“FCBD 2024: Ultimate Universe/Spider-Man #1” By Zeb Wells & Juan Frigeri & Deniz Camp Review

Just weeks ahead of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #50, get the first taste of THE RETURN OF THE GOBLIN! Plus, prepare for the next evolutionary step of the Ultimate Universe as a powerful new hero debuts! But it doesn’t end there! Oh no, there are some surprises up our sleeve on this one!

In this comic book we get two plots, one following the ultimate universe timeline and the other following spider-man. 

I gotta admit that this comic book was very good, and interesting. If I have to choose the better story between the two stories we get in this comic book then I have to go with the ultimate universe story. 

I gotta admit that ive noticed that this comic book is more aided at the newcomers to comic books and the MCU, since it brings new element into it which the kids and young adults will find interesting and start their journey into the MCU. But as a long term somehow fan of the MCU I gotta say that this book is also a very good read for a fan who has been around MCU for a few years now.

The narrative in this book is pretty good, but there a lot of times in the spider-man part where the narrative goes a little bit down the hill. 

I have some few problems with the spider-man part of this comic book, but when it comes to the ultimate universe part I think it is a 5 out of 5 reading. Because the  storyline if it draws readers into the complexities of the entire ultimate universe timeline of MCU. At the same time it gives us a fresh air in a way into the OG characters like Iron Man and captain America. 

The artwork of this entire comic book is very vibrant and dynamic. And I really like it a lot. And the artwork plays very well with the fast pace of the entire comic book, which I really gave this book some extra point for.

“Free Comic Book Day 2024: Star Wars #1” By Charles Soule & Ibraim Roberson & Ramon Rosanas & Greg Pak Review

Are there REBEL survivors stranded on HOTH? LUKE SKYWALKER, LEIA ORGANA, LANDO CALRISSIAN and CHEWBACCA mount a dangerous rescue mission to ECHO BASE! Lightsabers! Blasters! Snowtroopers! All-out action amongst the wreckage of AT-AT walkers, Rebel airspeeders and frozen weapons of mass destruction! DARTH VADER employes a surprise character from the past to help him find LUKE SKYWALKER. But SABE, former handmaiden of PADME AMADALA is also on a quest for the son of Vader. Having worked for him as an IMPERIAL COMANDER, Sabe has enough resources to cause chaos for anyone who stands in her path. How will this affect the DARK LORD’S plans to remove PALPATINE from power?

This comic book has to be my all time favorite comic book I’ve read so far in my life. And why that is, I will of course explain in this review because thats why I’m writing it in the end.

This comic has so good plot lines. In this comic book we get two plot lines, one following Luke, Leia, Chewie and Lando and the second plot line follows Darth Vader’s scheme to capture Luke. And I gotta say that both of those plot line gave me huge nostalgia to my very first time watching the Star Wars movie. And solely because of this I cant help myself but love this comic book even more than I already did from getting the amazing plot lines. 

The artwork in this comic book is so very good, which really at times made me feel like I was watching a animated star wars short movie rather than reading a comic book. Which of course made me give this comic book extra points for doing.

There is a lot of character development in a way happening in this comic book, and there is a lot of the OG Star Wars action. Like gun action and the Sith intriguing and scheming going on. Which really thats why star wars is so much fun for me personally at least. 

The narrative of both stories in this comic book feel very familiar to what we expect from star wars content (movies, series, comic books, books and video games) but at the same time both of the stories in this comic book feel fresh. By fresh I mean that it doesn’t feel like it is just copying everything else we have seen in the past in the star wars movies. The author and the artist gives us the Star Wars familiarity of what makes Star Wars, Star Wars but at the same time it gives us a new storyline and expends the universe in a way. 

We get the OG star wars characters in this comic book, but we also get 2 new characters and oh boy I would love to see more of the 2 new characters we get in this comic book. 

If you are a star wars fan (like myself) and you are looking to start your journey with star wars comic book then easily (in my opinion) this comic book is a very good place to start that journey.

“FCBD 2018: Amazing Spider-Man/Guardians of the Galaxy #1” By Nick Spencer & Ryan Ottley &  Cliff Rathburn & Laura Martin Review

New creative teams. New series. New directions. New beginnings. Fans will be able to read the first Amazing Spider-Man story from Nick Spencer and Ryan Ottley in this very issue

I gotta admit that this comic book was much more than I expected it to be. But I had a few problems with this one a few times during reading this one. But I’m gonna explain everything in this review of course. 

This comic of course gives us some of the OG trademark humor associated with Spider-Man, but at times it felt a little forced like the author was trying way too hard to remind us about the Spider-Man Comic books which the readers loved.

One of my main issues with this comic book is that it doesn’t go deep into the plots or character, which was sort of like a decent “meh” for me. Because I know how good Spider-man comic books can get but this one is very far from being a “good spider-man comic book“ for me personally. 

I was interested in the Spider-man story part of this comic book, but not so much the guardians of the galaxy part of this comic book. Because I gelt like it was a little bit forced and didn’t have the same vibe and depth as the other comic books about guardians of the galaxy.

Guardians of the Galaxy part of this comic book (but also the spider-man part to some extend) feels like it lacks a gripping storyline, which really didn’t made me happy to say honestly. Because to feels somehow superficial and makes it hard for me at least to connect and fully engage with the plot.

I feel personally that the plot line in both stories in this comic book felt at times very rushed, like the author didn’t care for to give us a good story but instead he wanted to be done with the comic book as fast as possible to get the paycheck from publishing it.

Because of the plot lines in both stories being very rushed at times, it leaves little room and time for a good character exploration but also to give us the characters we actually like from previous comic books or even movies.

“The Wormworld Saga Free Comic Book Day 2018” By Daniel Lieske Review

Enter the Wormworld, at the very beginning. A mysterious painting. A wooden sword. A hidden world. A time before conflict. Two friends in search of magic and adventure. This is how the saga begins. This exciting all-new prequel to Daniel Lieske’s hugely popular webcomic The Wormworld Saga will entice new fans in time for the series’ first US print release in May 2018, and tantalize existing readers with hints at secrets yet to be revealed.

I gotta admit that I didn’t have any expectations or hopes for this comic book before reading it. But now after I have read it, I need to admit that it was very good and at the same time very fun to read. But of course (as always) I will explain everything in this review, and hopefully you will stick around to read the entire review for this comic book.

This comic book as I’ve said above surprised me a lot and one of the reasons why it had surprised me a lot is how fun it was to read this comic book. Before getting into this book I thought that this one will be one of those only meant for children comic books and if read by an adult it would turn into being very boring and uninteresting. But now that I read it, I need to say that this comic books was very interesting and fun to read.

The plot in this comic book is very unique and at the same time engaging and interesting to read. The plot here is about a paintings, painted by the father of the main character. The paintings have a special ability to take you to different words or time periods which I found very interesting and fun at the same time. 

The characters in this comic book were very likable and relatable in a way, which of course made me to give this comic book extra points for doing that. We didn’t learn a lot about the characters in this comic book, but they were very good made and we could easily see that they had a lot of personality and depth to them even thou we don’t get to know a lot about them, sometimes you don’t have to give your characters a lot of backstory for the readers to find the characters to be interesting and fun.

The artwork in this comic book was very beautiful and stunning which really shows us as the readers how much time and effort the artist out into this comic book. Which I appreciate a lot and have given this comic book extra points for giving us the beautiful artwork.

“This Book Is On Fire!: A Funny And Interactive Story For Kids” By Ron Keres & Arthur Lin Review

Meet Finn the Frog, who takes immense pride in his extraordinary book. But even more than that, Finn is renowned for his world-famous kitchen and his exceptional culinary skills. With his self-proclaimed greatness as a chef, he believes he can conquer any cooking challenge. Little does he know, he’s about to face one of the most formidable challenges in the culinary world—cooking for a picky kid.

I gotta say that this book is my favorite of all the books in this series I’ve read so far. The previous 2 once where decent 2 star rating but still was actually much better than the previous books I’ve read.

One of the main problems with this book is that this book isn’t really made to read on a kindle, since the cover looks not great, its hard to read and even harder to navigate without the entire book glitching.

But overall this book is a good and simple book for maybe first and second grade aged children. And I believe the children will have a fun time reading this book.

The premise of this book is a frog teaching a lesson about having clean hands, and the importance of having a clean house and room. Which is a good lesson for children.

But if you are reading this book as an adult then well I gotta say that it is less impressive for you then than I guess it would have been for children this book is meant for.

This book is simple and easy to read. And I gotta say that this book has its fun parts which makes this book fun to read.

“This Book Is A Mistake!: A Funny And Interactive Story For Kids” By Ron Keres & Arthur Lin Review

Finn LOVES being a frog, but when a curious kid picks up crayons and starts doodling on his pages, Finn’s world takes an unexpected leap! He’s suddenly tempted by the idea of a bigger muscles, snazzy glasses, and a full head of hair. Sounds fantastic, right?

I gotta say that this book has the same issue on kindle version of this book as the previous book in this series I reviewed. 

But overall this book is a good and simple book for maybe first and second grade aged children. And I believe the children will have a fun time reading this book.

The premise of this book is a frog teaching a lesson about not scribbling and drawing in books, which would have been relevant for at least myself because I used to do that a lot when I was 6 and 7 years old.

But if you are reading this book as an adult then well I gotta say that it is less impressive for you then than I guess it would have been for children this book is meant for.

This book is simple and easy to read. And I gotta say that this book has its fun parts which makes this book fun to read.

“This Book Is Perfect!” By Ron Keres & Arthur Lin Review

Finn is not like most frogs. Finn likes things clean— perfectly clean. His book is immaculate. It’s amazing. It’s PERFECT. (Well, according to him) But one day, an oopy, goopy mess begins to sneak its way onto Finn’s pristine pages, threatening to disrupt his perfect world. Determined to restore order, Finn embarks on a mission to fix the mess. But he soon learns that not all messes can be fixed. And not all messes should be fixed. Will Finn be able to accept that his book will never be the same?

I gotta say that I was expecting this book to be boring and uninteresting for me personally since its a picture-book meant for children. But since it was a free book for my kindle I decided to read it and see where my opinion would lead for this book.

One of the main problems with this book is that this book isn’t really made to read on a kindle, since the cover looks not great, its hard to read and even harder to navigate without the entire book glitching.

But overall this book is a good and simple book for maybe first and second grade aged children. And I believe the children will have a fun time reading this book.

“Mémếs: Real Fun, Real Laughs – The Ultimate Comeback!” By Archie Dean Review

Get ready to dive into a world of unfiltered humor and unmissable laughs with Mémé Real Fun, Real Laughs – The Ultimate Comeback! This collection is your ticket to endless entertainment, packed with memes that resonate, amuse, and deliver a punchline you won’t see coming. Whether you’re scrolling for a quick giggle or need a burst of joy to brighten your day, these witty gems are here to prove that memes are not just jokes—they’re a way of life. Let the laughter roll and embrace the ultimate meme experience!

I need to admit here that if you are planning to read this book, I gotta discourage you from that. Since if you are looking for good memes and a good laugh ask any 3 year old to show you funny memes and they will 100% show you more funnier memes than this book has to offer.

This entire book is just a meme each page type of book, which makes this book sort of like browsing one of those Instagram accounts with the worst memes you have ever seen in your life. Since the memes in this book are very very far from being close to being funny. 

If you are looking for a book which doesn’t involve using brainpower and where you can have a good laugh. Then I gotta repeat that once again, this book isn’t the go-to here.

“Batman: Arkham Asylum – A Serious House on Serious Earth” By Grant Morrison Review

In this groundbreaking, painted graphic novel, the inmates of Arkham Asylum have taken over Gotham’s detention center for the criminally insane on April Fools’ Day, demanding Batman in exchange for their hostages. Accepting their demented challenge, Batman is forced to live and endure the personal hells of the Joker, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, Two-Face, and many other sworn enemies in order to save the innocents and retake the prison. During his run through this absurd gauntlet, the Dark Knight’s own sanity is placed in jeopardy. This special anniversary edition trade paperback also reproduces the original script with annotations by Morrison and editor Karen Berger.

I had some very high expectations for this comics, because ive heard a lot of good about it. And as a life long batman superfan of course I have always high expectations for batman comics. But unfortunately this comics doesn’t life to most of the expectations.

My main issue with this comics is when joker is speaking the font changes to a font which is almost impossible to read, which really annoyed me a lot. Because whats the point of using a font which people can’t read ? 

Another thing about this book is that in this comics batman doesn’t seem or feel like batman but rather he feels like a normal guy just walking to a lunatic hospital where all hell broke lose. Which really took a lot of wind of this comics.

The fighting action in this comics is almost not existing, all the fighting scenes in this comics can be gathered on one page, which really is almost nothing if you think about this comics being a comic book about a superhero who wants to decrease crime around the city by making the criminals fear him.

However the art of this comics is very very good, its very stunning to look at it, but in the end the art in this comics is the only very good thing about this comics in the long rule.

There is also a lot of symbolism in this book, which someone who isn’t very deep into batman lore and comics will miss

“Before Watchmen: Minutemen / Silk Spectre” By Darwyn Cooke & Amanda Conner Review

The controversial, long-awaited prequels to the best-selling graphic novel of all-time are finally here: BEFORE WATCHMEN! For over twenty years, the back stories of the now-iconic characters from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon’s landmark graphic novel had been the subject of much debate and theorizing. Now, DC Comics has assembled the greatest creators in the industry to further paint the world of WATCHMEN, starting with this first volume starring MINUTEMEN and SILK SPECTRE

To be very honest here this comics has to be one of the weakest comic books I’ve read so far but at the same time I haven’t read that many comic books so far.

This comic book was very boring and uninteresting. At the same time it was very confusing because each chapter was different things it felt like the chapters had no correlation with each other.

And the characters felt like the authors of this comic book just doesn’t give a shit about them and they were just there to fix up the illustrations and dialogue in this comic book.

This comic book is also a good example of why prequels always fail. Because going back to the original storyline and trying to re-write details never works but what it does is to piss of the fans of the franchise which this comic books is very good at.
