Reptil #3 – Vol. 1 – 2021 continues the exciting journey of Marvel’s young dino-powered hero, Humberto Lopez, as he begins to better understand his unique abilities and confronts threats that challenge both his powers and his sense of identity. Written by Terry Blas, with dynamic art from Enid Balam, this issue balances superhero action with heartfelt personal growth, all while leaning into themes of family, legacy, and self-discovery.
By the time we reach this third chapter, Reptil is no longer just trying to survive strange attacks — he’s starting to take ownership of his power to transform into prehistoric creatures, and that evolution is central to the story. There’s a greater sense of confidence in his actions, but also an underlying tension as deeper mysteries about his family and his missing parents begin to surface.
Reptil #3 ramps up the narrative stakes by diving into a confrontation that puts both Humberto and his friends in serious danger. The story introduces magical and mystical elements, with a villain whose motivations are more complex than they first appear. It’s here where Terry Blas shines — blending superhero action with emotional nuance. Humberto isn’t just a teenage hero with cool powers; he’s a teenager navigating his cultural identity, family expectations, and the burden of a power he’s still learning to control.
Enid Balam’s artwork is vibrant, youthful, and expressive. The dinosaur transformations remain visually exciting, with strong attention to anatomy and movement. Paired with Victor Olazaba’s inks and Carlos Lopez’s colours, the visual storytelling is polished and bold, perfectly matching the tone of a Marvel teen superhero book.
Reptil stands out in Marvel’s lineup as a fresh face in a new generation of heroes, and this issue continues to build on that promise with action, heart, and thoughtful character development. It’s ideal for younger readers or long-time fans looking for a modern, diverse addition to the Marvel Universe.
