THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Brain Boy #1

"Van Lente turns in a solid effort, it’s really the art team that’s firing on all cylinders. If they keep this up, Brain Boy could very well be a hit." - Newsarama

"Unabashedly recommended. This revived Silver Age character is nothing but solid gold." - Culture Mass

"A fun read with a dynamic, surprise ending that puts Price in a bad spot and gives readers something to look forward to, "Brain Boy" #1 is another solid, unexpected offering from Dark Horse." - Comic Book Resources

"BRAIN BOY is a great new series but then again, with Fred Van Lente doing the writing, it really shouldn't be that much of a surprise. I can't wait to see what happens next." - Comic Vine

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 #25

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 9 #25 is exactly the finale it deserves. It's a culmination of this volume that leaves me grinning ear to ear as I find myself with no choice but to write: bring on Season 10!" - Unleash the Fanboy

"We had crossovers, we had references, but we still had a standalone purpose to each title. We end with some interesting cliffhangers leading up to next season and in the words of Buffy from "Once More With Feeling", we simply need to ask: "Where do we go from here?" - Comic Booked

Halo: Initiation #2

"It definitely has me excited for the next series and for the next game which is foolish considering it's not going to be out anytime soon. Don't let this video game tie-in scare you off because it's worth the read." - Comic Bastards

"Halo: Initiation #2 highlights some basic but key notes from works of science fiction. It builds itself up enough to earn a recommendation from this reviewer." - Unleash the Fanboy

Resident Alien: The Suicide Blond #1

"A sci-fi murder mystery, “Resident Alien: The Suicide Blonde” #1 engages its readers with a supporting cast of quirky characters and a weird-looking protagonist. Geared for newcomers, this installment is a quick introduction to the inhabitants of Patience, USA." - Bloody Disgusting

"Resident Alien first appeared in Dark Horse Presents, and I'm pleased to see it's getting this shot at a longer run. It's got tons of potential, and a strong execution." - Unleash the Fanboy

Star Wars #9

"The art continues to remain consistent and engaging even during the quieter moments of the story, all of which combine to tell an equally engaging story." - Newsarama

"Wood is working a lot of plots at the same time and it seems to be paying off. Separating the characters seems to be more of a fresh approach than normal for the Star Wars universe and I am definitely liking the execution. While I would like to see a single plot take ahold of an issue or two there is something to be said for constantly keeping all the plots in the reader's minds each issue. No matter how you look at this is a great read and has been each and every issue." - Comics List

The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #4

"With the finish line in sight, The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys Chapter 4: Run! is revving it's engine and firing on all cylinders. I'm not too keen on perfect scores, but I was hard pressed to find a reason against awarding one. Killjoys, you are perfect, now make some noise!" - Comics the Gathering

"These are all heavy philosophical questions, and Way, Simon, and Cloonan carry them on their backs as though they were weightless. Bigger picture concerns are handled more deftly than some of the plot's finer details, but overall, it's a stellar issue that is both thought-provoking and engaging." - IGN

X #5

"Swierczynski and Parker are keeping the bar set well, and if you still haven't picked up "X" but are interested, this is actually as good a place as any to start. It's a bit of epilogue, sure, but it's also a launching point for the series heading forward, too. If you want a dirty gritty crime comic, you should be reading "X." - Comic Book Resources

"Not as brutal as we've seen previously but still enough action to make it as edgy as promised. A solid book and totally worth it if you enjoy over-the-top action and characters." - Unleash the Fanboy
