Review: Z-Girl and the Four Tigers #0-#5

I hate zombies. Indie comics make me hate zombies more than George Romero's last two features. A also tend to dislike indie superhero comics, because they are shameless about aping their influences and rarely have anything interesting to say about a tired field. Apparently though, the secret formula is putting those two things together, because despite itself I don't hate 'Z-Girl and the Four Tigers'.

Review: The Locksmith

In 'The Locksmith', a mysterious death seems to provoke a series of further mysterious deaths in the investigating law enforcement department, evidence of a supernatural force at work connected to a secret group who observes silently.

Review: Edge of Spider-Verse #5

Not having read any of the other Edge of Spider-Verse issues, I cannot say with any certainty that this was the best of the bunch (although it easily wins for most captivating cover).

Review: The Butcher of Banner Cross #1

Utterly dreadful. You don't even have to read further, this is a pathetic book and even analysis is a waste of time. It doesn't have the arrogance of 'Lone Star Soul's marketing strategy or the illiterate pretension of 'Paragon'. Instead, it's just a waste in every regard.

Review: Love Machines #2

I threw some praise Love Machines's way for the first issue, bathing in the goddamn weirdness of the book. However, like all things strange, I wasn't sure if it would end up being a one-note novelty. As much as I have a genuine love for the unusual, I couldn't totally say I took the first issue 100% seriously.
