Group Review: Wytches #1

There’s no denying that Scott Snyder is a “hot” name in the world of comics, so it only makes sense that we would tackle his newest series Wytches from Image Comics. You may recall that Image was pretty pumped to have this series and it seems like a few of our writers were as well.

Review: Black Science #9

Being that I was on my own trans-world jaunt this past summer, I wasn’t able to cover Black Science #8. That’s a damn shame, because in my opinion, it was one of the best issues of this Image series to date.

Review: Empress #1

I read The Fade Out, Brubaker's new Hollywood noir when it first hit the shelves, and wasn't in love. It was beautifully drawn and featured Brubaker's signature command as reigning King of Comic Noir, but it felt overly familiar and didn't have the same frantic sadness that Satellite Sam won me over with.
