Overall this is another strong issue. I love how this expands out the mythology and detail, pushing things in a new direction. Not to mention there’s the usual great art designs and action scenes. I am intrigued as to where the Armorclads will go next and what lies in the future for the new and improved Ironclads.
This week Angela and Zach are back to discuss a Zach book as they are teaming up (again) to discuss A Thing Called Truth by Iolanda Zanfardino and Elisa Romboli from Shadowline & Image Comics!
“I didn’t think it was going to happen after the last arc, but Crossover #13 has brought back my enthusiasm for the series and I’m genuinely excited to see what will come next.”
“This was another great look into the world of Time Before Time.”
“I am delighted to say this is an excellent return to form for Archer & Armstrong. This was a really good first issue with writing that got the characters and wrote them well, with art that worked for the characters and effective and fun lettering. I enjoyed everything about this issue and it was great to see the boys back on form.”
“While there’s still a lot we don’t know about the world of Blood Stained Teeth I feel like we’re given a strong introduction in this first issue and I’m looking forward to seeing where the series will lead.”
“I did really enjoy this issue. I thought the art was clever and the style really helped get across the trauma of poor Peter being shot in the head. The different elements were all really strongly done. As before my main complaint is I feel we could have more. It’s at least set things up ready for the finale, where I suspect we’ll get something of a major showdown. A solid issue that I think anyone who has read Harbinger up to this point will appreciate.”
“This is a really strong start to the second arc. Now the setup has been established it feels like more fun can be had in the universe and this certainly takes some classic concepts like Sasquatch and runs with it. It’s still got a fresh feel but it also has the benefit of strongly established characters and a distinct voice and tone which really works. I’m very much onboard for the next part of the Hellcop ride.”
“This issue had everything I love about Shadow Service, emotion, plot twists, demons, humour and some drama. Honestly this is an excellent return for Shadow Service after its break. I very much enjoyed it and am looking forward to seeing how that cliff hanger at the end turns out. Plus it had a Randall and Hopkirk reference so that alone makes it A+ for me.”
Writer: Tres DeanArtist: Sebastián PírizColourist: Dee CunniffeLetterers: Jim CampbellPublisher: Vault We Ride Titans #2 ended with the appearance of a mysterious mech in New Hyperion. This issue we get some of that sweet giant mech battling action you’ve probably been waiting for. Although plenty of the pages within this issue are dedicated to big action sequences the family dynamic is […]
“The art is exciting, the plot building and the writing are solid. The pacing is excellent. This is a book I think I will very much enjoy going forward. Armorclads is a book that is showing off some excellent potential.”
“This was just a perfect finale to what has been an excellent book. I cannot recommend The Good Asian highly enough. It’s an intriguing crime drama, it’s got great characters, wonderful art in both composition and colour, solid lettering. It has a message and tells a history that’s important. It juggles some really strong themes with twists and turns in the narrative.”
“I was very satisfied with the way things went and this was a very fitting end to what has been a pretty solid narrative with the Deadside War.”
“I didn’t expect to love this book like I did. Yes, it is a Lego kid’s book, but I had a great time reading it. The world of Ninjago had a lot to offer me the adult reader but I am sure kids will love it just as much.”
“If you like Stillwater this little anthology will whet your appetite. This issue expands Stillwater out, gives life to more hidden corners. It’s a satisfying little detour and I enjoyed it.”
“So yes this is surprisingly solid issue. Yes, there’s a different setting here and this is a case unlike anything Newburn has done before but that’s good. We get a real insight into Newburn as a person through the writing and art.”
