As a seasoned comic book enthusiast and collector with over two decades under my belt, I must say that ‘Patra #3’ left me feeling a bit perplexed. It seems like the creative team is still finding their footing, as there appears to be an abundance of dialogue that slows down the pace of the story. However, the chase sequence and the potential for a fascinating plot are intriguing enough to keep me invested, much like how I’ve stuck with my favorite baseball team despite their occasional lackluster seasons.

DC
Title Comic Book Review: Action Comics #1073
Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween #2
In a timely release for Halloween, DC Comics presents the unexpected team-up I never knew I desired in the special one-shot Poison Ivy/Swamp Thing: Feral Trees #1. As implied by the title, this issue unites Poison Ivy and Swamp Thing in a chilling and introspective journey that sheds light on their roles in preserving nature and how the Parliament of Trees factors into their mission. The story also explores their perspective towards outsiders. The narrative in Poison Ivy/Swamp Thing: Feral Trees #1 keeps you gripped by the overarching mystery and emotionally engaged with the characters, making it an adventure you’ll not want to miss out on. – Matthew Aguilar (Read the full review here)

The Phases of Moon Knight #3
Battle Between Predator and Black Panther #3
Title Review: Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku – Insurgency Rising #3
In this article, Evan Valentine reviews “The Amazing Spider-Man #60” written by Zeb Wells. This controversial comic series took some unexpected turns in its storyline, introducing characters like “Paul” and giving Mary Jane superpowers, enhancing Tombstone’s role, creating the most wicked Ben Reilly yet, and sending Spidey to the underworld. Despite the criticisms of the run, Wells manages to honor Peter Parker effectively in the final issue and concludes many storylines he started throughout his tenure. – Evan Valentine (You can read the full review here)
Review of Ultimate X-Men #8
Wolverine’s Revenge #3 Review
Image Comics
In Feral #7, a heart-pounding element has been introduced to intensify the suspense, represented by three irresistibly cute kittens. As the ice melts in Feral #7, fresh perils emerge, and observing Elsie and Gigi maneuver these unpredictable dangers is both nerve-wracking and captivating. The story’s twists and turns have me momentarily forgetting to breathe, thanks to Tony Fleecs, Trish Forstner, Tone Rodriguez, and Brad Simpson. However, even this didn’t prepare me for the shocking cliffhanger that wrapped up the issue. Feral remains a compelling read every month, and now I find myself eagerly anticipating Feral #8.
Title Introduction: It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour #1
Kaya finishes her adventure on the Dragon Road in an impressive manner. The comic opens with a foreboding dream for Kaya, but once she wakes up, it’s full speed ahead as she, Jin, and their enigmatic ally Razel race to evade Atrian chasers. As usual, Wes Craig delivers with unique character designs and inventive panel arrangements, but Tom Nopalitano’s lettering shines in this issue for effectively conveying tone, timbre, and meaning through emphasis, shape, and color. This comic’s plot is somewhat thin and light on character development, as Kaya and Jin remain divided over trusting Razel without much change. However, it more than makes up for it with suspense and excitement, skillfully building tension towards a predicament where Kaya and her companions find themselves caught between a robot army and a haunted city. Following the heavier narrative of the previous arc, “Kaya and the Dragon Road” offers a refreshing change in tone, becoming more action-packed and intense, making for an engaging installment in this thrilling journey.
In the second installment of Violent Flowers, the narrative primarily focuses on setting up events as Carnelia pursues Erzsebet at an unusual, otherworldly gathering that takes an unexpected turn. This unique twist on vampire tales has a touch of sensuality, but it falls short due to a lack of substantial action and some predictable dialogue during the climax. The ending leaves us hanging with anticipation for what’s next, but overall, it’s a somewhat uneven read. I rate it 3 out of 5 stars. – Nicole Drum

In Anansi Boys #5, the humor escalates as Spider steps into Fat Charlie’s shoes at work for a date and lunch with Rosie. Simultaneously, Charlie finds himself in an unexpected situation, waking up to find an unknown woman in his bed and his potential mother-in-law knocking on his door. The perplexity and frustration felt by Charlie is contrasted with Spider’s effortless charisma as he takes over for his brother, both helping and causing trouble. There seems to be a minor plot inconsistency when it comes to Rosie’s mother’s sudden appearance at Charlie’s home if she believed he would be at work; maybe she intended to slip the wedding paperwork under his door but still chose to knock for some reason – yet, this is a slight oversight in an otherwise engaging issue filled with subtle artistic touches. Overall, it’s an appealing issue that lives up to its charm.
Exploring immortal characters can sometimes be tricky, but Kill All Immortals #4 manages to create a fascinating perspective that keeps readers engaged. The combination of a complex father-daughter rivalry and ethical dilemmas with an intricate crime narrative is truly captivating. The characters are well-developed and effortlessly blend into the evolving storyline. – Charlie Ridgely
In a surprising twist, Mark Millar’s unique narrative style seems rejuvenated in Night Club 2 #3. Instead of venturing into the world of superheroes, he presents a chilling horror comic interpretation. The story doesn’t rely on frequent shock elements, providing a consistent flow instead.
As a gamer delving into the world of ‘Patra #3’, I find myself torn between anticipation and frustration. The blend of crime and horror elements in this comic is intriguing, especially with Patra’s pursuit of the deranged killer, Jeremy Jones. However, the narrative seems to slow down significantly due to extended character development, particularly the dialogues between Patra and her sister. At this point in the series, I was hoping for more action and less conversation that feels somewhat prolonged.
As an ardent Power Rangers fan, I’m thrilled to embark on an extraordinary journey with the creators who breathed life into my beloved characters on-screen, in the comic book series titled “Power Rangers Across The Morphin Grid #1.” This one-shot special, penned by franchise veterans like David Yost, Nakia Burrise, Steve Cardenas, Walter Jones, and Meghan Camarena, offers a unique opportunity to delve into their characters’ stories from the creators themselves.
Red Sonja #15 Review
In Sonic The Hedgehog #74, I found myself on the edge of my seat as the racing arc reached its thrilling conclusion! This issue doesn’t shy away from showing that even regular folks can make a difference, which adds a heartwarming touch to the story. Whether you find it idealistic or naive to believe that a villain’s actions will have consequences depends on your own level of cynicism.
