“GoliGundu” By Udhaya nidhi Review

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

“The Very Final Last Girls #1” By Josh Eiserike & Z. Crockett Review

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

“THE HEART OF JERRY DAGDA” By Kons Gkos Review

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

“Brutopia: The Poshlost of Mohammed: Book 5: Islamonausea & Copium” By  Talha Dahlan Review

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

“FCBD 2020: Spider-Man/Venom #1” By Donny Cates & Jed MacKay & Ryan Stegman Review

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

“Seto Utsumi Vol. 1” By Kadzuya Konomoto Review

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.

“Cyber Force (2012) #1” By Marc Silvestri & Matt Hawkins Review

TOP COW’S TOP-SELLING SERIES RETURNS IN A GROUND-BREAKING WAY! Top Cow celebrates its 20th anniversary with the return of the series that started it all: CYBER FORCE! Top Cow founder MARC SILVESTRI (THE DARKNESS, Incredible Hulk) returns to his first Image series as co-writer, art director and cover artist! 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.

“Pixies #1” By Sean Patrick O’Reilly & Shawn DePasquale Review

Part one! Joe Beck is an auto mechanic with the worst luck in the world, and since a young age, his accidents have introduced him to every hospital employee within a sixty-mile radius. In Annie Hall, Woody Allen divides everyone into the Horrible and the Miserable. Joe unfortunately falls into both categories. To get the girl of his dreams Joe must discover his affliction, ‘The Pixie Curse,’ and find out how to redeem a mistake he made many years ago.

I need to admit here that this comic book has a charming premise and flashes of playful mischief, but the execution of the plot in this comic book feels uneven.

This comic book struggles to land its tone which is caught between whimsical fantasy and broader slapstick and it is resulting in a start that’s more cute concept than compelling comic. In a way because of this problem this comic book fails to engage me or interested me personally long enough to give this comic book a good rating.

The core idea of this comic book has pretty impish, storybook appeal that could support quirky adventures. But in my opinion the only audience this comic book will appeal to are young children who are learning to read and we want to give them something fun enough for them to not lose interest in reading.

This comic book has a very straightforward plot line to it while also trying to make some jokes to appear as humors to add light and breezy mood to the whole comic book.

The characters in this comic book, has a feel to them that makes them more as archetypes with limited interiority than anything else that I want the characters to be so that I can give the comic book a good rating. Because of this its very hard for me personally to invest in the characters’s stakes or journeys throughout this comic book.

This comic book has also a pretty inconsistent tone to it. Because this comic book keeps jumping from winking fantasy to noise-and-chaos humor which made me feel like the creators of this comic book couldn’t make up their minds on which way to go with.

The same thing can be said about the very uneven pacing of this comic book. Because there are some scenes which seem like they are on a marathon of how fast they are, while other moments in this comic book are very very slow. In my opinion because of this the plot feels more like a string of bits than a fully developed plot line.

The artwork in this comic book is in my opinion the best part of this comic book. Because it is very clean and cute at times.

“Kade: Shiva’s Sun #0” By Alex Nikolavitch & Sean Patrick O’Reilly Review

It’s been nearly 50 years since the death of Ezra. Kade is alone and is losing meaning in his life. Unable to sleep, the gothic demon hunter pushes forward walking to new lands and a new adventure. Kade is an ageless entity and his story will span over 3,500 years across various regions and eras.

I need to admit here that this comic book is a very striking, self-assured comic book in the Kade comic book series. 

This comic book has a lot of confidence and it is blending dark fantasy and mythological echoes into a sleek, cinematic prologue. Which I really liked a lot in this comic book.

This comic book has a lot of Eastern mythology which works amazing with the Kade’s brooding, immortal-loner ethos without feeling gimmicky. In a way it is evocative rather than expository, which keeps the mystique intact.

It gives us a fair share of world-building, stakes, and a hook which made me at least want to read deeper into this series. At the same time this comic book does all three with lean dialogue and confident scene transitions, never bogging down in lore-dumps.

Kade in this comic book across as purposeful, restrained, and morally complex. Which in a way made me like him even more than I already did from reading previous comic books in this series. 

The artwork in this comic book has a stark contrasts and cinematic compositions. Panel layouts guide the eye cleanly, and the action choreography lands with clarity and heft. The visual tone feels appropriately austere—almost ritualistic.

The brooding palettes and deliberate of the artwork in this comic book in a way underscore the story’s spiritual and violent currents. At the same time it gives the story a satisfying balance between close-quarters grit and wider, symbolic tableaux.

The writing style in this comic book keeps things spare and meaningful, in a way it is trusting the art to carry subtext

I can easily say that I will be continuing reading this series, because the more I read of it the more I seem to like it.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
