Superman: Father of Tomorrow #1 is a fresh and exciting take on the Superman story. Instead of Kal-El landing on the Kent farm, it is his father Jor-El who survives Krypton's destruction and crash lands on Earth. What makes this work immediately is how quickly you warm up to Jor-El as a character. H...

It's a great return to the Avatar universe, a few character moments felt a bit off. It's awesome to finally see the rest of Suki's squad get some actual development, and the art by BellBessa perfectly matches the vibe of the show. I think Suki caves a bit too easily, which felt really out of charact...

Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #1 is a great read from start to finish. The premise is simple and perfect. Battle Beast is out here traveling the universe picking fights with everyone and everything, either to prove he is the greatest warrior alive or to finally find someone worthy enough to kill...

A buddy told me I had to read this and he was right. Absolute Green Arrow #1 is an absolute banger. I will be upfront that Green Arrow has never really been my character. I tried the Dawn of DC run and fell off it pretty quick, but this is a completely different animal. Someone has taken up the Gree...

Odin #1 is a weird one, but in the best way. The issue follows Adela, an investigative reporter who goes undercover with a group of neo-Nazi punks headed to the frozen forests of Norway convinced they can summon Odin and claim their so-called white destiny. What starts as an unsettling character stu...

As a Diablo fan since day one who still fires up Diablo 2 regularly, seeing a canon comic series set in Sanctuary was an instant must-buy. Cullen Bunn comes out swinging with a strong opening issue. The story follows Derris, a skeptical barbarian warrior traveling with the Fox Tribe, who finds himse...

A fun concept on paper, Freddy and Leatherface in the same anthology comic, but it never really delivers on that promise. Both stories feel underdeveloped and forgettable. Worth a read if you are a fan of either franchise, but don't expect much beyond a surface level encounter with these icons.

Daredevil #2 is a smooth, easy read and Garbett's art is fantastic throughout. The action sequences are sharp and the contrast between Matt Murdock the college professor and Daredevil on the streets is handled really well visually. Phillips is building an intriguing mystery with Omen and the eye-rem...

Hannah Rose May delivers again with issue #3. The pacing is fast but it never feels rushed, and the story hits hard. Ivy is front and center here trying to make sense of the chaos around her while her world keeps spiraling, and May does a great job putting you right in her shoes. You genuinely feel...

It feels like a good series and reads in one go. But in it, Alien characters are relegated to the background, and I consider the presence of superheroics from Marvel to be superfluous here.

To be honest, I expected more from this series, I liked the plot itself, but the manner of drawing leaves much to be desired.

So my buddy basically forced this into my hands and told me I had no choice. First manga I've ever read, so take this review with that in mind. Honestly? The story was better than I expected. It drops you right into the action with Guts, this massive dude swinging around a sword that's basically th...

Eowulf: Of Monsters & Middle School is a blast from start to finish. Cavallaro does a great job capturing Eowulf trying to reintegrate into normal life after her wild summer adventures, and that tension makes her feel like a real character rather than just an action hero. The story draws you in fast...

Nico Bravo and the Hound of Hades is a genuinely fun read. The story moves at a fast pace but never feels rushed. It's easy to follow even with multiple threads running at once and it never drags. The humor lands too; I found myself laughing out loud a few times, which isn't always easy to pull off...

This issue keeps the momentum going from the first one. The art from Miriana Puglia looks great and clean, and it pulls you deeper into the horror. When the visuals are this well done, every unsettling moment hits harder. The story is building well too. They're layering in backstory gradually inste...

Okay this issue was a ton of fun. The tag team fights this round are a blast and some of the team up choices are just wild and bizarre, which honestly makes it even better. It's pretty much non stop action from start to finish and it never feels overwhelming. The writing is solid and the art is grea...

FREAKS ASSEMBLE! Web of Venom #1 starts off in a fun, unexpected way and I'm totally here for it. We get a "THICC" Spidey-inspired Venom strutting around and the vibe is just goofy and entertaining in the best way possible. It's a different kind of symbiote story than what you'd expect and that's h...

Gargoyles: Dark Ages #1 is a love letter to the original animated series, taking the Wyvern Clan back to 10th century Scotland where humans and gargoyles once coexisted. Original series creator Greg Weisman sets up a politically charged story centered on an uneasy alliance between the clan and a pri...

Daredevil #1 kicks off with Matt Murdock living his double life as a law professor by day and the Devil of Hell's Kitchen by night. It's a solid introduction issue that does its job of setting the stage. Don't expect to be blown away, but there's enough here to keep you hooked. The art is decent ove...

Honestly was a little lost at the start of this one, but I'm pretty sure that's on me for not reading Rick and Morty vs. the Universe first. Around 6 pages in it started to click though and I got into it. It's got that classic Rick and Morty feel once it gets going and it actually made me want to go...

DC K.O. #2 is a step up from the first issue and a genuinely great time. The tournament is in full swing, and what makes this round clever is that rather than straight one-on-one fights, the 32 champions are racing across a deadly arena to claim the most powerful weapons and artifacts in the DCU. It...

Javier Rodríguez's art alone is worth the price of admission. The kaleidoscopic colors, the psychedelic thought-smoke, the mid-century aesthetic all come together in a way I've never seen in a mainstream comic. Camp's take on J'onn feels genuinely fresh and I'm completely hooked on where this is goi...

DC K.O #1 starts the series off really strong! I love that it focuses on Superman. I can't get enough of that! The story is coming together nicely and doesn’t feel too complicated, even with everything going on. If you've checked out some of Scott Snyder's stuff, you know this one’s gonna be good. C...

Honestly? It starts off pretty slow. But it picks up towards the end and leaves you wanting more. The art from Miriana Puglia is where it is at though. Super detailed, great to look at, and it carries the book hard. Dearbhla Kelly's colors tie it all together nicely too. Not a perfect read but a g...

What did you want from a teenager? I think Dak's father is too demanding of him, unlike his brother, who treats him normally. At least now I understand why his father treated him the way he did...

Gorgeous painted art but the story didn't really stick with me. Eye candy for a freebie though.

Three solid previews packed into a freebie. The Ultimate Miles tease alone made it worth grabbing.

Solid reset after the hiatus. Not the most exciting issue but catching up with everyone felt good.

So much going on and it all works. Heist puking on Hazel is peak Saga humor in the middle of all the chaos.

Good for a freebie. Did its job getting me curious about what's next.
