Review: Weekly Shonen Jump #17
This week’s Jump includes a preview of Tokyo Ghoul ahead of its English release, a highlight to an otherwise average week.
Review: Wytches #5
In the tradition of all great horror, Wytches refuses to answer a lot of the questions it poses right away, sometimes not even in the same issue.
Review: King: Jungle Jim #2
Jungle Jim fuels my love of the Pulpy-verse once more! Is Pulpy-verse catching on by the way? It is kind of goofy. Maybe ‘Kings-land’ is cooler? I still like Pulpy-verse, there’s just something about it but it needs to be called something.
Review: Drifter #5
JULY! Ugh… actually my first thought when I read that Drifter wouldn’t be returning until July was “Fuck me that’s a ways off.” Now I’m actually okay with it because if I’m honest there’s no way I won’t be back for the sixth issue.
Review: Hit: 1957 #1
My favorite miniseries of 2013 Hit is back with another installment in Hit: 1957. If you’re a fan of gritty, intelligent noir stories with stunning art then-well, first I highly encourage picking up the trade (which is known as Hit: 1955), and then pick up Hit: 1957 #1 when it hits shelves.
Review: We Can Never Go Home #1
We Can Never Go Home #1 has everything going for it on the hype train. Catchy title, I mean very catchy title; great art, great cover designs, character diversity and high school. I know that last one seems strange, but think about it. How many stories take place in high school? Lots and it works so no complaints here.
Review: 2000 AD - Prog 1923
Despite the lack of my darling Ritterstahl and the rest of The Order, Prog 1923 was a great all-around issue.
Review: Miami Vice: Remix #1
I’m a Jim Mahfood guy. I like his comics and while his stories don’t always go somewhere, I enjoy his art and style enough to stick around and always check out what he has going on.
Review: Past Aways #1
Comic books about dysfunctional family units lost in the mire of space-time seem to be all the rage these days. Tracing a lineage from comics like Challengers of the Unknown, or even novels like 1924’s The Land that Time Forgot, the conceit behind modern titles such as Black Science, or more recently Chrononauts, has become de rigueur in the indies.
Dual Review: Jem and The Holograms #1
Jem and The Holograms is about an all-female rock quartet, based on the 80’s cartoon of the same name.
Review: The Goon #51
This is a pretty dense issue all things considered. The story builds a little on the previous issue but the narrative framing device uses The Island of Dr. Moreau to provide parallels between the characters in the book and the emotional state of Goon.
Review: The Valiant #4
And here it is. The home run at the end of The Valiant. In what is essentially the first big-budget/summer-crossover kind of thing the Valiant has attempted on this scale (or at least with this much A-List talent), they either had to knock it out of the park, or strike out entirely.
Review: Rumble #4
Even though Rumble wasn’t exactly what I wanted last month, I still like this comic. I did find the overarching story to be bland, but with so many cool characters, I couldn’t just drop it. Plus I guess a lot of stories overarching plot isn’t anything new. Either way, Rumble has some good things to offer.
Review: Snake Eyes: Agent of Cobra #3
Oh, you’re back. Has it been a month already? No need to talk through the power of exposition I know what you’re going to say.
Review: TMNT: Mutanimals #2
This has quickly become one of my most anticipated comics. It's only issue two and so much happens. The characters still have their own unique voices and motivations.
Review: GrindHouse: Drive In, Bleed Out #3
“Blood Lagoon” is the sequel to GrindHouse’s earliest iteration as Doors Open at Midnight; more specifically, it’s a follow-up to its very first short story in “Bee Vixens From Mars.”
Review: Mercy Thompson #6
Mercy Thompson #6 concludes an arc in a fairly anticlimactic manner. Everything is very neatly wrapped up, but with little drama or even action.
Review: Chew #47
I fucking love this comic (they swear in the comic, so I'm gonna swear in the review). This is by far and away my most anticipated comic. Everything in it is perfect. The universe they've created feels so surrealy real.
