Review: The Woods #10

I think that knowing this series is going to run for a couple of years is what makes the story so interesting. Each issue we’re given a little more of the world and what’s going on, but how long can it really go on for?

Review: The Ghost Fleet #4

Oh how I’ve been kicking myself for not reviewing this series. The Ghost Fleet is hands down one of Dark Horse’s best new titles. Donny Cates and Daniel Warren Johnson have been kicking major ass on a story that is riddled with supernatural elements, government conspiracies and heart. So much damn heart.

Review: East of West #17

It isn’t the biggest news that I’m a fan of Hickman and Dragotta’s East of West. In fact, I’m pretty vocal about it, and have spent a significant amount of time wildly demanding to friends, family and unsettled passersby that it is one of the best ongoing books on the stands today.

Review: Escape From New York #3

I broke down and read this week’s issue of Escape From New York and man oh man do I wish I hadn’t. That’s why I’m writing the review so that others won’t make the same mistake.

Review: Army of Darkness – Ash in Space #3

It’s Evil Dead. In space. Usually space is where movie franchises go to die. Jason X (Jason in space), Leprechaun 4: In Space, Hellraiser 4: Bloodlines (in space) and Leprechaun 5: In The Hood are a few examples. Except that last one, while technically not in space, is worth mentioning. Because it has Ice-T in it. Also, I think, a gangster makes a gold grill out of the Leprechauns gold. So, that’s kind of the biggest hurdle to overcome.

Review: Zombie Tramp #7

Okay now I’m worried about this series. This is the third issue in a row in which basically the same shit has happened. I get that she’s on a road trip, but when every stop is the same… it’s not fun for the reader.

Review: Hollywood Zombie Apocolypse #2

The summary claims 'Hollywood and zombies collide in this hilarious two-part parody comic book'. Unfortunately, hilarious might be a bit of an over-statement. The jokes often fall flat and are more 'oh, I can see why that might be funny' or ' that was funny when I heard it before'.

Review: Flash Gordon #8

Flash Gordon #8 looked like the end to the story arc. Everyone is back home and treated like heroes. For all the crew it seemed that the notoriety and success was coming their way. Each member was given a special position in government and they were treated like heroes for coming back to earth. It all seemed to be great and coming to a nice close.

Review: Sundowners #6

Talk about some character progression? Ok, I will. While Sundowners has so far vacillated between intriguing and frustrating on almost an issue-by-issue basis, it definitely can’t be faulted for a lack of character development. Between the premiere and the end of this first arc, many of the characters have gone through significant growth that often takes other comics years to accomplish.

Review: Casanova: Acedia #1

I’ve been having more and more conversations recently about comics with people who don’t read comics. What strikes me about these conversations isn’t what the other person typically says about comics (they’re for children, they’re sexists, they’re not as literary as other mediums), but my response to these people. Often, I’ll point to certain comics I have in my literary holster, and make some argument about how they function as high art (See me talking about Jimmy Corrigan and page layout, Ant Colony and existentialism, All-Star Superman and myth, etc.).

Review: The Unwritten: Apocalypse #12

I hope someday I’m smart enough to love Unwritten: Apocalypse. Perhaps it’ll happen if I ever get around to reading all the literary texts and theory that it alludes to, as well as the bulk of the preceding main comic, which has been on my to-read list since finishing volume two and recognizing that someday I’d want to have the series in beautiful leather-bound hardcovers ala Ron Burgundy, and “Eww, do I hate these cheaply made trades.”

Review: They’re Not Like Us #2

Let me just out myself first. I really like Eric Stephenson. When Nowhere Men was all that anyone seemed to talk about (anyone who reads comics as often as I do, at least), I said “Nu-uh, ain’t gonna fall for the hype” and reread Y: The Last Man for the fifth time instead.

Review: Sex #19

Saturn City has become a war zone to the highest degree. Violence and destruction are everywhere. The criminals are taking over and battling for control of the city. Regular folks are being pushed aside and the baddies are putting in their cards for a winner take all pot.
