Spawn #228

When dealing with a longstanding franchise it can be difficult to find new or creative ways to make a world and its storied characters fresh enough to keep a dedicated audience entertained.  If the latest slew of issues are any indication than the people behind this current barrage of Spawn are more than up to that task.

Transformers: Regeneration One #88

Regeneration One is back with perhaps its biggest issue since the battle between Optimus and Megatron. Here's what's happening currently...Scorponok has unlocked a gene making Autobots go berserk  Grimlock has made a deal with him, but deals with villains never go well, do they? That's the main thing, but there are a few other plots going on at the same time. A minor complaint I've had in the past is that a plot will start but disappear for a few issues, that's nonexistent here. Somehow this issue balances pretty much everything Regeneration One is all about.

The End Times Of Bram And Ben #2

So far I have to say this mini-series has been one of the most enjoyable rides I've taken in 2013.  From start to finish each issue is imbued with a plucky spirit that simply ebbs and flows through its murky and potentially depressing waters.  The thing that sets this tale apart even as it faces the apocalypse now is its very clear purpose set forth by the creative team.  And to their credit the people behind this succeed in making their select audience laugh more often than not.

Morning Glories #24

Morning Glories #24 is without another strong release in a sterling series. It would be easy to complain and say that not enough was answered in this specific piece but the revelation on the final page successfully peaked my interest.  In short, if you've been following this tale this latest bit of the growing puzzle is absolutely for you. Highly Recommended.
