Review: Skullkickers #30

For those that have been following Skullkickers from the beginning you’ll be familiar with the “Tavern Tales” style of stories. For those that aren’t familiar (like I wasn’t) then I’ll explain. It’s a special issue in which creator Jim Zub opens the series up for both writers and artists to jump on the title and tell “what if” type stories.

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: Princess Ugg #3

If you read the last issue of Princess Ugg then you too have been patiently waiting for this issue or in my case impatiently waiting. There was a stark difference between the first and second issue and with the cliffhanger I had to wonder what the tone of this third issue would be.

Review: X #16

X is getting well past the year mark for its existence (well, second existence) as an ongoing series with this month marking its 16th issue. It started out as one of my favorite current ongoing series, and this locomotive of intense action, crime, and mystery has not faltered much.

Review: Genius #2

I decided to give Genius a shot after learning about its premise- Destiny, a teenage tactical prodigy raised in South Central Los Angeles unites the city’s gangs in a war against the LAPD. Unfortunately, so far Bernadin and Freeman have spent the majority of this issue and the last focusing on Destiny’s military skills during the ‘south central siege’ while providing little reason for us to care about her and her supporting cast of gangbangers.

Review: Blackout #4

No surprise that I am not the biggest fan of Dark Horse’s Blackout. It avoided issues that needed to be addressed and then stayed on topics that readers understood from the get go. But with being a micro series, I wanted to see if Blackout could end on a high note with the potential of the story being so high.

Review: Godzilla: Cataclysm #1

The new Godzilla title from IDW begins with a flashback revealing how kaiju appeared and ravaged the world. Cleverly illustrated, the scene’s red tone symbolically displays the terrible power of the monsters. Godzilla blasting Ghidora with some blue atomic breath provides a stark contrast from the crimson panels.

Review: Unity #10

Let’s start with that cover! My goodness I can’t get over how great that looks. If I were Valiant I would be throwing Mico Suayan’s cover on a mug, shirt and even a poster. In a way it does capture the essences of the first act of this issue. One important thing to note is that if you’re reading Armor Hunters you need to read issue #3 first or you’ll spoil that issue for yourself.
