After my review of Divinity #2, I ended up in a pretty long conversation with a close friend about this comic, telling him how much I enjoyed it and speculating about where I thought the story might eventually turn.

Often art can get us to gain perspective on life that would otherwise be unavailable to us. Sometimes that perspective allows us to see the world from the point of view of a super being with the power to hurtle through space at the speed of BOOMS!,

This review starts with a threat. If cable tv or Netflix doesn’t buy the television rights to Stray Bullets by a week from this publication, I will release a cheapo adaptation on Youtube, featuring sock puppets and me doing each character’s voice with my old timey prospector accent.

I read this comic with a level of glee that I typically reserve for Christmas Eve. It feels like ages since I opened the file to the first issue of The Private Eye, and I’m biased in talking about this comic in that I admire Brian K. Vaughan, Marcos Martin, and Munsta Vicente for going a non-traditional route in this comic’s release, making it pay-what-you-want through their own online store.

I wanna say profound things about Divinity because it’s a pretty profound book. Set up as a mystery about how a cosmonaut left Earth and returned with god-like powers, it’s a compelling read that is emotionally evocative even though its main character is a detached super-being.

All I want from everything I read is for it to be the best version of itself. The best version of Help Us, Great Warrior is a sweet, hilarious comic for children and young teens, an audience assessment I don’t dish out often, but feels especially vital to consider when writing about this book.

For a guy who works on multiple projects simultaneously, it’s infuriatingly impressive how gracefully Matt Fractions moves between genres.

Black Science would make for a great CW show, and I mean that as a compliment since I’m referring to Arrow era CW and not the Gossip Girl CW. This came to mind when I realized that despite its serial nature, many issues of Black Science seems like they monster of the week stories only rather than a monster each week we get to see a new dimension about every three issues rendered with immaculate detail by Matteo Scalera and colored by Moreno Disino.Black Science would make for a great CW show, and I mean that as a compliment since I’m referring to Arrow era CW and not the Gossip Girl CW.

The Wicked + The Divine is a comic I’ve been actively following since even before my time with Comic Bastards, seeing the solicitations with those already iconic portrait covers from series artist Jamie McKlevie on other titles leading up to its premiere last summer.

It’s an interesting conceit, using the cover as the first page of the story. That’s probably the most noteworthy positive about this comic for me. Even after the first two issues left a bad impression, I went into this one thinking that perhaps something about the nature of this team would reveal itself and complicate things in an interesting manner.
