“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 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.

“Before Watchmen: Comedian/Rorschach” By Brian Azzarello & J.G. Jones & Lee Bermejo 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 have remained a mystery, until now. DC Comics has assembled the greatest creators in the industry to further paint the world of Watchmen , with this second volume starring two of the most polarizing anti-heroes ever, Comedian and Rorschach .

This Comic books has the same failures as the previous before watchmen comic we talked about.

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.

“Kick-Ass” By Mark Millar Review

The greatest super hero story of all time is finally here! Acclaimed writer Mark Millar (“Wanted”) and award-winning artist John Romita Jr. (“Amazing Spider-Man”) unite for one of 21st century’s most outrageous and acclaimed series! Dave Lizewski is just an ordinary American teenager. He has a MySpace page, he loves comic books, and he is unable to find a girlfriend. Then an idea hits him: why not become a real life super hero? Soon, his life will never be the same again. Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman, “Kick-Ass” starts where other super hero stories draw the line, taking comic book realism to a whole new level! Warning: This title is for adults only!

To be fully honest I was never a fan of “kick-ass” neither this comics nor the movie. At the same time I haven’t read many comics but this has to be the worst comics I read so far.

The plot of this book is intriguing to say at least. A teen without any fighting skills decides to dress in mask and Halloween costume and start acting like a superhero at night because he is bored.

In my opinion the plot was very weak, and there were some logic holes like how will a teenager without any fighting skills save people ? The proper answer to this question is that he will not save anyone but rather get killed himself. 

The characters are pretty weak as well. But this is a comic book so we don’t get to know them in the same level as we do while reading a book.

This book is very boring and uninteresting. However the art in a way makes up for it. But not so much as to make me give this comic a higher rating.

This comics is very hollow to read, because other than the good drawings there isn’t anything good to say about this one.

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid; Old School” By Jeff Kinney Review

Life was better in the old days. Or was it? That’s the question Greg Heffley is asking as his town voluntarily unplugs and goes electronics-free. But modern life has its conveniences, and Greg isn’t cut out for an old-fashioned world.With tension building inside and outside the Heffley home, will Greg find a way to survive? Or is going “old school” just too hard for a kid like Greg?

This book is the 10th book in the “diary of a wimpy kid” series. And to be honest I haven’t gotten to this book before so this time around it was my first read of this book. 

I need to say that this book must be the best book in this series so far (for me). 

The whole plot of this book is that Greg goes for a car ride with his grandfather in his father car and the car ends up in a ditch. So because of this Greg decided to go to a school camping trip with his class.

To be honest I really liked this book because it showed me that I would be the same as Greg on a camping trip. Because I have no knowledge of surviving in the woods for a longer than a couple of hours.

Greg isn’t learning anything after getting into trouble, book after book. And he just continues to blame other people for being an idiot himself.

Of course Greg is 12 years old but still he shouldn’t blame everyone else but himself for his stupid plans and getting into trouble. 

Another problem with this series so far at least is his parents are really bad at parenting. Because they threat Manny (Greg’s younger brother) as a god and they just end up not caring what Greg and Rodrick are doing most of the time. They only get reminded of Greg and Rodrick when they get in trouble at school or with other kid’s parents.

This book wasn’t as funny as the 4 previous books because most of the moments were pathetic.

This book has around 220 pages (depending on which edition you get) and there is at least one illustration on each page which means that this book is really quick to read. And it can be fully read in one hour or so.

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid; Hard Luck” By Jeff Kinney Review

Greg Heffley’s on a losing streak. His best friend, Rowley Jefferson, has ditched him, and finding new friends in middle school is proving to be a tough task. To change his fortunes, Greg decides to take a leap of faith and turn his decisions over to chance. Will a roll of the dice turn things around, or is Greg’s life destined to be just another hard-luck story?

This book is the 8th book in the “Diary of a wimpy kid” series. And so far I continue to be disappointed in this series.

The entire plot in this book is that Greg is being followed by a dark cloud. It seems like his bad luck can get any worse until it does. 

Greg and Rowley had a big argument over something stupid. So in this book they are almost enemies and because of this Greg is trying to find some new friends and it much harder to do than said.

Greg isn’t learning anything after getting into trouble, book after book. And he just continues to blame other people for being an idiot himself.

Of course Greg is 12 years old but still he shouldn’t blame everyone else but himself for his stupid plans and getting into trouble. 

Another problem with this series so far at least is his parents are really bad at parenting. Because they threat Manny (Greg’s younger brother) as a god and they just end up not caring what Greg and Rodrick are doing most of the time.

“Diary of a Wimpy Kid; The Third Wheel” By Jeff Kinney Review

Love is in the air – but what does that mean for Greg Heffley? A Valentine’s Day dance at Greg’s middle school has turned his world upside down. As Greg scrambles to find a date, he’s worried he’ll be left out in the cold on the big night. His best friend, Rowley, doesn’t have any prospects either, but that’s a small consolation. An unexpected twist gives Greg a partner for the dance and leaves Rowley the odd man out. But a lot can happen in one night, and in the end, you never know who’s going to be lucky in love.

This book is the 7th book in the “Diary of a wimpy kid” series. And so far no I can’t find the joy in this series which I had while I was a kid reading this series.

The plot here is all about Greg trying to find a date for the Valentine’s day school dance. And I need to say that his attempts to find a date for the dance gave a throw back to how much I hated middle school and how pathetic most kids at the age of 12 are.

Greg isn’t learning anything after getting into trouble, book after book. And he just continues to blame other people for being an idiot himself.

Of course Greg is 12 years old but still he shouldn’t blame everyone else but himself for his stupid plans and getting into trouble. 

Another problem with this series so far at least is his parents are really bad at parenting. Because they threat Manny (Greg’s younger brother) as a god and they just end up not caring what Greg and Rodrick are doing most of the time.
