Review: Shaft #1

If you’re expecting, as Dynamite puts it, “the black private dick that’s a sex machine with all the chicks,” you might be pleasantly surprised with Shaft #1. In what is amazingly Shaft’s first appearance in comics, we meet a much younger man before all the dick and chick stuff.

Review: Escape From New York #1

Even though I wasn’t blown away by BOOM!’s Big Trouble in Little China, I couldn’t help but get excited about Escape From New York. Growing up Snake Plissken was one of my favorite film characters, so much so that I struggled through the terrible sequel Escape From L.A. in which showed an aged Kurt Russell surf as he ran the gambit of California stereotypes (most of which are only true on TV).

Review: Army of Darkness: Ash in Space #1

The well-handled Ash Gets Hitched miniseries provided a great dose of fun and action into the otherwise weak monthly offering. With Steve Niles and crew stepping back to allow Cullen Bunn a turn at writing the chainsaw handed chronologically displaced anti-hero, a new turn begins for Ash and the Army of the Dead.

Review: Chew #45

Here’s the thing about Chew, it’s kind of the Seinfeld of comics. Let me explain. It doesn’t really change month to month, but it still manages to be incredible. You kind of know what to expect and really you’re just popping in to be entertaining, but you’re not expecting the world to dramatically change or anything.

Review: Usagi Yojimbo - Senso #5

Senso is on its 5th issue, so we are right before closing out this story arc with #6. Only just jumping onto this series has proved to be worth the read. Usagi is addicting for several reasons. The first includes the art by Stan Sakai. The battle scenes make every issue worth it all.

Review: Sleepy Hollow 2.11 - The Akeda

The Sleepy Hollow midseason finale was certainly an emotional roller coaster; the kind of roller coaster that goes up, down, loops around, goes up- and then stops abruptly. And you’re stuck at the top, wondering why this is happening to you, and the maintenance guy is like, “I’m doing great, aren’t I?”
