Review: Groo: Friends and Foes #3
This month our pals Groo and canine companion Rufferto travel into some more danger in the form of an eerie illusion set up by witches Arba and Dakarba.
Review: Secret Identities #2
Secret Identities #2 gives us a bit more of the team dynamic. There’s some shady business that one of the members might be involved in. Mostly I’m still trying to keep track of how many members are on this team. Six? We just don’t know.
Review: Giant Days #1
I have been dying to read Giant Days. Every time BOOM! sends me anything about it I re-read and double check everything to gobble up all the details I can. Well I’ve read it and it was everything I wanted and more. I was not disappointed and I doubt you will be either.
Review: Robyn Hood #8
Well let’s just get right to it. Avella is back! I think we all knew that when Robyn and Marian left Myst, they hadn’t really left Myst. Things would carry over with these two. I have always loved Myst and the stories that Pat Shand created there, but I have to flip flop and recant that.
Review: Rocket Salvage #4
Rocket Salvage is a series I’ve been meaning to jump on and talk about for a couple of months now. First though, I love monthly Archaia issues. I’ve been reading Archaia long enough to remember when everything was monthly then collected in their amazing hardcovers and trades.
Review: Princess Ugg #8
Princess Ugg has been a very consistent series. I know that’s really nothing to brag about, but it kind of is. So often in comics writers/creators only create with a certain number of issues in mind. You can’t judge the market and so you never know how long you’ll have to tell your story.
Review: Lumberjanes #12
Lumberjanes #12 finds Mal and Molly weeks into their alternate dimension adventure. Meanwhile, it’s only been a few hours in the “real” timeline, and April is still on a mission to earn a badge. Any badge. Really, she’s desperate.
Review: Ivar, Timewalker #3
Three issues in and I simply cannot get enough of this series. Ivar, Timewalker is truly exceptional, and is not only one of the best Valiant titles I’ve ever read but also just one of the best titles I’m reading right now full stop.
Review: Zombie Tramp #9
Well this is more like it. Not only do we still have the dangling thread from the last issue of Zombie Tramp still in play, but we’re introduced to more than one conflict and neither seem like an easy fix. I was definitely hard on the last story arc of Zombie Tramp, but already we’re off to a better start.
Review: Ei8ht #2
Ei8ht #2 is a great example of a beaten-to-death concept being resurrected with a fresh point of view into something inherently new, something with a new way of doing things in an old vein.
Review: Invisible Republic #1
Since I reviewed Gabriel Hardman’s Kinski last fall, I’ve been anxious to see what he does next. Kinski was a story with a strong authorial voice and visual sense, the narrative just went a little further afield than I was expecting from such a slim book.
Review: Orphan Black #2
Well this is more like it. Last time I bemoaned the fact that, as a fan of the show, there was nothing extra in it. This time there is and the comic is so much better for it.
Review: The Manhattan Projects: The Sun Beyond the Stars #1
When it comes to reading Jonathan Hickman, it often behooves you to limber up. I don’t mean that physically (although studies have shown that light calisthenics dramatically increase personal health during daily activities); but rather, mentally ... or emotionally?
Review: The Fly: Outbreak #1
This is certainly an interesting first issue. Other than one seemingly random bondage scene that I couldn’t really figure a place for it was straight forward unlike IDW’s other offering I read this week: Millennium. After reading Millennium I’m hyper aware of IDW’s storytelling and I desperately want it to make sense. This does make sense so it gets credit for that.
Review: Red One #1
Wow. If someone came up to me and said, show me a comic book by established masters that is a complete mess, I would smile knowingly and say, “You, sir or madam, are in luck, as I have just the thing,” and I would pull out a pristine copy of Red One #1, hand it to them, and wink.
Review: Altered States: Doc Savage #1
Altered States once again proves itself as having the least realized potential of possibly any book on the shelf.
Review: Borderlands #7
I really don't know what to expect when I open this comic. That goes for all the elements. I don't know if the jokes are going to be funny. I don't know what the story is going to involve. I don't know what the general quality will be.
Review: Weekly Shonen Jump #16
I miss all the Jump Start series, and there was no One Piece this week, so the issue felt a little empty. But it's hard to complain after getting nearly 1000 pages in the past few weeks, and a lot of these manga are performing well.
Review: Vacancy
Vacancy is one of those books that you don’t want to tell people what it’s about, but ultimately you have to in order to get them to read it. That’s where we are with this review.
