Review: Kill or Be Killed #19
By Ben Snyder
Although, I have been an avid fan of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’s Kill or Be Killed so far, there hasn’t quite been an issue that left me saying “what?” until this chapter. Kill or Be Killed #19 obviously signals the eventual series ending with a final page that will leave readers feeling and saying similarly, but it shouldn’t detract or distract from a thoroughly intense albeit dialogue heavy chapter. If there’s one complaint to Ed Brubaker’s style is that he can be a bit too dialogue-heavy and that is very prevalent in this chapter. Despite this, I think teamed up with Sean Phillips and Elizabeth Breitweiser, this complaint is soothed a bit, as each cog works together harmoniously to produce another solid issue of Kill or Be Killed.
Review: Judge Dredd: Under Siege #1
By Noel Thorne
I’m not gonna lie to you - I’ve read this comic twice now, and I’m still not 100% on the plot nuances. Mutants have taken over a city block, or gangs have, and they’re holding a judge hostage…? It doesn’t matter - the basic premise is Dredd and a female Judge have to shoot their way up a city block. Just like the last Dredd movie! Where do writers get their ideas?!
Review: Raven: Daughter of Darkness #5
By Kelly Gaines
Raven Daughter of Darkness #5 feels like the grand finale of a confusing twister of plot and character- except the story’s not over, and there’s no Bill Paxton or Helen Hunt to be found. If you’re committed to this title, buckle up for the excitement of demonology meets power rangers meets wizard book club meets true crime in the making. It’s a mixed bag in the absolute worst way and only becomes more disappointing as the dust settles.
Review: Jeepers Creepers #2
By Damien Becton
As a ten-year-old kid, Jeepers Creepers, the movie, was an absolutely terrifying experience for me. Watching The Creeper toss bodies wrapped in blood-soaked blankets down a well and stare at the two main characters of the movie as they drove down the road is still burned into my memory - along with a haunting, but catchy tune, “Jeepers, Creepers, where’d ya get those peepers? Jeepers, Creepers, where’d ya get those eyes?!” As I got older and wiser, and I (almost) grew out of my fear for The Creeper, the movie became my favorite horror film of all-time because of its terrifying antagonist, cheap-looking, but charming, practical effects, and its’ haunting scenes. With that being said, I read this book with my all of my biases turned 100 and enjoyed the hell out of it. If you’re a fan of this scary character, then you’ll probably think this book is as awesome as I did but if not...well, find something else.
Review: Shanghai Red #1
By Sam King
A ship, a mutiny, and a secret: the ingredients tossed together to make up the first issue of Image Comics’ Shanghai Red. A story of a girl out for vengeance, masquerading as a man, trying to get back the life that was taken from her. Where it will go next, who knows? If Red succeeds, we will see. This is a pretty good time though, that’s for sure.
Review: Batgirl #23
By Cat Wyatt
Issue #23 of Batgirl brings us the conclusion to the Strange Loop plotline. In the last issue, we learned that Batgirl was trapped in a series of scenarios occurring inside her own head and if she didn’t figure out a way to free herself things would go very poorly for her.
Review: Zinnober #1
By Sam King
Zinnober #1 sets up a strong direction for the story and provides enough character development to give readers a good latch on the mains. The art is good, and the story has a lot of promise. Giant dragons in modern times? What could be better?
Zinnober opens up with a young woman and a man on top of a roof with guns, eyeing a dog tied to a post. The girl wants to save it; the older man says it is a trap. She doesn’t listen, and it turns out to be a trap, but the trap goes sour as a dragon appears and starts laying waste to everyone it sees. The man and girl escape with one other guy and go into the old subway tunnels where they find that dragons may not be their only concern when it comes to survival.
Review: Hollow Monsters #1
By Kelly Gaines
I have to admit that Hollow Monsters #1 went a bit over my head. It’s a non-linear narrative describing both ordinary and foreboding events in the life of a boy named Jay. We see Jay at pivotal moments ranging from early childhood to his adult life as a struggling comic book creator. Jay is a likable enough character, and there is obvious talent in the creative process, but I found myself far more bewildered than impressed by the end of this first issue. I try to stay away from commenting on the creator’s opinion of their own work in my reviews (i.e., the morals they aim to teach and goals they’ve set for a specific work). It feels more honest to present my readers with my own interpretations of what’s given on the page. A review should be a cut and dry critique of the finished issue. Hollow Monsters has presented me an odd exception.
Review: Days of Hate #5
By Ben Snyder
Although a mostly quiet chapter, Days of Hate #5 is a stellar addition to an amazing comic. It’s a quiet chapter simply because there are so few actual words spoken, but boy does it end with a literal bang. It all centers on Huang’s decision to reveal Amanda’s location to Freeman. And having it all focus on each of their actions spoke larger volumes about their character than any amount of dialogue could have. Aleš Kot and Danijel Žeželj continue to produce Eisner-worthy content at a steady rate with Days of Hate. Couple that with Jordie Bellaire’s harrowing colors and you have what is shaping to be a classic.
Review: The Terrifics #4
By Garrett Hanneken
Space travel mixed with an attack by a giant squid, The Terrifics must work together if they want to reach their destination. With that said, the team is still getting their footing, and the same can be said for the script.
