Category: Comic Book Review

Newmon’s magical “pend” draws ANYTHING – including any toy or product he could ever want. But after he owns EVERYTHING, does he really have it all?

This comic book had the the potential to be a a captivating and fun read, but in my opinion this comic book didn’t use the potential that it had. But it can just be me here, because this comic book is meant for children rather than 22-year-old university students so it can just be me being to harsh on this comic book. 

I really liked the premise of this book, because the premise of it is of friendly toddler monsters learning and having fun even thou they sooner or later do something stupid. And by doing it, the comic book tries to teach children on why doing similar things which the toddler monsters did in this comic might not be the best idea. 

This comic book is a lighthearted entreatment where you don’t have to think about what is happening on page before you, and I think a first grade or second grade kid would have a good time reading this one

Even thou I liked the premise and potential of this comic book, I need to admit that I wasn’t a fan of how is was narrated and presented to us. The narration and the presentation leaves a lot of be desired from it. Since both of those make the whole story feel very boring and uninteresting, thats at least how it was for me.

At the time of writing this review, this comic book is only available on kindle / other e-readers. Here I need to comment on the fact that the user interface with this comic book was very clunky and unintuitive at least on my kindle 11th generation. 

This comic book has very limited customization options which means you are more or less stuck with the poor user interface of this comic book, which really didn’t help with liking this comic book more than I already did. 

The graphics of this comic book felt very outdated, and it lacked details in the artwork of this comic book. The monsters often appear awkward, and because of the artwork the monsters felt like they lacked personality. 

The story itself is more or less pretty repetitive at least thats how it felt more, because the characters would pretty much do very similar things throughout the entire comic book which felt very repetitive and like the author didn’t knew how to write a good comic book without recycling the same things over and over throughout the entire come book.

The story also didn’t have a lot of engagement, where the story would engage with the readers. This comic book is meant for children so it wouldn’t hurt if it engaged with the readers to make interested. 

The last thing which annoyed me about the story is that it lacked any form for challenge or goals which the characters would face throughout the book.  Which really didnt help me stay interested in the story. 

Overall its not a bad read for an adult, but I strongly believe that the first and second graders this book is meant for would so much more fun reading this book.

This kick-off to the 12-part ”Bruce Wayne: Murderer?” storyline is a one-shot you can’t afford to miss! When Batman responds to a series of crimes, little does he know that a crime is also occurring in the one place in the world he considers safe–his home!

I gotta say that this comic book is probably the best comic book I’ve read so far in my life. But at the same time I gotta admit that I haven’t read a lot of comic books so far in my life. 

This comic book is a very quick read and Ive read it under 20 minutes. Which really surprise me.

But even thou this book is a quick read, it doesn’t mean its bad. Its actually the opposite of that. This comic books is very good because in a way it captures the essence of batman and how it was like watching “Batman: The Animated Series” as a kid for the first time and getting sucked into the world of superheroes.

This comic books takes us in a way under the mask of batman, and actually how it is for Bruce Wayne to be the Batman where most comic books about bantam focuses on the action of Batman rather than psychology of batman.

If you are planing to start your journey into superhero comic books then I would easily recommend to anyone to start with this one.

Cyberbullying is now all too common in the classroom and in our daily lives. Follow the adventures of Newmon and his fellow classmates as they create “doh” creations and take photos on their cellphones with questionable intentions. Includes a teacher’s guide.

I gotta admit that reading a comic book for children as an adult isnt the best choice or the smartest choice but I just did that. So we are going to talk about my thoughts about this comic book in this review.

This comic book presents an intriguing premise that unfortunately falls short in execution for an adult, since this comic book is very simple and easy to understand. Way too easy and simple for an adult. But if a child reads this comic I believe they will have pretty good time and will like this comic book a lot.

The concept of this comic book is blending monsters with modern technology and gaming culture is very unique and something which would make children interested in reading it. But if you are reading this comic book as an adult as I did then you will think that this comic book struggles to deliver a narrative that fully engages its audience which is true if an adult reads it. 

The story revolves around a cast of quirky monster characters who navigate a world dominated by smartphones and gaming. While this setup could lead to humorous and insightful commentary on our tech-obsessed lives, the execution lacks the depth and creativity needed to make it truly compelling.

For an adult this story feels very  disjointed, jumping from one scenario to another without providing a coherent storyline or emotional stakes.

The artwork, while colorful and dynamic, often feels cluttered and chaotic. Instead of enhancing the narrative, the illustrations can detract from it, making it difficult to follow the action or appreciate the character designs. There are moments of potential, particularly in the monster designs, but they are overshadowed by inconsistent execution.

Character development is another area where “Monster Me #1” falters. The characters are introduced with little backstory or depth, leaving them feeling flat and one-dimensional. This lack of development makes it hard for readers to form any attachment or care about their journeys.

Despite its flaws, there are occasional glimpses of humor and creativity that shine through, hinting at what could have been a more engaging story. However, these moments are few and far between, making it difficult to overlook the overall lack of cohesion.

The Inventor is the story of how one man stood against the goliaths of industry and changed the world with nothing but his mind, passion, and vision for a better humanity. At the end of the 19th century, during a time when inventors were known as wizards and corporations considered their kingdoms, emerged an extraordinary league of gentlemen who shaped the modern world with their minds, money and machines. Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, J.P. Morgan, Guglielmo Marconi, Mark Twain, Lord Kelvin, Swami Vivekananda and others stood at the helm of the ship as the perfect storm was approaching. 

I gotta admit here, I really like this comic book. Since it is captivating from the very first page, offering a delightful blend of creativity, adventure, and emotional depth.

The plot of this comic book is about a young inventor with dreams that stretch beyond the ordinary. Which I personally really liked and found to be very interesting and enjoyable.

The storytelling in this comic book is good since the narrative of this comic book is both engaging and thought-provoking.

The protagonist’s journey is filled with challenges and discoveries, making it easy for us as readers to root for their success. 

The pacing in this comic book is in my opinion very spot-on, with a perfect balance of action, character development, and world-building that keeps the reader hooked.

In my opinion the artwork in this comic book is a standout element of this comic. Since the illustrations in this comic book are vibrant and dynamic, perfectly complementing the narrative. Each panel is meticulously crafted, bringing the inventive creations and fantastical settings to life.

The character designs are expressive, capturing a range of emotions that enhance the storytelling.

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 im gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

I gotta admit that I liked this preview a fair share which made me put the full version of this comics on my TBR list to be read at some point within the next 10 years. 

This preview presents an exciting and promising introduction to a new fantasy saga which was really captivating for me. This preview show us that the full version of this comic book has a rich word and the characters in it are pretty compelling.

One of the standout features of this preview is the immersive world it presents to us as readers. At the same time this preview presents the lore to be richly detailed, hinting at a complex history and a vibrant culture

The concept which this preview presents was in a way powerful artifact central to the plot, is intriguing and serves as a great catalyst for the unfolding conflict.

The storytelling in this preview was very engaging and at the same time it was skillfully weaving together elements of mystery, adventure, and magic.

The artwork in this preview did complements the narrative beautifully, with dynamic illustrations that bring the characters and settings to life. At the same type the artwork did capture the essence of the world and

The character designs are particularly noteworthy, showcasing a diverse cast that adds depth to the story.

Character development is another strong point in this preview. The protagonists are introduced with clear motivations and relatable struggles.

The dynamics between characters in this preview are well-crafted, hinting at personal growth and potential conflicts that promise to unfold in the full series.

However, the preview does leave some questions unanswered, which is both a strength and a weakness. While it successfully piques interest and builds anticipation, some readers may find the pacing a bit uneven, particularly in the exposition. 

A bit more balance between action and background detail could in my opinion really improve the overall flow of the narrative.

Also illustrations from Scott Lee (PITT Crew) and Dean Ormstrom (Lucifer) and many others. The artbook also features a 10 page section of new artwork from leading industry artists. A must-have for any ReBoot and animation fans!

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 offers us the artistic journey behind “ReBoot. Which ive heard was a big part of a lot of people’s childhoods but not mine since I never heard about this series before reading this preview.

The artwork is very stunning and it offers us a unique animation style to this preview. Since the illustrations are vibrant and showcase the creativity that went into bringing the digital world of Mainframe to life.

We as readers get the behind-the-scenes glimpses of character designs, concept art, and the evolution of the visual style throughout the series.

One of the things which annoyed me a lot in this preview was the lack of cohesive narrative. Since the storyline in this preview often feels disjointed and lacking in depth. We don’t get a lot of context about the creative process or insights into the challenges faced by the artists and animators of this series.

The information we do get in this preview feels somewhat surface-level, which can leave fans craving a deeper exploration of the show’s legacy.

In my opinion this preview could have included more diverse perspectives from the various contributors. While there are some interesting anecdotes, the voices feel limited, and a broader range of insights would have enriched the overall experience. Because I think it would have helped to capture the collective effort that went into creating such an innovative series.

This preview gives us an somewhat intriguing glimpse into a world brimming with magic, mystery, and mayhem but I personally was left with mixed feeling on this one after reading this preview. 

This preview has some promising elements, but there are times where it feels like it’s still trying finding its footing on how to get people to read the entire comic book not only this preview 

This preview has a unique and engaging premise about weaving together themes of witchcraft and adventure that could captivate fans of the genre. A part of me liked a lot the blend of fantasy and action in this preview since it was well made and the setup of this preview hints at a rich lore that could be explored further in the full comic book. However there are times in this preview that feels in a way uneven because there are a fair share of moments where the story rushes through its premise without fully fleshing out its central ideas.

The characters in this preview are very mixed bag when it comes to this preview. Because some characters are introduced with intriguing backgrounds and motivations, making them relatable and engaging. But at the same time there are other characters in this preview which come across as one-dimensional, lacking the depth needed to make readers truly care about their journeys.

The characters in this preview are very inconsistent because some are good while others are very shit have feel like they were made by a toddler.

The artwork in this preview is very vibrant and plays well with the dark atmosphere of the story in this preview. Which made me give this preview an extra point for that since the visuals complement the text well, enhancing the magical elements and action sequences

There are times where the pacing of the plot feels mismatched with the artwork, leading to moments where the visuals outshine the narrative.

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 im gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

There are parts of this preview where it falls flat on multiple fronts and at the same time this preview does leave a lot to be desired from it but where this preview doesn’t give it to us.

As a preview should have entice readers into wanting more, but instead, it feels more like a chore to get through.

The narrative in this preview does lack clarity and depth to it which really didn’t make interested in reading the full comic book.

At the same time the character in this preview are introduced to us without sufficient background or development, making it difficult to connect with their motivations or care about what will face during this preview or the entire version of this comic book.

The dialogue in this preview feel very stilted and unnatural, which detracted me personally from any potential emotional engagement. I was more or less left with awkward exchanges that fail to resonate with readers.

The plot in this preview was interesting and ambitious at first, but the main issue I had it with the plot in this preview is that it suffers from pacing issues. Because the plot jumps from one event to another without giving readers a chance to invest in the storyline. As a result, the stakes never feel as high as they should, and the tension is almost nonexistent

The writing style in this preview is more or less a mixed bag. Because in this preview we get glimpses of creativity, but they are overshadowed by clunky prose and repetitive descriptions.

Reading this preview felt like the creators of this comic book struggle with finding a consistent voice, which further hampers the reading experience.

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 im gonna give you the answer for that at the end of this review.

I gotta admit the reason why I picked up this preview of the entire comic book it offers an intriguing mix of fantasy and drama, delivering a concept that piques interest but ultimately settles into a middle ground. It has a compelling narrative but at times it struggles to fully captivate.

The plot of talks about the themes of divine influence and moral complexity, setting up a premise that promises philosophical exploration alongside action.

The writing style in this one is engaging, with moments of sharp dialogue and thought-provoking ideas that hint at deeper layers beneath the surface. 

But the pacing feels uneven, occasionally dragging in parts where more tension and urgency would enhance the overall experience.

The artwork in this one is good, it shows a vibrant style that complements the fantastical elements of the story. The artwork is good at conveying the emotional tone of the characters, bringing the world to life in a visually stimulating way.

The main characters are relatable, but they occasionally feel like they’re teetering on the edge of cliché which really didnt help me to like then more in a way. The character’s motivates or backstories could have been more put forward for us, because at times its very hard to notice either of them in this one.

I gotta admit that I will read the entire comic book at some point in the future, but when it will happen im very unsure, because my reading plan for this year is very packed since there is a lot of books and comic books which I planed to read this year.
