I’m really impressed with Barnes’s writing. He is getting deep in to the character of Solo. The art by Rosanas is really impressive as well. He really nails Solo’s expressions and gestures. He also makes some interesting choices with shadows. I’m really enjoying this series.

Zub’s narration throughout this issue is wonderfully poetic. It reads like an epic tale passed down through the ages. Horley’s art is beautiful. Each page is its own individual oil painting. Every page is gorgeous and filled with movement and clear visual storytelling. This issue is insanely good.

Snyder starts the issue with Clark, Lois, Diana, and Bruce playing a board game. Fernandez lays out four pages to look like a game board later on. It’s genius storytelling. Xermanico does an interlude in the middle of the issue and it all looks fantastic. This issue is a lot of fun.

Mora’s Optimus Prime is incredible. His shading is very unique. It looks like he skipped it in inking, opting to leave some pencil marks. It really adds some interesting texture. Kirkman’s pacing and story structure in this issue are perfect. I think this series will continue to be special.

Here we have a female character who is mistreated by everyone. It just seems mean spirited. The story gives her no room for character development. That said, the art by Andy B. is incredible. It’s cartoony and brutal. His page layouts are fun and inventive. The art makes me glad I own this.

Tonally, this comic lands somewhere between the original Troma movie, and the Saturday morning cartoon. Moench does a good job keeping that balance. Ramos and Mayerik’s art is really good. Toxie’s transformation scene is wild in the best way. This comic is definitely weird, but a lot of fun.

The world Peach has built is full of broken, interesting characters. It feels so rich and real. Every character is searching for a place to belong. Her art is astounding. Every panel is interesting. The colors are beautiful and vibrant. There hasn’t been a single issue where the quality has dropped.

Segura is balancing the multiple stories very well. He does a good job getting us inside the character’s heads. While Noto’s art is mostly strong, this issue has some sequences that feel more like a serious of illustrations, as opposed to an organic, flowing story. I’m still enjoying the series.

The opening few pages with Sabretooth talking to Wolverine are written excellently by Condon. Lins’s art is much more cartoony than Cappuccio’s. It’s got an over exaggerated roundness to it that feels a little bit like 90s art. I’ve been enjoying this series no matter which artist is drawing it.

Hartnell really nails the vibes and tone of the movies with his dialogue and Ash’s narration. Bradshaw’s art is super fun. The violence and gore are way over the top, but done in a very cartoony way. There’s also an incredible amount of detail on these pages. This comic is a lot of fun.

Wolfman is a fantastic writer who is able to craft a story in any genre. Colan’s art is masterful. His page layouts are unique and interesting. His shading and the way he depicts wind, clouds, and Dracula’s mist help set the mood perfectly. I recommend grabbing back issues or trades of this series.
