Review: The Manhattan Projects #25

There is a hole in your life. You may not know it exists, and you really won't until you have read Manhattan Projects. That hole is a need for a supremely bad ass Albert Einstein.

Review: Sally of the Wasteland #5

How dare you make me feel emotions while reading this comic! I expected light-hearted moments, with a lot of demented deaths that made me chuckle. Instead I actually wound up caring about our title character Sally and yes even her “never gonna happen” boyfriend.

Review: Memetic #2

In a month where Kim Kardashian’s prominent assets saw fit to purportedly “break the internet” - but really just led to a viral outbreak of stellar photoshopping - it is perhaps a no-more-fortuitous time for pop culture to address the ramifications of unchecked meme-ing. I mean, what if that image of KK’s “hey-hey” was somehow corrupted by, say, a neurological virus that made us eat each other? We’d all be super fucked right now, amirite?

Review: TMNT #40

I couldn’t be more thrilled to see Alopex and Angel ganging up together. I mean with Bebop and Rocksteady in the picture, and then you throw on Hob with some more mutant creations of his, you are bound to have one crazy event. So of course two women, Angel and Alopex need to step in and save them all. Yeah, if you haven't been keeping up with this series some serious shit is going down.

Review: ODY-C #1

I have an embarrassing English major confession (I may have gotten a degree in Playwriting, but I was an English major in practice and in spirit for a long time): I never read The Odyssey.

Review: Robyn Hood #4

Hell yes! The day I picked up my first Robyn Hood was a crossover event with Red Riding Hood. And I distinctly remember telling readers that 1. Robyn is the star of this event and 2. I couldn’t wait for them to meet again, because it would be even better. That day has arrived. When I saw the cover for Robyn Hood, I knew I recognized that girl in red. The cover has this hell yes factor to it, and so does the story.

Review: Bee and Puppycat #6

It’s getting a little difficult to say something fresh about Bee and Puppycat. Issue by issue, the comic has its riotous standouts, adorable quiet moments, and flat-out duds, and though its strength continues to be its collection of vignettes about the titular characters, I get increasingly interested in seeing a more extended comic story (I know there’s a show, but it seems to care just as little about plot and character development as the comic). Regardless of that minor quibble, Bee and Puppycat was once again was mostly a joy to read.

Review: Edward Scissorhands #2

Edward Scissorhands #2 continues right where we left off. Megs is snooping, Edward is lonely, and Eli has blood on his claws.

Review: The White Suits

As someone who is fascinated by Russian history and the Cold War era, I was expecting The White Suits to be right up my alley. It follows the story of FBI agent Sarah Anderson as she attempts to track down the mysterious White Suits, a gang who savaged the Russian underworld in the days of the Cold War, and also the people who killed her father.

Review: Vampirella Feary Tales #2

The first installment of Vampirella Feary Tales had me excited at first. That is, until I read it. I have loved Nancy A. Collins’ excellent rendering of the title and I had hoped that Feary Tales was going to be a nice enhancement to the primary title. Well, it didn’t quite work out like that at all.

Review: Dawn/Vampirella #2

Last month, I really enjoyed Joseph Michael Linsner’s mash up of his character Dawn (Goddess of Witches) and the cult classic revamp Vampirella (Queen of Vampires).

Review: Deadly Class #9

By James Anders II

Ok, I love Deadly Class. I have been hooked from the first issue and find myself when I am reading it to be brought back to those wayward days of my own youth when I was a teenager, trying to be cool, trying to get laid, and trying not to look like an idiot.

Review: The Motherless Oven

On a recent looting at Montreal’s iconic indie comic institution, Drawn & Quarterly, I came across a book with the following back-cover blurb: “The weather clock said knife o’clock, so I chained Dad up in the shed.” Call me impulsive, but that’s the kind of call-out that grabs my attention.

Review: Predator: Fire and Stone #2

The first few pages of this comic serve as backstory as to why the Predator misses an eye and hates the Engineers.

Review: Punk Mambo #0

Since we’re all friends here, I won’t lie to you: I only picked up Punk Mambo #0 because of the title. I saw it in a list and went, “shit that’s a fantastic title,” and into my review pile it went. Color me surprised when it turned out to be a Peter Milligan book with a Russell Dautermann cover and it’s in the Valiant Universe.
