Honestly...there wasnt that much that was truly original about the original cartoon. It was a simple extrapolation of sci-fi adventur4e fiction that had been circulating around various mediums including radio, pulp fiction and TV for decades by the time Johnny made his first appearance. The deification of syndication have found a place for Johnny deep in the heart of Boomers and Xers that work their magic on the page in a way that feels just as engaging for those of us who WERENT interested in the original animation.

Extra-strong art and a story filled with suspense and character teases makes for a really good second issue. Read Full Review

Piriz does a wonderful job of capturing the darker, more serious tone of the story with the art. There are wonderful visual details throughout that I loved.   Read Full Review

So far this is shaping up to be a book that longtime fans will enjoy but which newcomers can also embrace. Read Full Review

I'm still baffled by old Jonny wearing the same clothes as young Jonny and why they went to see old Haji reamins a mystery. He didn't even act like Haji. He wasn't a character that held a grudge. I don't remember much about Zim from the cartoon, but I wish Casey would tell us his motivation as it just seems out of place. The spider robots could have zapped Jonny at any time and they didn't and Zim isn't even smart enough to shield them from an EMP burst. There's a lot I like about this book, but boy, does it have a lot of holes. My Comic Review Channel - https://youtu.be/x6KrheTHy6g
