Rainbow Brite #3

Rainbow Brite continues to be a delightful adventure that feeds the nostalgia which is so popular right now. Reboots are all the rage and similar to She-Ra, Rainbow Brite keeps true to the source material but successfully updates it for the modern reader, young and old. I highly recommend this book to fans of the originalseries but also anyone who enjoys She-Ra, Hilda, or similar stories that focus on the whimsy of childhood and colorful adventures.

I Review Comics

Rainbow Brite #3 gives us our first legit fight sequence for the series as our heroes do battle with Murky & Lurky. The issue has a nice blend of humor, action, and suspense.  Wisp isn't a perfect protagonist and it's clear that she's finding her footing in this series. I appreciate that Jeremy Whitley has created a hero with real insecurities. In too many cases in modern comics, the character is presented as the best and brightest in the room and the only qualifier is that they are the lead character.  The only mark that I have to the series is that I believe that the comic would really benefit from having a traditional artist pencil the series or go into full-on nostalgia and use the art style from the 80's. The covers are beauti ful but when you open the book the styles dramatically to a Steven Universe - She-Ra aesthetic. None of the art is bad but it's kind of a let down that the art direction doesn't push imagination and grandeur that a setting like this one is capable of.  Valentina Pinto shines as usual here especially in the scenes where Wisp powers up into Rainbow Brite. The contrast between the color palette used for Rainbow Brite and the rest of the world is stark and really sells that the colors have been drained from this world.  I did enjoy the book and I like where the story is going. Wisp and Twink have amazing chemistry and its very easy to relate to our lead character as she finds her place in this world. This bodes well as the series goes forward.  For More reviews: Subscribe: https://www.gtmediareviews.com/ more
