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!
Robotech Volume 1 // Review
While no one asked for a new adaptation, the resulting work is pretty good.
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.
The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck Volume 1 // Review
The finest Scrooge McDuck story receives its’ finest collection yet.
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.
Firefly #5 // Review
Boom! Studios is known for its compelling, risky takes with licensed properties like Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Unfortunately, the Boom! magic doesn’t extend to Firefly, and that’s a gorram shame.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #4 // Review
Boom! Studios’ reboot of Buffy has been solid from its start, but it’s this issue that really shows why relaunching the franchise opens up new possibilities in a way that continuing it couldn’t.
Firefly #4 // Review
After a few issues of retreading old ground, the fourth issue of Firefly finally brings some surprises.
