Briton's Profile

Mercifully this is generally free of the identity politics currently bedevilling the comics world.

Good Lord. I came across this by complete accident, and I'm glad I did. The art is weird but beautiful, every panel a minor masterpiece. The story is unusual and the characters are all interesting. They're not the usual heroes, heroines, and villains normally found in comics, but a fascinating collection of eccentics. I hope it's not too long until the next in the series.

As with Sabrina, the delays had made me determined to drop this title. I cannot. It's just too good. Here we have Reggie, selfish and nasty, being given true character. It's possible to feel sorry for him right up to the very end of the issue. Brilliant stuff. If only it was published more frequently.

I'll go so far as to say this is the best artwork I've ever seen. Added to Abnett's writing, this issue is a masterpiece.

This is shaping up to be an all time classic series. I have nothing negative to say except that we need to know more about Madame Dragonfly - I'm sure we'll find out more about her over the next few issues.

Comics don't get much better than this.

A triumph. More please.

A near perfect issue.

This has been a great series, and it's a shame it has ended. I had hoped we'd have more tales of Emmy and the haints.

This series has been my favourite for the last couple of years, and I will really miss it when it's complete. If the creators are watching, can we have another series with the 2 sisters in the future please?

Not sure I understood what was actually going on in the latter part of this series, but it was magnificent. I hope we see more of the two central characters one day.

Probably the best Silver Surfer run ever. Sorry to see it go.

I love this series, and this issue is an absolute and colourful delight.

What a fantastic comic.

I am really enjoying the writing of this series. The artwork is pretty good too.

After a rather poor start to Rebirth, this title is now firing on all cylinders. The momentum of the book is well served by the bi-weekly schedule.

This series is firing on all cylinders. But can we have more Murk please?

This is back to its best after the disappointing last arc. Plenty of Atlantis and its supporting characters.

Excellent stuff. I hope Murk redeems himself soon.

It's all coming to the boil now.

Great stuff. I would love to see more issues about Steeljack.

After the wretched last issue, I was please to see a simple yet deep story. No fighting, no caped heroes, just ordinary people trying to get their lives back on track after tragedy.

If only all Marvel comics were like this. Fun. Non political. Optimistic.

Great stuff, it is rare to find writing and art both firing on all cylinders at the same time. The current 'event' has failed to derail the fun, unlike in many other titles. The only flaw was the rather rushed 'temptation of Felicia'. This could have been extended and perhaps could be a future storyline.

Probably the best annual of the year. Even with 8 months to go!

Excellent characters and vitally, well written.

I really like the characters and the effort being put into their back stories. This has all the makings of a great series, and I hope there is a good long series planned.

Another superb issue. Every single character leaps off the page. Poor Colonel Weird gets his sad story told in this issue.

Superb storytelling and character work.

There is a lot of fascinating plot bubbling away without it feeling over complex, while the art is superb. I am really enjoying Black Magick.

Why can't all comics be as good as this.

This looks like it's going to be a good series. (I am a bit behind)

Brilliant.

It's bonkers. I loved it.

Bonkers but brilliant.

If only Empowered was monthly. It's that good.

This is brilliant stuff.

Pa had better survive this storyline!

Bring back Pa!

It feels as though this series is approaching it's end. I hope not.

I wasn't expecting much after several poor Hellcat series in tghe past, but this was surprisingly good. I hope this gets a decent run, but I fear it won't. The artwork could do with an upgrade.

It's good. Buy it.

I thought something terrible would happen at the end, but I suppose it was Christmas after all. This is one of the best series running at the moment.

Really enjoying this run, and let's face it. Patsy Walker is a much more interesting character than Tony Stark.

Great stuff. As an original Johnny Red reader in 'Battle', this revival feels right. It takes a while to set up the story, but even this is well done and intersting. We don't see much of Johhny in this this first issue, but the raw energy of the action is still there.

The tremendous return of Johnny Red continues. An rip roaring adventure with vivid art. If you're not reading this comic, you should really give it a go. A nice touch is the backup interview with the 1970's Battle editor.

Probably the best comic being published at present.

A great series.

Great stuff, please Archie... keep the creative team of Charm and North together.

That was the best Lady M series for ages.

One thing stands between this series and greatness. It lacks a letters page. How about it, eh?

Magnificent stuff.

I don't know why this had to start again with a #1, but this is the best horror comic out there at the moment.

A very unusual and stylish comic. And the art was great.

Very entertaining.

Brilliant.

Probably the best issue yet. Plenty of characterisation and world building in Xebel. I just hope we don't end with the obligatory massive punch-up next issue.

I loved it. Bonkers artwork and an original storyline.

A superb story with hints of far more to come, and magnificent artwork. This comic was not that hard to 'get into'. I hope it proves popular for these points rather than because of the fashionable "diversity" of its cast and creators.

This really looks as though it is going to be a classic. The story is compelling and the artwork is magnificent. As long as the creators can steer clear of the overt politically correct zealotry favoured by some of the reviewers, I will stay on board.

Absolutely magnificent.

It's not exactly a light read, but it is very impressive on every front.

Really excellent.

Great stuff and very enjoyable, not matter what the "professional" reviewers say.

A really enjoyable series.

A satisfactory end to this classic run. With Marvel running empty on creativity, we are unlikely to see its like again. This was the last marvel title on my pull list, and had managed to stay fairly clear of the liberal preaching. I am unlikely to buy a Marvel title regularly until they change their ways.

I have no idea what was going on as I'd not ready previous chapters, but I greatly enjoyed it.

Magnificent.

Probably the best issue yet.

I just wish they could get this out more regularly.

The plot thickens.

This is not my kind of comic at all. But somehow, I love it.

Great stuff. It's the first comic i turn to in my pile. I hope issue 6 doesn't take too long.

I've missed this title, and am glad to see it's mysterious attraction to me remains intact.

Great issue.

Blows the authors other work "House of Slaughter" right out the water.

With the contempt shown by Archie to their readers though massive delays between issues, I was ready to give up. However the comic is just too good to drop. It is genuinely creepy and I really hope Archie can get their act together and maintain some sort of a regular schedule.

My instinct is to drop this title because of the erratic schedule. I can't. It's too good.

Really excellent.

Mercifully free of the culture wars, wokery and diversity frenzy, which makes many other comics unreadable. This feels like a comic from saner and happier days.

Noooohh... not Rosita... one of the best characters left undeveloped and unfulfilled.

Blimey. I wasn't expecting that ending.

A second superb issue. I hope they can keep up these standards.

What a great series. The only bad thing was that it has ended! More please Dynamite.

I am really enjoying this series. Good old fashioned adventure.

This has been an entertaining comic all through its recent run. I fear though that the next issue will be predictable, and send things back to the status quo. Please prove me wrong!

An entertaining series comes to an end, and it didn't end quite as predictably as I had feared. We are also reminded that free speech belongs to everyone; everyone should be heard, however unpalatable their message may be. The far left political establishment that rules our entertainment industry should keep this in mind.

I wish comics were still like this. Fun.

Consistently excellent.

Hope we don't see the Aquamarines again, but a good solid book.

This continues to be a great series, but not enough Mera and Murk!

Another consistently good comic, with plenty of subplots bubbling away in the background. I particularly liked the fleshing out of minor characters in this issue.

The art was great and the story is building well. I'm not sure we need to ape the X-Men with a load of mutants though.

Great art, a compelling plot and plenty of characterisation. What more could you want?

Great stuff, especially with Vulko and the lonely ghost.

A great slow burn story with an interesting cast. The art is good too.

Consistently excellent.

Great story and artwork.

Perhaps the Rath arc has been overlong, but the series so far has been classic Aquaman. Abnett has done a marvellous job with the characters

Great stuff. After the frenetic action of the last issue, this is a welcome break. We see Atlantis and many plot threads are revealed, ready to be knitted into future issues. I really hope Abnett stays with Aquaman for a good long run.

This is really great stuff. I really like the cast of characters being assembled in Atlantis. I just hope that the Mera story doesn't reduce her appearances in the comic.

Another great issue. Not enough Mera, but Murk gets a few cracking comments in. If only Aquaman would listen to him...

Well now. I had been about to give up on Archie when my subscription expired, but this is much much better. The new artist is great, and I hope he has a good run. The story is also much improved. I am back on board.

This is really good. I love the Cheryl character, and I really hope the new artist sticks around. Please Archie, make it so.

After a couple of rather sub-standard issues, we're back on track here.

Great fun.

They don't make 'em like that anymore. Oh wait... they do.

So Marvel can still produce old fashioned fun comics... more please.

Great stuff.

Entertaining. More Queen Cat please.

The best of Marvel's ongoing series.

This looks like it will be a good character driven story.

As good as ever, though I do not see why they had to start at #1 again.

I want to go back to the farm.

A cracking issue.

An excellent start to this historical horror story.

More please.

This was better than I thought it would be and the artwork was spot on. Please DC, let this be the last rebirth/relaunch. If titles don't tell, get a better writer or artist. Don't keep rewriting characters history - just stick with it and please can an ongoing series be that. And don't get me going on the diversity fad. Just publish good stories and people will buy comics. By the way, nice to see Aquyaman and Mera are to be married. Isn't this the third time?

A little forward momentum is lost with this issue, but the characters are building well.

Before I read this series, I never realised how useful Egrets could be.

Welcome back.

It looks as though this could be a great series.

I'll be sorry to see the last of this series.

I didn't really understand the ending, but this was a great series. Farewell to Gideon Falls.

This is a really enjoyable series, with a number of plot developments on the go.

Consistently excellent.

After the rather disappointing last few issues, this title gets back to basics and is much the better for it.

Brilliant stuff. My only criticism is that the story seemed slightly rushed.

Definitely back to its solid best. And Pa's return to the cast is very welcome.

This series is firing on all cylinders again.

A welcome return for this title. Despite Bernice's silly 'We can do it" headband.

Very good.

Excellent.

Clever and unusual.

Sheer entertainment. Walker's art is growing on me too.

Great stuff. I hope Marvel keep MacKay on Black Cat. Maybe a new series once Iron Cat finishes?

I fear cosmic Iron Man will not last long unforuunately. Great artwork, and lots of Hellcat. It's a shame she wasn't like this in her infantile solo series.

I'm rather enjoying this run, and it would be good if Hellcat would stick around long term.

A very strong issue. There were some really interesting interviews with past editors to top it off.

A good issue, the highlight being the superb 'Lawless' musical. Make sure you download the tracks and play them while reading! It really is a triumph.

This is the best series in the new 'Archie-verse'. The writing is excellent and the current artwork really works. I hope the artist sticks around.

This issue positions Mera as possibly the most powerful heroine in the DC universe. I wonder if she'll actually stick around in the JLA.

Great art and an intriguing plot. I know nothing about this character, but I'll give it a go.

Lady M is consistently excellent.

A strong start to this horror title send in 1220 AD. How often would you get to day that? Plently of good characters, and intesting historical backfrop, and evil alien bugs.

A good but sad end to this excellent series.

Really well written, and the pace is just right.

The plot slowly thickens. It doesn't feel rushed - and that is a good thing.

This is turning into an excellent series.

An excellent and funny first issue.

I hope this is as good as the late lamented 'Harrow County'. The early signs are good.

Much better than the disappointing last issue. We have some much needed characterisation.

This is good. We journey to Xebel and see some of Mera's past, including her granny.Some much needed backstory on Xebel, and some nice characterisation.

Month in month out, this is probably one of the best comics out there.

Great stuff.

Very enjoyable.

This series is excellent so far.

This series is much better than i expected it to be. The first isue was disappointing but it's getting better and better.

My first issue of this comic since #105. Enjoyed it, and will keep reading.

There is good world and character building going on here. It feels as though it's not to be rushed and this could end up a classic series.

Great stuff. Funny and entertaining. I hope the creative team stay on this title for a very long run.

We all need more fun,colourful comics - like this - in our lives. It's the best Surfer series in decades.

Very entertaining.

Another great issue. What isn't so great is the quarterly schedule. It's hard to keep up with a series where the issues are 3+ months apart.

Good to see Ghostgirl again.

I like this. It's unusual, and I want to see where it's going.

Maybe sales of a monthly comic would have held up had the creators shown more professionalism and avoided the long hiatus.

Completely different from the sort of comic I usually like.

Very promising.

I've enjoyed this series, and I hope this isn't the end of it.

Really pleased to see this series is continuing.

Good to see a comic that does not rush blindly from one action sequence to the next.

This may be yet another female monster hunter series, but it is well done.

What a great series this was. Funny, sweet, relaxed. It's a real shame to see it go, and no doubt the character development will all be wasted when Rebirth starts. We need more comics like starfire.

At last a decent issue, with the lead character absent. We have plot, dialogue & humour and, for once, there is no massive battle. If only we could go on like this.

A good, fun comic.

Very entertaining. We need more of Spellarella.

Blimey. I wasn't expecting another issue this year. The main story pauses for breath and we get a stand alone issue devoted to the witches familiars. All very impressive, and even the great Rudyard Kipling makes a brief appearance.

Another fine issue of the series but a year after the last issue. It is time to replace Sacasa - who seems to have plenty of time for the wretched 'Riverdale' series.

Great stuff. More please.

Rather good.

A very good start.

This looks like it's going to be a great series. The only thing I didn't like was the now standard "strong female character" who - bizarrely - cross-dresses. There is no way that she would have behaved like this in the 1580's. She would have conformed or have been burnt as a witch. She is also not that likeable - reacting very strangely to tragic news! However, I will stick with this title because of the magnificent artwork.

A great issue, but another character with potential is thrown away.

Hurrah! Negan is still looking for redemption and hasn't followed the expected route to power! Month after month this comic provides good solid fare.

I've said it before and I expect I'll say it again. This is a well plotted and consistently good comic. It ought to show the comics industry that constantly re-starting at issue 1 is unnecessary.

I have to say that I did see this coming. The title didn't seem to have anywhere else to go without repeating itself. This was a decent ending to a great series.

I wonder if my fellow reviewer, Mr Mouser, has actually read these issues? The Germans are portrayed as evil maniacs and never in a good light. Nevertheless I was actually worried about the German battleship going up against the American version. He was just too good to be true and we ended the fight with typically over the top bloodshed.

Things are buidling to a climax. I'll really miss this series.

This continues to be a great series. Action, adventure, romance, evil, humour. What more could you want from a comic? I urge people to read one issue - the chances are you'd be hooked.

Another strong issue. I am beginning to wish that the plot would speed up a bit though, it is a very slow burn. I would also like to see more of Ellen. It seems like she and the Spirit have had little time together, which is odd considering their long separation.

Although I really don't like the issues jumping back and forth between the past and the present day, I cannot deny that the art is magnificent and the writing is good. This is a really good issue.

Great artwork.

A thoroughly enjoyable issue.

Another enjoyable issue. I hope it continues.

Old school entertainment. The sort you thought Marvel would no longer do. Mind you, I'm sure they'll soon ruin it.

Very enjoyable. If only Marvel could produce more comics like this one.

I am really sick of all these crossovers, but this is a decent issue and the artwork is good too.

This is becoming an interesting title, and Mera really "kicks ass" as the Yanks would say. I do think the US government would not have reacted in such a clumsy and over the top way, but there you go.

Another very entertaining issue. I am looking forward to what Arthur will will say to Mera when they get home after her prison break!

A good start, and I was pleased to see Mera's ill-advised "Aquawoman" name and costume have been ditched. I just hope the series doesn't go banging on about the conflict between Atlantis and the surface too much. The artwork was great.

Consistently good.

This continues to be an interesting series, but I wish they could get an artist and keep him for morte than a half dozen issues.

I'm new to all things Archie. This is a welcome change for me after giving up on Marvel and DC and it's what a comic should be - fun.

Interesting. I knew nothing of this title, but it looks good enough to stick around for.

An entertaining issue.

Very entertaining.

A good series.

Great art and a fun story. Not sure about having a dog as the narrator though.

An entertaining romp.

Entertaining stuff.

This series is growing on me.

Much better than the last issue.

This series continues to be very entertaining.

Sorry to see this title is ending. I do think the storyline should have wrapped up in a #11. This is completely unprofessional by Marvel. Utterly cynical.

A good series. It's a shame it couldn't have been wrapped up as part of the main run. But Marvel has to continue its cynical policy of publishing #1's.

Despite the strange artwork which makes it hard to tell what is going on, I still quite enjoy this series.

Good but not outstanding. After the long delay in issues, I have to question if Rucka is committed to this title.

Good stuff. Shame is only a mini series.

Unusual. It's worth a look.

Very entertaining

It's strange, but I like it so far.

I picked this one at random, thought it looked good and bought it. I'd never heard of the title before. It's a good fun tale, nothing deep and "relevant". The art was good too. I'll probably buy the next new issues based on it - as long as DC don't cancel it of course.

A good start.

A bit unusual, but I liked it and will give this series a go.

Strangely compelling.

Ludicrous. But quite entertaining.

It would have been better had the marriage happened. But the status quo must prevail.

An unusual start to the new series, but it was fairly entertaining.
