Review: Big Trouble In Little China #8
This is one of the few comics I've been eagerly anticipating each issue. I've been spreading the good word about every issue and how much I love the movie. This is the first one to leave me going kind of meh!
Review: Weekly Shonen Jump #9
This week's 200+ page "mega issue" of Jump does not disappoint.
Review: Doberman #5
Although I’ve seen a lot of harsh criticism for Doberman, I’ve continued to enjoy it for what it is. I think people who don’t enjoy it take the comic, and themselves, too seriously. This book isn’t trying to re-invent the wheel by any means but delivers on action and comedy which it sets out to do.
Review: Graveyard Shift #2
I was really impressed by the first issue of Graveyard Shift, and couldn’t wait to see where this story would go next. While I didn’t find issue two quite as impressive as the first instalment, I still think that this is definitely a series that’s worth your time.
Review: Captain Midnight #19
It’s come down to this. After receiving great professional and personal loss, Jim Albright (aka Captain Midnight) finds himself fighting for his life (as well as the whole world) against his once best friend and former partner Chuck Ramsey. This is the big battle that has been building for a while and it is the wrap up arc before the final one of the series.
Review: Outcast Vol. 1 - A Darkness Surrounds Him
Outcast is a series I was reluctant to start purely because of how disillusioned I’ve become with Kirkman’s The Walking Dead. While it continually impresses me that he can keep the universe of the comic and the universe of the show separate in his head and write for both, after a while it grew stagnant for me; they find a new place to live, someone in that place rapes or kills someone in Rick’s group, they have to fight, they have to leave, repeat until Rick finally bites it possibly never.
Review: Bitch Planet #2
So, my review of Bitch Planet #1 got some heat. And I kind of expected that; I mean, calling bullshit on a beloved creator’s magnum opus isn’t the best or quickest way to gain internet popularity. What I will not abide, however, are the few voices that called it sexist.
Review: Quantum & Woody Must Die #1
I’ve heard a lot about Quantum and Woody but haven’t ever gotten the chance to check it out until I saw they’re having a new miniseries. I can already say from this debut issue that If you’re struggling to find some quality laughs in a comic book, look no further than Quantum and Woody Must Die.
Review: Munchkin #1
When I first read the news of BOOM! Studios having obtained the rights to do a Munchkin comic I was very excited for the franchise. From the first time I started playing this very popular game I could tell that this game had the potential to be a comic book. From the wacky minions you face and the hilarious named gear you obtain after killing a monster; the game felt like a comic.
Review: The Dying & The Dead #1
A friend once told me that, despite what you might hear, Life is not short. It is, in fact, the longest thing you will ever experience. I always found that to be an interesting viewpoint, and, really, an optimistic one. But Life is not so individual an experience - no man being an island, and all that - and its length cannot be measured without a sense of relativity. In a lot of ways, the same could be said about reading Jonathan Hickman.
Review: Princess Ugg #7
This series has been kicking serious ass lately. I missed out on reviewing the last issue, but if I had… high marks to say the least. The thing that’s always so pleasing about Ted Naifeh’s storytelling is that he manages to hook you with a different lure each issue.
Review: Robyn Hood #6
Robyn Hood starts out way different from anything we have ever seen; Marian narrates this issue. I always said that I love this chick and wanted to see more of her story with Robyn’s. Although I did miss Robyn’s sarcastic attitude. Marian doesn’t even come close to giving us as much spice as Robyn does. But all in all, I loved the changed that Pat Shand gave us and feel like he is listening to his readers.
Review: Tomb Raider #12
'The fall of the curtain' marks the end of this current arc. Picking up from last time, Mr. Cruz has made his way to London to track down and kill Lara and Ramile. Lara meanwhile is blowing chunks from the stress of her looming performance (even the return of my favorite Jaffa Cakes don't make her feel better).
Review: Sleepy Hollow #4
In Sleepy Hollow #3, the gang got sucked into a possessed grandfather clock that trapped each person in their own hell. The cursed music kept them possessed, kept them from fighting back. Luckily we’ve got Abbie- she figured out how to get everyone out of their personal hells by targeting the music. All that’s left is Abbie’s own prison.
Review: King: The Phantom #1
In my Flash Gordon #1 review by the same publisher I mentioned the Mount Rushmore of classic pulp heroes (Flash Gordon, Phantom, Doc Savage and The Shadow, if you want to know), Dynamite did pretty well with Flash Gordon so let’s see how they do with The Phantom.
Review: King: Flash Gordon #1
Flash Gordon is an institution. One of the first pulp heroes in existence and along with The Phantom and Doc Savage they are ¾ of the Mount Rushmore of comic hero origins. The Shadow is probably the 4th member of that Mount Rushmore, in case you were curious.
Review: Danger Club #6
There is only one thing to say about the return of Danger Club… it’s one of the prettiest books on the market. It’s been a long journey for the creators to get here and frankly I’m not going to go into it with this review. To cut to the chase this book was worth the wait and if you feel differently then that’s okay, but the rest of us are going to enjoy one hell of a return.
Review: Colder – The Bad Seed #4
For a while now I’ve been behind on this series and after catching up I can only say that I regret that I ever fell behind. The first two issues were good, but they were a bit reminiscent of the first volume of the series. The third issue changed the landscape significantly and this fourth issue continued on the new and fresh course making this one of the best ongoing horror themed stories on the market.
Review: Gantz Vol. 34
The mecha fights in this volume of Gantz are meticulous and kickass, but the story is a complete mess.
