Review: Pop #1

Remember how Fifty Shades of Grey started out as some Twilight knockoff? Well after reading the first issue of Pop, I’m pretty confident that Curt Pires’ story had its beginnings as Grant Morrison-era Doom Patrol fan fic, one that shot for the same kooky and compelling narrative style but ends up having more in common with the guy you knew in 10th grade who tried just a little too hard to be weird (that guy was me if you went St. John’s. Class of ’07!).

Review: Transformers vs. G.I. Joe #2

Review: A Haunted House 2

This is a profoundly stupid movie. It is racist, misogynistic, misanthropic, but also incredibly obvious. There apparently was another movie called A Haunted House. This is the second one. Yay.

Review: TMNT - Turtles in Time #3

The concept for Turtles in Time is cool. The Turtles travel to all different places and time periods for a one issue adventure. No doubt that the art is awesome and who would have thought you would see these Turtles in crazy ass places again?

Review: Low #2

I was not the world’s biggest fan of Low #1, and no one will accuse me of loving issue 2, but I do think the series might have launched on a misstep towards finding a groove.

Review: Conan The Avenger #5

Conan the Avenger issue five is one of the most fun issues of the series to date, but not in the traditional sense of the word “fun,” more in the “Conan is finally being a heroic badass and getting over Belit” sense of the word, and that’s a good thing.

Review: Mind MGMT #25

We are getting near the end of Mind MGMT even though we basically have a year left of the series. I know that seems like a ways off, but we all know as comic readers that ends coming quickly and this series will be over and done with before you know it.

Review: Dream Thief: Escape #3

When you review as many books as we do on this site, reading for leisure is something that rarely happens. There are a lot of titles that I want to read, but have fallen behind on because of a lack of time. There are a few titles though that I make sure to read, that I find the time no matter what and Dream Thief is one of them.

Review: Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor #2

There was no bigger surprise last month than Titan Comics’ new adaptation of Doctor Who. Both the Tenth Doctor and the Eleventh Doctor had wonderful debut issues, but could the magic continue?

Review: The 7th Sword #4

7th Sword #4 does a lot of setting up for the issue after it, which is the cardinal sin of a monthly comic book.

Review: The Manhattan Projects #23

Hey, sports fans! It’s me, Steve, reporting from the depths of my beard. Also, I’m in Turkey or something crazy, so I’m using Nick as my mouthpiece, and he is typing what I’m reviewing in a spectrally-induced haze, from which he will awake with no memory, only a vague sense of regret.

Dual Review: Wayward #1

Wayward is a book we’ve been waiting to get our hands on so no surprise that a couple of us want to review it while others just wanted to read it. That said our newest writer Andrè is joining Dustin for a dual review on the issue.

Review: And Then Emily Was Gone #2

Let me just say how happy I am that I reviewed the second issue separate from the first. I’ll be honest my fear for this issue was whether or not it would be able to capture the same tone and strangeness of the first issue. It’s easy to start weird, but it’s something else to continue to be weird. Thankfully the second issue of And Then Emily Was Gone not only captured the same tone as the first issue, but it outshined it on many levels.
