Review: Resurrectionists #3

With issue three, Resurrectionists is starting to get very interesting. After my confidence in the series had a small wobble after the second issue, I’m happy to say I’m now backing this book once again. The third installment sees some interesting plot developments, some good action scenes, and some nice reveals – although I do feel that the series is still a little too mysterious for its own good at times. Even still, this is an independent title that is shaping up very solidly indeed, and one that is definitely worth your time and money.

Review: Robocop #7

Issue seven continues on the main story and this time Robocop is filled with a slew in improvements. The issues starts off with Killian’s thugs attacking a van in which they were told had OCP inventory that they could steal for their group. The thugs successfully take down the van, but when they open up the van out comes Robocop kicking one of the thugs and his head popping up like a football being punted in the air.

Review: Adventure Time: Marceline Gone Adrift #1

Marceline Gone Adrift is the latest title in the Adventure Time line from Boom’s Kaboom! imprint, which I assume is another mini-series filling the slot left by the end of the Banana Guard Academy last month. Where that mini seemed very plot and situation-oriented, this one has the feeling of a more personal Marceline story, something more along the lines of Seeing Red, and the Adventure Time property really shines when they focus on character and growth.

Review: Rat Queens Special: Braga #1

If there was ever a doubt about just how fleshed out the world of Rat Queens really was, look no further than this issue. Braga really popped off in issue four of the big battle of the first arc, but I’ll be honest… I kind of forgot about her. Kurtis J. Wiebe didn’t, in fact he wrote an entire history for the character which is basically what this issue is.

Review: Royal Blood

The new graphic novel by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Dongzi Liu is a challenging hybrid of beauty and foulness that combines the fun loving happiness of King Lear with the knee-slapping hilarity of Titus Andronicus. But to merely discount it as an exercise in aggressively nihilistic storytelling is to miss it’s true goal as a hate-filled indictment of women, being a woman, or not murdering and raping women as often as possible.

Review: Thomas Alsop #8

Usually when an issue of Thomas Alsop releases I save it for last or damn near last in my pile. It tends to release at the same time as several other titles high on my list of “must reads.” This week though Thomas Alsop was the first thing I read. Hell if you had offered it to me last week at the cost of my arm… well I would be typing this review with one hand and maybe having some remorse about not just waiting a week… not much, but some remorse.

Review: The Shadow – Death Factory

I’ve only reviewed one other Shadow book for this site, and I remember enjoying it quite a bit. I can’t say I enjoyed this 2014 (yes, 2014) Special One-Shot as much as that one which featured Harry Houdini, but I’m sure there’s some enjoyment to be had here for longtime fans of the series.

Review: Wild’s End #5

Wild’s End is one of those comics that you want to become a regular series, but then the whole thing is just working so perfectly well as a mini- series that you don’t want to spoil it. To think that next month is the end of this comic just plain sucks. The comic rocks but this sucks.

Eternal Warrior: Days of Steel #3

I for one am very happy this mini-series is over. While the first chapter felt weak, I was initially interested in what Peter Milligan’s take on the Eternal Warrior would be. With issue two my interest was stunted, and after reading this concluding chapter I find myself questioning many things. What was the point of this series? How did this abysmal book find its way into Valiant’s otherwise excellent line-up? I can’t hope to find answers to these questions, so instead I’ll find my closure by simply spreading the message that this book is quite frankly a waste of time and money.

Review: Supreme Blue Rose #6

Supreme Blue Rose #6 encapsulates perfectly everything I’ve enjoyed so much about this series from day one, while at the same time being some of the best slow-burn meta-fiction I’ve read in the past decade. This book is basically Warren Ellis doing a Morrison’s Animal Man-style treatment of an analogous Captain Marvel (Shazam) family of characters; or, if you like, it’s Ellis at his most Ellis. And it’s pretty fucking great.

Review: X #21

X has consistently been one of my favorite books each month for over a year now. Although this issue features a re-hashed character much like Dr. Heide in the last story arc, the set-up for the rest of this arc is nothing short of intense.

Review: Teen Dog #5

Teen Dog is very stoic with the cover this month. The black and white cover with the guitar really gives it this “yeah I don’t care what you think, caz I am in deep thought.” Teen Dog’s deep thoughts are probably about pizza, but yay I have some pretty deep thoughts about pizza myself. So it was a change from what I am used to, but I dug it of course. And there was one moment that Teen Dog actually didn’t think about pizza in this issue, so spoilers ahead.
