Fantastic Four #10 Review –“Weakness in Separation!” 0

OverviewSince James Robinson has jumped on board, Fantastic Four has been in one emotional roller coaster. With Johnny losing his powers, Thing in jail for “murdering” puppet master and Reed and Sue separated from their children because of once too many lies and an endearing consequence that destructed the entire the city, the separation between the groups is keeping them at bay and making them go through emotional rifts. Robinson has given them a struggle to dealing with their probl...

Ms. Marvel #8 Review –“The Wonderful Adventures of Ms. Marvel and Lockjaw!” 0

OverviewMs. Marvel has been a very exhilarating series filled with loads of fun and entertainment. I have immediately love Kamala Khan’s personality since the first issue. She is a very lovable character that tries to really hard to fit the new world she’s in. It’s really hard for her to fit in with herself into school because she’s sort of a comic book geek and she comes from a Muslim/Islamic background that’s really different than what people of interpret of recen...

Batman Eternal #23 Review –“The Legacy of Gotham” 2

OverviewBatman Eternal has been a very captivating series even though it gets a bit lukewarm for a certain amount of issues during the months. But that’s because it’s a weekly series and sometimes writers are busy writing other comics. So, it can come out rushed or have different artists because they tend to have their own busy schedules with other comics as well. But overall this has been one of the best weekly series up to date since “52”. So, you can forgive the hurdle...

Injustice Gods Among Us: Year Two #23 Review –“Let Fear Overrule In You!” 0

OverviewInjustice Gods Among Us: Year Two has been a very jam packed series with loads of great action, even more than its predecessor. Even though there is more action than emotion in Injustice Year One it can still deliver great emotional moments. You will see the bonds of Barbara and Jim Gordon grow and crumble in moments end. You will see the dynamic conflict of the Green Lantern Corps fall apart from a war with the Yellow Lantern Corps and Superman. You will also see how the great rivalry b...

Batman Beyond 2.0 #14 Review –“When the Blood Thickens!” 0

Intro Since the last time I reviewed Batman Beyond, Kyle Higgins has been doing a phenomenal job all the way through. If you have been reading the series, you can tell how much of a big fan of the DCAU he is. He’s been creating so much back history of the DCAU characters that reflect on the relationships of the characters that are in the Batman Beyond world right now. It really gives the nods to all of our favorite DCAU series that we grew to love over the years. At this moment, Terry McGi...

Beware the Batman #8 Review –“A Rebel with a Bat!” 0

Intro At the time, Beware the Batman cartoon series came around I was worried, mostly because of the CGI and the use of obscure villains instead of the main. I was afraid the series wouldn’t do so well and it kind of reminded me of the last minute done well Green Lantern series. But I was very intrigued about the premises of Katana and Alfred being former agents and assassins and I did want to learn more about these obscure villains. But sadly, this show has suffered the same fate as the G...

But now Superman must face Ghost Soldier as this goes on and there’s another threat watching him.The GoodSuperman is really blowing down the house here.

What I also like is that we get to see Sup...

Action Comics #30 Review –“I Will Not Take This Threat Any Longer!” 0

Story After defeating Ghost Soldier for killing the innocent wild creatures, Superman goes after the new threat that’s been watching and sending Ghost Soldier after him. The new villain is named Harrow and now the threat faces on Superman.The GoodIt’s good to finally see where this story takes place and it looks like it’s after Forever Evil. So, it makes me realize that this isn’t a young Superman, that it’s the same Superman we’ve known since the new 52 Super...

Black Widow #4 Review –“The Cold War 2” 0

Story A Russian hit man has attacked the Ukraine Embassy for the “sins” they have caused and now Black Widow is sent to kill off this hit man by S.H.I.E.L.D.The GoodIt seems the Black Widow series is finally reaching story arc mode after having self-contained stories and it really off to a good start. Nathan Edmonson seems to write Black Widow really well and looks like he really knows how to characterize her. I really like how Black Widow is the type of agent that when she gets on ...

It becomes really interesting to dive into the history of the character. I really like how Black Widow is willing to study her enemies and tries to find ways to win tactically. I’m really s...

Aquaman and The Others #1 Review –“What’s Going On?” 0

Intro At the time, Aquaman’s great run they introduced a team of characters Aquaman knew before the Justice League. They were called “The Others”; I know the name sound ridiculous especially for a team. But once I got to know them and see their unique powers or character designs, I immediately grew a love for them. What I liked the most about this team is their distinct personalities and race/ethnic background they each have. It’s honestly the most diverse team I’ve...

Captain America #17 Review –“When a Man Mind Bubbles a Shield.” 0

Story After capturing Nuke, Iron Nail has released an old S.H.I.E.L.D. threat that was locked up for over 50 years and now he’s been attacking everyone and taken control of them.The GoodThis issue is starting off to a rough one. But it still does a good job in introducing a new villain named Dr. Mindbubble. We get to know his past, his powers and how much he can poses a threat. So far, he’s a pretty cool villain with an odd looking design that I actually like. It also looks like the...

Dr. Mindbubble has been a really good villain and I wonder how will these heroes will win and how they will be affected afterwards. We also get to learn more of Dr. Mindbubble’s past and I feel he has a pretty interesting history with S.H.I.E.L.D. I also like how pow...

All-New Ghost Rider #1 Review –“Ready, Set, FIRE!” 0

Intro It’s been a while since a Ghost Rider series has been around. So, when All-New Ghost Rider was announced I was sort of shocked and spectacle because it was a new character named Robbie Reyes and he drives a car instead of a motorcycle unlike the previous Ghost Riders. This got me worried and intrigued about how he will fight or utilized with the car against enemies. Plus, I liked that he is Latino, which means more diversified characters for the universe. I’m surprised they dec...

Story After defeating the natives, Gina gets injured and now Jonah Hex tells her a bed-time story about a time in the past as she gets herself situated. Will Gina make an instant recovery or not?The GoodThe Jonah Hex bed time story tells an interesting tale in his life. It really shows what kind of man he is and what his morals are. Even though some of us might already know his morals, it’s still a good story to read.The art with Cliff Richards is really good and does much better than the ...

Story Shadowcat and Vision are inside a virtual reality from Murderworld while Cyclops and Captain America are trying to capture a doombot who caused all the Skrull accident at Latveria and hand him over to S.H.I.E.L.D.The GoodI think the Shadowcat and Vision story had good potential to be great but it fell flat because it was too short. Shadowcat and Vision had good chemistry and good teamwork. It also had an interesting story that sort of tied to Avengers Arena. So, they could have expanded mo...

Daredevil Road Warrior #1 Review –“What You See Isn’t Always What You Hear.” 0

Intro At the time, I heard the Daredevil series was cancelled; I was very saddened because Mark Waid and Chris Samnee did a wonderful job on Daredevil with some really great stories and great art. It was honestly my top five series to pick up and always looked forward to. Daredevil became an instant favorite character. So, when I heard about an infinite comic series, I was very much excited because it was being done by the same team and I was wondering what exciting story they would come up with...

Story The battle of Brother Blood is all over and now it’s time to read a bed time story from Little Wing/Maggie to her Dad, Animal Man.The GoodThere’s not much that goes on, but Maggie tells an emotional wonderful story that sums up all the adventures they had. You can tell how much she misses her brother, the great adventures she had with her family and how much she admires her Dad and herself as heroes. It’s a really good story that shed a tear in me especially since I had a...

Adventures of Superman #42 Review –“The Super Babysitter!” 0

Intro Since the last time I reviewed Adventures of Superman, it’s been a bit of a bumpy road. The main reason why the series runs into that problem is because there are different writers for each out of continuity stories and the max of parts is three. So, depending on the writers it can range from good to really, really bad. So, it can be difficult to follow this series. At first I really loved the series because it had good stories after another and they were so much better than the New ...

Animal Man #28 Review –“The Animal Family is Back and Stronger Than Ever!” 0

Intro Since the New 52 began with Animal Man, Jeff Lemire has done a great job on the series. He has made Animal Man really grow as a great character. Animal Man is a man that really cares for his family, no matter how bad the relationships been and that’s why I appreciated the character so much. The family members have been great as well and they even make you care about them too. The struggles these characters will make you feel sad and engaging all the way through. This is one series I ...

Earth 2 #20 Review –“Staying inside isn’t for good after all!” 0

Intro At the time I heard that the JSA characters were returning in an all new Earth 2 series set in the New 52, I was really hyped. Mainly because, I was really looking forward to how different they will be compared to the originals and what we might see still be the same. When James Robinson was in this series, he did a really good job on establishing who the characters were and how different they actually are. These characters had very much youth-ness and different ethnicities and background...

Iron Man #21 Review –“The Rings Tears Through!” 0

Intro When I heard, Kieron Gillen writing for Iron Man I was really amped up to read it. Because I really loved his writing from Journey into Mystery and Uncanny X-Men very much. So, I really wanted to see what his take on Iron Man. But as soon as I started picking it up, I really lost interest. To me, the story he’s taken with Iron Man doesn’t really add up to well. And I really don’t like the idea of rewriting the origin of Iron Man. I didn’t mind him having a brother,...

A + X #17 Review –“When the Battle of the Brains are Combined!” 0

Intro As the time this series was out I was pretty interested in what they could come up with the characters I never seen teamed up before. But as soon as I jumped onto the series, I was really disappointed. Mainly, because of the format of two team-ups split into two stories. This format was a big problem for the series because it caused the stories to be rushed and uncared for. The writing was pretty terrible and there was many out of character moments. Plus, the art was pretty bad as well. I ...

Justice League Beyond 2.0 #13 –“The Brainiac Apocalypse Rages on!” 0

Intro When the time I heard about Batman Beyond and Justice League Beyond were returning in comic book form I was very much excited and relieved. Because the DCAU had many great cartoon series that gave a rich universe of characters and stories that left a lot of unanswered questions to be explored. Now we are finally getting a lot of background history we always wanted in these two books and they have been great. There’s one constant problem that Justice League Beyond keeps running into t...

Detective Comics #28 –“When Reality Wears Thin.” 0

Intro Since the time I’ve been reading Detective Comics it’s been a good Batman series that has a different feel than the others. It has the cool detective espionage feel to it that really works in a comic book world. John Layman has done a really good job with it. He really makes Batman detective skills feel real and work in a comic book world. He even does a great job on exploring the characterization with a number of villains like Man-Bat, Wraith, and the Emperor. He really shows ...

Captain America #16 Review –“A Young Woman Who’s All Alone Might Not Be Alone After All.” 0

Intro As I read the Captain America series, I really liked the interesting take of putting Captain America in a whole new world and having the responsibility of having and losing a child. It really puts an edge and makes him realize that raising a child is just as hard as being a superhero. We also get to learn about a new interesting character name Jet Black. She a young teenage woman who still doesn’t understand the two worlds she lived in are one and the same. We also see the struggles...

All-New X-Factor #3 Review –“When the Danger Gets Tough.” 0

Intro When I read the last X-Factor series (which, I’m still catching up on.) it was a really great series that brought something different to the table. It really felt like a detective series with a mutant twist on it. So when I heard about an “all-new” X-Factor series was coming around, I was really happy about it. Because it was definitely something Marvel was missing when it got cancelled and I was itching to see these characters return with something new. But as I read abo...

All-New X-Men #23 Review –“When a Disney Princess Takes a Rise into an Empire!” 0

Intro Since the last time, I reviewed All-New X-Men it still manages to be a pretty great series even despite of its ill-fated Battle of the Atom event. Don’t get me wrong, it was a good event with interesting characters and future plotlines, but it ended on a very bad note. The many problems with event were that towards the end it started to rush with too many characters and bad art making everything convoluted. We just didn’t enough exploration of the characters and the universe th...

Teen Titans Go! #4 Review –“It’s a New 52 Party in Here!” 0

Intro When I heard about the “Teen Titans Go!” cartoon, I admit I was a bit skeptical about it. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it or not. I’m a big fan of the original series and I was bummed we were getting a comedic revival of the series instead of an actual season of the original. I also felt the designs looked a bit weird to me. But as soon as the cartoon aired it really won me over. It was hilariously funny and could not wait for the next episode. Every week I was...

Forever Evil: Rogues Rebellion #5 Review –“When the Storm Goes Rogue!” 0

Intro When I heard about Flash’s Rogues getting their own tie-ins for Forever Evil, I was pretty happy. Because I really enjoyed these characters’ time in reading The Flash series, especially during The Flash Annual #1 or the Gorilla Grodd arc. Those issues really did a good job on fleshing out who these characters are and how different they are than the usual villains. I got to noticed that they really don’t like to harm innocent people and they only want to steal. So, seeing ...

Black Widow #3 Review –“When an Undercover Abandons Ship!” 0

Intro At the time, I heard Black Widow series being announced I was pretty excited because it’s been a while since the last time she had a series. I also have been enjoying her character in many other series and in the movies so far. So, I think it’s time for her to get her own spotlight and hopefully if this series does well it can maybe be an extra ticket to her own solo movie. Because I feel like she a great character that really deserves one. So far this series has been pretty st...

Constantine #11 Review –“When the Love of Your Life Will Make Your Head Spin!” 0

Intro At the time, I read Justice League Dark I found Constantine to be a very interesting character. I really like his snotty charisma attitude that you can’t seem to trust and how he has a soft spot for Zantanna. So, his complexity of a character became an instant favorite of mine. So, when I heard he was getting a New 52 solo series, I was pretty excited and wondered what take will be on it. I never read his Hellblazer series which I hope to check out someday. I keep hearing great thing...

Avengers A.I. #9 Review –“Avengers A.I.-ssemble!” 0

Intro Since the last time I reviewed this series, it’s been really fun. I continued to love every single issue so far and I hope it keeps going and doesn’t go away. The characters have a great relationship and it’s great that we are learning about every single character in the team. No character feels totally left out in this series. Doombot has officially become my favorite character. His arrogant personality makes me laugh all the time. He’s one funny character and he i...

Intro Since the announcement of James Robinson writing an “all-new” Invaders series I’ve been pretty excited. Mainly because I loved the dynamic relationship the Invaders had during the Captain America and Bucky series. This team had a great relationship that still pulled through even on the rough patches of death and many secrets. And I would love to see how this team will get together again even though their lives have changed especially with Namor in AVX. I’m also exci...

Batman #28 Review –“You Are About to be Spoiled!” 0

IntroSince the time Batman began in the New 52, Scott Snyder has been in a good non-stop madness! I think every single issue of Batman has been GOOD and I mean it! He’s written one of the best Batman on-goings ever! He has really taken Batman into amazing new levels that’s never been done before and luckily Zero Year has not stop that. Zero Year has been a pretty good origin story that has been a very familiar and different place and story at the same time like you never seen it bef...

Batgirl #28 Review –“When the Vampire Slayer Takes Rules over Gotham!” 0

Intro Since the time Gail Simone started the run on Batgirl in the new 52, she has put the character through hell. I believe she has really changed the dynamics that Batgirl has never done before especially with the Wanted Arc. It’s of the best Batgirl stories I ever read in a long time and I suggest you pick it up in trade if you haven’t read it. The emphasis on the tragic relationship that Barbara and her Dad (Jim Gordon) have that are one and the same is believability amazing and ...

Intro Since the last time I reviewed this series, it was in a bumpy road but it eventually get back on track at the time of False-Face. So, if you dropped the series, I recommend you jump back on. It’s definitely got the digital features and humor it’s been missing. They have featuring almost every single character that has appeared in the TV series even the obscure ones like Zelda and King Tut and a few new additions have been hinted like Batwoman and Batgirl (Bette Kane). But now t...

Batwing #28 Review –“When the Search Digs Deep.” 0

Intro Since the new revamped of Batwing, it has been pretty good and engaging to read. Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray have really made an effort to make Luke Fox an interesting character. He really gets the sense of feeling of being young and new about being a superhero and he’s unsure about what to do. There is also a new change that previous character David Zavimbe, didn’t have which was interesting villains. It’s one of the main problems it had and the only one I ever found...

Intro At the time of villains’ month I was very intrigued by the character’s look and really wanted to learn more about her and see if this version is any different than the others. So after reading her villain’s month and a couple of Catwoman’s issues my interest in her fell completely off. She had a very interesting origin of dealing with anorexia and not accepting her looks. But the underground tunnel with her underwater cat (laughs) wasn’t good enough for me. Sh...
