Seth A. Romo Comic Reviews

The 27 Run: Crash is an entertaining and unique spin on the Kaiju and mech genre. Despite its post-apocalyptic setting, it never takes itself too seriously and is full of unexpected chuckles amongst the backdrop of destruction.

Fans of the series, or even so-so fans such as myself will definitely enjoy this issue. There is a strong main story that is balanced well and the bonus stories are sure to make followers of the Super Family happy to see more of the characters having their own adventures.

As a whole this issue is enjoyable, however, there are some elements that may leave readers a bit nervous. The scale in which the issue ends is a risky move that puts a lot of pressure to stick the landing. Bizarros personality can be an acquired taste and mileage may vary depending on the reader, however, there is still a story worth following that could prove Action Comics is in good hands.

This issue is worth reading, however, the pacing is a glaring problem that may result in readers less than enthusiastic about the story. If not for the story, the art alone makes for a great read.

This issue is rich in lore and epic from start to finish. It's an oversized issue making each read better and better. Fans of blades and blood need look no further than this series from Oni Press.

This issue is worth checking out and I was excited to see a branch of the Themyscira universe participate in the conspiracy from the main Wonder Woman story. I am excited to see where the team goes and what situations Campbell has ready in future issues.

Batman fans, crime fans, or anyone looking for a gritty comic on the shelves, be sure to check out this series. Grampas story may not be for the faint of heart, but it certainly is worth exploring for the bloody and gritty experience.

This issue is not for the faint of heart but for those willing to dive into it, they are certainly in for an exciting new tale. Grampa is definitely on his way to cement a bold new version of Batman that is not only worth checking out, but will set a high standard for other elseworld tales.

Comic book fans who haven't had a chance to dive into this rich world should be on the lookout at their LCS. The visuals make this an instant pick up and the story continues to impress.

I thoroughly enjoyed this issue and cant wait for issue two to drop. Fans of Kelly Thompson, DC Comics, or kick ass teams with a creative force behind them, are sure to enjoy this issue. So make a plan, and pick this up at your LCS. You wont regret it.

Fans of the series are definitely due for a treat with this issue. It perfectly balances pacing while still having its place in the overall story. From the writing to the art and colors, damn this issue is great.

This issue is the weakest so far, however, in a series where every issue has knocked it out of the park it is still among great comics from the entire creative team. Readers who have been following the series might not enjoy this issue as much, but its worth checking out and letting the art do much of the heavy lifting.

The ending does have a hook for the next arc and this is a welcome note considering Thompson is doing such a great job with the title.

This series premiere draws readers in with its captivating narrative, slowly pulling them in until the third act grabs hold, leaving no escape. Dark Empty Void is sharply written and beautifully illustrated.

This issue has such a good build up and a satisfying fight at the end that is truly epic. Combined with a tight script and unique themes, this issue is a solid entry that is entertaining and visually stunning.

Furthermore, the back up story is well done in its narrative around Mr. Freeze. Fans of this run will definitely enjoy this issue as it sets the stage for what is coming next.

This is a well done issue of Detective Comics and fans of this story arc will be thrilled with how the mystery is unweaving itself. The entire package yells quality and keeps that epic feel despite being just a piece of the larger puzzle.

This issue does a great job at unveiling the mystery of the Orgham family without derailing the larger plot. The story, structure, and art make for another great entry into this run.

This issue was fast and filled with action. The inclusion of the Batfamily was a great addition and made for an exciting issue.

The entire run so far has been a great journey, but this particular issue feels like a high standard to compete against.

Fans of this series and anyone jumping into this issue will likely find something to be impressed by. Its an incredibly solid return to the series and while I am excited to know what is next for the Orgham family, I appreciate the easing back into this operatic saga.

If you e been following the series this issue still contributes to the larger narrative but a core of the experience makes the issue feel like a one shot.

If you plan on picking up this issue you wont regret it. The cover from Evan Cagle is awesome and from beginning to end, I was hooked and was so glad to have seen how this operatic saga is still going strong.

As a whole, this issue is a good entry in the series. I felt the pacing, plot, and art all made for an enjoyable read and Im still invested in knowing what will happen next.

For those following the Orgham saga and Catwomans plan to save Batman, this issue is quick and keeps the tension. While it may not be new reader friendly, its still a very enjoyable read.

This issue was a great entry that brings in other characters in Batmans quest to stop the Orgham family. I hope the plot gets back to the battle in Gotham soon though as readers are likely ready to see how the overall story shakes out.

This issue is enjoyable and definitely warrants multiple read throughs. The quality has been consistent so fans will still find a lot to appreciate, but readers be wary with the multiple plot points.

As an entry in the Detective Comics series, this issue holds its own and is definitely worth picking up. The main story alone makes it worth checking out as readers will be pleased with the stunning visuals.

This issue manages to pack a lot of themes, commentary, and tones throughout the pages while still making for an entertaining read. Ram Vs run has always been about taking time to experience the story and visuals and this issue continues that trend. While readers may benefit from multiple reads, there is a lot to offer each time making for a great experience.

From start to finish, there is a lot to appreciate about what the entire team has put together. Granted, readers who have been following the series will have the most enjoymentbut this story has been worth investing in as the saga continues to get better and better.

Comic book fans, or fans of crime thrillers, have a fantastic new story to follow with this first issue. The writing is sharp and the art is a perfect moody balance for a noir story worth checking out. While Dick Tracy as a character may be nearly 100 years old, that doesn't mean he's done solving crimes and luckily for comic book readers, many aren't tired of reading about adventures from the classic detective.

Eve: Children of the Moon #3 is a strong addition to the overarching story. While the pacing feels rushed, the payoff on new characters introduced feel like this story is still just beginning.

Eve #5 changes the expectations of what an ending should be in unique ways. Its a refreshing close to this arc and while it ducks to day giant to certain characters, I cant help but think theyll return. This story is likely far from over.

This series premiere strikes a balance of new lore while paying homage to the source material. If you've never witnessed what a can of spinach can do, then look no furtherEye Lie Popeye is every bit as explosive as it is fun.

From beginning to end, Falling in Love on the Path to Hell is so damn good and sets a high standard within its imaginative storytelling and blood-soaked panels. It's top-notch writing and excellent art design make perfect use of every page and rewards readers with an epic tale that traverses continents and realities.

DC comics fans should pick up this issue as each story feels exciting and fresh and part of the DC Universe. The writing and art production of each story is well done. There is no disconnect and what will likely be a great new wave of characters for DC fans.

There's so much to be excited about with this story and horror fans will certainly appreciate the juxtaposition of adorable cats and infected beasts. As a premiere issue, it's captivating, has a purr-fect hook, and comic book fans won't regret picking this up.

Flash 797 is a fun issue that doesnt have any major stakes in the Flash series. Despite having a weak plot and jarring change in art style halfway through, it was still an overall decent experience.

DSTLRYs first issue of Devils Cut may have showcased writers and artists, but this premiere series for the publisher is certainly setting a high standard for what's to come from the company. Im a big believer in creator owned content because of the possibilities they provide and I am happy to say Jock isnt just going to be known for his art, but also for his writing.

Gone #2 is accessible for those interested in the story and portions out the drama and action masterfully. Its certainly a series to follow.

As a Green Lantern story, there is a good combination of drama and action although the writing could have benefited from less is more in the dialogue department. Still, its an enjoyable read and sets up an interesting arc going forward.

This issue incorporated horror into a story that has felt suspenseful and is evident on the purpose of laying a foundation of whats to come. As new characters are introduced, the plot is given a moment to expand on the moving pieces and the conflict to come bring it all together. As an entry point, it would benefit readers to go back and explore issues 1-5, however, it is a story worth exploring.

Grim #8 keeps up the momentum and fans of the series will be thrilled about the plot developments. This series has been consistent in its quality and the focus on world building is a nice addition. If youre new to the series, I highly recommend picking up volume which covers issues 1-5, and look for the back issues to get caught up. Now is a good time to jump in as I have a feeling this story can stay fresh for a while.

It's great to see this series return. Its themes, layers, and introspective narrative continues to impress. While it's not the rock and roll pacing of previous issues, there is still a lot to appreciate from the creative team.

The story and art design are nothing short of spectacular, rewarding readers with multiple read-throughs. Writer Stephanie Phillips has crafted an issue that is sharp, poignant, and a masterclass in both story and character design. This series continue to be one of the most refreshing comic books on shelves.

Gunslinger Spawn continues to be a guilty pleasure series that isn't afraid of being bombastic or letting bullets fly. While the plot is not  complicated, it remains exciting.

From the bright colors to the entertaining story, this issue was a fun read. It may take a little bit for someone new to get into it, but its worth checking out. I look forward to see what Howard and Boo have planned for this series going forward.

This is a great time to jump onto the Harley Quinn series as there is a nice mix of new story arcs and reference to previous issues. If 33 is any indication of how this latest arc will kick off, there is definitely going to be an exciting experience Harley in a detective role.

Despite being a little dialogue heavy, this issue was enjoyable and had moments of comedic levity and pensiveness. While the exposition heavy moments could be cut down a bit, it doesnt take away from the overall experience.

Overall, this issue is not the strongest in the series so far, but it still had moments that made for an entertaining read.

The entire creative team have put together something special in Helen of Wyndhorn from the cover to the last panel. There is richness in the characters and in the art and combined with the themes of mystery and fantasy, its a journey that will likely take readers for a compelling experience.

From start to finish, the entire creative team is clearly on top of their game. Every letter and artistic detail is the epitome of intentional storytelling and the themes, symbolism, and world building continue to be top notch.

After reading this first issue, it's clear why this series is titled after a greeting. You can try to be brave reading this issue, but with the range of creators, stories and themes, fear will inevitably find you. Hello, Darkness is a tour de force that culminates the best in horror storytelling and is not to be missed.

Hexagon Bridge #1 is completely worth checking out and its evident this is going to be a special miniseries from Image Comics. This may be Blakes first comic series, but I suspect it certainly isnt his last.

If you havent given this story a shot, take a leap and give into Hexagon Bridge. Its a story that has already cemented a high standard of what makes a good comichell, a good story.

Hexagon Bridge has been a phenomenal story and with only two issues left, I cant wait to see where this story goes and where it ends.

Followers of this series will be left eager to know what will happen nextespecially given the ending. For those who havent given this series an opportunity, with only one issue left, its a great time to catch up and see why this series is great.

For those interested in this series, all issues from this arc are now on stands with a trade paperback due later this year. This series is certainly worth seeking out to see why it is one of the most imaginative titles in comic book stores.

If you have been following the Hitomi story this entry will likely feel like set pieces are beginning to fall into place for the future warrior.

Fans of the House of Slaughter will enjoy this issue. Readers get more depth into Jace Bouchers background, and Jolie has managed to have me worried yet excited how Jaces roots may not be familiar.

House of Slaughter #13 is a great continuation in the latest arc and this issue felt stronger than the last. It may not be the best entry point for new fans, however, I highly recommend checking out the full series. The amount of intrigue and world building is great and manages to be thrilling in each issue.

This issue doesnt have any action but the conflict more than makes up for this. The creepy vibe of the issue and terrifying ending is well done.

Overall, this issue was a strong close for the arc and where the story goes next will surely be exciting. This series has had the task to build out a world beyond the main comic, however, I hope the story going forward gives Jace a more concrete end rather than spending too much time expanding the world. As a character, Jace is a great addition to the series, however, too much exploration with him as a vehicle may make him feel inconsequential over time.

Bait is a character that has had a background presence and giving him a story of his own is a bold move that I hope sticks the landing. Fans of the series will have no problem picking up this issue and consuming more of the exciting lore of SIKTC. For those who are new to the story, it might not be the most reader friendly, but is still worth exploring after catching up.

If ever there was a time to jump ontoHouse of Slaughter and the rest of the Slaughterverse, this is it!

From betrayal to violent set pieces, there is a lot packed into this issue making this an instant pick up for fans of the series.

This issue is thrilling and reminds fans why the Slaughterverse is one of the coolest (and deadliest) universes around. Don't get caught without this issue, there's hunters out there.

Comic readers looking for an explosive sci-fi story are in for a treat with this issue. The entire creative team has put together a raw story but one that isnt shy from showing the violence that press often covers.

This series premiere is a satisfying slow burn that rewards readers as they explore alongside the ensemble of characters. Watch your stepyou never know what you might wake up.

There are decent elements that fans of thrillers are likely to appreciate, however, should the story continue, the script could be a little tighter.

Issue #1 is a strong kick off to establish the characters and overall plot of what to expect but I wish there was more action in this issue. Fans of the different properties will still be excited for the glimpse of monsters but will definitely be left ready for more.

This issue is a mixed bag and this is largely in part from the writing. Which is a shame because a story having monsters shouldnt mean suddenly the writing needs to take a dip.

Theres still a chance that the story could stick the landing so I wont rule out this series, however, this might be a monster sized feat to perform with the current state of things.

With impressive character and creature designs, Katabasis is an octane-filled story that can easily be described as metal.

In the crowded genre of superhero stories, Kerpow! cleverly carves its own exciting space by focusing on the everyday people who live in a world of vigilantes and violence.

Kill All Immortals #1 is an excellent blood-soaked family drama. The clangs from axes are sure to leave ears ringing as readers cheer and gasp at the violence throughout.

Kill Train is every bit exhilarating as it is deadly. With its relatable cast and horrifying concept, prepare to feel the anxiety of being trapped in a steel cage as blood splashes everywhere.

DC Comics fans who have wanted a General Zod specific story will appreciate the direction and tone of this story. Its done well enough to respect the lore of the character while also staying intriguing enough for new readers to see why many fear General Zod.

With only the second issue now available, it is highly recommended to dive into this series. After all, you dont want to make Zod angry.

As an addition to the Knight Terrors event, this didnt feel like it added much, however, Black Adam fans might enjoy the character having more of a presence in the DC Comic Universe. It remains to be seen if the story ends up better in the second half than the first half.

Fans of Black Adam will appreciate this follow up to the first issue. The insight, and satisfying conclusion to this one-shot enhances the first issue and manages to have some character insight while focusing on its role as being a tie in to a major event.

Readers of Detective Comics will appreciate a story focused on Jim Gordon that brings all the anxiety and horror of being one of the few good cops in Gotham and the impacts of Batman. Knight Terrors Detective Comics #1 is worth checking out, but reader beware, it is not for the faint of heart.

Fans of the Knight Terrors event will find this issue to fall in line with the dark and horrific themes. While this issue was more depressing than other Knight Terror tie-ins, it was also fitting as it serves as a strong character study of the Gordon family.

Don't expect action or intensity in this first issue. In fact, part of the charm is the lightness of the experience despite having deep themes. Unique and refreshing, Lawful isn't just an interesting story with remarkable art; it sparks conversations about underlying moral complexities and layers in its world and design.

Little Black Book has consistently been thrilling and keeps readers hooked from start to finish. It's one of the coolest comics on stands and is sure to provide a proper fix for crime fans everywhere.

Living Hell is a charming blend of fantasy, family drama, and heroes from hell. This issue establishes an interesting world full of potential.

There's so much to appreciate in this series premiere as the story, world, and main character are captivating and will leave readers smiling and full of joy. This first issue will likely hook readers with its charm and dramatic and mysterious cliffhanger as Love Me: A Romance Story is not just about great storytelling, but one of the most unique experiences on stands.

You'll laugh and cheer as the robot romantic takes on an entire restaurant staff in a barrage of bullets and knives in an effort to save his newfound love. This entry is full of charm and spectacle, making it fun from start to finish.

Like a heavy weight champion entering the ring, Luchaverse - Catalyst #1 steps into the comic book world for a series debut that is an epic mash-up of fantasy, action, and luchador lore.

As a new series, this issue will leave readers grinning as the band of furry heroes traverse into an unknown planet. Its charming, exciting, and issue #2 cant get here fast enough.

This issue is an excellent read; the art is quirky with lots of colors to impress readers, and the four legged leads make this an endearing tale.

Like a well-shuffled deck of cards, Minor Arcana is full of little surprises and potential for the unexpected. It's intriguing, imaginative, and whimsically dark.

Minor Arcana continues to be an enchanting and spellbinding story full of heart and mystery, and Issue #2 is sure to captivate readers.

If you havent checked our issue 1 be sure to do so. Barnes and the creative team are putting a science fiction tale together that is truly refreshing!

This series is setting up to be a science fiction epic with lots of modern elements and commentaryand if the premiere issue is any indicator of what to expect, it's certainly an issue to pick up at your LCS.

Be sure to check out the preview pages below and follow Comic Watch for more future reviews on this blockbuster series!

Issue #2 is the most fun I have had reading a comic in a while. This is not a slight against other stories out there, but a testament to Mosely carving out a place of its own. So put on your favorite loud music and pick up this issuethere's tech gods to take on.

Fans of this series will be happy with how the 5-issue arc ends and I hope the story continues past what has been released.

The retro/modern art mixed with clever color palettes create a dynamic visually experience. While there is a solid foundation, the lack of connection to characters from the readers hold this story back. Hopefully future issues will find their footing as Thomas and Matthew's make a solid storytelling team.

Demented, twisted, and a bloody fun ride, Murder Kingdom is as colorful as it is dangerous. With unexpected moments and work-based humor, this issue is entertaining from start to finish.

While it is certainly possible that subsequent issues will fare better, this entry ultimately falls short. Without a clear focus, its likely readers may not find any interest in this series.

As a premiere issue, there is a lot to get readers new and old excited for this series. There is plenty of world building to build a new foundation for this Night Thrasher series. One challenge that readers may face is the references to previous series. However, its easy to piece together whats going on making for a great read.

As a premiere issue there is a lot of opportunity for this story to grow and expand. I very much enjoyed getting to experience this mashup of themes and storytelling and recommend this issue to anyone who wants to read an exciting comic that is different from a lot of other stories on shelves. You wont regret sinking your teeth into it, thats for sure.

For those who havent checked out this series, its a great indie title and Im glad to see the second issue entertaining. Fans of the first issue will appreciate how characters are having their backstories fleshed out and Vinces cute little friend.

As a new entry to the series, this issue is fresh and another fun adventure for Nightwing. Fans of the series will be glad to see a change in story to keep the overall pacing fresh. For me personally, pirates can be a fun spin to a character and having a pirate themed side quest for Nightwing is such a cool idea. Be sure to pick up this issueespecially since it releases on the fitting, Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Overall, fans will still enjoy this issue of Nightwing. While it is not the strongest issue, its still worth picking up and its place in the overarching story still makes this a must read for Nightwing fans. I just hope the next issue picks up in pacing as fans are definitely ready to get this ship moving.

Nightwing fans are likely to feel the pirate arc is overstaying its welcomewhich is a bummer because theres so much that could be done. Hopefully next issue picks up better.

Fans of the series will be happy to see how the arc ends while also relieved to see Nightwing primed for his next journey. While I wish previous issues could have had this quality, Im glad to see it all come together.

A little more exposition could have helped the overall experience, but readers will still be able to enjoy the issue. Dont expect anything mind blowing though as this series is beginning to need work in its tone.

Fans of Nightwing will be relieved to have an entry that has balance in tone and action, all while maintaining Nightwings positive traits. There is a lot to celebrate about this issue and hopefully this trend will continue onward.

After action pieces, arguments, and more violence, the issue ends with some progress on the journey to saving Peacemakers beloved puppy. Currently there are only 6 issues solicited, but Starks and the team have made for such an enjoyable journey that I hope it constitutes well past that. For now, I will just have to be excited about issue 5 and be okay with that. For Peace.

There are a lot of comic books on the shelves, but Peacemaker Tries Hard! is for sure one of the few series where I have to pick up and read it on day one. Its fun, awesome, and seriously funny. Issue 5 does a fantastic job at keeping up the standard and for those of you following this series, you wont regret picking this up!

I completely loved this series and highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested.

Comic readers wanting a mystery story dont need to look further as Pine & Merrimac will be sure to pique curiosity. While it isnt a perfect first issue, I still found myself wanting to know more about Jamesport and the mysteries it keeps.

For those who havent checked out this series, now is a good time to check it out and dive head first into a mystery that has been incredibly interesting. Not only has Starks created two memorable characters, but the hints of a larger conspiracy have made this a must read series.

This series has not only created two charming characters in Linnea and Parker, but it also provides a much needed fix for fans of thrillers and mysteries. Issue #3 fleshes out the characters while still giving readers a tense third act.

This series debut is a mind-bending read full of shock and awe from start to finish. It's sharply written and illustrated, and like an unsuspecting knife, it cuts open a deadly world of noir bent on turning reality on its head.

Fans of Lunas and Woods previous works will be happy to see this issue on shelves and its worth checking out for anyone with a fantasy itch.

If you havent jumped into the series yet but want to see what the buzz is all about, dont miss out on this issue. Its a new arc, exciting, and highlights how the world of Radiants is one of the best worlds being built.

First issues don't get much better than Red Before Black #1 as the story and stylish art make for an experience that immediately hooks readers. This may be a premiere issue, but Red Before Black is shaping up to be one of the slickest crime stories of the year. Val and Leo aren't just fun to read about, but it's clear they mean business and will take readers on an action-packed ride as they delve deeper into Miami's criminal underbelly.

Prepare for an unpredictable and exhilarating issue that will have readers counting the days to Issue #3 as Val and Leo aren't just two of the coolest and deadliest characters on comic book stands; but their chemistry is infectious.

Roots of Madness #1 wonderfully blends culture and fantasy for a captivating and emotional read. Its connection to the lost art of remedies from generations past reminds readers of the deeper meanings of the knowledge we share and the beauty in how they keep us connected.

This series premiere is a slow burn that lures readers into its deadly web. Combined with a unique setting, this story is nothing short of thrilling.

For fans who were following this creative team, they will likely find more of what they enjoyed beforehand. Anyone jumping into this series might be a bit lost, but its easy to fill in the gaps and enjoy the gags.

This futuristic tale combines genres and a world that is dystopian and raw. While there is enough to give reason to explore future issues, there is not enough of a hook just yet as the exposition tends to bloat much of the storytelling.

Issue 27 of Something is Killing the Children is focused on pausing the action and focusing purely on the drama and tension building. It adds to the histories of the characters and expands on the lore of this universe. Readers will definitely feel like this issue was worth their time and I am excited to see how it all comes together.

This issue continues the story and adds very little. Fans of this series are likely going to get frustrated as waiting a month for small movement feels like this story might read better in trade.

Issue #30 has me excited for the next five issues. There was a period of time where I felt the pacing was becoming sluggish and almost everything was going wrong for the characters to a point where it felt hopeless. This issue put everyone right back where they needed to be making for an exciting read and getting the series back in the direction it needed to go in.

This issue brings the series to a strong return. Where the pressure was constantly building, issue thirty-one is coming to a full boil and ready to explode. Fans of the series need to buckle up because the clash of Erica, Ms. Cutter, and the duplicitype look to set a high standard for the series.

Fans of this series might be surprised at the lack of action but will appreciate the character work in this issue. With only a few issues left in the Tribulation story arc, the third act has certainly been the strongest so far.

The overall plot is still decent, however, the Tribulation moments that should be building excitement made this issue a chore to read. While this is not inherently a bad issue, given the patience readers have had with this arc are likely going to be stretched thin as almost little to nothing major happens.

This issue is so fast-paced and because of the quiet moments with beautifully renditioned panels, I highly recommend taking time to appreciate this issue. Fans of the series will be happy to have this issue in their hands.

As a chapter in the New Mexico arc, it accomplishes what it needs even if the pacing has been all over the place. I still believe this series is strong and look forward to whats to come, but I am cautious and hope future arcs manage the pacing better.

SIKTC has consistently set a high standard with its narrative and issue #36 is not to be missed. Not only does this chapter provide an excellent story for new and old fans alike, but it is a reminder why Something is Killing the Children is one of the best titles on stands and continues to impress.

This issue cements Erica Slaughter as one of the most badass characters in comic books and leaves you breathless with the sound of chainsaws ringing in your ears.

Though this issue may contrast heavily from the issue prior, new and old fans are likely to appreciate the overall experience. Like the eye of a hurricane, this issue offers reprieve for the lone monster hunter amid the violence and action that constantly encircles her. This personal vignette is not to be missed as it is an enjoyable read that gives levity to the latest arc of Erica's early days.

Something is Killing the Children continues to prove that it's not just one of the best action/horror comics on the standsit's one of the best comics, period.

Something is Killing the Children continues to prove that it's not just one of the best action/horror comics on the standsit's one of the best comics, period.

Cloonan and Lotay are clearly a powerhouse team and compliment each other well. The two creators have put together a comic book full of drama and layers for a story that challenges what is typically on comic stands.

For newcomers to DSTLRY comics, this title offers a memorable entry point, contributing to the publisher's impressive library. While it may not deliver conventional haunts and terrors, 'Spectregraph #1' is a story worth experiencing, and will leave readers eager for what lies ahead.

Fans of the series will be happy to see the explosive return and pleased with the art, particularly the space travel and the battles.

I definitely recommend picking this issue up if youre even remotely interested. From word to art, its worth checking out and certainly a worthy story of the character.

As a mystery comic series that is (currently) slated to be five issues long, the timing could not be more perfect as summer winds down and the Halloween season begins to get closer. There is enough tension and unknown that is on par with an episode of the Twilight Zone making for an exciting series to follow.

Issue #7 has a lot of moving pieces, but they feel connected and make for an accessible read. Fans of the series will be happy to see how the story of Bibi is progressing and new readers are given an exciting hero to root for.
