Jumping onto this, I'm pleased with the art by legendary 'Ironman' (due to his longevity in the industry) John Romita Jr is serviceable yet exceptional when delivering scenes in the apologetic era.

Fans of Marvel's What if? comics from the 1970s-1980s would truly appreciate this pretty horror piece here. The gold standard of shock horror, thanks Archie Comics.

Think of it like this" The Power Rangers has a much darker tone, the characters are heavily flawed. The MMPR is for those who need something lighter and fun. Therefore, you get 2 great stories to enjoy. Most of all, what I did enjoy was this is NOT an origin story.

Now, the Sheriff has only one idea in mind and that is to fight back. Meanwhile, there is a new hunter in town and he sure-as-heck aint friendly and has cruel intentions.This is another action packed issue, this book is loaded with action from the opening pages will get readers hooked and again Imber's art is gorgeous. The exciting part was the flashback scenes of Wilson's life when sheriffs had a role in society, which was a mystery that weren't touched upon in the first 2 issues. These flashback scenes were well placed and not overkill nor contradicting the storyline which was pleasing. The dialogue with the characters in this book (especially between the Sheriff and the native chief) were well though out and interesting, the movement of the new villain has built a noticeable gateway for an expanded universe to make me want to read more.


View Issue Full Review

I get where this is going and being the story that involving police and action, I wished the art would propelthe action scenes a lot more and give the story more grit visually. Just like Medic, I can see something coming further more and hope to see the next chapter.


View Issue Full Review

I cannot judge this book alone, there are 9 other books in this Double Take line up. I do feel the story is being stretched a little too much yet with the conclusion of Medic # 5 I did feel something special that I hope will shift into the next issue.

The second was the back up story, I was super excited to read a Bill Sienkiewicz illustrated TMNT book and when I read it, there's only 6 pages. Although it wasn't a bad little read I was expecting more from the back up story.For TMNT fans, prepare yourselves for a fun ride whilst the little ones read TMNT Adventures. WARNING: Do not mistakenly switch books!

I'd be interested to see what happens next, it has potential of telling a great story. Fans of sci-fi would really dig this book!

I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more, fans of TV's Elementary and Sherlock will enjoy this also. Do ya'self a favor and check it out!


View Issue Full Review

Overall, the first issue provides no punches in terms of action. It is filled with dialogue to introduce each character, tothose who watched the TV like I did. Keep an open mind as it is new and different in appearances " this is not a kids book and it is stimulating for adults. For those too young, this is like Supernatural and the X-Files where the heroes will set out to solve mysteries.


View Issue Full Review

This book takes the roots of how TMNT books looked under Archie Comic's publication in the late 1980s and the mid 90s. It is filled with safe humor that is suitable for children and yes it is harmless; there is stimulation as it is too simple for adults to enjoy. Including immature jokes and the obvious conclusion" It may have worked better in the TV series.


View Issue Full Review

If you having caught the genius of Baltazar and Franco, frankly you're missing out. A great book for young and old for humor both generations will understand and appreciate.


View Issue Full Review

For fans of Sherlock Holmes and other crime noir stories based in the Victoria-era will feel satisfied with this book. It offers smart dialogue due to its pacing and moments of total violence and horror aided by the art. Do ya'self a favor and check it out!


View Issue Full Review

I have become fond of anthology series and enjoy flicking from one story to another through a handful of pages, some tones vary from non-stop action with Judge Dredd, to horror/suspense to a mild humour to violence. Definitely not for children, 2000AD has stood its ground as a world leader in being unapologetic in its approach to the comic medium. However the tone or mood of Survival Geeks (has the Goonies vibe) especially with the comical animation art-style, for me this is a major shift of the mode and there are some laughable moments. Then we jump back into the gritty tones. Brilliant story-telling and art throughout this book.

This is a first issue in an ongoing series and I'd look forward to the next issue. If you like something different with plenty of violence and gore, do ya'self a favor and check it out.

If you'd like to read something different, stimulating and less serious, it's definately worth a look. Do ya'self a favor and check it out!

This book is child friendly, yet there is enough action in this book for adults to be adjusted to also. There is a lot of humor (which made me laugh) in this book, yet it is not as silly as one would expect being an all ages book - credit to the writers. There is a level of innocence within this book, with familiar characters from the DCU which would make some alternative reading especially if you are fans of Teen Titan fan or Young Justice minus the violence. Also you don't have to worry about your kids reading this book!

The story overall is well thought of and well structured.The costume design is awesome. I enjoyed the fact that you as reader get a taste of our hero's history and his purpose, you hear the voices from the general public, as well as the villains and the police department in the middle of a vigilante and gangland war. The issue I have is the delivery of the story telling " the voice bubbles are misplaced during conversation which is confusing. Some of the dialogue does not seem real especially the scene where the three teenagers encounter a gangsters. The art quality ranges from very good to ordinary within a few panels, it lacked consistency.

The highlight of this book is the topic which can be relatable especially to those who have been diagnosed or have had a family member or friend diagnosed with cancer. This story is honest to the emotions of the sufferer and those surrounding them.It's a great contrast to a character who is redeemed as invincible.

The pacing in this book is a bit slow due to the excessive wording, and less action. However being the first issue, there is a focus on introducing the characters.


View Issue Full Review

This book is ridiculous!! It is very well written, Read does a great job of introducing two very odd characters and their violent ambitions. There's a fine line of loving the characters as well as despising them at the same time. In addition the brief origin tales within the book helps expand the backstory, the are lots of unique looking monsters as well as some that look a bit like Universal Monsters which is very cool. Noble's art helps display these super cool monsters, especially the splash pages are gorgeous, it's highly detailed and consistent throughout.

This is my first All New Archie tale of Jughead and I'm impressed, it still has the layout and humour of what I'd expect from an Archie comic. Just looks different and still has the familiar cast such as Mrs Grundy, Reggie, Moose, Dilton, Betty and Veronica which is pretty cool. The imaginary adventure which spans to a different direction and pace was well planned and was a lot of fun.

Martino does a decent job with the pacing of the story, especially switching between story around the villainous professor, then the commoner Mark Williams and the heroic Titan. This allows each of the characters and their stories to expand throughout future issue, which means we need to read on. Ciccitti's artwork is consistent and looks like he could illustrate any mainstream book.

The story's pacing is interesting, starts slow with the dialogue between Gordon's Batman and Grayson looking for the pieces and lured to prison and then.. Boom! Action with the battle between Red Robin and the Red Hood. I love action especially with swords and guns, this book does not disappoint. The scenes look like something either from a movie or animated series which was pretty cool!

The appearance of the new X-Men roster is unique for a mainstream American comic, also their names aren't too appealing.

The story has a Breaking Bad feel to it! No character is perfect and is flawed. Pires' pacing with moving back and forth and breaks the scenes with chapters (like a book) make it easy to follow for new readers and it still makes sense. Diotto's simplistic and rough art adds grit to the story.
