They also found problems with the controls: "Sketch can't move rapidly around the panel, and button slamming yields unpredictable results." They concluded: "You really want to love ''Comix Zone'' for its original elements, but after a few panels, the honeymoon's over."<ref>{{cite magazine|author=The Unknown Gamer |date=August 1995|title=ProReview: Comix Zone|url=https://archive.org/details/GamePro_Issue_073_August_1995/page/n65/mode/2up|magazine=[[GamePro]]|publisher=[[International Data Group|IDG]]|issue=83|page=64}}</ref> The four reviewers of ''[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]'' acknowledged the problems with the controls, but also remarked that the graphics are exceptionally colorful for a Genesis game, and argued that the originality of its comic book look makes it a must-have despite its flaws.<ref name="EGM73" /> ''[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]'' reviewed the Genesis version of the game and stated that while the unique concept, outstanding visuals, and solid soundtrack make the game of interest, the gameplay is derivative and repetitive. They summed up: "A very cool idea for a game that wasn't executed properly, ''Comix Zone'' is better than most."<ref name="NG">{{cite magazine|date=August 1995 |title=Finals |url=https://archive.org/details/nextgen-issue-008/page/n75/mode/2up|magazine=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]|publisher=[[Imagine Media]] |issue=8|page=75}}</ref> In 2017, ''[[GamesRadar]]'' ranked ''Comix Zone'' 43rd on their "Best Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games of all time." They lauded the animation and sound effects as "magnificent" and beyond the supposed limitation of the console.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Loveridge |first=Sam |date=2017-06-21|title=Best Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Games of All Time |url=https://www.gamesradar.com/best-sega-genesis-games-all-time/|access-date=2022-02-20 |website=gamesradar |language=en}}</ref> {{Clear}}
