Grace Taylor Comic Reviews

"Analog" #6 was worth the wait and amps up the action to another level as its mysterious plot moves forward. The supporting characters of Sam and Oona take the lead with this new story arc and do not disappoint.

"Assassin Nation" #4 continues to excel with its action-packed sequences and character development. Although it falters a bit with plot momentum, it's worth sticking it out for the final outcome.

In Batman Secret Files the amazing artwork outshines the storytelling in the majority of the stories featured in the anthology. The Bane story, Alethephobia provides an added layer of backstory to City of Bane, which enhances the story for those following the series.

"Fearless" #1 does not deliver on the humor or female empowerment we might expect from a story centered around notable heroes like Captain Marvel. Instead, the story is dull and somewhat relies on female stereotypes for laughs.

"High Level" #5 excels at building its cyberpunk dystopian world, thanks to the masterful background artwork and character designs. The story can be a bit formulaic, but there is just enough mystery to keep you interested in ascending to the end of the series.

Killer Groove #3 lacks a cohesive plot structure, but the compelling characters and groovy 70s vibe keep my attention. As the main trio are brought together in this issue, hopefully, their stories will intersect more seamlessly as the series continues.

"Resonant" #1 is seemingly a typical dystopian story but flips the genre on its head at the very end. We'll have to wait for the second issue for some important answers, which hopefully it can deliver to sustain our interest.

"Sea of Stars" #2 is another imaginative and compelling installment to the series. The ending cliffhanger shows the potential for a shift in the storyline, and I am eager to find out where it may lead Gil and Kadyn and their chances of reuniting.

"The Life and Death of Toyo Harada" #4 pushes toward an exciting and high-stakes climax of the series but maintains the philosophical depth that goes hand-in-hand with its complex, god-like protagonist.

"Watch_Dogs" #1 is thrilling and emotionally captivating with its strong-willed protagonist, Sauda, at the center of all the action. The violence may be unsettling to some, but it contributes to the understanding of the life-and-death stakes of the story.
