The police procedural is to me what grilled cheese is to most people—it’s my comfort food. The narrative beats and structural format hit me like a good song with that experience of getting to watch some jaded but good-hearted cops push through the morbidity of the every-day murder and the explore the personal frustrations and weaving webs we create just in carrying out our day-to-day lives.

The Batman and The Turtles... Another miniseries featuring these two franchises and a scary crossover for me, as I found the last one to be a complete and utter bag of wank. It was very disappointing to see two things I’ve loved since I was a child treated so badly. I’m hoping this miniseries will do these characters justice, because with characters like these, a crossover event between the two should be absolutely epic…

A part of me wonders that when an independent comic creator enters the mainstream superhero genre, there’s this pressure to emphasize the superhero aspect in a superhero story.

By issue four the shock has worn off. The routine sets in. It's amazing how many nonsensical things this book crams in, yet it doesn't faze me anymore. If you want a parade of the most ridiculous Batman concepts and moments since the 1970's, pick up any given issue of 'All Star Batman.' I'm reviewing all of the remaining issues of this first arc (appearing to thankfully take its bow next issue) but the worst this book can make me feel is now behind us. Now we just wait and wonder how it came to this.

Okay, so unlike Fune Wo Amu, what drew me to 3 – Gatsu No Lion (in English March Comes in like a Lion) immediately was the style of animation and the fact that the original source, of the anime series, is a manga by Chica Umino, the author, and creator of the award-winning Honey and Clover series.

Space Battle Lunchtime. The rules are simple: cook or be cooked, according to the awesome (and illustrated vs written) recap page. Without fact checking (so don't get all mad if I'm wrong) I'm going to assume this is some kind of intergalactic cooking battle. Different cooks are pulled from different planets or galaxies in order to compete, and this round there is a human! She is very upset that she has been chosen for all this competition. Understandably so, as ending up in some alien's stomach is a pretty poor fate if she doesn't win.

Intertwined continues to be a series that I dig shamelessly. Sure, the line-work can be choppy and the colors sometimes muddy but the pages wield a pin-point focus on what it sets out to do and be, nailing that target wholly.

There’s aspects of Antique that I like, but others I’m not fond of. The storytelling and pacing is skilled and keeps the story interesting. The art… is not for me. Hey, I like a variety of styles, but this isn’t one I’m enjoying. It was difficult getting through the issue because I couldn’t get into the art.

Something tells me that when Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were robbing hardware stores in East Texas, they weren’t doing it because it’d make a good story. Likewise, when Charlie Starkweather and Caril Fugate were torturing industrialists in Lincoln, Nebraska, they didn’t do it so in the early ‘90s people would make a couple counter-cultural films about them.

Ah, the south. What can be said about the southern states of America that hasn't already? Cannibal takes place is a small town in Florida called Willow. Thanks to our recap page (thank you to whoever included this) we find out that after a series of hurricanes affected the southeast part of the U.S., it not only caused a lot of damage monetarily but also caused ancient mosquitoes to be awakened from the earth carrying the yellow fever. A pharmaceutical company created a medicine to combat the fever, but it had another effect; causing people to crave human flesh. These people aren't undead zombies though, they are just normal people living their lives. Craving flesh.
