Welcome to this week’s addition of Unleash the Fanboy’s Image Comics Reviews. With Avengers vs. X-Men and The Night of the Owls going on, you might think the other companies get left behind. While these big events are getting more publicity, these comics are filled with some great story-telling waiting for someone to pick one up. So without further ado, let’s get started.

Super Dinosaur #10

Super Dinosaur is a great series. There are a ton of comics out there that use the ‘All Ages’ rating, yet still contain questionable material that I personally think would warrant a “T” (for teen!). Super Dinosaur is great for a few different reasons. It’s something everyone, and I mean everyone can enjoy. A person who’s 8 years old would have a blast reading it, and someone 16 (like myself) will end up burning through the book in a fit of good ol’ fashioned fun. This issue features  some great writing for an all-ages book, nothing really juvenile at all. That’s the thing about a lot of all-ages books, sometimes they’re written like kids have no intelligence whatsoever. Super Dinosaur #10 brings everything an all-ages comic should bring.

Prophet #24

There are many comics out there. Therefore, it’s hard to find anything truly original. Image is good with that however, they provide new and original stories not seen in other companies. Prophet is one of them. This issue being the start of a new arc, I thought it was the perfect time to jump into the series. What I read is by far one of the more interesting and ‘isolated Mass Effect‘ feel ones. The only real drawback is that it’s not too new reader friendly.

Near Death #7

There are three types of comics. There’s the epic fantasy/science fiction with cosmic level beings, (Justice League) the more down-to-earth and gritty, (Detective Comics) and the completely realistic ones with no capes or anything like that. (This series.) Usually I don’t read comics in the latter category. (After all, usually a comic’s purpose is to escape reality for fun entertainment.) However, after reading this comic, I think realistic comics have the most heart out of the categories. Near Death #7 is one of the most heartfelt comics I’ve read in a long time.
