seems like the title is picking up some steam. A varied cast of supporting characters is developing, and I like that Leeja and Magnus weren't paired together right off the bat. a good love triangle can give this title some spice. Magnus gets some new threads in this one. I wasn't expecting to like them, but the outcome is much easier to stomach than past attempts at updating magnus' look. overall, a solid B. Still nothing has wowed me, but my interest has been held.
Part 3 of Metal Mob - I think this has been a better re-introduction so far than Solar. Each issue has had it's own self-contained adventure along with the over-arcing story of the Metal Mob, love triangle, etc.
A lot more talk about the Q-robs and the Q-rob rebellion that happens (presumably) in Magnus #0. The Q-robs sound a lot like the freewill robs from Valiant, I really hope we get to see issue 0 sometime soon.
The art has improved steadily each issue. Not the most dynamic of styles but very solid, lots of detail and some very pretty panels. Not a fan of the new costume, the solid red battle tunic is too classic to try and update. I don't mind if he has some alternates, but to me the tight gym short look is even gayer than the skirt
Hopefully issue 4 will come soon (looks like a 2 month wait though) as I think Metal Mob will read well in one sitting. I give it a B

I think the whole line is improving as it goes - I wish they were coming out faster, but I enjoyed this one.StarBrand wrote:Anyone pick this issue up yet? Thoughts/reviews?

I think Magnus has been great so far, the problem is it's the best title and it's only at 3 issues in what seems like forever.sbcomics wrote:I think the whole line is improving as it goes - I wish they were coming out faster, but I enjoyed this one.StarBrand wrote:Anyone pick this issue up yet?

If Magnus were on issue 6 and Solar were on 2 or 3 they'd be better off picking up steam with sales and following.
I loved Turok too but just based off one issue. Samson I could take or leave, it's not bad. Solar is getting better but still not good.

If DH can get the shipping schedule fixed, things will be far more satisfactory.
