Mar 12, 2018The bottom line is Spider King stands to keep me entertained for some time to come, but this #1 issue does drag a bit. I'm uncertain if future releases will pick up the pace or if each installment will be a slow build toward a greater conflict. But, I just love barbarians fighting space monsters and I can't knock it too much for being an entertaining first look at this new world. Read Full Review

Mar 06, 2018This story has real promise. But it appears to be better read as a whole and not spread out over the course of several months. Also, the art and colors make for a harder to enjoy reading experience. I want to read more. But I think I will wait for the trade. Read Full Review

Mar 07, 2018The book, whilst not for me,certainly has some quirks that I would like to see further developed. If a mix-match of genres featuring swearing Disney like characters are your cup of tea, then this book is right up your alley. Read Full Review

Mar 07, 2018The dialogue gets a little stale, and the characters feel lifeless, but it's a decent first issue mostly thanks to the art. Read Full Review
