Review: Dark Apprentice

Dark Apprentice by Kevin J. Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is definitely better than its predecessor. It starts off really slow, gets pretty good, and then the second half is ripe with drama, character building, and intrigue. I'm bad at doing these without any spoilers, but it's among the more interesting conflicts I've experienced in Star Wars. Even if the antagonist seemed at first to have been a bit rushed, he's been built up pretty well now.

Review: Jedi Search

Jedi Search by Kevin J. Anderson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

More like 3.5. It was definitely enjoyable, just nothing special. A few good character moments and many of the concepts such as the state of a remote Empire fleet with no clue they lost and finding latent force-users across the galaxy (which reminded me of season 3 of Korra) kept my interest high, established great possibilities for the other 2 books and beyond, and overall bumped it up from being just pretty good

Review: Spawn Origins, Volume 3

Spawn Origins, Volume 3 by Todd McFarlane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Some of the best stories of Spawn so far are gathered here. Amazing characterization, Capullo's amazing art, Milelr actually writing something interesting, a lot of depth added to the world and lore, and some of the best character designs, especially for minor characters, I;ve ever seen. Some issues are above average as opposed to amazing, which brings it down a bit, but the highs are something spectacular.

Review: Uncanny X-men: Muir Island Saga

Uncanny X-men: Muir Island Saga by Chris Claremont
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The art is superb, the ideas are great, and some of the action is awesome. It's actually jumbled, does a lot of telling and not showing to rush to a conclusion, and a lot of the potential mental tensions between x-people isn't tackled in the slightest.

Essential Amazing Spider-Man, Vol. 10 by J.M. DeMatteis
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Meh. That's honestly the best descriptor I have. Just, meh. So many one-shot villains, such dull characters and dialogue, even sub-standard art for the most part.

Review: ワンピース [Wan Pīsu] 79

ワンピース [Wan Pīsu] 79 by Eiichiro Oda
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was getting so sick of the lack of progress being made with Dressrosa in the anime, and to be fair, I can't comment on the manga side, that I said "f*ck it" and finally started reading the manga, which some day in thefuture I plan on slowly reading through from the beginning. Anyway, I read a few chapters, and BAM! It's finally done with. Doffy is an excellent villain, but nothing could go as long as his story did without me getting sick of it. The art is pretty good with a few stunning panels, the was so many characters from the entire arc got together was well done and fun to see, and it was nice to see people actually praising the Straw Hats. Also, the big introduction in the last chapter is pretty amusing while also setting up a very intimidating antagonist. My biggest issues are that I thought Gear 4 looked stupid, though was otherwise interesting, the 1 minute thing felt way too much like a standard Shounen trope, and the way Oda does the speech bubbles makes it really difficult to tell who's talking quite frequently.

Review: Green Lantern: Rebirth

Green Lantern: Rebirth by Geoff Johns
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was never a fan of the late 90's-mid 2000's super dark art of the time at DC. Otherwise this was an awesome part. I always found the Spectre and Parallax things to be convoluted, but those gripes aside, there was great coloring where that was present, awesome character moments, and a solid story. Easy enough to pick up as your first GL book, but dipped in enough lore for long=time fans, and got me hyped for the rest of the run.
