Category: Comic Book Review

Check out all the amazing new releases for August 2023!

I gotta admit that this comic book gives us a very solid snapshot of upcoming Marvel titles, giving fans a glimpse into the exciting stories on the horizon.

This comic book can be used as a useful guide for readers and collectors. But if you want me to say something more about the stories themselves in this comic book then I gotta admit that those stories are a mixed bag. Because some pages spark anticipation, while others feel rushed or underwhelming.

This comic book showcases a variety of titles across different genres and characters, appealing to a broad Marvel audience.

The artwork snippets and cover designs this comic book offers us are vibrant and capture the tone of each upcoming series, generating excitement.

Overall this comic book gives us a brief synopses and creative team info. Which at least helped me to decide what to keep an eye on when it comes down to the comic book realized in August 2023 which I still haven’t read any of even 2 years later.

This comic book is mostly visual and lacks detailed story descriptions, leaving some titles feeling vague or generic.

Some of the previews this comic book has are compelling artwork and intriguing concepts, while others seem rushed or less polished, reducing overall impact.

In the far reaches of deep space, the ultimate fail-safe of an extinct alien race has finally counted down to zero…and the robot army called Dead Hand has been activated. The civilization that built them has fallen…and, now, to combat the doomsday threat that destroyed their world, Dead Hand will complete the mission that their creators could not. Soulless and brutal, this billion-strong legion is the phantom army of a dead world…and it will cleanse the universe by any means necessary. But what unthinkable menace were they created to destroy? And will Dead Hand’s slow march across the galaxy spell death for countless worlds?

Let me start this review by saying that this one is just a preview for the entire comic book. And I read it because I wanted to see if the full comic book was worth the money and time I would spend on it. And I’m gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

This preview tries to pick up momentum with new threats and high-stakes action but ultimately falls flat due to clunky storytelling and underdeveloped plot points.

In a way this preview feels more like a transition issue that lacks the punch needed to leave a lasting impression.

The artwork in this preview is easily the best part of this preview. Because the artwork in this comic book is solid, with dynamic action scenes and detailed armor designs that are a highlight of the series.

This preview hints at interesting future conflicts and new enemies, which could develop into something more compelling down the line.

The story in this preview feels very disjointed, with abrupt scene changes and confusing transitions that make it hard to follow the plot or understand character motivations.

The storyline’s stake in this preview feel vague, and the action sequences, while visually exciting, don’t carry enough weight to made me care about the story of this preview or anything else about this preview.

The characters in this preview, lack a lot of depth and emotional stakes. Which have left me feeling disconnected from their struggles. Which didn’t help me liking the characters or care about their journeys in this preview.

This preview relies heavily on exposition, telling rather than showing, which slows down pacing and reduces engagement.

So will I buy and read the full version of this comic book ? I don’t think I will. The main reason behind this is how poorly this preview was very uninteresting for me personally.

Finally I have read a comic book which was actually good and which I have liked a lot. So without making this intro longer than it needs to be lets get into the review of this comic book.

This comic book is an exceptional and engaging instructional comic that combines education with entertainment. Which made me like this comic book a lot. 

The narrative in this comic book follows relatable characters navigating a wildfire scenario, which helps readers connect emotionally and understand practical safety measures in real-life situations.

This comic book skillfully breaks down complex wildfire safety information into easy-to-understand concepts, making it accessible for everyone regardless of the ages of the people who want to read this comic book.

The artwork in this comic book are lively and very good looking. The artwork captures the intensity of wildfires and the importance of safety precautions with clarity and visual impact. The visual of this comic book storytelling enhances understanding and retention.

This comic book strikes us with a perfect balance between being informative and entertaining, ensuring that whoever reads this comic book learn crucial safety tips without feeling like they’re reading a textbook.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

In a busy police station, a young boy urgently seeks help to find his lost marble. Despite initial disbelief, his family’s persistence prompts the officers to register the case, highlighting the importance of even the smallest matters.

Once again I have read a comic book which was not worth the time I spend reading it. But lets get into this review so that we can move away from this comic book as fast as possible.

The story in this comic book feels disorganized, the characters lack depth, and the overall execution leaves much to be desired.

The story in this comic book meanders without purpose, with little progression or focus, making it a tedious read.

I gotta admit here that this comic book struggles a lot to engage and ultimately fails to deliver on its premise. Almost as if the creator of this comic book didnt know what he was doing with this comic book.

This comic book has a lot of potential to be a good comic book. Because the story of this comic book is centered around a specific theme or character, which could have been interesting if developed properly. But as ive said above this comic book wasn’t developed properly.

The writing style in this comic book is clear enough to follow, but that’s about as far as the positives go when it comes to this comic book.

The characters in this comic book are very one-dimensional and lack motivation or emotional depth, making it hard to connect or care about their journeys.

The narrative in this comic book feels rushed and inconsistent, with awkward phrasing and lack of polish that detracts from readability.

Overall this comic book fails to capture interest or evoke any meaningful response, which had left me personally bored and uninterested throughout this entire comic book which is never a good thing if the creator wanted to get a good rating for this comic book.

The artwork in this comic book are very minimal or unremarkable, adding little to the overall experience of this comic book.

I Give This Book 1 / 5

After almost becoming zombie chow, survivor MEGAN WILLIAMS is whisked away to a secret government rehab facility for those like girls (well, mostly girls) who have survived “metaphysical phenomena.”  But Megan’s convinced her kid sister also pulled through.  And will stop at absoultely nothing to find her.

I need to admit here that this comic book is one of the better comic books I have read recently. And thats saying something looking at the fact that I had read a lot of bad comic books recently.

This comic book is a compelling and inventive debut that blends humor, heart, and a touch of the surreal. 

The story in this comic book is very engaging and thought-provoking. At the same time the story is setting up an intriguing world with strong characters and sharp storytelling.

This comic book has a unique premise to it. I find the idea of a group of “last girls” navigating a strange, post-apocalyptic is pretty unique and fun at the same time. In a way I was completely hooked me from the star because this comic book offers plenty of room for humor, drama, and unexpected twists.

The artwork in this comic book is very good. The artwork here complements the story beautifully, with expressive characters and dynamic panel layouts that keep the pacing lively.

The artwork in this comic book balances the whimsical and the serious effectively. Which made me give this comic book some points for doing.

The protagonists in this comic book is charming and relatable, with distinct personalities that made me personally root for them. 

This entire comic book hints at deeper backstories and conflicts, making me eager to see where it goes in the rest of this comic book series. 

The universe in this comic book feels rich and layered, with visual and narrative details that invite curiosity without overwhelming us as readers.

The pacing is for the most part well-paced. But there are some moments could benefit from a bit more breathing room to fully develop key ideas or emotional beats.

I Give This Book 4 / 5

It’s a comic book about a guy named Jerry Dagda who gains the ability to cause heart attack to people.

This comic book tries to tell a poignant or quirky story but in the end it falls flat due to its disjointed narrative and lack of emotional impact.

I gotta admit that this comic book feels more like an unfinished draft than a fully realized piece. Which explains the low rating I have given this comic book.

The plot line in this comic book had a lot of potential in my opinion but the way the plot line is presented to us feels like is very underdeveloped and unexplored which gave me the feeling like the creator of this comic book had no idea what he was doing.

The plot line in this comic book feels very scattered, with no clear focus or direction. The events which happen in this comic book seem disconnected, making it hard to follow or care about what’s happening.

The artwork in this comic book is very decent. Because it has clear linework and expressive faces, but they don’t do enough to elevate the storytelling. 

But I gotta say that the artwork in this comic book was my favorite part of this comic book. 

The characters in this comic book come across as flat and underdeveloped which made it hard for me to like the characters in this comic book or even care about their journeys through this comic book.

The pacing in this comic book is very uneven. Because some parts of this comic book drag for too ling without any purpose or direction while other parts are very rushed especially through important moments.

The tone of this comic book is very confusion. Because this comic book makes it very unclear and difficult to make a sense of what tone this comic book aims for. 

I Give This Book 2 / 5

This is a seven-part graphic novel depicting the life of Mohammed. The series, based almost entirely on the original and earliest sources of Islam, has been released and is now available in seven full-color volumes. Mohammed, if real, is said to have lived between 570 and 632 AD. It is hoped that with the seven books in this series, readers will gain a greater understanding of Mohammed the man, his legacy, his actions, and his impact on the world.

This comic book had a lot of potential which it didn’t use, but of course I will explain everything in this review. So if you are interested in reading about my thoughts and opinions about this comic book then keep reading.

This comic book tries to tackle complex socio-political themes with provocative intent, but they way it is presented to us as readers I gotta admit that it falls short due to its heavy-handed tone and lack of nuanced argumentation.

The writing style in this comic book is unapologetic and confrontational, aiming to challenge prevailing narratives and provoke debate. Which was the main reason why I gave this comic book 2 stars instead of 1 because in a way I liked the writing style in this comic book.

The tone of this comic book often feels accusatory and dismissive rather than analytical. Which really annoyed me in a way because of how dismissive this comic book sounded even thou I’m a huge atheist. 

The arguments this comic book tries to give us are presented to us are sweeping and lack depth.

This comic book’s structure feels disjointed, with abrupt jumps between ideas without clear development or context, making it hard to follow or engage meaningfully.

The artwork in this comic book is very minimal. Which doesn’t give a lot to talk about when it comes to the artwork in this comic book.

The artwork doesn’t support or enhance the provocative themes, which makes the reading feel dry and uninviting.

I Give This Book 2 / 5

Marvel’s Silver-level FCBD title provides two exciting tales connected to the coming major storylines in Venom, Amazing Spider-Man and Black Cat from top creators Donny Cates, Ryan Stegman, Jed MacKay, Patrick Gleason and more!

I gotta admit that this comic book was one of the best comic book I have read in a while now.

I need to admit here that this comic book is a very good introduction to the marvel comic books. Because this book perfectly captures the intensity, humor, and complexity of these iconic characters like Spiderman and venom.

The artwork in this comic book bring every scene to life, from explosive battles to quieter character moments which easily made me give this comic book some extra points for doing.

The pacing in this comic book is very good because its stable throughout this entire comic book. Which I couldn’t say about a lot of comic books I had read recently.

The plot line in this comic book is very engaging. The story is well well made and in a way the story has a lot layers to it but at the same time it is balancing the heroics and darker themes without losing the fun. 

The plot of this comic book has easily hooked me into the plot line and I just couldn’t stop reading this comic book until I was completely done with it.

Spider-Man and Venom are both portrayed in this comic book with a lot of depth to them. Both of those characters had showed their strengths, vulnerabilities, and complex relationship which made me like this comic book even more than I already did.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

This manga has been made into a movie and a TV drama in japan.”I wish we could just spend all our high school days sittin’ and chattin’ by this river.” This seven chapter volume is a collection of the funky, off-the-wall, and sometimes cynical after-school conversations between Seto and Utsumi, two high-schoolers from the Kansai region of Japan.

This comic book tries to blend slice-of-life humor with a sports theme but in my opinion this falls flat in is presented to us as readers. 

The characters in this comic book feel very underdeveloped and like the creators of this comic book didnt exactly know what they were doing when it came down to the characters. 

The characters feel overly stereotypical in this comic book. At the same time the characters in this comic book lack nuance which made it hard for me personally to connect or care about their journeys.

The plot in this comic book is just as underdeveloped and unexplored as the characters in this comic book. Which really annoyed me a lot because the plot in this comic book had a lot of potential to it. 

The pacing in this comic book is all over the place. Because some scenes are dragging on without an end while other scenes are very rushed especially through important moments.

The humor aspect of this comic book, really misses the mark in my opinion. Because the humor which the creators tried to go with felt more cringy to me than actually being funny. 

The artwork in this comic book was easily my favorite aspect of this comic book because of how cute and clean it was. The artwork made it very easy to follow the characters and action. 

The artwork is the only reason why I gave this comic book 2 stars instead of one star. Which in my opinion speaks for itself how good the artwork was that it made me give this comic book a whole star more to the rating.

Co-writer MATT HAWKINS (THINK TANK, LADY PENDRAGON) and artist KHOI PHAM (Mighty Avengers, Daredevil) join SILVESTRI to bring you a contemporary re-imagining rooted in cutting edge, real world technology. Carin Taylor, codenamed Velocity, has escaped from the CDI controlled Millennium City and is desperately trying to find the one man she believes can help her prevent the end of the world. When she runs a group of other CDI escapees, will they help her… or turn their backs?

I need to admit here that this comic book gives us a pretty solid sci-fi action and an on-ramp to the franchise’s transhuman corporate-conspiracy roots, without fully distinguishing itself from other cyberpunk-adjacent team books.

I need to admit that the plot in this comic book is very interesting because it talks about corporate surveillance, predictive algorithms, and bio-augmentation which I personally found to be very fun and enjoyable.

However when it comes to the characters in this comic book I had a very hard time telling the characters apart. Because all of the characters in this comic book felt like the same person because they had very similar personalities to each other. 

The world building aspect of this comic book sometimes leans on tell over show, slowing momentum between action beats. Which hasn’t worked for me personally which is the reason why I haven’t given this comic book a higher rating.

The artwork in this comic book are very polished which was easily my favorite aspect of this comic book. The tech designs and cybernetic detail are standout because of how good they were. 

Cool palettes and neon which this comic book has accents sell the cyberpunk vibe without tipping into visual noise.
