Review: The Double Life of Miranda Turner #4
It’s been a minute since we last saw The Double Life of Miranda Turner, but if you’ve read any MonkeyBrain title then you know that sometimes you have to wait a while to get the next issue. Hell for only a buck an issue I don’t mind and it sure doesn’t change the enjoyment level of this issue.
Review: Adventure Time #34
#34 concludes the Mnemonoid story arc, picking up right where we left off. Finn has a way to stop the creature, and just in time- Ooo is covered in ice, Queen Bubblegum is wallowing in the dark, and Finn is old. Super old.
Review: Shaft #1
If you’re expecting, as Dynamite puts it, “the black private dick that’s a sex machine with all the chicks,” you might be pleasantly surprised with Shaft #1. In what is amazingly Shaft’s first appearance in comics, we meet a much younger man before all the dick and chick stuff.
Group Review: Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1952 #1
A new series starring Hellboy is kind of a big deal, especially since he’s in hell and all. The participating writers/reviewers of Comic Bastards will give their thoughts on the issue along with a score. Before that though, here’s what the issue is about from Dark Horse Comics
Review: Escape From New York #1
Even though I wasn’t blown away by BOOM!’s Big Trouble in Little China, I couldn’t help but get excited about Escape From New York. Growing up Snake Plissken was one of my favorite film characters, so much so that I struggled through the terrible sequel Escape From L.A. in which showed an aged Kurt Russell surf as he ran the gambit of California stereotypes (most of which are only true on TV).
Review: Army of Darkness: Ash in Space #1
The well-handled Ash Gets Hitched miniseries provided a great dose of fun and action into the otherwise weak monthly offering. With Steve Niles and crew stepping back to allow Cullen Bunn a turn at writing the chainsaw handed chronologically displaced anti-hero, a new turn begins for Ash and the Army of the Dead.
Review: Valiant-Sized Quantum & Woody
I should preface this review with the caveat that I am an unabashed Quantum and Woody fan. I should qualify that further by saying I mean the NEW Quantum and Woody, because that old stuff is ... not my cuppa. So, I was excited to see that its publisher would be releasing a “Valiant-Sized” issue of this book.
Review: Chew #45
Here’s the thing about Chew, it’s kind of the Seinfeld of comics. Let me explain. It doesn’t really change month to month, but it still manages to be incredible. You kind of know what to expect and really you’re just popping in to be entertaining, but you’re not expecting the world to dramatically change or anything.
Review: Usagi Yojimbo - Senso #5
Senso is on its 5th issue, so we are right before closing out this story arc with #6. Only just jumping onto this series has proved to be worth the read. Usagi is addicting for several reasons. The first includes the art by Stan Sakai. The battle scenes make every issue worth it all.
Review: Alien Vs. Predator: Fire and Stone #3
On the cover readers will find an Engineer tainted Predator covered in his own glowing blood raising a fist to punch a Xenomorph. The rest of the book is a direct continuation of the action portrayed so well on the cover.
Review: Ehmm Theory – Everything and Small Doses #2
The only thing better than Mr. Whispers is two Mr. Whispers. If there were three I think my mind would explode from insane cuteness (which is very rare btw). We get our Whispers who is sweet, funny, and surprisingly smart about cult films.
Review: 2000 AD - Prog 1910
Borag Thungg peeps, guzzle down the last vestiges of your dry Thanksgiving leftovers with three awesome things about this week's Prog.
Review: Grandville Noel
A missing girl, a string of thefts across Europe, a religious cult, the rights of human beings, and Christmas. All of these and more are explored in this volume of Grandville. The steampunk adventures of Detective Inspector Archibald “Archie” LeBrock, a large bipedal badger. Oh I did mention the world is full of fully sentient, bipedal animals, right?
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: Judge Dredd #25
You all are invited to a Mega City Manhunt to the highest power. After some pretty smooth acts of treachery and sinister intent, Chief Justice Cal has rendered the entire city to be utilized to finding Judge Joseph Dredd who is a fugitive from the justice of which he once served.
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.
