Review: The Girl Who Played With Fire #1

By Justin McCarty

From Titan Comics’ and Hard Case Crime we have the English translation of the most recent comic adaptation for the Millennium Series novels written by Stieg Larsson. This adaptation was written by Sylvain Runberg with art by Manuel Carot Gonzalez. It’s a sequel to The Girl With A Dragon Tattoo published earlier this year, which finishes up this October. With another novel in the series due out this month, Titan may have seen an opportunity to do an English translation of the acclaimed French comics adaptation.

Review: The Black Sable #1

By Dustin Cabeal

It seems that Zenescope’s new formula for books is familiar themes. For The Black Sable, it would be a pirate or in this case a space pirate that gets wrapped up in a big score and a lot of danger. It’s not unfamiliar in the least bit, but it actually presents an interesting story with a creative world.

Review: My Little Pony the Movie Prequel #4

By Ashley Gibbs

Welcome to the last issue in this miniseries, where things certainly end with a bang. Not in an action sense but more in a story sense. I’ve had very lukewarm feelings about this series so far. The last issue was my least favorite of the four but My Little Pony the Movie Prequel #4 somehow pulled out some decent storytelling in the final hour and even made me curious about a character who I previously wrote off as just a bad fan fiction insert.  Granted, I still think Tempest Shadow is edgy for the sake of being edgy, but clearly, with good writing, she can still be interesting. If you’re a fan of that character, pick up this issue for sure, and if you’ve somehow enjoyed the previous three, then this will be a nice way to wrap up the story thus far.

Review: The Fist #4

By Dustin Cabeal

One of the best comics from 2016 returns with its fourth issue, and I have to say; I’m back to loving this series. I will fully admit that I was a little let down by the third issue of The Fist, but the fourth issue is a return to form.

Review: Microcosmics

By Oliver Gerlach

Microcosmics is a collection of short, wordless comics about strange alien worlds and peoples, all written and drawn by the phenomenally talented Christine Larsen. It’s an odd collection of little stories, but one that I was thoroughly saddened to reach the end of. This collection is utterly delightful, and well worth your time and money.

Review: Gently Murder Me

By Dustin Cabeal

Gently Murder Me is one of the most interesting breakup stories I’ve ever read in comic form. There are several short stories that make up the book, and each features a different artist, but all have a unifying style and design.

Review: What is a Glacier?

By Dustin Cabeal

I wanted to check this book out based on the title. It was quirky and strange and seemed like it would be a fun read. The story is actually autobiographical. It follows creator Sophie Yanow’s trip to Iceland.

Review: Darkest Night: Love

By Dustin Cabeal

With any character driven story it’s always the character’s motivations that drive the story and make it worth reading. Darkest Night: Love attempts this, it does try, but in the end, I couldn’t see what the character’s motivations were and found too many of their choices to be lacking any sense of logic.

Review: I Thought YOU Hated Me

By Dustin Cabeal

Lately, I’ve taken to reading a lot of autobiographical comics. Haven’t stumbled across more than a few I enjoy, I was bound to find a few that were just okay. Unfortunately, that’s the case with I Thought YOU Hated Me.

 Review: Oasis #1-8

By Dustin Cabeal

Here’s a little inside baseball for you, when I’m sent more than one issue to review I tend to panic about it. It seems like this impossible task because it’s not some b.s. comic from a publisher or writer I’m familiar with; it’s this unknown quantity, and while that’s exciting, I get sent a lot of stuff I don’t personally care to read. Titles I wouldn’t have picked out to read on my own and so when I see eight issues in my inbox it becomes a commitment of time and effort to get through all eight issues and give them a fair shake regardless of if I would pick them myself.
