Review: Escape From New York #4

To say that this series is bad is an understatement. It went from milking cool moments from the movie and turning them into cheap jokes, to delivering a story that is so hollow and unoriginal that as a reader I no longer wanted to explore this world.

Review: Southern Cross #1

You are invited to partake in a journey to the Saturn moon of Titan courtesy of The Southern Cross, a super charged tanker with some slight conversions to accommodate for tourists and the like when it's not too busy moving its bubbling crude off of the moon.

Review: King: Flash Gordon #2

Issue 2 does not live up to the promise of issue 1. The potential existed in issue 1 of a really great storyline that got cut short. This is what it got cut short for. Don’t get me wrong it’s an entirely serviceable issue. It kept me interested in the setting and the characters for another month but there’s just not a lot of meat on these bones.

Review: 2000 AD – Prog 1921

"Dark Justice" is over. As much as I praised Staples' artwork, I found this arc of Dredd, for the most part, to be disappointing. I wanted to see this arc explore more of the concepts involved with this spaceship and its society.

Review: Hellbreak #1

The first time I ever read anything by Cullen Bunn it was The Damned from Oni Press. The second time I read anything from Cullen Bunn was The Damned: Prodigal Sons and then The Sixth Gun. Hang tight I’m going somewhere with this. Since then Bunn has gone on to write a lot of comics for the big two and everyone in-between, but the place that he always feels most at home is Oni Press.

Review: Dead Letters #8

For those of us just joining us on the Dead Letters train, things are certainly getting going with a bang, aren’t they? That’s just the way I like it, and Chris Sebela and Chris Visions waste no time digging into this next chapter of their noirish tale of Purgatory.

Review: Unity #16 (Valiant)

This arc is starting to reveal itself more with this issue and I’m cool with that. I absolutely loved Unity #15 and the way it focused on Ninjak. Unity #16 continues that course with nearly the same opening, but the difference being that we follow the Eternal Warrior as the trio part this time around.

Review: Headspace #7

Everything comes to a head in this newest installment with Headspace. It definitely felt like the comic was taking us on an intensity trip through Carpenter Cove with our last issue.

Review: Ninjak #1 (Valiant)

If you’re reading anything from Valiant then you’ve likely been looking forward to Ninjak #1. Hell I’ve been waiting for it since it was announced last year at NYCC and after talking to Matt Kindt. To say that he likes this character is an understatement and to say that the work he’s doing with the character is “great” is also an understatement.

Review: The Surface #1

So, I just finished recording Episode 175 of the Comic Bastards CBMFP, and I think I may have come off as a little harsh on Ales Kot and Langdon Foss’ new Image book, The Surface. Okay, maybe a lotta harsh.

Review: Altered States: Red Sonja #1

This is far worse than Altered States: Vampirella. Vampirella had a good concept that was handicapped by its short length. There’s just not a whole going on here. There’s so little going on here that there isn’t a lot to say about it.

Review: East of West #18

Goddammit. Every time I say I’m going to stop reviewing Jonathan Hickman’s Image series East of West, it pulls me back in again, like the mob. Or heroin. Indeed, it seems to know just how to tap into and rile up my addiction to great comics.
