Review: Harbinger: Omegas #1

Finally we’re getting to the good stuff! Harbinger has been building up towards this event and though I’m confused on the status of Harbinger itself, I’m just going to enjoy not one, but two different mini-series filling in for the regular ongoing.

Review: The Woods #4

How long is this mini-series? I can tell you right now it’s not going to be long enough. BOOM! needs to pull a play out of Image’s handbook and extend the series because there’s no way I’m going to be content with just four more issues.

Review: Nightworld #1

Do you ever just finish a comic and say “what the hell did I just read?” I’m definitely getting that feeling from Nightworld but that isn’t to say I didn’t like it. I think that there’s just a lot of explaining that needs to happen in the next issues. However, I love the style of writing Adam McGovern brings to Nightworld, it felt very Poe-esque. It has this haunting dream like feel to it that I haven’t seen in a long time.

Review: Steven Universe #1

Steven Universe seems to hold at its core a small boy with severe attention problems. If the comic is looking to mirror the mindset of Steven, then it is working. This issue has nine covers, one main story, three backup stories and a preview of Uncle Grandpa. That’s a lot to take in.

Review: Epic #2

It’s been a while since we talked about Epic on the site. We had an early, early look at the first issue and so some time has passed since then. I for one enjoyed the first issue. Sure there isn’t a lot of meat and potatoes to the tale, but that’s okay.

Review: Alex + Ada #8

This issue starts off where #7 left off and Ada is very concerned about the possibility of her and Alex getting caught in the crackdown. This is where we get to see an interesting dynamic of the book: is it better to be sentient and free while still acting like a robot, with an extreme large risk at hand?

Review: Spread #2

So, I want to start this review of Spread #2 in a strange place: the end. The back matter after this issue is a note from Justin Jordan qualifying what he calls “the elephant in the room,” which is the Saga-esque approach this story takes to narration.

Review: Animals: Pigs

The world of Animals is a strange one. It’s a dash of Animal Farm and Planet of the Apes, but has this rural town feel to it that’s definitely its own. What caught my attention in the first issue Animals: Chickens was the serious mood that the story had. Actually it was more of a melancholy sensation that the story had and that’s continued here. It’s honestly very difficult to describe which I’m sure most people will see when they read it.

Review: Vampirella #3

With Nancy A. Collins’ new look at the classic character Vampirella, a lot has changed and nothing has changed. Enemies have become allies, allies, enemies, and it’s confusion abound as Ms. V. has to sort through this rather sticky and mazelike web in preparation to face an ultimate and destructive evil that is growing and will be using her as the vessel to unleash hellish wickedness and destruction upon the earth.
