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: 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.

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: 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.
