This Comic absolutely blew me away. This reimagining of Marvel’s First Family feels fresh and modern, yet it never loses the heart of the original story. Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s writing perfectly balances action, emotion, and humor, while David Marquez’s art gives the whole book a cinematic, stylish look that’s hard to put down. I loved how the origin story was updated to fit a contemporary setting without erasing what made it iconic in the first place. The characters feel alive—Reed’s determination, Sue’s strength, Johnny’s energy, and Ben’s rough charm all shine through. The pacing kept me hooked from the first page to the last. It’s also a perfect entry point for anyone new to the Fantastic Four. Even if you’ve never read a single FF comic before, this makes you understand exactly why they’re called Marvel’s First Family. For me, this was everything I wanted: a respectful retelling, beautiful artwork, and a story that captures the spirit of these characters.

Ant-Man: Season One turned out to be a really fun and refreshing read. It does a great job reintroducing Hank Pym’s origin in a modern way without losing the charm of what makes the character unique. I liked how the story balances action with humor, while still giving Hank some depth as a flawed but relatable hero. The artwork fits perfectly with the tone—bright, energetic, and full of personality, which really highlights the creativity behind Ant-Man’s powers. I also appreciated how the supporting characters were handled, making the world feel alive rather than just a backdrop. It’s not the most epic or groundbreaking entry in Marvel’s Season One line, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s entertaining, engaging, and a great introduction for new readers. For me, this is a very solid retelling.

Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia is a powerful and thought-provoking story that dives into themes of duty, justice, and tradition. What really stood out to me was how it explores Diana’s character—her compassion, her sense of honor, and the weight of the ancient ritual she’s bound to respect. The clash with Batman adds intensity and tension, showing two heroes with very different codes coming into direct conflict. The writing is strong, with dialogue that feels both dramatic and meaningful, and the atmosphere is dark yet compelling. The art supports the tone well, capturing both the mythic and human sides of Wonder Woman. At times, the story can feel a little heavy-handed or limited in scope, but overall it delivers an impactful narrative that leaves you thinking after you turn the last page. It’s definitely a standout Wonder Woman story that captures her strength and moral complexity.

What I really like is how much character and emotion Stan Lee and Steve Ditko managed to pack into just a few pages. Peter’s struggles as a teenager, his mistakes, and the tragedy that defines him are all there right from the start. Ditko’s art may feel dated compared to modern standards, but it perfectly captures the mood of early Marvel and gives the story a timeless charm. That said, as much as I admire it, the issue is more of a setup than a full story. It’s historically legendary, but not as fleshed out as later Spider-Man tales.

Spider-Man: Season One is an enjoyable retelling of Peter Parker’s early days as Spider-Man, and while it doesn’t completely reinvent the character, it delivers a solid introduction. The story captures Peter’s struggles with responsibility, school, and his personal life, and it does a good job of showing why he remains one of Marvel’s most relatable heroes. The artwork is lively and modern, giving the book a fresh feel, and there are plenty of fun moments that highlight Spidey’s trademark humor. Still, at times the pacing feels uneven, and the story doesn’t always dig as deep emotionally as other Spider-Man origin retellings. Overall, it’s not the best Spider-Man story out there, but it’s a decent, accessible entry point for new readers.

Strange Tales Annual #2 is mostly interesting because of its historical value—it features an early team-up between Spider-Man and the Human Torch. Seeing two young, hot-headed heroes clash before eventually working together is fun in theory, and it gives a glimpse of Marvel experimenting with shared-universe storytelling in the early ’60s. That being said, the story itself feels pretty thin. The plot is simple and predictable, and while it’s cool to see Ditko’s Spider-Man alongside Kirby’s Torch, the execution doesn’t fully deliver the excitement that the concept promises. The art has some charm, but the issue overall hasn’t aged very gracefully. For me, this one lands right in the middle: historically notable, but not particularly engaging by today’s standards.

I usually approach origin stories with excitement, but Hulk: Season One just didn’t land for me. While it modernizes Bruce Banner’s transformation and updates the roles of familiar characters, it feels like it tries too hard to be edgy without truly earning it. The pacing is off, rushing through key moments so quickly that there’s no time to connect with Banner’s inner struggle or the emotional weight behind the Hulk’s rage. Instead of a compelling retelling, it reads more like a generic reboot. The artwork also didn’t help—it sometimes felt unclear and distracted from the story. I can appreciate the attempt to give the Hulk’s origin a modern edge, but the result feels hollow, with more focus on style than substance. Hardcore Hulk fans might find something to enjoy, but for me, it simply didn’t work.
