Lonnie Comic Reviews

I was looking forward to some Sandman vibe and I kinda got that in that the script is gleefully full of imagery. The story is painted around us as readers.

Even though I don't dig YA stuff, Achie is an interesting read with echoes of sneaky plot twists ahead. Pick it up.

Bust #1 is an older first indie comic in a line and it is a worthy read. If you like B&W comics, if you also like zombie stories, this is a classic buy for you.

This is a buy if you are invested in the story but a miss if you are not.

If you love Jodi Whittaker's Doctor this is a 3 of 5 stars. But if you are not, these comics deserve a 2 of 5 and are not a buy, continuing Titan's thin performance in the Doctor Who brand.

Art-wise, this is crisp commercial looking work by Muhr and Araujo. Maybe just a tad too polished. It's okay to look lived-in as Dragonsblood invokes a little bit of nostalgia for World of Warcraft. Even the battlegrounds appear idyllic.

I like Fathom better than most takes on Aquaman. Even with its flaws, Fathom remains above average and this issue is more enjoyable than past issues I have read. I don't know if this is a must read but it is a fun summer read.

I'm overpowered by this comic on the story alone. If this issue doesn't hook you please let me know why in the comments.

O'Sullivan's script is poetic, broken clay, and we are poised for just a little more self destruction before the sculpting begins in Mutti's sharply self-contrasting art over (and sometimes under) Popov's painted panels. And you rarely notice the letters, although the black background still seems distracting.

This is a buy for anyone that savors word or art and a blessing to those who appreciate both.

This is a nostalgia-only buy. Get it if you love the Joes at your local comic shop.

There's good to be found, there's weaker. This series is five issues long. I think we can give them some grace and see what comes. I remain on the fence with this one.

The art is nice and returns to the style and settings that are familiar to the reader. Colors are sublime and muted, totally appropriate for this psychological thriller.

While I find details to cry over, I'm calling it a hopeful buy. Completely recommended for any audience.

Klaus is as cool as Thor used to be! This is a buy.

It is told well in four issues, but has two flaws that hurt it. First, the utter contrivance that resolves the story. I won't spoil it but it doesn't even fit the foreshadowing. Second, the tired cliche of the failed pastor plus the overdone pseudo Christian cult figure. They're in SO many horror stories, I wanted just a notch more originality. In defense of Pat Shand, this is not blasphemous or off putting. Just low hanging fruit. It is well written, however, I think it remains a buy.

While the art of Dan Boultwood is completely mismatched to the story, using his animated characterizations and friendly drawing style makes this strange world very inviting and easily entered. Grim scenes are downplayed and readable by any age. An inspired choice by Titan.

Brass tax, the setup could be way stronger and that is the biggest failing. But who is buying fight manga for story, right? Maybe issue #2 will be a must-have.

Sergio's art is nice and high-end. Ulises' colors are good without being obnoxious. Rob's writing has me but none of it will matter if the next issue is not killer in the conclusion of the 6-issue arc.

This comic is plainly a female John Constantine. Chain smoking, British, and deep into voodoo. And that might be my only complaint. Set in the American south, I haven't seen much originality, yet.

For the beaver hunters, I will rate it up on the art, down I on the story, down on the not-holiday. Just not much value in this book other than the reprint. And beavers. Happy Life Day.

Ryan Ferrier writes perfectly uncomfortable scenes balanced with disturbing and sublime dark humor. The only word you need to know is "man-eating pimple." Is a man-eating pimple funny to you? Drawn by CJ Cannon? Oh, heck, yes!

. Greg Pak writes a 1950's American values speech that leaves me puzzled. The social structure is mythical, the equality between classes and sexes is utopian. Frankly, the reader is asked to set aside most known history to slide into the fable.

My Gut here reminds me of Youngbloods. With that in mind I am hopeful for a grand tale of action and supporting cast. The McGuffin is great but not enough to carry a tale by itself. Issue #2 is going to have to deliver on that promise.

I still like it but I'm not looking for another Walking Dead story.

The production values are high(not a pun). Do I feel the need to read the next issue? Yes. This is a miniseries so grab it fast.

If you're already into X-O, this is a buy! If not, start at the beginning as I am going to do. There isn't anything else to spoil or dwell on.

I enjoyed the read and so far plan to read the whole arc. I think this is a safe buy for any comic reader into vigilantes.
