America’s longest-running satire magazine continues to skewer everything pop culture, this time in comic book size! This Free Comic Book Day special edition of MAD features a wide variety of classic favorites like “Spy vs. Spy”, and “A MAD Look at…” by Sergio Aragonés. Plus, some maniacal mockeries of some of your favorite DC Superheroes, and a whole lot more from the Usual Gang of Idiots. This special edition will surely cure what ails you with a shot of humor in the jugular vein. And it is even cheaper than the usual CHEAP! Because it is FREE! So, you really would be an idiot if you didn’t go out and grab one!

I need to admit that I’ve heard a lot if good things about the Mad magazine, since its sort of like a satirical humor on superheroes, but after reading this one, I gotta admit that I wasn’t fun of this comic book if you can call it that.

I don’t know if it is just me, but I felt like the entire comic book felt very disjointed in a way. Because it was very confusing to me at first, since I never read this magazine before but after a while I started to get the hang of the comic book.

I know that a lot of people think that the magazine is funny, it could be just me or the this comic book but I didn’t find it funny. It safe to say that the humor in this comic book was clearly not meant for me. The humor in this comic book comes across as stale and uninspired.

But I have to admit that I liked some of the sketches and parodies in this one since they had sharp with, but the majority of them didn’t. And because of the fact that I didn’t like the majority of them, the entire comic book seemed boring and torturous to me which explains the low rating I had given this comic book.

The artwork in this comic book is very inconsistent. Because at times the artwork is very good but there are other times where the artwork looks like something drawn by a toddler. The inconsistency in this comic book really annoyed me because I don’t like it when a book, magazine or a movie I’m spending time on is different at times.

The pacing in this book is very uneven. Because some segments of this comic book drag on unnecessarily long.  While others are rushed, preventing any real connection with the material. Which really makes it difficult to immerse oneself in the humor or appreciate any deeper commentary the pieces might have been aiming for

It’s Spidey time! Swing into adventure with Spidey, Ghost-Spider, and Spin as they team up with heroic friends and face-off against Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and more! This new monthly comic features easy-to-read stories starring Peter, Gwen, and Miles from SPIDEY AND HIS AMAZING MY FIRST COMIC READER, perfect for young Spidey fans of all ages. Readers will also love testing their super smarts and skills with loads of fun bonus activities!

I gotta admit that this comic book was maybe not meant for me to read. Since its easy to see that this comic book is meant for children rather than adults. But since I already read it, I’m gonna review it anyways. 

The plot in this comic book felt very rushed and at the same time very underdeveloped. Since it didn’t go anywhere deep with the plot but rather showed Spiderman with his 2 friends flaying through the city and not doing anything specific with the plot. As I said above its meant for children, but still you should have something fun and interesting about this comic book to make it fun for young readers to read this book rather than just be stuck at the fact that this comic book is about spider-man and nothing else that makes this comic book fun to read. 

The plot, aims to introduce a new generation of readers to the beloved characters, but in doing so this comic book lacks the depth and creativity that fans have come to expect from Spider-Man stories. Which of course I already mentioned.

The dialogue in this comic book are very simplistic and often cringeworthy, which leads to be a failing process of capturing the wit and charm that make Spider-Man such an enduring character.

The only good thing about this comic book is the artwork that it has. But other than the vibrant and fun artwork, the artwork doesn’t help this comic book in another way. The artwork doesn’t to anything to elevate the overall experience of reading this comic book.

The main 3 characters of this comic book feel very generic and they seem like they don’t have any personalities to them other than being spider-mans.

The action scenes in this comic book come across as flat and uninspired, because anytime the action comes around in this comic book the plot rushed through them and doesn’t bother making the action fun but rather what Spider-man has to suffer through.

The pacing of the plot in this comic is very disjointed, because it either drags on for too long at times or just gives us a abrupt transitions that leave us readers feel very annoyed than anything else. 

The narrative in this comic book does lack coherent flow in a way, which of course doesn’t make us as readers invest in the characters or their journey.

I gotta admit that one is probably one of the worst comic books I have read so far in my life. But of course I’m gonna explain everything in this review.

This comic book struggles to capture the reader’s interest because of how uninteresting it is. And how the author struggles to find the right way to present the story of the plot.

This comic book had a lot of potential to be good, but the narrative which was chosen it leaves much to be desired.

The plot in this comic book in a way is muddled and lacks a clear direction, which made it difficult for me personally to become invested in the story. And at the same time some key events in this comic book feels very rushed or at times also poorly explained, leading to confusion rather than excitement

The pacing of this comic book is very uneven, since there are moments in this comic book were the pacing is very slow and it drags on and on without stopping, but at other times the pacing becomes very fast and it just glosses over things which would make readers interested in the plot if they were explored more in depth.

The pacing is uneven, with slow sections that drag on and pivotal moments that are glossed over, leaving readers feeling disconnected from the action.

The characters in this comic book feel very shallow and flat. They are very one-dimensional and like they don’t have a lot of personality to them. The characters in this comic book lacks depth and relatable experiences and their motivations are often unclear, making it hard to find them likable or even interesting. 

The character development in this comic book is non-existing. Since the characters doesn’t change at all throughout this comic book. And they are the same at the end as they were at the beginning. 

The dialogues in this comic book feels very forced and very unrealistic. The conversations in this comic book often feel like filler, contributing little to character development or plot progression.

The artwork in this comic book aren’t that good as I hoped it would be. Because the artwork doesn’t compensate for the weak storyline and characterizations. And at the same time the artwork is very inconsistent throughout this comic book.

Australia’s population flees as the earth becomes toxic. Only the Aboriginals remain, determined to resuscitate the dead land, a land riddled with mutant carnivores, punishing heat, and lethal air. Vaughn discovers a lone child who can breathe the air without consequence – but he’s not talking.

I gotta admit that I had some high hopes for this comic book after I read the summary of this book but before reading this comic book. Because this comic book is sort of a apocalypse comic book, where Australia becomes a toxic waste land and only a few people remain there. But after reading this book is very disappointing to say at least. But let me explain everything in this review.

The premise for the plot was very good and interesting for me. But after reading this comic book I gotta sat that the author didn’t do a good job on this comic book. It would have been much better if the narrative of this comic book was different and started with telling the readers what happened which lead to the Australia becoming toxic and why only few people remained there. But no that doesn’t happen, instead it start right in the middle of it and we follow a character which find a child and tries to keep that child alive. Its very confusing to say at least, I personally didn’t know what was happening for the entire comic book.

To make it simple, the plot is convoluted and poorly executed which makes the entire comic book difficult to follow or get invested in the characters we get in this comic book.

Instead of getting a coherent plot in this comic book, we as readers are presented with a series of disjointed events that lack coherence and depth which why I said above that I was confused for the majority of this comic book. 

The characters in this book are very boring and annoying. The reason behind this is that we don’t learn anything about them and we just follow them through random events in this comic book. The characters in this comic book feels like they weren’t done in a way, they felt like they were just outlines of characters without any specific traits or backstories. 

Character development is almost nonexistent in this comic book, because the  protagonists feel very flat and one-dimensional, with motivations that are unclear or clichéd which of course I mentioned above.

The dialogues in this comic book are very weak, because they feel very stilted and lacks the authenticity which would make us as readers interested in them. We don’t get any form for engaging conversations, but what we do get is the dialogues which come off as awkward and like something a toddler would say as they learn to talk and they just throw in random words in the conversation as they go.

The artwork here is pretty bad, because it doesn’t help to improve the plot or improve anything for that matter. The artwork in this comic book lacks consistency and polish, making it hard to appreciate the visuals in the context of the story.
