Review: Endless Sky – A Swiss in New York

The first thing I would say about David Boller’s Endless Sky, is that anyone that’s looking to get into comics should read it at one point. It’s not a how to guide or a best case/worst case scenario, but it’s an interesting read that gives a lot of insight. At least the beginning chapters.

Review: I Was The Cat

There are two things that are certain in this world. One: I love cats. I have loved cats before it was cool. Before everything thought you were some sort of hipster for loving cats but instead a freak. Before watching videos online became the ultimate pastime. Before naming your cat after a celebrity was normal. Yeah I have loved cats all my life. Two: Cats are assholes.

Review: The Private Eye #7

While everyone is busy jizzing on themselves every month about Brian K. Vaughan’s current indie darling, Saga, they’re missing his other stellar ongoing work, The Private Eye. This is not to say people should not love Saga (because they definitely should), but that the dude is all about experimenting with the form and the business on The Private Eye, and that’s rad as hell.

Review: Terminal Hero #1

I think my soft spot for Peter Milligan has finally worn out. He had a decent run, but now it seems that everything he writes is about the same: below average. Terminal Hero can be described as Phenomenon with John Travolta, but with super powers. If that sounds like a great idea to you then you might still like this comic, but I did not.

Review: Clockwork Angels #4

I’ve been a big fan of this series thus far. That said, this issue to me really fails to deliver on what I’ve come to love from Clockwork Angels. I can only think of two memorable moments in the whole issue which I’ll get to. I just feel this issue was all filler and set-up.

Review: Harbinger: Omegas #1

Finally we’re getting to the good stuff! Harbinger has been building up towards this event and though I’m confused on the status of Harbinger itself, I’m just going to enjoy not one, but two different mini-series filling in for the regular ongoing.

Review: The Woods #4

How long is this mini-series? I can tell you right now it’s not going to be long enough. BOOM! needs to pull a play out of Image’s handbook and extend the series because there’s no way I’m going to be content with just four more issues.

Review: Rogue Trooper Classics #4

Good comic book reading folk, it is time to follow the advice of a variant cover of this title and “Fight the Fear of Future War with Rogue Trooper”. You will be very, very glad that you did. IDW has really turned up this classic 2000 AD character to white knuckle proportions as their revamp has been simply fantastic.

Review: Knuckleheads #8

Well here it is… the final issue of Knuckleheads volume one. I don’t know when we’ll get to continue this story, but as long as it continues I don’t care. Since this is the end of an arc and everything is basically a spoiler, don’t expect a long review.

Review: Nightworld #1

Do you ever just finish a comic and say “what the hell did I just read?” I’m definitely getting that feeling from Nightworld but that isn’t to say I didn’t like it. I think that there’s just a lot of explaining that needs to happen in the next issues. However, I love the style of writing Adam McGovern brings to Nightworld, it felt very Poe-esque. It has this haunting dream like feel to it that I haven’t seen in a long time.

Review: Steven Universe #1

Steven Universe seems to hold at its core a small boy with severe attention problems. If the comic is looking to mirror the mindset of Steven, then it is working. This issue has nine covers, one main story, three backup stories and a preview of Uncle Grandpa. That’s a lot to take in.

Review: Epic #2

It’s been a while since we talked about Epic on the site. We had an early, early look at the first issue and so some time has passed since then. I for one enjoyed the first issue. Sure there isn’t a lot of meat and potatoes to the tale, but that’s okay.

Review: Alex + Ada #8

This issue starts off where #7 left off and Ada is very concerned about the possibility of her and Alex getting caught in the crackdown. This is where we get to see an interesting dynamic of the book: is it better to be sentient and free while still acting like a robot, with an extreme large risk at hand?

Review: Spread #2

So, I want to start this review of Spread #2 in a strange place: the end. The back matter after this issue is a note from Justin Jordan qualifying what he calls “the elephant in the room,” which is the Saga-esque approach this story takes to narration.

Review: Animals: Pigs

The world of Animals is a strange one. It’s a dash of Animal Farm and Planet of the Apes, but has this rural town feel to it that’s definitely its own. What caught my attention in the first issue Animals: Chickens was the serious mood that the story had. Actually it was more of a melancholy sensation that the story had and that’s continued here. It’s honestly very difficult to describe which I’m sure most people will see when they read it.

Review: Vampirella #3

With Nancy A. Collins’ new look at the classic character Vampirella, a lot has changed and nothing has changed. Enemies have become allies, allies, enemies, and it’s confusion abound as Ms. V. has to sort through this rather sticky and mazelike web in preparation to face an ultimate and destructive evil that is growing and will be using her as the vessel to unleash hellish wickedness and destruction upon the earth.

Review: Goddess Inc. #1

If I had to compare Goddess Inc. to another comic, it would be Ultra, it has a similar feel but the characters in Goddess Inc. are a little less compelling and relatable. These gods are cold and vengeful but I kind of like that they are just one big dysfunctional family.

Review: Dry Spell #2

You would think that in this age of comics in which the market is still dominated/mostly superhero titles and with the genre arguably at its best in terms of writing and art, that there would be more stories about super villains.
