Henshin!, Volume 1: Blazing Phoenix by Bon Idle, Mitch Proctor, Saturday AM
3.0

Basically this feels like Power Rangers Meets Godzilla or Pasific Rim, and for that, it was entertaining enough.

My biggest two drawbacks is reading this digital, all the pages were double presented, I couldn't get one page at a time. Which is odd because none of the other books I read on here (netgallery) had that issue. Saying that, it was still readable just a bit of a pain.

I did enjoy our main hero. Him trying to balance being a hero while also his love life was solid. I liked the queer angle as it's something new for me. I always enjoy different perspectives and thought that was handled well.

The action was decent enough but I couldn't help but feel like I've been through these story beats and fights before. Not bad but I wasn't blown away.

Saying all that, if you are a fan of Godzilla and Power Rangers and things like this, this is a solid fun read. A 3 out of 5.

(I received a NetGallery ARC to give a fair and honest review).
