Janelle Holland Comic Reviews

What I liked about the comic, is immediately the art style is different. Most of the comic is in black and white, unique from any indie comic book I have read. The art also is very detailed with some of the action sequences, without any writing. One of the downfalls of this comic is that it needs more story. Not just fractured pieces, that try in go in one direction. It needs more of a developed story that can tell the reader something. I honestly do not know where the story is going to end up at.

I love the comic panel coloring, each panel is detailed to each character. There are distinct features that the artist draws out, especially within the hair texture and also the shades of the characters skin tone. Im excited to see where Ryders journey ends up at, and hopefully she can continue on being the rough-and-tough woman that she is.

I really enjoy the art, it's really detailed with all of the graphic scenes. There is no holding back with how the killings are displayed. I also enjoy that the art has a specific reason for each panel. Each comic panel gives a backstory as to why each warrior looks and also feels the way they do.

Overall, this third issue is great. Im wondering what will happen with Samanthas next investigation. I think that there will be more snooping around, and having her follow the clues, so she can figure out who the killer is.

I love the art in this first issue. In each panel, when there is action, you can see the action literally come off the page. I like how the action keeps going until it concludes. Im really hoping that Blade finds himself again, and he feels fulfilled going on in his future.

This first issue was fantastic. It had a little bit of gore with some of the action sequences. Especially, when Owada was fighting in many of the battles that he was in.

As far as the art, Mad Cave has kept the standard of realistic artwork. I have never had a problem with any of the comics not looking realistic. Especially when it comes to the color grading or anything related to the art itself. I enjoy each time opening up a Mad Cave Studios comic, and seeing how beautiful the art is. 

It has become apparent, that Keanu Reeves has brought together an incredible team, to tell an interesting story. Keanu Reeves debut for a comic, absolutely makes me want more from Keanu and the creative team. I am hoping and wishing for more characters to be explored. It would be a wonderful addition, to this wonderful comic.

I've been a big fan of this character and spin-offs so I was very excited to hear the originals team was back. My expectations were met. I am intrigued to see where they go during this comic run, and see where B. will end up at.

Calavera is a short read, but it seems that a lot is coming. Including him building relationships with some of the people, who are among the living. I really enjoyed the setup to Juan's story.

I'm really excited to see where Captain America lands at, after having a deep conversation with Tony Stark. I want him to continue to do good, and save people when they need saving.

The artwork is beautiful, with giving detail to Martha, Celine, and Rena's hair. I also like how that each individual girl has their own personality, and effort towards working together.

In terms of the art work, it's very specific with the horror genre. It gives a gory look to the characters, and I enjoy it. It is awesome that it is going to be released in the month of Halloween. I think horror fans will definitely enjoy this book, and it does give 'Marvel Zombies' vibes with many of the characters. This is a great debut of some heroes that I want to see where they go in their journey.

As far as the art, the art is excellent. I enjoy the small details of the hairstyles, and the realistic look of all the characters. The artist makes every single character look different, and very unique. I really am happy to see everyone meet, and work together. It means so much to me to see this art that is displaying powerful characters in the DC Universe.

This is a step in the right direction. I want to know more about where Venom and Carnage end at. Im hoping that across each issue, there is a different situation going on. One thing that I wish they would do, is shorten the stories even more. At times, I did get lost with the point of some of the stories within the first issue.

In terms of the art, it is very realistic, giving the reader the experience to actually sit in the crucial moments. I like how graphic the art is too, it gives another layer of uniqueness to the overall look of the series.

In terms of the art, it is a standard Marvel comic look. I really like the way Dr. Doom and also the rest of the Fantastic Four look. Even the cover looks amazing, and you can see the rock crumble off of Ben. It really gives a feeling to the reader, about how they should be feeling when they read the comic.  I always appreciate the artists, who give a unique take on what is happening in the story.

What did you think of Fantastic Four #33? Sound off in the comment box below!

Overall, this comic issue is a solid one. It kept me engaged the entire time, with knowing that my favorite characters are always on an adventure. I also like seeing that this issue will definitely tie into the next one.

In this issue there is also a wonderful sense of the art. It looks very cartoonish, which I feel is what the artist wanted. I also enjoy that everyone has some sense of individuality when it comes to their features. I also like to mention that they use a lot of fencing terminology, which I enjoy. These matches are very intense, and important for them to advance to the championship matches. Im really hoping that the team gets it together, and is able to win at the end of the day.

Each cat has a personality, and they all need to stick together in order to make it out of there. The comic panels, are shaded beautifully and the panels really "jump off the page. I like the style of art that is presented to the reader.

What I like about this issue, is the action sequences. I like that each action is shown through the comic panels. One thing that I did notice with this debut, is that there is a lot of dialogue. I see that the writer is trying to world build, but, it seems that this issue is doing a lot of that.

There are several action sequences, that make it interesting to immerse yourself in the Firefly word. The artist that created the comic panels, make sure to pay attention to show the different sounds that the 'booms' and explosions have right on the page.

Godzilla is a menace. I am hoping that the team is able to beat him. It seems that Reed and T'Challa want to take him down, but also study the monster. The team must keep the eye on the prize of actually taking down Godzilla. I believe with Reed's genius, and also the other characters and their powers, they will successfully take the monster down.

I have to applaud the art, its beautiful and each panel is shaded very well. There are sharp details to the characters, and even Godzilla looks excellent. I love how the story comes along as well, and it moves along smoothly. This is an interesting plot, putting a team vs. so many monsters and villains at the same time.

When it comes to the art, it is really beautiful, and Alex Ross does a good job on the cover and Jan Bazadua does well on the art within the comic. It shows bright and beautiful colors that display Thor and the rest of the characters who talk to him.  I always enjoy the art in most of the Marvel comics, because it brings me into the story right away.  Overall, this issue was great, and I cant wait to see exactly what Thor will do next in his journey in Utgard.

This first issue is a strong debut for Knights vs. Samurai. I am hoping that there will be more fighting in the next issue. Not only from the creatures, but maybe as soon as the Knights sail toward land, and then have to face the Samurais. I cant wait for that moment.

The ending once again, has me on the edge to see what the next issue will bring. Will Detective Strikeman solve the case? Will he track down any other people that he needs to help him figure the case?

Each panel was intriguing, and the colors were with a sort of edginess. These two issues so far, makes me root for Detective Strikman, and to hopefully solve the case. I also like the complexness of him, and makes me want to delve more into more of his backstory.

As the third issue opens, as the reader, I am reconnected back to Detective Bennie. Bennie is seeking out answers about the woman who he keeps seeing. He ends up on the bed of Tabby, who is nursing him back to health from a really bad injury.

There is wonderful art, that is plastered through the panels. Very detailed images, especially for when it rains or when something is happening.

This issue was good, again there were tons of flashbacks, going back in forth between the past and present. The colors again, are very nice and lots of great shading. Especially with the details in the art, for each different character. What makes this issue great, is that the stakes are continuing to be higher and higher. I become engrossed on Detective Strikman's journey of finding the truth.

What a strong start to hopefully an interesting character going forward. I am wondering how the next issue will turn out.

Overall, this first issue is wonderful. So many diverse stories, on black comic characters that are important to talk about. I love the vibrant colors, and also the guidance of each story.

I really enjoyed that Miles is interested in learning about his roots. One of the main complaints Ive heard, is that Miles has no Spanish representation. This series seems to put Miless roots as the most important. I am excited to see what he finds out learning about his family. I am also intrigued to see his relationship with his parents, as soon as they arrive to Puerto Rico. As far as the art, it is wonderful to see Miless suit so detailed, and it looks great. As well as the art style in each panel, is unique in its own way.

Blade seems like a "big brother figure to Miles, and was teaching him the ways on how to defeat the vampires. Blade then says that Miles must understand the perspective, and bites him. I was so surprised about this, but I also understood as to why he did it. Miles seems to transform immediately, and now he really understands. I love that Blade shows up in this issue, it's refreshing to see other characters that want to help Miles.

The art in this issue is lovely, just like in previous issues. I enjoy a lot of the action sequences that are in it. Especially when Miles is trying to pass some of the tests, while Black Panther is observing and watching. Readers really are rooting for Miles to step up with his powers. They want him to believe in himself that he can do it. I hope there are more "tests that help Miles strengthen where he is, and make him better.

Again, another fantastic job by the art team, to provide amazing images for the reader. I cannot wait to see what the next issue unfolds, and seeing Miles and Raneem work together once again.

I really enjoy the art, it looks like a unique style that literally is popping off the pages. I like how distinct and stylistic it is, its so different than any other art I have seen. There is a lot of dark shading within each characters looks. The dialogue is also very short, but it gets to the point to what is happening in each comic panel.

I cannot wait till the next issue. Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu is on the right direction of becoming an excellent run. There is more to this story, and I can't wait to see what Jed Mackay has in store for the future.

I am excited to see what happens next. I want to hope that Marc still helps out people when they need it. I'm also hoping that Layla can have a helping hand as well, defeating those ghosts!

I have continued to look forward to reading Moon Knight. I can't wait to see where everyone lands in terms of the next issue.

As far as the art, I love how detailed each character is. I noticed that with Bucky, there was a lot of attention to detail with his metal arm. Or, how red Natasha's hair is in this issue. The Iron Apex also has a torn mask, and it really looks amazing in the issue. Attention to detail is really important to me when it comes to visuals.

What did you think of New Champions 8? Sound off down below in the comments!

I enjoyed this first Omega Kids issue, and I can't wait to read issue number two. I hope that the kids can show their powers, and display them in a heroic way.

All of these stories are very diverse in their storytelling. It is a lot to read, but it gives different stories surrounding different characters.

What was most impressive were the fight sequences in between, and how Rob Williams was able to execute them in an interesting fashion. At the end of the issue, there was a cliffhanger that had me on the edge. I can't wait to indulge myself back into the Petrol Head world.

The art is what has impressed me yet again. Its vibrant, and the colors pop out on each panel. I also love the shading of each character, and seeing each individual panel come to life. Again, Rob Williams and Pye Parr did an exceptional job building this world. There is another cliff-hanger at the end of this issue. Im hoping to follow Lupa, her father, and Petrol Head on yet another adventure as they go forward.

I also love the art that goes alongside with it. It's a lot of fun to read and go along on an adventure with Petrol Head. I'm hoping to see more characters of the Petrol Head world, and I am rooting for Lupa to get to her final destination.

Again for the fourth week, Petrol Head is engaging with the colors and also the slick dialogue. Petrol Head is my favorite character, just because of how he interacts with people. Especially how he cares for and looks out for Sid.

This final arc has been so excellent for Petrol Head. Im wondering where both Petrol Head and Sys will travel to in that O-Zone. Its been an interesting ride to see both characters come alive on the comic panels. The art is wonderful, with many beautiful colors , and the shading is beautiful.

I really hope to see Nakia again, and read more about her family. I wish there were some comic panels that explained her relationship with her mom before she passed away. I also would've loved to see if Nakia had some siblings, and how their sibling relationship worked. Im hoping to see another person take up the mantle of Moon Knight, and their story will be a lot different than Nakias.

Each comic panel is beautiful, the colors are fresh and also, as the reader I was captivated immediately. It shows all the brute and the roughness of what the 2107 world looks like. It gives that sci-fi feeling immediately, especially with all the technology that they use throughout the story. I cannot wait to read the second issue.

What I enjoyed about this second issue are the action sequences, and also the art. The art is beautiful, the reader can see all the details of what is going on in the comic panel. I also like how all the characters have different personalities, and the reader can understand why they are so different. Im really excited to see what happens in the next issue, and I hope Peter will be okay as he goes on.

This issue was very well written. It begins very straight-forward as to what the characters need to do. I also like how Peter is written, he is still figuring out the suit that he has attained and it has an awesome power set. I also enjoy Quinlan and Rhys's relationship, because Rhys really does care for Quinlan.

I also like the fact there is a protector of the land which is the King of Rat City who just jumps in and saves people. It really reminds me of a Spider-Man aspect of crime fighting and street-level fighting. Each comic panel is detailed, as always, and the art always stands out. I love the action sequences that are happening throughout the issue. Im really hoping that the worker survives the operation.

I like the art in this comic, like I do every time I ready Rat City. I like how vibrant the colors are, especially in the action scenes. Hopefully, there will be opportunity for Peter to move forward in his life, and not be used as a super soldier. It becomes apparent that Peter cares for Quinlans safety, and the safety of humanity.

This just gives a taste as to what is to come next in the second issue. I want to talk about art as well. In Hellboy fashion, it displays the art beautifully.  I really enjoy the action that is displayed in each panel. It still follows a comic book standard form of art, and I like that. It brings a reassurance that it will not stray away from what readers are used to. Im really excited to see Sue and Hellboys journey as they go and battle creatures and demons on behalf of the  BPRD.

I hope that the next issue will continue the story with Gwen and Spider-Man Noir. I want to see their relationship either bloom, or, maybe something else happens. I want the third issue to also give me a variety of surprises, just like it did for this issue.

I am excited to see where Strange Tales #4 goes, especially for the Hulk. It seems that they might have him under control for a while. Only time will tell exactly how Strange Tales will wrap up where Chante and Shuri will end up at.

All of the artists that worked on this, had a collective idea to pay attention to detail. I really enjoyed this issue, and it seems that it wraps up the whole comic run. I can't wait to see what they have next, for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The art is amazing, it has vibrant colors in each panel. It seems that the art style is also a bit different. I like the shading, and also each character that Emmeline is talking to, has their own unique look. Emmeline did have longer hair, but, she cut it. There was a flashback with her sisters, and all of them had longer blonde hair.

As soon as I started to read, I started to care about these characters. I love the three characters unique bond that they have. The writing is also excellent, each comic panel serves a purpose to the story.

Hopefully the next issue will answer my questions. I really like the art, it is very detailed for each character. I enjoy Lizs hairstyle the most, because it mostly in a protective style. As well as D e z having a shorter hair cut, and Max always wearing his hat.

The art is very unique, I love that its different than any other art. Most art styles are simple, and ultimately are the same. I think that this one is fairly different just because of the subject. The artist wants it to look like a dream world. Im really excited to see how Jeannie becomes more confident in her creative world. I also want her to do well at school, as she is studying the craft of literature.

I love the art, a fantastic and specific look at how Ben looks. It also gives details in each panel about exactly what is going on. When it comes to when Ben destroys things, the reader can see the cracks in the concrete, and the window that is broken.  The art yet again, has that classic Marvel look that I enjoy so much and look forward to seeing in each comic. 

What I really enjoy about this comic is that there is a lot of dialogue, that helps the story move along. Javro seems to make many connections as he is traveling through the cities. There are some maps, that help the reader figure out exactly where Javro is. I can see the world building coming and starting off strong. The art is pretty, its pretty unique, with everyone having elf ears. It also gives a great depiction of the action going on in this first issue.

I really like the art, the art seems very realistic looking. It really gives  texture to  each of the characters. Some of them have spots, long hair, or very textured skin. I also like if they are using different items to fight with, you can see the impact it has when fighting. Im interested to read the next issue, and see what happens with the group.

I love the art, just like I did from the last issue. I love the hair styles, on Shuri, O k o y e, and Storm. They are all different, and realistic to what Black women usually wear their hair. I also like that each panel is very bright, and as the reader, appreciate that.

I enjoy the dialogue, between all of the characters. I like when the stakes are very high, and that the Wakanda nation might be in danger. I also enjoy seeing TChalla being a king, and really trying to protect his people, but also the outside world. He is always thinking about the entire world, and that is what makes him a great king.

The art is another addition, I love the attention to detail with all the hairstyles. Mostly, all of the characters either have beautiful locks, braids, which I love to see. All of the characters have their unique hairstyles, so people can quickly identify who each character is.

I know that the Dora Milaje has an allegiance to TChalla, and they will do anything to protect him. The art in this issue is beautiful, I again commend the artist staying true to protective hairstyles for the main characters. Each comic panel has jammed packed action, that adds to the story. Im really hoping to see what exactly TChalla has up his sleeve in order to defeat Moon Knight and Ra.

Again, like I mentioned every week the art is impressive. It gives again that special attention to the action in the comic. I also love that the characters always have something they are working on. Whether either working with each other, or trying to protect their people. I am hoping to see T'Challa figure out how he can defeat Khonshu for good.

In terms of the art, it is that classic Marvel comic style. I like how they have Storms hair, and also TChallas haircut. I am always impressed how they illustrate and make it effortless when it comes to illustrating comic characters of color.

When it comes to the art, it is simply lovely. I really like how Scharf made Spider-Man when he takes off his mask, the beard he has shocked me. I love how realistic it looks. I also love the way that each comic panel looks, and Scharf makes the book come alive. I also like that I can see exactly what is going on when it comes to what is going on in each scene. I'm really interested to see where these characters land, and hopefully, they can defeat the Maker.

What did you think of Ultimate Hawkeye #1? Sound off in the comments below!

I thoroughly enjoyed this first issue. The Ultimates team seems like they are going to save the world. The only thing that I am nervous about, is if they all start to argue. I want them all to get along, and use their abilities to do good for the rest of the comic run.

What I loved about this first issue is its fast pace. The other characters like Juan, Oscar and Doc all have distinct personalities. The writing is excellent, and each panel makes me want to go on to the next. Now, the illustration is detailed, David does a good job of shading and exploring with different shades. Yet again, BOOM! Studios has given Maria and David the opportunity to bring a fantastic story to the forefront. I can't wait until the second issue is released.

This second issue was wonderful, David really sets the pace of finding information about where the money is. David cares about people in general, and cares about his girlfriend.

When it comes to the art, Narwhal does a wonderful job displaying the vampires. I like how it is one theme, and it really shows how harmful these vampires are. I like that it is different from any of the other comic art that I see in different comics.  The art really shows the graphic nature as to how these vampires move, and essentially want to harm people.  I cannot wait to read the second issue of this explosive comic.

The art is beautiful as well, Marvel sets the standard of art. It is that classic comic book feel, and you can see it throughout the panels. I really like how they portray Venom, and that tongue comes out all the time when he is talking. I also like that the action sequences, you can really see the details of what is happening in the panel.

In terms of art, it has the classic Marvel Comic style. I always love how Marvel Comics looks, and it sets a standard on how comics should look. Gomez uses amazing colors, and makes Venom pop off the page. Especially when it comes to the cover art. I like Venom to look really menacing, and definitely I see that in the art. I also love the detail in Madame Masque's suit. I always look forward to seeing artist's unique stamp on a specific comic run.

Overall this issue was good, I believe that Ellison Lanes journey will take her somewhere else. Its up to her to keep herself safe, from any of the dangers that might come to her.

What do you think of Wild Animals 2? Sound off in the comments below!

Overall, this comic was great. So many diverse characters as well as some of my favorites. I'm hoping that the second issue will bring more women to the forefront, so that many people can read about their stories. Each woman is amazing at fighting crime, and working together.

This was a solid last issue for the X-Men. I'm hoping that I will see a spin-off series of the X-Men Age of Revolution, to see where the characters are. It does jump further into the future, so I'm hoping that I will see a lot when it comes to either re-introducing comic readers to the X-Men, or introducing a whole new group.
