The narrative of this preview is well-paced. And the narrative does effectively set the stage for what promises to be an exciting journey.

The characters in this preview have a lot of personality and depth to them which makes them really stand out and be memorable. 

The main character in this preview stands out with him having a distinct voice and motivation. Which really made me like him a lot. 

This one is only preview which means that it only scratches the surface. But at the same time it lays a solid foundation for further character development in full version of this comic book.

The artwork is very good, because it brings the fantastical elements to life with vibrant and detailed illustrations. At the same time the visuals complement the story beautifully, enhancing the overall atmosphere and immersing readers in the world which this preview tries to paint.

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.

The previews gives us the introduction to a modern spin on the Green Hornet and at the same time it is setting up a world filled with crime and justice which I personally found to be very intriguing and interesting.

But I need to admit that the storyline feels a bit rushed, leaving some plot points underdeveloped. Which really disappointed me in a way. 

The characters in this preview are okay for the most part. The main characters have a very interesting dynamics and they are pretty compelling as characters. But their backstories and motivations could benefit from further exploration. At the same time there is no character development happening in this preview. 

When it comes to the side characters in this preview they have no personalities or anything that makes them standout. And because of this they are very forgettable and they don’t add anything to the plot of this preview.

The artwork in this preview is pretty fun and good. Because it effectively conveying the action-packed scenes and urban atmosphere which this preview tries to give us. The illustrations complement the narrative well, enhancing the overall experience with a gritty, stylish flair.

This preview gives us the themes of justice and vigilantism. And for the most part these themes are well-presented but at times they feel very unexplored and seem shallow at times. 

So will I buy and read the full version of this comic book ? Maybe. My list of all the books and comic book is already very long but if I find some time to squeeze in the full version of this comic book then yes I will read it.

Normally Ezra is rogue mercenary for hire…but she has just embarked on a quest that becomes a personal mission to exorcise the demons in her closet from a long, long time ago.

I need to admit here that this comic book has a very promising concept. Because it focuses on magical elements and emotional depth. 

But the way the concept is narrated and executed leaves the whole concept very lacking. Because one of the main things with this comic book is that the plot feels disjointed, with abrupt transitions and underdeveloped storylines which really didn’t help me liking this comic book a lot. Because it left me confused about the overall direction.

The main character in this comic book had a lot of potential to be a very good main character. But in reality she has almost no character development and she has absolutely no personality at best. Her motivation as well as her personality is very unexplored which made it hard for me personally to be invested in her journey or care about her as a character. 

The side characters appear in this comic book very briefly and have absolutely no personalities or anything which makes them standout and be memorable for us as readers. At the same time the side characters don’t bring anything to the plot of this comic book which really made me question what was the point of having all of the side characters if they don’t help carry the plot forward. 

The artwork in this comic book was pretty stunning because it captures the mystical atmosphere effectively, with vibrant and detailed illustrations. But the panels sometimes feel cluttered, which can did a few times detract me from the storytelling.

This comic book tries to give us the themes of magic and emotional exploration. But in reality the themes which this comic book gives us are very underdeveloped and unexplored which really made me think about how the creators of this comic book had planned this comic book. The potential for exploring complex emotions and magical dynamics is evident but remains largely untapped due to the fragmented narrative.

Part 1: The honor of a samurai, the mysticism of the Native American Culture, and a whole heck of a lot of Old West Action. When a fallen samurai is drawn to the United States to save his wife-to-be and her father, he is drawn into a plot much more complex than a simple rescue. Meeting up with an adventurer, his Indian financial advisor, a mercenary, and a former priest, they set off on a quest to save the West from the strange and unimaginable. Zombie Indians, mystical beings, and mad science are just a few of they must face on their quest to save themselves, those they love, and the whole of the Old West.

The concept of this preview was very interesting for me personally because it is sort of a mix between the Wild West with fantastical elements. Which I found to be very intriguing and inserting. 

But the way the concept is pretend to us, really destroys the whole concept and potential the plot had. Because the whole narrative and plot is very weak and the storyline feels very fragmented and difficult to follow.

The plot seems very undeveloped which left me with an incomplete understanding of the plot. The plot in this one feels like the writer of this comic book didn’t knew what he was doing with this comic book.

The characters we get in this comic book are very one-dimensional and with very minimal personalities to them.

The protagonists in this comic book are introduced with the bare basics of personalities and with almost no backstory to them. Which makes it very hard for me personally to actually like them or care about them.

The side characters in this comic book seem for the most part okay if you don’t think about them. Because all of the side characters in this comic book have very limited development and fails to add significant depth to the story.

The artwork in this comic book complements the quirky, adventurous tone of the narrative, and for the most part is very good looking. To be honest the artwork in this comic book was my favorite part of this comic book. 

But the artwork still has some issues like some of the panels feel very cluttered which only adds more confusion for me personally. 

The themes which this comic book tries to give us are for the most part okay. Because the themes of this comic book are adventure and the clash between the fantastical and the historical which I liked. But those theme seem for the most part very unexplored and underdeveloped.

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 comic book has a concept which at first seems pretty engaging and with the potential of humor and action. But the way the way it is narrated and presented to us makes the whole concept very lacking like it wasn’t fully thought through before creating this comic book.

To be very honest here the plot in this comic book feels very scattered and unfocused which made it hard for me to fully grasp the main storyline and be interested enough to actually give it a good rating.

The characters we get in this comic book feel very shallow. Because they have very little depth to them and they don’t have form for backstory to them. Which really makes it seem one-dimensional.

The main character in this comic book lacks personality as does the rest of the characters in this comic book. Which makes it very hard to actually care about the character’s journey

All of the characters we get in this comic book are very underdeveloped, providing little context or intrigue to the comic book. 

The artwork in this comic book is very fun because it is colorful and lively. Which easily was my favorite part about this book. But the artwork those also have some issues like struggling to compensate for the narrative weaknesses.

The artwork in this comic book tries to bring energy to the story, they aren’t enough to clarify or enhance the disjointed plot.

This preview tries to gives us the themes of camaraderie and adventure. But in doing so the themes of this preview feel very unexplored and shallow like the creators of this preview didnt fully think through everything before creating this one. 

The narrative of this comic book feels very incoherent, because of how fast scenes change in this preview. Which really didn’t help liking this preview more than I already did.

I personally wont be buying and reading the full version of this comic book because this preview didn’t get interested enough to actually do that.

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 set up a potentially intriguing storyline centered around the protagonist. The concept itself is very intriguing for me because it is a mix between mystery and adventure which I really liked. But the narrative which this preview takes lacks clarity and depth.

The plot in this preview feels pretty disjointed, which makes it difficult for me personally to follow and become invested in the plot in this preview. Which really doesn’t help with making me interested enough ti buy and read the full version of this comic book.

The main character in this comic book, is pretty good character but she feels very underdeveloped in this preview. She feels underdeveloped because she has a very shallow personality and she doesn’t have a lot of backstory.  The main character’s motivations and personality are not fully explored which makes it pretty hard for me to really like her or be invested in her story.

When it comes to the side characters, I need to say that they appear very briefly in this preview and they don’t much depth or context to the story. Which really doesn’t make sense on why they are in this preview if they don’t anything to the story.

The artwork in this preview is visually appealing, with a style that complements the adventurous tone of the narrative. Which for me personally was the best part of this preview because of the fact that the artwork in this preview are very engaging and very nice looking.

The themes which this preview tries to give us feel pretty unexplored which really disappointed me. Because the preview was trying to give us the themes of adventure and self-discovery which I tend to love in books and comic book. But this preview only hints at those themes but in reality they feel very shallow and unexplored. 

I personally wont be buying and reading the full version of this comic book because this preview didn’t get interested enough to actually do that.

Core mining, the deadliest job in the galaxy, draws only the bravest, or craziest, workers around. Bumping up to asteroids, typically propelling at astronomical speeds towards distant stars, the miners harvest minerals essential to interstellar travel and commerce. Close quarters, dangerous conditions, and less than a half inch of polymer sheath stand between them and swift oblivion. 

The premise of this comic book is very promising and intriguing. Because the whole premise of this comic book is set in a world filled with mystery and danger which I personally found to be very enjoyable and interesting. 

But the way the premise of this comic book was executed really lacks any form from depth and clarity in it. Which really didn’t help me with liking this comic book. 

The storyline in this comic book feels very scattered, with scenes that don’t connect with each other which really made me very confused at times. Because all the scenes in this comic book aren’t coherent and like they are meant to be next to each other because they don’t make any chance together in the bigger picture. 

But also the intriguing setup which the storyline had (which I mentioned above) is undermined by a lack of cohesive storytelling. Which really made me so annoyed at this comic book at times.

The characters in this comic book had a lot of potential to be very good characters. But the way the characters are presented to us make them feel very underdeveloped.

The protagonist and supporting cast have some interesting qualities, but their motivations and backstories are not fully fleshed out.and because of this lack of depth and personalities to the characters in this comic book makes it difficult for me personally to get invested in their journeys.

The artwork in this comic book is very good and memorable. Because the artwork in this comic book has the dark vibe and atmospheric tone of the narrative effectively. The visuals gives us the eerie setting. Which for me personally was the best part about this comic book

The themes which this comic book is trying to give us, feel very unexplored and shallow at times. The potential for rich thematic content is evident but remains largely untapped due to the fragmented storytelling.

I gotta admit that I’ve heard some good things about this comic book, so before actually buying and reading the full comic book I decided to read this short part of the full comic book because it was free for my kindle. So without making the intro longer, lets jump into the review. 

This comic books a lot of potential because it offers us a vibrant and fantastical setting. But in the way the story is told to us really lacks any form of coherence and depth to it. Which really made it difficult for me to get into the plot.

The narrative of this comic book felt very scattered, with scenes that don’t connect well with each other, which left me feeling confused about the direction and intent about where the writer was going with.

The characters we get in this one are very underdeveloped and fail to stand out because they don’t have any personalities which would make them stand out for themselves or make them memorable. The characters in this comic book have very  minimal backstory and unclear motivations which again makes it hard for me to form any emotional connection with the characters in this comic book. 

The interactions between the characters seem surface-level, providing little insight into the characters’ roles or significance. And there are times where the interactions between the characters feel very cringy and unrealistic.

The artwork in this comic book is very good. It is colorful and lively which was really the best part about this comic book for me personally. But there are a lot of times where the artwork really struggles to compensate for the narrative shortcomings.

The illustrations, though visually appealing, don’t effectively convey the story or enhance understanding. This disjointedness between art and narrative diminishes the overall experience for me personally. 

The themes which this comic book are is trying to present us are very overshadowed by the lack of clear storytelling and character development. Because it doesn’t have any strong narrative foundation, potential themes remain underdeveloped and fail to engage me personally.

I need to admit here that this preview gives us a fun narrative which had the potential to be very good and interesting. But the way it was presented to us really makes it seem like it is struggling to find its own footing and make readers interested in the full version of this comic book.

The preview aims to set the stage for a larger story but in my opinion it lacks clarity and coherence to actually gives us a good story which would make me interested enough to in reading in the full version of this comic book.

The plot is difficult to follow, and in my opinion the plot has a lot of disjointed scenes that fail to establish a clear narrative or purpose. This lack of structure makes it challenging for me personally to engage with the plot or even understand the intended direction which the plot tries to take.

The characters we get in this preview feel very underdeveloped, with little to no backstory or motivation which would help actually liking the characters. Because of this lack of depth and personalities to the characters makes me to not be invested in their journeys.

The interactions between the characters in this preview feel very superficial, lacking the substance needed to drive the story forward. At the same time the interactions between the characters in this preview feel very cringy and unrealistic which really didn’t help me with liking this preview or being interested enough to buy and read the full version of this comic book. 

The artwork in this preview had the potential, but a lot of times the artwork struggles to compensate for the narrative weaknesses. The artwork are often confusing, with panels that lack the necessary detail to convey the story effectively.

I personally felt like there was no clear storytelling or character development in this preview. Which gave me the impression that the writer of this preview didn’t know what he was doing.

This previews tries to establish an intriguing premise which is centered around a protagonist who stumbles into a world of magic and hidden realms. I gotta say that the premise is intriguing but the way it is presented to us really feels like the entire storyline of the full comic book version is very underdeveloped.

The narrative of this preview doesn’t provide enough context or hooks for me personally to fully engage me into buying and reading the full version of this comic book.

I personally found this preview to be fun to read if you aren’t looking for a well made comic book. This preview has some enjoyable and interesting moments here and there

At the same time this preview leaves many questions unanswered and the key plot points in this preview seem very under-explored which really didn’t make me interested enough to buy and read the entire comic book.

This preview introduces some of the characters from the full comic book, but I gotta admit that the characters we get in this preview lack any form of depth and personalities. 

The main character in this preview isn’t given enough backstory or motivation to make her journey relatable or compelling. And the side characters appear very briefly in this preview and the side characters don’t contribute anything to the narrative of this preview.

The artwork in this preview is very good. Because it is offering us a rich, atmospheric aesthetic that complements the fantastical elements of the story. Which for me personally was the best part about this preview.

In my opinion the illustrations we get in this preview effectively convey the mystical tone which this preview tries to give present us. But there are times where the illustrations in this preview occasionally lacks clarity, which can make following the plot challenging.

The themes which this preview gives us, seem very undeveloped. Which really didn’t help me want to read the full comic book.

I personally wont read the full version of this comic book because I wasn’t that interested in this preview to actually buy and use time on the full version of this comic book.
