Review: Pirouette #1

I had no idea what to expect from this series going in. I’m not a big fan of clown related stories and no it’s not because of a fear of clowns. I actually find any attempt to make clowns creepy and scary to be the opposite. It’s a cheap scare at best. So when I saw a circus and clowns involved in this story I was hesitant to say the least.

Review: Vampirella - Feary Tales #1

I came into this issue with the hope of something fun and frolicking, a nice complement to the monthly and more serious Vampirella title that has been pretty good for the most part. After reading the first few pages however, I was angered as I discovered a terrible truth…This one begins after the as yet released Vampirella #6 and arc finale occurs.

Review: Army of Darkness: Convention Invasion

Ash goes metafictional in this adventure when he gets recognized by some fans and attends a Comic Con. Fans recognize him, and the story gets going. Hijinks ensue when a dark cosplay sorcerer uses the Book of the Dead to possess Ash and unleash some Deadites on the throngs of fanboys and fangirls.

Review: Dark Engine #3

Like I said in my review of issue one (and as I would have said in my review of issue two, had I been stationary long enough to write it), Dark Engine is, and was always going to be, a contentious book. Like what I hold to be its stylistic, if not thematic cousin book, Prophet, this is a series that will demand much from its readership, like a strong stomach and a stern sensibility. But most of all, this is a story that requires patience.

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. That said each of the writers participating in the group review are going to give you their score and thoughts for the first issue.

Review: Death Vigil #4

The average comic fan is probably going to be a little frustrated with this issue, which will be their loss. While the story only inches forward slightly, there’s two pretty big reveals in the issue.

This 128-page collection of The Goon issues 42 through 45 also includes a great sketch gallery—as if you did not have enough reason to read Powell’s masterpiece. If you are not of the kind to collect individual issues, here’s the chance to grab a block of the finest stories and sequential art to grace the medium of comics.

Review: Danger Girl: Mayday #4

Man just seeing this cover gets me ready for Danger Girl. It is intense and with three chicks ready to rough and tough with a bullet bouncing off of a knife doesn’t get you excited for this comic, nothing will. I feel like it has been so long since I read Danger Girl...which is a good thing. You never want me to say, “Man, didn’t I just read this.” So thank you IDW for keeping Danger Girl an arms’ stretch away.

Review: Thomas Alsop #5

Ah man, this issue… this issue. If you haven’t fallen in love with BOOM!’s Thomas Alsop then you are missing out on what might be the best series they’re publishing. It’s very difficult for me to decide what their best title actually is, but hands down this is always going to be fighting for the top spot.
