The premise for The Re-Creation Project is what grabbed my attention. The planet has come under attack from aliens, and the world’s messiah is a retired rapper. Unfortunately, the first issue fails to do much with that premise.

Over the past two years, I have read an exhausting number of anthologies. It was once a comic format that I enjoyed since you were able to read a lot of comics from a variety of creators. Now it seems as if it’s the golden standard for indie publishers to highlight a lot of new talent, which isn’t bad, but with it comes a varying degree of success.  Success that I didn’t find in Tales from Orbit.

What do you get when you mix Beethoven obsessed on perfecting gyoza, a ditzy Mozart, a mansion, a talking tablet, AND a mysterious bird that seems to like camera time? ClassicaLoid.

Abe gets his Mrs. Dalloway on and throws a dinner party! Gail makes a bold accessory choice! And someone gets a whole new look! But all joking aside, this is another great issue. I don’t know why you’re even reading this. Have you missed reviews 1-3? You can’t still be on the fence, can you? Why haven’t you bought this comic? Are you waiting for the trade? Cause that’s cool. I can respect that.

I wasn’t a fan of the Todd MacFarlane KISS comics; I wasn’t a fan of the IDW KISS comics. Hell, I wasn’t even a fan of Archie Meets KISS, and if I’m brutally honest, I’m definitely not a fan of KISS’ music. I’m also not a fan of most of Gene Simmons public opinions, but that’s a side note since he has dick all to do with this comic.

Sometimes there’s nothing wrong with being a good one of those.

Hadrian’s Wall is a murder mystery, or rather, a locked-room detective story set in space. One where a would-be detective investigates a mysterious death aboard a space station only the victim here isn't some random astronaut but instead the investigator’s former best friend and his ex-wife’s current husband. Out here in the quiet dark of space, everyone's a suspect and everyone has something to hide.

We begin Tomb Raider #9 with a flashback to Lara's childhood, a situation where she was playing with some other children in a sandbox. She discovers a bone and shows the other children, only to have them scream and run away. Lara remembers feelings of loneliness such as this, as she had interests that were different than most other children.

After an outstanding first issue, Ted Naifeh is back with Night’s Dominion #2! Picking up right where we last left our odd bunch of thieves, this issue is, on top of being a great heist issue, another well paced introductory issue, with some twists and turns for good measure. We get to see a little more of each character’s abilities and personalities as they traverse the strange cathedral brimming with cultists. Great sword and sorcery action from start to finish.

Let me start by saying I’ve been following this series since the first issue but this is the first chance I’ve had to review an issue for Comic Bastards. I’m not just jumping into a random issue and hoping for the best, I’ve actually been reading it. You can trust me. The Beauty… This series has a super cool concept that sits well with me, and so far I’ve enjoyed what creators Jeremy Haun and Jason Hurley have done with it. It’s only natural that I should choose to review an issue now as the second arc of The Beauty reaches its conclusion. So first off, I’m going to give my two cents on how I think this arc has fared compared to the first.

Whew, good thing for recap pages, amirite? I haven't read Ninjak in a while, so to jump in here on issue 20, there's a lot going on. Big thanks to Valiant for helping us all out with this recap: Ninjak went to an otherworldly plane to rescue some MI-6 agents, they all caught a disease while they were there (wanky wanky) and now Ninjak has it too (um... wanky wanky?) and now we are decades ahead with Ninjak and the Eternal Warrior (not to be confused with the Ultimate Warrior, although that could be interesting) fighting some old timer called Dr. Silk.
