Victor Benito Comic Reviews

A perfect jumping on point for new readers with fun twists for older fans.

Archie #704 had a good roadmap it needed to follow and does just that. I only wish it would've had room to take in the sights.

Assassin Nation #3 is a great midpoint for this zany series that screams to be read

Astro Hustle is an energetic and adventurous romp set that emulates the best of underground 80's comics and movies.

Astro Hustle #2 continues the high energy and exuberant world-building of last issue, proving that Jai Nitz, Tom Reilly, and Ursula Decay are truly a powerhouse team.

A solid conclusion to The Final Joke arc with fantastic moments for the art team to shine.

A stellar setup for a series; expecting great things from this book.

Bitter Root is picking up the pace and building a masterpiece as it goes. Pick up this issue and the last two!

Bitter Root #5 is a stunning conclusion to Book One of what promises to be a significant and memorable series.

An interesting twist on the Blossom twins that pushes their charm with high-and-mighty characterization into seductive darkness. Definitely worth checking out.

An improvement from the first issue that makes strides in the story. It's looking like there's an emotional payoff coming later in the arc.

Crowded is an exercise in storytelling about modern technology that is sure to intrigue and excite readers. This issue is easily one of the best.

Overall, this book is one to keep your eye on. I'll be following this series to watch how it unfolds. Enjoying the art and story, I'm pretty sure this will be one of my favorite stories by the series' end.

The story feels rushed and the series could have benefited from one more issue to fill out its conclusion. Not a bad ending, but definitely a meh one.

Firefly carries the show's spark and gives its lore room to breathe. Worth checking out for fans of the show or the Western genre.

Definitely a good issue but the overall narrative is a trade-wait scenario

The Flash #67 amps up the creepiness, setting up a fun revival arc for the Trickster.

Giant-Man #2 is an okay read, but it feels repetitive and there's nothing fantastic to balance it out.

A fun conclusion to the Odd Job arc that adds wonderfully inventive twists to the James Bond formula.

The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #1 is a perfect introduction issue that reminds readers Ms. Marvel is where to go for that classic Marvel Comics feel.

The X-Treme 90s is dead and we should let it rest. Major X #2 shows us why

Ronin Island #2 is a quick read with a lot to enjoy and is perfect for younger readers.

Runaways #20 takes a breath mid-arc to play with characters' anxieties and fears. It's a great issue with hearty character moments.

Hixson delivers fabulous art. Sebela shows great character work and a decent emotional climax.

Smooth Criminals #6 delivers on the series' promise for the first half while setting up the second half.

Dark Visions #1 is an intriguing look at the surprising legacy left by one of the galaxy's most intimidating villains.

A quick read with enjoyable art. I'd say wait for the trade.

The Life and Death of Toyo Harada is a fantastic villain character study with interesting story techniques

Journey Into Mystery #2 is kooky fun that delivers laughs and gasps like all comics should.

A fun start to a promising and magical coming-of-age story.
