Gizmo's Profile

The artworks starts out kind of janky (see Rocksteady's arm on page 1) but finds its groove after Rocksteady is knocked out and begins emitting a distress signal... That makes me about as confused as Donnie is with his emotional motivations, except his confusion is compelling. The art in story find its groove and shines in the character-driven moments between Harold and Donnie.

Olympian is a cool mutation we haven't seen before. I don't care for the ending, the Earth Protection Force just seems to give up after Olympian fails. Be sure to flip past the ads at the end for the epilogue.

We give the new character intros a rest, finally. I enjoyed their hijinx over the intercom.

Savanti appears in this issue to add extra-dimensional hkjinx to the mix and give Bebop a cool robot x-ray arm.

Things get real cartoony. At one moment, Mondo rips off his clothes for reasons unknown... We saw his camouflage functioning last issue just fine without calling attention to undressing, so I guess he was indeed naked in those panels... but he doesn't even camouflage in this issue after getting naked, it serves no purpose other than a hilariously creepy, clunky comic book moment.

The artwork is getting a bit simpler than the first issue. It's fun to see Bebop and Rocksteady suck at regular jobs and be unable to defend themselves for once, but I'm not a big fan of having a new foil introduced in each issue.

I'm kind of impressed with how much Ben Bates can get on a page and still make it read clearly. I hope this isn't the last we'll see of Wingnut and Screwloose.

What a lovely send off to this spinoff series. I'm not sure if the art is true watercolor, but it has that feel and it's perfect for the Astral Plane.

I can't help myself, I have to point out that it's not capers and calamari on the pizza at the end, as Mikey says, it's clearly pepperoni. Never lie to me about food!

Maybe this is better if you already know who Agatha Harkness is, I did not enjoy the stretched out banter and light show personally. At least the dynamic between Wanda and Chthon is kind of interesting.

The layout and art are quite nice. I absolutely love Wanda's new design, both in her uniform and in her civvies. Repurposing the Cloak of Levitation as a skirt is inspired. I can't say the same for the plot. Unless you enjoy magical conference meetings with obscure support characters?

Dave Wachter does good battle scenes. April says she likes to get out in front of things, so I'm going to trust that she has a reason behind her actions so far.

Turning the Foot headquarters into a daycare is pretty funny. I like the expressions of Leatherhead but he's pretty smart, I feel like he'd pick up on an illusion pretty quick.

After a long hiatus, I'm jumping back into the series mid-story arc, but I'm not feeling lost. The recap and two pages of expositional dialogue between April and Stockman helped me get my bearings. The issue works pretty well on its own and as an intro to Manmoth. My time away from the series has given me a new appreciation for how naturally the action scene flows here.

I get the desire to get Mikey and Mondo together, but Donnie would have made a lot more sense as the tech savvy friend for Mondo to take on this mission

A moment of PTSD from Prince Robot has me concerned about his son's safety, but not in a villainous way. Marko and Alana find a new interest to share, which builds the you up a bit just to get your heart shattered to pieces all over again.

If you want to make the person sitting next to you on the train really uncomfortable, read Saga in public, if not maybe wait till you get home. Thankfully i've learned that lesson many times over.

Fifty issues in "Saga" continues to be excellent. Remarkably consistent, even after 6 years, issue #50 shows why Vaughan and Staples never slip--the issue is filled with character moments, is funny, is beautiful looking. Not a lot happens in terms of propelling the grand plot--but somehow, issues that would seem like filler on other books are "only" 8.5s for "Saga."

I'm jumping back in after a hiatus and am immediately rewarded in the opening pages with a wholesome, NSFW moment of intimacy. Kids... don't read this... but if you do, at least you'll be exposed to a vision of a healthy sexual relationship.

No effort is made to turn the issue into a special tent pole moment in the series, and I don't mind that at all.

Story was fun but I did not like the art (especially for Mondo).

this was an alright issue.
Michelangelo is only a supporting character. (no surprise there)
i'm really happy this series will be ending soon.

the art is a bit of a mix for me.
while i love the way Pablo Tunica draws hands and the figures
some of the faces he draws are very ugly.

there were some nice moments in this comic
overall it just wasn't a very this was an alright issue.
