But Why Tho? - Collier "CJ" Jennings
May 26, 2021Reptil #1 puts the dinosaur-powered hero back into the spotlight, with an all-Latinx creative team highlighting his heritage. I'm glad that Reptil has made a return after all these years, and with the mystery of his missing parents on the horizon, his absence from heroism looks to be a short-lived one. Read Full Review

Have to say, Reptil #1 defies my expectations. I was expecting this to build off of Reptil's appearance in King In Black, but admittedly that was kind of dumb. Instead, we go back to a teenager questioning his worth while reconnecting with his family. Seeing Hispanic cultures in this manner like it's normal just feels so right. Because how it relates back to family looks like it's going to be big with this issue's developments.

Reptil catches us up on his latest developments: He's settling in with family in LA and is ready to leave super-heroing behind him. But of course, the villain that comes hunting him in the back half is having none of that! This book is evenly balanced between family drama in the front and wham-bam fighting in the back, polished off with a nice set of twists that encourage me to keep reading. While the dialogue in the first half can get a little dense and expository, I appreciate the level of depth and nuance all that information brings out of the character relationships. I love the art throughout. I also like the subtle shift in tone that comes over both words and writing when the action starts; everything gets faster and more dynamic. A gr more

I love how real these characters are. Me and my cousins are kinda like that. The art gives a manga and not a comic vibe, it's not bad, it's just not that fitting.
