Fear Agent’s fifth volume, I Against I, is the most classically sci-fi story arc of the whole series, even including the fact that it takes place in what’s basically the Old West. This story basically boils down to an episode of Star Trek that was ballsy enough to have swearing and sex, an episode of The Prisoner that’s not so self-satisfied, and the entire series of Rawhide.
Read MoreReview: The Manhattan Projects #22
I’m not sure what to make of The Manhattan Projects #22. Like, literally, I don’t really get what’s going on in it, not because I don’t understand it (that would be a cop-out), but because it’s rushed, unfinished and without its usual substantial narrative meat.
Read MoreReview: Veil #4
Veil has quickly become one of my favorite reads each month, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t bummed out that next month marks the release of the final issue. That said, this penultimate entry into the series really kicks things up a notch in intrigue and action which will leave you hanging on for dear life until next month when we get the resolution.
Read MoreReview: Fatale #24
Nothing could have ruined this series for me, but Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips ended one of my favorite comics beautifully. Any reader knows how special this comic has been and to say good-bye is bittersweet. When first opening this comic, I had no idea where it was taking me but the layout and storytelling was too good to pass up.
Read MoreReview: Emily and the Strangers: Breaking The Record #2
Emily and the Strangers: Breaking the Record issue two picks up right where we left off last month. To recap the gang had an unnerving visit with their potential record label and things are looking pretty shady. Especially, with all the stray cats following them around which makes Emily very suspicious.
Read MoreReview: East of West #14
When I finished reading this latest issue of Jonathan Hickman and Nick Dragotta’s Image series, East of West, I decided then and there that it was high time I stop reviewing it. Now, this is not because I don’t love it, because I really, really do; maybe even more than I should, like a tall glass of scotch or that RealDoll I ... bought for a friend ... seven years ago. But despite the writhing narrative twists this book continues to take on the monthly, I feel like I’m running out of ways to express how good it is, and wondering whether I’m just shouting into a well, metaphorically speaking.
Read MoreReview: Grimm Tales of Terror #1
In Henry James Turn of the Screw fashion we have a story told to a psychiatrist being retold by a woman relating the events to a man pausing from arranging a funeral. I don’t quite understand why we would need so many steps to this narrative, but since this is a premiere issue, I am willing to abide.
Read MoreReview: Deep Gravity #1
New sci-fi properties can be difficult to craft. There are so many well-known properties that when a new IP roles around it’s almost instantly compared to its predecessors. It’s difficult to tell a new story when you’re constantly being compared in such a way. The only way to avoid this is to do something different. Unfortunately, Deep Gravity, didn’t do enough differently.
Read MoreReview: Low #1
Remender and Tocchini are back at it with their second collaboration, and the third book Remender has launched at Image alone in the last year. Remender is a big proponent of sci-fi, so it should come as a surprise to nobody that his and Tocchini’s new book, Low, exists in a timeline many thousands of years in the future, living under the ocean and trying to shoot for space.
Read MoreReview: Danger Girl - Mayday #3
After The Chase, I have missed that story and wanted so badly to continue with Abbey and her team. Bringing in some new girls, I was apprehensive to say the least. Mayday has proved to set up some good storylines, but can it hold out long enough to make a good story?

Stephen Chow’s previous films, Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle, are both over the top cartoons that happen to be set in the real world. They use a multitude of pop culture references both from Chow’s native China and from sources all over the world. But even with so many disparate elements Chow keeps them focused and tight, never sacrificing story for effects or comedy.

This past Sunday Bungie shut down its Destiny Beta. What’s Destiny you say, well basically its Bungie’s biggest foray into video games that is not Halo--their 13-year-old classic Sci-Fi console shooter that made the company a pillar in the video game word and has casted a very long shadow over the company. I played the beta for Destiny for the X-Box One and here are some thoughts about my experience.

Read MoreReview: Armor Hunters: Bloodshot #1
Bloodshot to save the earth? At least part of it. I swear he keeps coming back for punishment to work for an organization instead of running solo, but again he is a super soldier almost a mercenary type. He is the perfect character to bring against the Armor Hunters because what he can bring to the table.
