Just a sampling of comments made about these books.  For the full version, click on the link provided at the beginning of each paragraph.

Masks 5, Unleasethefanboy: This might just be the biggest issue of MASKS since #1...Chris Roberson juggles all these characters well, which is quite impressive considering the large number which appear....Black Bat is a neat inclusion. Granted, he doesn’t have a truly important role other than to give the story another character, but that of course could change in coming issues...

Dennis Calero’s art is strong throughout. A minor complaint is that the faces sometimes look a little strange, but otherwise it’s solid. The action comes alive in a bright and dynamic way. Covers are once again fantastic. The main one by the always amazing Alex Ross showcases Zorro and Black Bat, pretty accurate since both get their major debuts...Overall, a great installment of MASKS. The plots moves with some very interesting development...These pulp heroes are quickly rising up to becoming all star comic characters, you should be reading this event.

Miss Fury 1, Unleashthefanboy: (Rob) Williams smoothly explains what could be an easily convoluted plot....The art of this comic is done by Jack Herbert and is phenomenal...Each panel transitions seamlessly to the next and, let’s face it, the pages are just sexy...

I heartily look forward to the second issue and give this one a five out of five. I have no complaints and I feel like it has started with a great platform to launch from.

Miss Fury 1, Geeks of Doom:  I have to say, I REALLY enjoyed this book...I was shocked at how Miss Fury #1 was written: cliffhangers, mysteries, good old fashioned super heroics, fun, it’s really got it all. Not only do you get a fantastic adventure that finishing with a great cliffhanger ending, (Rob) Williams also manages to sneak in a FULL and COMPLETE origin story into the issue about halfway through...

Good God, I hope Jack Herbert stays with this book. Forever. His art is, simply put, GORGEOUS! There is a ton of different things that have to be drawn here. Everything from rooftop fight scenes to jungle adventures to high society functions, and Herbert renders them all perfectly...There’s also some great close up human expressions done here. Just fantastic...BUY THIS!!!….but, only if you’re over 17 years of age. This series is definitely NOT for the younger readers. That being said, it’s awesome. A proud addition to Dynamite’s excellent stable of pulp heroes.

Miss Fury 1, bloody-disgusting:  ...an impressive first issue with a protagonist that we’ve all seen before. Yet, an imaginative and original plot and some rather impressive art let this book stand out among the other number one’s out there. If the frenzied pace keeps up, and the setup from this issue has proper payoff, we’re looking at one helluva great new series.
