First Look: Anathema Book 1: The Evil That Men Do

I actually had the chance to read this early and I liked it! It's not so much that it reinvents the werewolf genre, but that it just does it right. It goes to show that when you stop fucking with the genre and just acknowledge it's strengths that it turns out really good.

Review: X-Files – Year One #5

X-Files: Year Zero’s first arc finale was not horrible, but it also didn’t blow my mind. That’s about par for the course on the series so far, though, so if you’ve been digging it so far: there’s more here to love! If you’ve been not-digging it, continue to stay away.

Review: The Massive #29

This feels like as good a place as any to put a pin in The Massive. The whole team has weathered what remains of the Crash (as far as we know), except for one key member of the team, whose leaving protects them all.

Review: Sex #18

If you are searching the market for something that is a little (well maybe a lot) change of pace, then I think this little opus being created by writer Joe Casey and mostly drawn by Piotr Kowalski might be right up your alley.

Review: Herald - Lovecraft & Tesla #1

This new alternate history take from writer John Reilly, with pencils by Tom Rogers and inks/colors/letters by Dexter Weeks and Michelle Nikolajevic, is ambitious and brave. Unfortunately it is also disjointed and doesn’t tell it’s story in a way that allows new readers to learn anything that they don’t already know about the historical figures that make up the cast.

Review: The Delinquents #4

Unexpected flamethrowers. Naked hobo bowel evacuations. Consensual mutant bestiality. Not only would all of these make fantastic band names, but much like raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, they are a few of my favorite things. Just kidding. Kind of.

Review: Dead Letters #6

Chris Sebela is one of the few creators nowadays who basically earns my money every time he puts a new comic out on the shelves, on the strength of High Crimes and Dead Letters.

Review: Captain Midnight #17

Captain Midnight… The Man… The Myth… The Legend… Kicking ass and working to save the world from the very technology that he developed. It has been a sensational run from top to bottom in this revamp of the classic Golden Age superhero that was at one time in the 1940s the most popular comic going.

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: Dawn of the Planet of the Apes #1

It’s been a few years since the end of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Caesar, Maurice, Koba and company are living the cage-free, free-range ape life. Although Maurice seems content with the progress the apes have made, Caesar is restless, as many great leaders tend to be.

Review: Samurai Jack #14

I really happy that I have stuck to this series. I truly love all-ages books, for the simple fact that I can share the comic with anyone.

Review: Oddly Normal #3

Welcome to Fignation, everyone. This is going to be a fun, colorful romp through the world of all things fictional, and I’m excited to get on the bug and take the ride the rest of the way.

Review: Wayward #4

Shit happens in this issue. Shit involving Japanese demons and a mysterious mom that I didn’t care about at all. Somewhere during this issue, I realized that Rori Lane’s story has lost my interest thanks to the lack of anything resembling an emotional arc for her.

Review: Sundowners #4

I’m not sure if it’s saying much if you’ve read my most recent Sundowners review, but this was by far my favorite issue since the premiere. Thanks to a mixture of more focused storytelling, interesting action scenes, and a greater sense of the apocalyptic stakes, Sundowners looks to be doing a turnaround from the type of early death that one of its characters faces this week.

Review: Rasputin #2

When I finished this issue, I said to myself, “is that it?” I was genuinely quite surprised at how abruptly this second installment ends, but then that surprise evolved into disappointment at how slowly this book is moving forward. In my review of the first issue of Rasputin I said that it was flawed but had potential, and I still feel that way about the book now. But I’m starting to wonder just how long this book will take to fix the flaws that are currently weighing it down.

Review: Godzilla Rulers of Earth #18

Lucy and crew investigate a huge crater unearthed in Brazil. From it are taken glowing rocks that turn out to be something sinister. When Megaguirus spawn emerge from the forests, Lucy and her friends are forced to flee.

Review: Dark Engine #4

Dark Engine is one of the seemingly endless titles that Image is pumping out these days, but unlike some of the publisher’s risky, even unworthy endeavors, I’m afraid this quirky, unfortunately unsung fantasy book may get lost in the shuffle of big-named mediocrity (like this week’s fucking abysmal Ody-C, for example).

Review: Toe Tag Riot #1

Toe Tag Riot is what you would get if you took equal parts The Blues Brothers, SLC Punk and The Walking Dead and threw them into an extremely hip blender.
