Review: The Curse of Brimstone #3

By Garrett Hanneken

Action-packed comics can be a fun thing. They remind us why superhero stories are told through comics. We are able to read the dialogue between the hero and the villain while watch them fight it out through the panels. The latest issue of The Curse of Brimstone delivers on the action, but it doesn’t quite deliver on the fun.

Review: Justice League #1

By Kelly Gaines

It’s hard to explain how excited I am to see my favorite version of the Justice League launching in a new comic. The animated Justice League of the early 2000’s is the show responsible for sealing my interest in superheroes and giving me the push I needed to venture into the intimidating world of reading comics. In short- I’m in love with this team. It’s probably going to take me a few rereads to clear the tears out of my eyes and get harshly critical, but for now, I’m excited and throwing blind faith into these characters- more so than the creative team. And let’s be fair, they’ve got an all-star lineup, but in comics that doesn’t mean it’ll be any good.

Review: The Man of Steel #2

By Garrett Hanneken

By the second or third issue of a comic, fans should get a feel as to whether they want to continue buying the series. This is even truer when it comes to a mini-series since fans will decide fast if they want to drop the comic because if it doesn’t grab their attention quickly, then there is little hope that it will later. So, is The Man of Steel #2 worth reading?

Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #83

By Damien Becton

The previous issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles excelled in the comedy department, featuring a hilarious fight between the Turtles and group of frogs. Although it was a good issue, one of the things that it lacked was a bit of action to replace some of the filler scenes. TMNT #83 is the exact opposite - heavy on the action and lacking some of the comedy beats that made the previous issue so worthwhile. With that being said, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #83 is another solid entry into the TMNT universe.

Review: Portal Bound #3

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #3 or Portal Bound is titled Riley Questionable Judgment, and based on what little we know of each of the characters this seems like a very fitting title. The last we saw of our cast they were being attacked by a mercenary and his hounds, only to reveal that he was the alternate for Brett. Talk about a coincidence, right?

Review: The Ballad of Halo Jones Vol. 1

By Dan Traeger

So, Halo Jones...yeah. Is there really anything new to say about her? She’s like that girl you used to date a hundred years ago and you keep running into her at the gas n’ sip often enough where it seems like it could be a coincidence but maybe not. Then you find out she’s friended to a bunch of your friends online, and you suddenly realize she’s been Facebook stalking you for a few years and the whole thing is just kinda creepy. It’s not like Fatal Attraction, boil the kids pet rabbit creepy or anything but you can see it from there. I’ve read buckets of reviews on The Ballad of Halo Jones over the years and they all boil down to the same keywords, fluffy pet bunny not included: amazing, groundbreaking, cult classic… blah, blah, blah.

Review: Scales and Scoundrels #10

By Cat Wyatt

It’s likely that at some point during the last nine issues of Scales + Scoundrels you found yourself wondering about Luv, her history, and how she ended up being a dragon without a hoard. Issue #10 of Scales + Scoundrels deviates from the storytelling style of the last few issues just long enough to give us some long-awaited answers.

Review: Green Lanterns #48

By Cat Wyatt

With the way things have been going for Jess lately, it’s no surprise that fans have been anxiously waiting for Green Lanterns #48. This issue is titled Rebel Run and it’s a disturbingly accurate title for this issue. As you can clearly see on the cover, Hal has arrived and is looking to arrest none other than Jessica Cruz. We can only guess as to why…perhaps it has something to do with his wanting to take her ring in the last issue?

By Damien Becton

Rick Remender has built a name as one of the comic book industry’s most recognizable and consistent writers. He’s had stints with the biggest publishers, including taking on the writing duties of characters like Marvel’s Captain America and DC”s Booster Gold. He has a reputation for creating some of the weirdest, but most intriguing and entertaining comic books on the stands today. With the second issue of Death or Glory, Mr. Remender protects the reputation that he’s established throughout the years with a story that continues to get even stranger and increasingly immersive.

Review: Batman #48

By Cat Wyatt

It’s almost time for the wedding, so naturally many of the issues being released around this time are running off of that theme. Batman #48 is titled the Best Man, but in truth, it’s a pretty warped idea of the concept. It looks like it’s going to be a multi-issue story though so that things could get pretty interesting here.
