It’s funny because I think Portella is a better fit for this comic title. And would prefer if it was all done by Portella. I like the contrast of his art style to the story, and think Reis is too close to Neal Adams for it to work.

Chris Y reviewed Hyde Street #9 Sep 24, 2025
Another masterfully written story. It's hard to criticize Francis Portela's art, as it is absolutely perfect, but I think it might be a little too pretty and clean for Hyde Street. I can't help but wonder what the issue would have looked like illustrated by regular artist Ivan Reis.

Doctor Victor Frankenstein has nothing on Hyde Street’s own Doctor Archibald Ego—a disgraced plastic surgeon whose malpractice scars more than flesh...it cuts into the soul. Dragged to Hyde Street in 1997, Doctor Ego now encounters an old patient lured back by unfinished business—and a thirst for revenge. But when the scalpel turns, who becom...
I can see your point. It's a matter of personal taste. I wasn't an initial fan of Reis's either, but his artwork grew on me pretty fast. I don't see too much similarity to Adams - but even if there was, why shouldn't it work? Very few artists reinvent the wheel completely.
For me Reis is an excellent artist with a classic style. I think this title needs someone that can do creepy. Best comparison I can think of is Romita versus Ditko.
Chris Y reviewed Planet She-Hulk #1 Nov 5, 2025
I’d rather have Jen back on Earth, but Planet She-Hulk is obviously a concept we all needed - or so Marvel thinks. The result is an issue that feels like a 1970s fantasy comic, and that’s not a bad thing. Aaron Kuder’s art has its moments, although his facial anatomy could use some improvement. The story is not too exciting, but compelling enough to keep me interested. All in all, Planet Sh more

Chris Y reviewed Amazing X-Men #2 Nov 5, 2025
I’m shocked. This is probably the first time Jed McKay’s writing actually works. He definitely made his homework regarding Scott and Illyana’s histories and it all comes together seamlessly. I also liked the weird little details, such as the workers producing suffering as sustenance for Limbo or Animalia changing into different animal forms. Mahmud Asrar makes it all look great too. So, as m more

Chris Y reviewed G.I. Joe #13 Nov 5, 2025
Tom Reilly is back, which means I have no complaints with the art. A lot is happening in this issue, and while I appreciate more content in times of decompressed storytelling, it feels that things are moving a little too fast.

I found out the hard way that NYX was written by somebody with hate in their heart. Thanks for the heads up about Extraordinary
I'm not sure about hate. These people probably think they are doing good. However, they are propagating a harmful ideology through their comic book writing. Most (or even all) of them openly admit that and even brag about it on X.

Chris Y reviewed Cloak Or Dagger #1 Oct 29, 2025
I'm a huge C&D fan, but this book is missing what has made this series special. There's some interesting melodrama and mystery around Tandy and Ty's daughter, but for the most part, this is just a faceless superhero comic with some sassy standard dialogue that didn't require much creativity on Justina Ireland's part. The art by Lorenzo Tammetta is surprisingly good compared to most Marvel art thes more

I like the idea behind this story, but the way it is written, it just doesn't work. If the Alicia I know would find out that some unknown creature has invaded the FF`s home by posing as a harmless dog, she wouldn't wait until the existence of the alien is confirmed.
