Review: Lobster Johnson - Get The Lobster #5

Lobster Johnson: Get the Lobster is finally over. I say that like it’s been a chore to read the series, and honestly, it hasn’t. Each issue reads quickly and propulsively. The art by Tonci Zonjic has always been fantastic. There’s a lot of this comic that should work, but at the end of the day, it just doesn’t.

Review: The Dream Merchant #4

You can never tell what comic you will miss when it goes on break. Not that I didn’t love Dream Merchant, but I had a lot of other good comics keeping me occupied. Well I missed this comic. I missed the story, I missed Nathan Edmondson, and I especially missed those vivid colors running along the comic that made me feel in a dream state through the issue every time I read it.

Review: Starlight #5

Whenever I reach the conclusion of an issue of Starlight, I am - much like the book’s main protagonist, Duke McQueen, during his interplanetary misadventure - reminded of better times. See, when you get to the end of this Mark Millar-driven Image book, you see emblazoned atop a page a host of five-star reviews, among which is the first score I gave it for Comic Bastards: a far cry from what I will give it here today. Thing is, I still think it deserved that score, and I truly wish it still did.

Review: Next Testament #12

Let me start off this review to just gloat about how much I loved this comic. The whole series was a creepy thrill ride. But even more so, it told a complete story about the man upstairs. It showed God being angry which is so different from what God is portrayed as. He is either a figure-head that is never physically seen but somehow shows himself through actions or is seen and is the almighty God that we have come to know. Well now God is pissed at the humans for being so pathetic. He wants to rid the world of these humans.

Review: Midnight Tiger #1

After its successful Kickstarter project I was glad to see Midnight Tiger picked up by Action Lab. It was a story I was eager to read and with Action Lab I knew that it would get a wide release and I would have my opportunity to read it.

Review: Doberman #2

So it turns out I gave out the highest score for Doberman #1 on the internet. Was the issue bad or do some reviewers take themselves too seriously? That’s for you to decide. All I know is that I enjoyed the first issue and guess what? I really enjoyed this second issue. I think it is an improvement over the first issue and really gains its footing as a series rather than a ridiculous cop just busting criminals and throwing people out of glass windows.

Stumptown #1

Stumptown issue 1 left me cold, which is extremely unusual for me and a Greg Rucka comic. The issue has some wonderful art and extremely good moments between characters, but it felt like one extended scenario as opposed to a contained issue.

Review: Abe Sapien #15

Well this issue is a change of pace. You’ll notice instantly from the cover that there are two things different about this issue: 1) its illustrated by the fantastically talented Juan Ferreyra and 2) Abe… doesn’t look like himself or rather he looks like his old self.
