Review: Lady Demon #1

I was really beginning to wonder about Dynamite’s Chaos! line. I’ve yet to enjoy a single issue of the relaunch and it really was bumming me out. Leave it to the one Chaos! character that I’m not familiar with to save the day.

Review: Fraggle Rock: Journey to the Everspring #3

Joseph Campbell once wrote, “If the path before you is clear, you are probably on someone else’s.”

Review: Samurai Jack #15

I feel like the art and colors in this comic can do no wrong. Just when I mention almost every review that I love the use of passionate colors by Josh Burcham, he throws white at me in the cover.

Review: Zombie Tramp #5

With this only being the second arc of the ongoing series it's difficult to see what the formula will be for the series. If this issue is any indication of what to expect then there might be a trend of starting weak and ending strong.

Review: John Carter Warlord of Mars #2

Coming off my high from JCWM #1, I was bracing myself for a letdown, the crash of a mediocre second issue. Praise be to Marz that the only crashing I felt while reading this wonderful second book was that of a four-armed white ape barrel-assing through the pages.

Review: The Goon #49

So much hype goes to such valueless pieces of shit that a work of pure genius like The Goon not being talked about, hyped up, or optioned for the cinema makes me ashamed to be part of the comic media circle.

Review: Wild’s End #4

So many good comics came out for me this week, but Wild’s End holds a special place. I love the plot movement of this comic. We follow a group of animals searching for the aliens that have recently landed and killed in their town. What makes it so great involves the characters.

Review: Eternal #1

The year is 2270, the human race has perfected cloning, and death is a thing of the past.

Review: Bitch Planet #1

Kelly Sue DeConnick’s Bitch Planet was, from the moment of its announcement, a contentious title; in name, of course, but also because it followed fresh on the heels of Alex de Campi’s incredible Grindhouse: Doors Open at Midnight issues three and four (published exactly a year ago), which contained the “Prison Ship Antares” storyline that riffed on similar exploitation themes, and was also set in space.

Reivew: Punks: The Comic #3

Punks the Comic is crazy…Positively, absolutely crazy. How crazy? You ask. Well, in Issue #3, we have the guys preparing for Thanksgiving, Dog interacting with Sean Connery (and eventually the Baldwin Brothers) in his refrigerator.

Review: 2000 AD - Prog 1911

As per usual, here are my three awesome things about Prog 1911, the last normal-length Prog of the year.

Review: Mercy Thompson #3

Our killer strikes again, Mercy gets some answers, and Jesse’s only friend is probably centuries old.

Review: Sex Criminals #9

It’s that glorious time again when Brimpers can rejoice--Lo, the return of the Sex Criminals is nigh. It’s another strong, hilarious entry in this delightful series from the two most deranged bastards to ever cash a paycheck, and I can’t wait for them to tie it together next month.

Review: Hero Cats of Stellar City #3

So around Christmas, I always think it is important to buy comics! Buy comics for yourself, but especially for other people. I like to try and get one gift for someone a graphic novel or comic. This gets them started on the right foot for the New Year. My pick this holiday season is Hero Cats. Kids will love this comic and immediately fall in love with their cat from Stellar City.

Review: The Empty Man #6

Despite what the issue numbering suggests, this doesn’t feel like an ending. That’s not to say that a couple of outstanding story beats haven’t been completed, with a few old and new ones left dangling to reel the reader in again, but I think this is where I get off The Empty Man ... which is totally what she said.

Review: The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil (OGN)

Thus begins the quiet, weird wonder of Stephen Collins’ original graphic novel, The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil, setting a tone that is part Seussian magic realist cautionary tale, part modernist allegorical poem, part social satire and all the way enjoyable.

Review: Tooth and Claw #2

The first issue of Tooth and Claw was one of the most promising debuts to come out of Image this year, and I’m happy to say that the second instalment doesn’t disappoint either.

Review: Eternal Warrior - Days of Steel #2

The first issue of Eternal Warrior: Days of Steel was a flawed but fun read that set up this mini-series nicely. It is with regret that I have to say how much damage this issue did to that solid foundation.

Review: Nailbiter #8

I don’t know how I feel about Nailbiter this week. It wasn’t that it was different from any other issue, it was that it was just all the same. I think that is why Nailbiter becomes a good read but not great.
