Displaced Persons is one of the best comic books I have read. Ever. Not just the best of the week or the month or even the year, but ever. It’s a story that is complex to understand and yet easy to explain. The problem is that once you explain it, some of the magic is gone from reading it. I’ll do my best not to ruin it for you.

Ciudad is a story primed for the graphic novel format, but at times also feels like a story that wants to be on the silver screen. That’s not always a bad thing as the creators take a cinematic approach to the story and it’s pacing.

Junk Food Fighter popped up on my radar due to its impressive art. Right off the bat it had a Frank Cho look to it that reminded me a lot of Liberty Meadows; just replace adorable talking creatures with grotesque junk food creatures.

Don’t let the name fool you; you don’t need to be a sister or to have a sister in order to enjoy Sisters. The subject of Raina Telgemeier’s newest graphic novel is in a way just siblings, but hey lonely only-child that may be reading this you now get to see what you missed out on.

Maddy Kettle is an all-ages graphic novel or really just a kid’s book that’s fun for adults to read too. The story kicks off with Maddy on a train proclaiming an idea to share with her parents. Her parents are then revealed to be mice… talking mice.

If you’ve kept up with the site then you already know that I’ve been following and reviewing Oni Press and Ted Naifeh’s Princess Ugg in single issue form.

As a site we’ve already talked a lot about Carpe Diem from Atomeka and Titan Comics. Originally we saw it appear in A-1, which was an anthology containing Carpe Diem, The Weirding Willows and Odyssey. I’ve fallen behind on the hardcovers for the latter two series, but I couldn’t miss another opportunity to talk about Carpe Diem.

This is actually the second review I’ve written for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. The first was for a different website and was actually the very first review I wrote for them.

There was a lot of potential for this series after the first issue. Instead this second issue jumps a year ahead in the story so that it can stay in line with the original Robin Hood narrative. It the loosest sense it works, but the story would have benefitted from not taking the obvious path.

Dark Ages is a series that initially slipped by me due to its mundane title, but then I remembered that it was the creative team behind The New Deadwardians

How dare the creative team make us wait for more Peter Panzerfaust, am I right? Actually I think they can take as much time as they want if it means producing issues like this one.

Who knew that the latter half of 2014 was going to have so many strong titles battling for attention? It’s quite the opposite of last year at this time.

Well I’m actually a week late on this series, but I enjoyed it so much I couldn’t help put take a moment to catch up on it.

Bear with me as I attempt to fill in on Supreme – Blue Rose for a month while Steve is on vacation. I won’t dare try to match his style as doing so would be as foolish as trying to capture Warren Ellis’ voice for this review… I simply can’t.
