Outre is a free anthology that tackles a theme with each issue. The theme for this third issue is Xenophobia which as the inner cover states is an umbrella term for fears of all shapes and sizes. For the most part the stories all dealt with the fear of different people and while each one tackled it differently, they were all still pretty close to one another.

Even though there isn’t a lot to say about this issue, I still just like talking about it. The plot is just two different fights taking place and like with the zero and first issue there’s no dialogue. Just pure Vrestling action.

Well I need to start reading solicits better because I just thought this was a werewolf story set in the south. I mean it is, but it isn’t. Frankly I find this comic to be very bold. The subject matter is racism which let’s be honest is not a subject that comic books tackle often. The fact that it tackled the subject of racism with maturity and tact is enough reason for me to recommend it.

Here’s the cool thing about Tales to Admonish #3, it’s the first issue of the series that I’ve read but it invited me in as a new reader. You may recall Erik’s reviews for the first and second issue, but again this was my first exposure to the series.

The first thing that’s going to catch your attention is that title. I know even I kind of wondered what I was going to get with this story. Knowing Broken Icon Comics though I knew that the title had to be intentional and serve a purpose. Well it does, but we’ll get to that in just a second.

There will be very few people who can’t relate to Reel Love. It is as the name loosely implies about movies, films or cinema if you prefer. That’s not the only thing, but that is what lies at the heart of the story. Now if you’re reading this there’s a good chance that you consider yourself a film buff or maybe your circle of friends consider you a film buff. If you are a film buff then you’re going to really appreciate Reel Love.

Like me you probably haven’t heard of The Revisionist, but after reading this collection of stories I wish I had. The collection contains the short stories that appeared in Digital Webbing Presents circa 2004-2008. They’re all written by Chad Lambert, but there’s a rotation of artists on the series that give it a lot of visual pep.

Going into The Return of Zita The Spacegirl I knew that it was the third book in a series, but nothing else outside of that. I certainly didn’t know Zita or her supporting cast, but as all good books series tend to do I was introduced to the world of Zita while reading this new adventure from creator Ben Hatke.
