All the components for a good comic are here--a good writer with a handle on the characters, a solid art team that particularly works well together. Why, then, does Angel #5 feel (pardon the pun) lifeless?

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #42 // Review
The Omega Rangers go undercover in this thrilling issue of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
Once And Future #2
Myths awaken.
Something is Killing the Children #1 // Review
Something is Killing the Children is bleak, horrific, and immediately compelling.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8 // Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8 is a promising, if slight, beginning for the first Buffy/Angel crossover.
Go Go Power Rangers # 22 // Review
Celebrate the 26th Anniversary of the Power Rangers’ franchise, with YDRC’s review of Go Go Power Rangers #22.
Angel #4 // Review
Angel #4 is competently made, but feels slight and perfunctory.
Once And Future #1
Arthurian myth clashes with the modern day!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #7 // Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #7 from Boom! Studios takes a break from the ensemble-based format of the first six issues to focus entirely on Willow.
Angel #3 // Review
There’s solid work in Angel #3, but it’s a shame the book is hamstrung by the constraints of a reboot that mostly serves the needs of another book.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #41 // Review
It’s the debut of the Omega Rangers in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #41!
Go Go Power Rangers #21 // Review
The Power Rangers deal with love and loss in issue #21 of Go Go Power Rangers!
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #6 // Review
This is another solid issue of raising stakes and adding complications in a compelling new direction for the Buffy franchise; it’ll be interesting to see how it all pays off, if at all.
Angel #2 // Review
The creative team is doing compelling work in Angel #2, but something is still missing.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #40 // Review
New beginnings and new threats in the first chapter of this exciting arc of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!
Firefly #7 // Review
Firefly #7 is a solid, if unremarkable, entry in Boom! Studios’ management of the license, and dividing the characters up continues to be a good way to overcome the larger weaknesses of the series as a whole.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #5 // Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #5 can’t decide who its audience is, and this issue suffers for it.
Angel #1 // Review
If this were the first issue of some brand new property, this would be a competent enough first issue, but as the first issue of a new Angel series, it’s lacking.
Firefly #6 // Review
Boom! Studios’ take on Firefly has been hit or miss, but issue #6 is definitely a solid step forward for the series.
Welcome to the Whedonverse Free Comic Book Day // Review
Boom! Studios’ FCBD sampler “Welcome to the Whedonverse” is a great jumping on point for and a very accurate representation of Boom!’s Firefly and Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics.
