After its successful Kickstarter project I was glad to see Midnight Tiger picked up by Action Lab. It was a story I was eager to read and with Action Lab I knew that it would get a wide release and I would have my opportunity to read it.

Well this issue is a change of pace. You’ll notice instantly from the cover that there are two things different about this issue: 1) its illustrated by the fantastically talented Juan Ferreyra and 2) Abe… doesn’t look like himself or rather he looks like his old self.

This is a good damn issue, but for reason completely different from the previous two issues. In this issue we see Aric crushed. He’s a man that’s given up hope and his once proud warrior spirit is no more. I mean this is Aric, the dude that’s strong enough to wield the X-O suit and ballsy enough to land his spaceship in the middle of Romania and proclaim it his once more. The man who picked a fight with the world rather than listen… and his spirit is crushed.

I’ve read a lot of great series this year; books that have really stolen a place in my heart with how fantastic they are and San Hannibal is one of those series. The first issue assured that I would be back for the second, but I lost track of it for a moment and didn’t catch its release and forgot about it.

The world of Super Corporate Heroes isn’t your typical superhero world. It tows the line between the average superhero world and our own world which makes the commentary about both interesting. Image this if you will, all vigilantes work for and are licensed by Superhero, Inc. which is a private company that regulates and payrolls superheroes. Here’s the thing about that though… they’ll only save you if you have the money.

Father Robot is an interesting idea; it’s basically about the consciousness of a man that’s been copied into a robot. I know that seems like a pretty big spoiler, but that’s actually how the story begins as we see a little girl and a mech that she calls “daddy” running from other mechs trying to kill them.

The first thing to note about Purgatory Pub is that it is very theological. If you’re someone that’s defensive when it comes to your beliefs then you might find this to be a challenging read. Not that you shouldn’t still checking it out, but you will be challenged.

Seven Years in Dog-Land is an Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland type of story that sees a young girl coincidentally named Alice, transported to a world in which dogs are the ruling species and humans are treated as food, pets and entertainment. It has flashes of Gulliver’s Travels and Planet of the Apes at times as well.

It has been far too long since I talked about The Dead, but fear not this afterlife mystery thriller/horror title from James Maddox and Jen Hickman has continued on through and is now on Comixology’s Submit. This third issue collects chapters five through seven of the online comic in case like me you’ve now read a mixture of both the web-comic and digital issues. Also if you’re like me then you re-read the entire series in issue form as well.

Compared to the other issues of Yi Soon Shin this issue is light on the action. It makes up for it with some major story twists, most I won’t be able to cover without spoiling so I just won’t cover them.
