DC Comics News - Konrad Secord-Reitz
May 23, 2018Motherlands #5 is a fantastic issue. It shows a conclusion to the previous four issues, while opening the possibility for the antagonist and protagonist to work together in the future. We also get a great curveball by the end to keep us ready for the next issue! Read Full Review

May 24, 2018Motherlands is a sci-fi, spacey thriller featuring contract killers and killer technology conglomerates whose tangled webs of corruption and evildoing only really matter, because family matters. Or, more specifically, the relationships between family (and lovers) matter most in this issue and likely in the series itself. Read Full Review

Comic Bastards - Cat Wyatt
May 23, 2018The artwork has been pretty consistent through all of the series, and in an odd way really matches the emotions being shown. The artwork is raw and not afraid of showing us the hard truth, or in this case graphic details. There are no punches pulled, which is both good and bad. Many readers probably would have been happy to see a little less of Bubba, if you know what I mean, but that's the way it is. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Josh Vermillion
May 23, 2018I haven't been a fan of this series since the beginning, and this issue continues that trend. While I used to enjoy the art enough, it seems to have taken a turn for the worse lately. Along with that, I'm just bored with it. I can't get behind any of the characters or their motivations, and the story surrounding it all feels forced to create a never-ending family conflict. I'm hoping for a strong ending, but I'm not confident that's going to happen. Read Full Review
