is seems like a similar series so far. Worth waiting for the next issue.

Good opening issue. Interesting characters and story right off the start.

This series is something. I picked up issue one on random and it hooked me. This issue made sure it set. I don't read a lot of comics in this genre, but I am glad I decided to give it a try.

While I enjoyed the series over all, this last issue left a bitter taste. I wasn't sure of the ending or when it would come, but the series could've extended a bit more for a more intense story. The first three issue seemed to play out like True Detective's first season, but abruptly ends in an unsatisfying way.

Felt like there could've been something, but it seems like it's still missing a few elements. The artwork isn't something I enjoyed seeing and the story in the issue reads generic and predictably.

Love the setting of an alt-history of the Vietnam war. The story is interesting just in the first issue, but I am a bit worried that the story's direction will move to something else at the end than what's initially presented. Excited for the second issue.

Just got into comics, I am glad I did by starting with this one.

Nice companion piece to the game. The artwork is well done and the setting of the world is established quickly. The art and story reminds me of a more "realistic" Berserk.

Don't usually pick up mystery/thriller comics, but this was a happy surprise. The first issue starts the series strong.

Felt like a quick read, but it was a good start to a series. The mystery is brought and tension is used well and has me glad to have picked up the first issue.

First issue seems promising, deconstructing the super-hero genre isn't new, but the characters and setting are interesting. Hope to see more.

Not a bad premise, don't see much of the reverse idea of the story, but doesn't seem so original either. Art style is good and hope to see the universe more fleshed out.

With the story getting more fleshed out, there is a lot of built up tension you can see from the lead up to the fight. The story is coming together well.

Not too bad of a premise so far, but it doesn't seem to much of a draw. Maybe another issue worth trying.

A simple and tested concept, the characters and setting are good.

Interesting beginning, hopefully the back story is expanded upon for newer readers to the series, such as myself. Enjoyed the art style and ready for the next issue.

Story picks up speed quick and the art is great.

The story proceeds well and the artwork keeps.

Artwork and story this series remain as strong as it started.

Pretty good opening issue. The story has a good pace and the art works with the theme of the issue.

Good start, quick to finish is the only problem so far.

This isn't a full issue, only half the issue is about the story the other is add space for the upcoming issue or other upcoming dynamite comic releases. From what little is there is just enough to want to read more but there wasn't much, only a new character is introduced. It's best to have waited to see a volume release so I didn't feel as if I was cheated so much.

Picking up some speed from the previous issue, but there's still a lot missing.

Picking up some speed.

Not a great start, there's a slight sense of familiarity, but it's still missing the ball. Not the worst comic to read, but nothing worth noting.

Short and sweet. Wastes no time and is a quick intro into what kind of person Red Sonja is.

Strong First issue.

Seems like a quicker read than the first issue, but enjoyed it just as much.

The story is good so far, for a first issue, visuals are well and the writing good. The first fight was underwhelming but not terrible. It seems as if Samurai Sonja could've been a new character altogether, rather than a spin off of Red Sonja.

Visuals are just as god as the previous, but the story has not moved much. Some background info on Samurai Sonja is added to give her more character.

Enjoyed the action scene, still somewhat slow on the overarching story, but still a good read.

The story starts well and we see a slight insight into Sonja's thoughts in her ventures. The issue is is short and could've used a few more pages to get more of a hook in it. Not a bad read at all, but wish there was more.

This issue seems shorter than the first, while not bad, it's still missing something. There wasn't as much dialogue and the story is still working to keep building a hook.

This is a big downgrade from Cobra Commander and Duke series were. It wasn't horrible but I expected more and was hoping for more. The art style also seems to be somewhat of a downgrade but isn't bad either. The overall issue os just ok. The Destro preview in the back was more interesting than the main story. I'll probably wait until the complete volume is released to pick it up again.

It's just serviceable, I was hoping for a lot more with this series.

Just no

The set up is alright, but there isn't much to go off of for the first issue. Characters will probably get more development as the series goes, but no catch an interest. The art and writing are also ok, but nothing to want to see again for a second issue.

The story is straight forward and set immediately. The character interactions seem genuine and fun. First issue shows promise and over all it's just a fun crossover series.

The story picks up a bit, there seems t be more than expected.

Quick read, but great action.

Enjoyed this series, wish there was more meat to the story, but it was very fun to read. Ended like a western movie or game.

This arc seems better than the first. The story is more interesting and there isn't as much fluff. The new land and people living there are also an improvement.

This arc started strong with so much potential, but it seemed the original idea was dropped for some reason. Only the first and the final few pages had progress to the story. Still interested, but feels like this was just an issue to let people know the series isn't cancelled.

Felt as if an idea was pushed into this rather than fully thought out. The ending wasn't bad but there could've been one or two more issues to expand the story. Not a bad a read and enjoyed it.

The later issues just ain't hitting like the beginning.

Kinda let down with the later issues and the ending in all. Glad I gave it a chance, but was disappointed with the story.

Good first issue. Reads like a Conan or Red Sonja comic and enjoyed it well.

Story seemed ok at first, but quickly lost interest in characters and plot.

Not bad, need to know the game story before the comic. Kinda slow, but will keep reading.

Barley anything happens in this issue. There's hardly a hook for the villain and makes them seem as if they aren't much of a threat. The new story seems like the comic is out for hype for the new game coming out, which it is. Hoping the next issue improves.

Good start, instantly enjoyed it.

Already enjoying this new arch. Only one problem is appearing already, there's too many British people.

Story is picking up a bit more again, interesting idea for a new area. Feel like they are forcing the relationship between Doc and Valentina. Completely forgot that was a thing from one issue.

The story hardly progressed in this issue. Only a few panels were actually useful to the story, a sense of urgency is conveyed, but it isn't well made.

Very slow first half, but the end picks up the story. This arc feels half baked.

Nothing much here to say, felt like a filler issue and the story had hardly moved.

Slightly better than the last issue. This whole arch felt like it wasn't thought out.

Story finally picks up some steam. The introduction to the new zone and the new arch are good.

Glad to see a new perspective of the story, but not much goes off of what we are given from the previous issue. Seems like they didn't have a long term plan for the writing.

Nothing happens, only about two pages contribute to the story. The writer keeps entering needless drama or still trying to build up ideas that felt forced and unnecessary.

Not a bad first issue, never really heard of Doom Patrol and thought I'd give it a try. The thought was worth it, but felt like there could've been more.
