Review: Doctor Who: The Seventh Doctor #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

This felt like the complete opposite of a first issue, not even the previously on helped. A first issue should have all the information at hand or at least guide a reader into knowing where to read the story that came first. At the end of this comic, it had a handy-dandy guide for Doctor Who comics for the 9th-12th Doctor and a few other Doctors… Not the Seventh. There is no need to have seen the Seventh Doctor’s television run but be advised that reading what is before in the comics is what is needed. Find a guide online and read what is before. If you are prepared to go in for the Doctor be warned, this story has maybe 15 panels of the Doctor in each of the two stories in this comic, combined, with over 50 pages overall for this comic. This is not about the Seventh Doctor but his world, which is poorly executed on both stories.

Review: The Unexpected #1

By Dustin Cabeal

The only good thing that’s come from Dark Night Metal is that there’s a slew of new characters flooding the DC Universe. There’s not much of a chance that all of these new characters will stick around, but I like when DC attempts character creations like this because we might see them later down the road, re-invented and more interesting. After the big “you better own that character” boom of the mid-2000’s creators seemed to stop creating new characters for the big two which left this void of potentially dumb, but awesome characters.

Review: Prism Stalker #4

By Cat Wyatt

Prism Stalker #4 is here, and Vep is continuing on her journey and training to try and fit into the new world she’s been brought to. In the last issue, a new sort of battle practice was thrown at her, and things did not go well. We already know that there’s no room in this academy for slackers, so Vep must succeed if she wants to continue to live here.

Review: Shade the Changing Woman #4

By Kelly Gaines

The Cray are coming. We know how Paul Revere would have handled the situation, but Shade is having a much more difficult time sounding the alarm for Earth’s approaching doom. Readers have become well acquainted with the more risque and criminal parts of Loma/ Meghan/ Shade’s past and Shade the Changing Woman #4 visits a new memory. Though Shade has tried hard to forget this piece of her past, the memory holds a long lost fear that may be Earth’s only hope.

Review: Giant Days #39

By Cat Wyatt

Every issue of Giant Days brings us farther and farther along in Suzie, Esther, and Daisy’s lives. In the last issue, we saw all three girls moving on and getting their own places to live – separate from each other. So it’s only natural that Giant Days #39 has them taking the next logical big leap – it’s time for a job fair.

Review: Outpost Zero #1

By Sam King

Outpost Zero is a new science fiction comic published by Image Comics. The first issue is highly intriguing, and it raises a lot of questions. So far, it seems like it has a lot of growing potential and a varied cast to keep things interesting. This is one I will definitely be keeping an eye open for in the future.

Review: The Curse of Brimstone #3

By Garrett Hanneken

Action-packed comics can be a fun thing. They remind us why superhero stories are told through comics. We are able to read the dialogue between the hero and the villain while watch them fight it out through the panels. The latest issue of The Curse of Brimstone delivers on the action, but it doesn’t quite deliver on the fun.

Review: Justice League #1

By Kelly Gaines

It’s hard to explain how excited I am to see my favorite version of the Justice League launching in a new comic. The animated Justice League of the early 2000’s is the show responsible for sealing my interest in superheroes and giving me the push I needed to venture into the intimidating world of reading comics. In short- I’m in love with this team. It’s probably going to take me a few rereads to clear the tears out of my eyes and get harshly critical, but for now, I’m excited and throwing blind faith into these characters- more so than the creative team. And let’s be fair, they’ve got an all-star lineup, but in comics that doesn’t mean it’ll be any good.

Review: The Man of Steel #2

By Garrett Hanneken

By the second or third issue of a comic, fans should get a feel as to whether they want to continue buying the series. This is even truer when it comes to a mini-series since fans will decide fast if they want to drop the comic because if it doesn’t grab their attention quickly, then there is little hope that it will later. So, is The Man of Steel #2 worth reading?

Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #83

By Damien Becton

The previous issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles excelled in the comedy department, featuring a hilarious fight between the Turtles and group of frogs. Although it was a good issue, one of the things that it lacked was a bit of action to replace some of the filler scenes. TMNT #83 is the exact opposite - heavy on the action and lacking some of the comedy beats that made the previous issue so worthwhile. With that being said, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #83 is another solid entry into the TMNT universe.
