CBR Review: Zombies vs. Robots Aventure #4

I recently reviewed Zombies vs. Robots Aventure #4 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Concluding the latest book in the Zombies vs. Robots series from IDW, the fourth issue of the anthology Zombies vs. Robots Adventure is more an artist showcase than a display of amazing writing. Chris Ryall does some solid work in this issue, but the focus is clearly on the three artists, each tackling one of the stories, and showing off their unique styles and skills. While all are promising and show a lot of potential, the book never coheres completely. Each story in this issue concludes the four-part serialization and each does offer something a little different from the others."

CBR Review: Weekly World News #1

I recently reviewed Weekly World News #1 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "The comic adaptation of the defunct tabloid newspaper has finally arrived and it’s as irreverent and insane as the paper that inspired it, but it also doesn’t hold together as a comic. Chris Ryall does his best to pull together the disparate threads of various recurring elements of the paper into a cohesive, compelling story, but it never happens. Instead, what we get is an odd jumbling of not-quite-funny satire and a central story that is lacking because the main character isn’t anything more than an easy stereotype of the angry conservative paranoid."

CBR Review: Groom Lake #3

I recently reviewed Groom Lake #3 for CBR and, in the process, wrote the following sentences: "Ryall’s writing matches the art wonderfully with some hilarious lines thrown in, most notably the laid back tone of Archie’s speech. He is the friendly alien pal, speaking in pleasant tones, but often about things like destroying aircraft or leaving the human race to die a horrible death. Karl’s panicked tones act as a good counterbalance with Anita somewhere in the middle, more aloof and sarcastic."
