“FCBD 2021: Avengers/Hulk #1” By Jason Aaron & Donny Cates Review

In a land beyond time, a shining tower stands, deploying its operatives across the Multiverse to hold against the encroaching darkness! Who is the mysterious Avenger Prime, and how will his advent impact on the past, the present, and the very future of the mighty Avengers? Plus, Donny Cates and Ryan Ottley present a story that leads into their upcoming run on HULK.

I gotta admit that this was far from being a good Marvel comic book, of course I haven’t read a lot of them yet but those I’ve read so far were so much better than this one. 

We get two plot lines in this comic book, one is following the Avengers franchise continuation and the second it follows no other than Hulk. 

This comic book had the potential to be very good because I found both stories to be fun and interesting. But I had a lot of problems with the pacing and coherence with both of those two storylines in this comic book.

There are times where both plots in this comic book feel disjointed in a way and they also feel like they somehow lack a clear direction of where they want to go with the plots presented in this comic book. 

At the same time both plots feel very rushed in a way, and because of this some of the important and fun moments in the both plots are being glossed over rather than giving the readers a more in-depth experience if you will. 

Because of those problems I mentioned about, both plots in this comic book makes it difficult for me at least to fully engage with the plot or get invested in the conflicts presented and invested in the characters we get in both plots.

I liked the artwork in both plots, but at times the artwork doesn’t quite elevate the both story in this comic book in a way. Which left me personally kind of disappointed. The artwork feels very dynamic with the plot and characters together, but there are times when the artwork feels very chaotic and cluttered especially if it comes to the hulk part of this comic book.

We all know at this point in 2025, that both Avengers and Hulk are pretty big and well established heroes. But this comic book makes them come off as superficial and as if they are lacking the depth and nuance that fans expect.

“Tank Girl: Free Comic Book Day 2018” By Alan C. Martin & Jamie Hewlett Review

As Tank Girl settles around the campfire with her friends to celebrate her big birthday, she recounts tales from her past that illustrate how she became the loveable, unhinged idiot that she is today. Written by series co-creator Alan Martin, with artwork by fan-favorite series artist Brett Parson and friends. Features classic cover by Jamie Hewlett.

I gotta say that this comic book was more of a “miss” for me rather than a “hit”. This comic book had some good moments to it but for the most part I found this comic book to be more on the boring side than anything else.

Its important to say that this comic book was my first time coming across Tank Girl, since I haven’t read any of the Tank Girl comic books before reading this one. Which might explain why I did give this comic book such a low rating as I did. 

This comic book gives us a glimpse into the chaotic and irreverent world of Tank Girl, which for me didn’t work because I never read any of the Tank Girl comic books before this one as I said above so a big part of me not liking this one is because of the reason. 

I gotta say that this comic book doesn’t give us a lot of action or anything close to action. The nearest we got into action was the Tank Girl punching her childhood bully on her each birthday every single year. Not thats a childhood issues being unresolved if you ask me and not really “action”.

What I liked about this comic book is the punk aesthetic and offbeat humor which this comic book has. And I gotta admit that I gave this comic book extra for.

The artwork in this comic book isn’t the best I’ve seen in a comic book. I don’t know if the artwork is the same in the rest of Tank Girl comics but I wasn’t a fan of it personally.

“Absolute Power 2024 FCBD Special Edition #1” By Mark Waid & Mikel Janín Review

The prelude to the biggest DC Comics event of 2024 is here! It’s a story 30 years in the making… and in this special Free Comic Book Day tale, the final domino to fall in an epic scheme comes tumbling down, and the DC Universe will never be the same. More details coming soon!

I gotta admit that the plot of this comic book is very very interesting, tis book isn’t as much about the DC Comics superhero as much as it is about Amanda Waller and all the shady things and experiments she been doing. Which for me personally was very interesting because I always thought that Amanda Waller was one of the most underrated characters from the DC Comics Universe.

The plot in this comic book is engaging, interesting, enjoyable and thought-provoking because this comic book talks about moral complexities of power and responsibility.

The dialogue in this comic book is very good because it the dialogues used in this comic book felt very realistic and something I would use in real life. Which in a way got me to give this comic book some extra points for.

The characters here are very good, because they have in a way a lot of depth and personality to them which can be seen through the drawings and dialogues of this comic book.

The narrative which is being used in this comic book has a sense of urgency and drama to it which I really liked because it kept me sitting at the edge of my sit during the entire read of this comic book.

“Free Comic Book Day 2021: Spider-Man/Venom #1” By Zeb Wells & Ram V. & Bryan Hitch & Al Ewing Review

Free Comic Book Day is the perfect chance to dive deep into the Marvel Universe with new stories and exciting adventures alongside some of Marvel’s most acclaimed creators – and this year, Marvel is bringing you the biggest and boldest stories yet! Plus, a Venom story written by Al Ewing & Ram V with art by Bryan Hitch that leads directlt into their run on VENOM. Starring Spider-Man and Venom!

I need to admit that this comic book is easily now my second favorite comic book so far in my life at least. Because it is very very good.

The spider-man part of this comic book is about spider man having a new suit and going into a hostage rescue missing. And I gotta say that a part of me didn’t want it to end because I found it to be so interesting and enjoyable. The entire spider man part really got me sitting on the edge of my sit during the entire read of that part. 

As for the venom part of this comic book, I gotta say that it is just as interesting as the spider-man part of this comic book. But the plot of that really was something new to be since I never actually got around to where Eddie Brock and venom being the king(s) of all the symbiotes. Which really got me interested in that aspect and a part of me wished that the venom part of this comic book would have been much longer so that we really could put myself into the plot and how much potential it has for at least a very good short movie about venom.

There is a lot of action in both of the parts of this comic book, and the action is very very good. And I personally really loved reading that.

At the same time I gotta admit that the The artwork in this comic book, was very very good. It was very stunning and so beautiful which really speaks about how much time and effort the artist behind the drawings at put into this comic book.

“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 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
