Review: Unity #17

I’ve been looking forward to this issue because of all the role players on the Unity team, Livewire is the one that puzzles me the most. With Livewire I’ve never gotten the impression that she was indispensable like the other characters.

Review: Archie vs. Predator #1

Can we all just pause for a moment and bask in the glory of the age we live in? Its 2015, cars still suck, jetpacks are impractical and I’m tired of hearing about hoverboards, but do you know what we do have? Archie vs. Predator.

Group Review: The Fox #1

The Fox returns as part of Archie’s new imprint Dark Circle Comics. We have a few reviews on the site of the first series so we figured why not give this a group review and see what a couple of the writer’s on Comic Bastards thought of The Fox #1.

Oh man… this series is too fucking good.

Review: 2000 AD - Prog 1926

Let's talk about Henry Flint, current artist on the Dredd story "Enceladus: New Life." If I'm going to praise an artist putting together sequential, narrative art, then I'm going to praise her or him on the basis of a few things beyond whether their artwork simply looks good.

Review: Shaper #2

I may not have been (nor am I still) particularly grabbed by its title, but in its first issue, Shaper fairly quickly sold me on its Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Superpower premise, with some jumpily-paced, but altogether fun storytelling and pretty spectacular art.

Review: Giant Days #2

Our girls have settled into university pretty well, but now they’ve got a new challenge to tackle: the flu. It’s spreading like wildfire and there’s no stopping it, not even Esther’s supposedly invincible immune system.

Review: Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #2

Well it’s been a bit since we last saw this series which was actually the first time as well.

Review: Nutmeg #1

The pitch for this comic is great. A crime saga can be good enough within itself, but to have it be with middle school kids and then these kids be mini bakers makes the pitch that much more fun.

Review: RunLoveKill #1

I think readers are going to need more than one issue to really sink their teeth into this world, so let's just launch right into what immediately struck me about the first issue of RunLoveKill other than the simultaneously awesome and terrible title of the series.

Review: Aquila #1

This is the first of five in a mini-series about a gladiator who is bestowed an unnatural ability. As soon as I read the first page I was sucked in. The first panel tells us about our main character, who was a gladiator in Spartacus's army (awesome and I'm in). Aquila is an anti-hero, could you have a gladiator thrown into a war any other way?

Review: Capture Creatures #3

I picked up Capture Creatures #3 because I wanted something cute and the title screamed cute. I was not disappointed, this comic is adora-bubble. All of the creatures are well drawn and beautifully colored. No surprise (I kind of guessed again from the title) that it's very similar to Pokémon.

Review: The Fade Out #5

Damn, it’s been awhile since The Fade Out. Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips have been some busy men recently.

Review: The Strain: The Night Eternal #8

Poor Eph. The good doctor just can’t buy a break at all. For one, his son is in the captivity of the Master, still living, but being used simply to torture poor E.

Review: Toe Tag Riot #4

Toe Tag Riot #4 closes out the series this week and it’s a satisfying conclusion. I’m starting with that because there have been five or six other series that have ended this month and it’s been hit or miss… mostly misses.

Review: Spread Vol. 1 – No Hope

Spread Vol. 1 collects the first 6 issues of the comic. When read individually month-to-month some of the elements feel a little shaky.

Review: Bee and Puppycat Vol. 1

Bee and Puppycat follows an unemployed twenty-something and her pet/sidekick/friend Puppycat as they work magical temp jobs, take naps, create the perfect sandwich, and generally lounge about. Each issue is a self-contained story, and there are various artists at work here.

Review: Behemoth #1

It’s been a while since there was a new series from MonkeyBrain Comics, but it’s been even longer since one really grabbed my attention with its imagery. Don’t get me wrong, the range of art is one of the things that’s great about MonkeyBrain, but there’s no denying that Behemoth #1 stands out from the crowd.

Review: Howard the Duck #2

This month isn’t as good as last months. I thought last issue told a pretty coherent story and then layered that story with a bunch of in-jokes, sight gags and comedy references whereas this issue is just a series of events, but with humor throughout.
