Eduardo Gueiros Comic Reviews

Despite the occasional hiccups with panel arrangements and the overuse of comedy, this issue introduces us to an incredibly imaginative world that promises to surprise us with its ability to create strange situations and amazingly interesting characters. The issue also sets up the overarching plot for the series, which will make Al take on the darkest challenges imaginable in an attempt to prevent the destruction of the world as we know it.

This second issue is undoubtedly an improvement over the first one, which in itself was already great. The story picks up nicely, and new aspects of the world are explored. The art is impressive and the colors are vibrant. Together, these elements establish a unique tone for the series, which mixes life-threatening danger with jokes and puns to create an amazingly accessible world filled with fascinating characters. This series promises to be excitingly entertaining and incredibly comical, and I cannot wait to see how Als quest progresses with so much on the line.

Overall this issue was incredibly strong. The story takes a backseat to exposition through the first half of the issue, but picks up toward the end. Unfortunately the presence of significant background characters is somewhat lacking when compared to the first two issues, but Als humor makes up for it in a strong comedic issue. Finally, the cliffhanger ending was amazing, setting up the story for a hopefully exceptional finale, in which a number of different outcomes could come to fruition. I definitely recommend this series, and luckily you still have a little time to catch up before what promises to be an unforgettable ending.

Although nothing substantial occurs in the main plot because the flashbacks take up most of the issue, the ending creates enough suspense to leave you wanting to know what will happen to Black Dynamite next. This issue is a great introduction to a series that promises to not hold back on action, comedy, and general badassness.

This issue was an interesting introduction to a new series. The plot was built up nicely to setup up the series overarching story, and climaxed in an intriguing conclusion that the remaining issues will use as a foundation. The art, in turn, helped augment the tone of the story, and was able to vividly depict this darker version of San Francisco we encounter. However, despite the overall positive elements of the introductory chapter, there is still one glaring concern: the overarching idea behind the plot is fairly common. As a result, how Garcia chooses to represent this oft-used concept will be extremely influential in the series success. For now though, I will give him the benefit of the doubt until we have a larger sample size.

Overall, this issue was alarming in its reliance on elements familiar to the genre. However, a few instances have instilled some hope in me that we will soon see a unique and interesting story. I am excited to think about the different directions this series could take, and am intrigued by the prospect of Garcia and Fernandez surprising me with a series that is refreshing and different.

Overall, this second issue was an incredibly successful follow-up to the introductory chapter of this series. It established some important characteristics for certain characters, while still maintaining an air of mystery surrounding their motivations and desires. The story, however, lacks any substantial plot progression. The lengthy, but exciting, action sequence takes up a large chunk of the issue, leaving little room for much else. The purpose of this is clear, but I still cant help but wish that I had a little bit more of an idea where the underlying story is going. That being said, the story so far has been intriguing, and the art has been able to effectively visualize it in a unique way. I look forward to seeing what happens to the new-age EGOs in the coming issues, and am certain we wont be disappointed.

Overall, this issue is the strongest so far in the series. There is significant plot progression in the sense that a new (new) EGOs squad is formed to take on Masse and the other universal dangers. Character development is once again prominent as we are further introduced to the intricacies of Pix and Deuces minds. And the art once again complements the story through its evocative illustrations and beautiful colors. I am incredibly excited to see what Storms and Moore throw at us next, since their initial twists have left me puzzled as to what I should expect.

Overall, this first issue is a very enjoyable read that works as an excellent setup for the rest of Richard and Wendy Pinis story. The multitude of elements in the series promises to unveil the secrets surrounding the protagonists and the motivations of those who cause conflict, which will hopefully result in another successful chapter of Elquest.

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book, particularly because it promises to unveil an environment that is, so far, still filled with questions. I also found the idea behind what seems to be the overarching plot highly captivating, since it could go in a million different directions. Its still a little early to see where this series is headed, but I look forward to learning more about Jake Ryan and Gateways world, and will definitely be picking up the next issue.

Overall, this issue provides us with an intriguing flash of what Gateway promises to bring. Although there is not much progression from a plot standpoint, the details revealed about the world and the character development witnessed through dialogue are compelling enough to make this issue successful. Additionally, the book ends on a particularly captivating note that sets the series up for the truly climactic elements it has hinted at so far. I am incredibly interested to see what Halpin has in store for us, as the world he has created promises to be full of obstacles and conflict, which will undoubtedly challenge the protagonist in exciting ways.

Overall this was the best issue of Gateway so far. There was a perfect blend of action and plot progression that really brought to life the type of story we are going to see moving forward. The issue also introduced new characters, vividly depicted the dangers prowling through the world, and slowly set up a more long-term story arc for Jake. In summation, this book truly brought the series to a new level, and has left me excited to see what comes next.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this first issue because it left so many possibilities on the table. The main premise was established, but the events that will unfold as a result are still a mystery that could take any form. Additionally, Dredds required adaptation to a city outside of his comfort zone promises to inject a certain comedic element to the series that will fit nicely alongside the plot, and may even develop into a key element that drives the story forward. I guess well have to pick up the second issue and see for ourselves.

Overall, this issue advances the miniseries successful representation of the world of Judge Dredd, and allows us to continue to familiarize ourselves with Wolk and Farinas stylistic combination. I am incredibly excited to see how the series rounds out, and will anxiously await Dredds next adventure in this fascinating world.

The entire issue is cohesive in its exposition of Dredds latest adventure. Wolk, Farinas, and Hill are clearly all on the same page, and provide us with an incredible issue to go along with two other great ones. I highly recommend this series; for its beauty, its wit, and its intriguing stories. There are two more books left in this five-part miniseries, and Im certain theyll bring us just as many bizarre and imaginative situations. I, for one, cant wait.

Overall, this issue is an amazing start to a mini-series that promises to deliver an intriguing, action-packed story. All its elements combine effectively to create a final product that will hopefully carry forward as we learn more about what Lobster Johnson will be up against in the rest of this mini-series.

Overall, the issue was incredible, even if it did fall slightly short of the excitement in the first book. The art was magnificent, and the story was solid. The underlying story is slowly developing, and the climax is starting to take shape. The team of Mignola, Arcudi, Zonjic, and Stewart has worked wonderfully together, and has created a cohesive series within which both story and art come together to create a unified tone. The examples theyve shown so far have left me incredibly anxious to see what comes next.

The last two issues of Get the Lobster will certainly bring everything together in a climactic collision of worlds that will determine the fate of the criminals, The Lobster, and the city. My faith in Mike Mignola and John Arcudi as storytellers has grown with every passing issue, so my expectations are high. But given everything so far I cant wait to see how exactly this all plays out. I cant recommend this series enough, and Im saddened to think we are closing in on its conclusion. If you havent yet, be sure to pick this up and join the rest of us in eager anticipation for issue #4.

Overall this issue is incredibly successful in introducing a promising series. This is undoubtedly an introductory issue since no significant plot develops. It is clear that everything featured in this issue is meant to set up the remaining narrative, which will likely be revealed at a slow and steady pace as the characters are slowly introduced. I, personally, am excited to see where Johnson takes us with The Fuse, and how this housing satellite will develop as the story unfolds.

Overall this issue is very strong. The tone and pace are consistent, and match the detective-oriented story we have seen so far. The characters are full of potential, which is exciting given how little we know about them up to this point. And the story has been intriguing because it has not only been entertaining, but it has also helped us slowly get acclimated to life on a giant orbiting city. I am hoping that things will pick up soon, though. It is important that we understand that characters better, and that the story takes a turn toward something substantial being at stake. I have a feeling both these things are coming, and Im excited to see what Johnston and Greenwood bring is in the next few issues.
