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.

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 mini-series.

A compilation/sampling. Good, but not much.

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 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.

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

Good start, instantly enjoyed it.

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.

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.

Builds perfectly off the last issue.

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

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.

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

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

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

 Conan The Barbarian (2023) #2 Nov 10, 2023

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.

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.

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 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.

Story picks up speed quick and the art is great.

The story proceeds well and the artwork keeps.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

 Kingdom Come: Deliverance #2 May 7, 2023

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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