“Astonishing X-Men” #2

By | Aug 18, 2017 | Reviews

“Astonishing X-Men” #1 assembled a team of mutants and paired them up against a villain in an economical fashion setting the book far apart from the rest of the X-line. Instead of being yet another title geared towards older X-Men readers, “Astonishing X-Men” teamed an oddball cast of characters together to take on a strange […]

“Robotech” #1

By | Aug 3, 2017 | Reviews

With no pre-existing knowledge or relationship with the franchise, the full creative team has a lot of work to do easing me into the nature of the franchise in “Robotech” #1. The idea of a futuristic military teamed with a cadre of space-faring robots is enticing and I can’t wait to see what kind of […]

“Rom Vs Transformers: Shining Armor” #1

By | Jul 21, 2017 | Reviews

The more characters that IDW tried to mix into their “Revolution” crossover, the more the story started lose focus. However, the Dire Wraiths and introduction of Rom the Space Knight showed a hint of great potential. Writers John Barber and Cullen Bunn portrayed Rom as a naive and adept young knight that was easy to […]

“Optimus Prime” #9

By | Jul 13, 2017 | Reviews

After eight issues of mostly solid storytelling, there’s something about Optimus Prime and company that has kept readers a little cold in the “Optimus Prime” ongoing series. The title has tried integrate the G.I. Joe characters more prominently than any other ongoing in the line that can be alienating to readers. In addition, Optimus Prime […]

“Swordquest” #1

“Swordquest” burned through a ton of plot in the series’ prequel(ish) #0 chapter. I hope this first issue will be able to reintroduce the base concept of the series and really get the plot going for the comic as a whole. The first installment set up a very interesting premise and a bleak portrayal of […]
