Review: Savage Dragon #202
All right, I am sick and tired of the “Malcolm gets laid a lot” story arc. I understand that writer/artist Erik Larsen is working to establish Malcolm as a young hero who is trying to figure out who he is and what he wants to be. Dealing with life issues has been a strong point with the new direction of The Savage Dragon and has been one of the things that has made it worth reading.

Review: Drifter #4
Every time I sit down to review a book I flip back through or at the very least keep the cover up in front of me. It helps me to see what it is I’m writing about. With Drifter I always end up reading the issue again. On one hand that says everything you need to know about the book that it easily sucks you in and reading it a second time always brings up something new.

Review: Dark Horse Presents #7 / #200
Acclaimed Irish author and playwright, William Trevor, once noted that short stories are “the distillation of an essence.” I always liked the idea; that the narrative could be extracted as concentrate, and served like a potion, complete with an eye dropper and a little puff of smoke as the pungent bursts of storytelling unleash their flavor.

Review: Lumberjanes #11
This might be my favorite issue of Lumberjanes so far. Mal and Molly are trapped with the bearwoman in another dimension; meanwhile, Jo, Ripley, and April attempt to earn badges.

Review: 2000 AD - Prog 1918
Two new series in the Prog's pages this week: one looks really promising, the other is sort of a mess.

Review: Legenderry: Green Hornet #1
I want to start by asking you to think about one thing. While I ramble on about everything else I want you to keep this going in the back of your head. Electric Penny-farthing bicycle.

Review: Bitch Planet #3
I want to like Bitch Planet so much. I want to see in it what other folks do. But as important as it is to have a comic book that addresses antiestablishmentarianism through a feminist lens, I can’t help but see it as a watered-down, hyped-up oversell.

Review: Sparks Nevada: Marshal on Mars #1
Sparks Nevada: Marshal on Mars #1 is the most recent example of a strange beast, one that shouldn’t necessarily be a comic, but comics are kind of popular right now, so why not? Based on an ongoing story from the Thrilling Adventure Hour radio/podcast program, it’s a number 1 issue with a number 0 issue as a back-up, and a lot of the dialogue involves plays on words and soundalikes that are the bread-and-butter of radio and don’t play well in print. It’s pretty messy.

Review: Groo: Friends and Foes #2
Ever since I read the first issue of Groo: Friends and Foes, I’ve been looking forward to get back into the charming adventures of him and his trusty canine companion Rufferto. This month Groo is among a friend-to an extent-in his Granny Groo.

Review: The Valiant #3
The penultimate issue of The Valiant is here, and shit is really starting to hit the proverbial fan. For all that I generally didn’t have an interest in the Valiant Universe before this series, and I’ve reviewed some titles that I’ve less-than-loved on this site, each issue of The Valiant makes me want to pick up a new title from the company, just to see what it’s all about.
