Review: Fear Agent Vol. 5 – I Against I

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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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?
