Review: Mr. Higgins Comes Home
By Jonathan Edwards
Mr. Higgins Comes Home surprised me in a couple of ways. First and foremost, by just how short it is for an OGN. The story itself is only forty-nine pages long, just barely over double the length of a normal-sized issue. What’s more, I’ve seen a handful of single issues come out that match or even exceed that page length. I mean, Sacred Creatures #1 boasted a whopping sixty-six pages, so it’s honestly more surprising that Mignola and Johnson-Cadwell gave this one the full hardcover treatment rather than a mere one-shot. The second big surprise is the plot. See, the book’s vampiric premise may be a tried and true one, but it’s the execution that really sets this one apart. Mignola is well-enough aware of the expectations for where this type of story is going to go that he is able to lean into it somewhat during the setup before several curveballs in a row once it really gets going. And, he does it with such economic storytelling that there’s not a single wasted nor excessive moment, something that really goes to show the breadth of his skill as a writer and creator.
Review: Jughead: The Hunger #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Fear not, if you missed the one-shot issue that leads to this ongoing series, you don’t need to track it down in order to enjoy this issue. I mean, you can still track it down, but it’s not required reading at this point. In fact, this issue pretty much spoils the one-shot.
Review: Our War - The Truth Untold vol. 1
By Patrick Wolf
Tired of post-apocalyptic stories that involve zombies, aliens, and floods? Looking for an end-of-the-world story that uproots society from a political standpoint? Then Our War: The Truth Untold is the book for you. But don’t worry, just because this series is political, doesn’t mean it’s preachy. There’s tons of gritty action and raw suspense. So, if you like punk, anarchy, and politics, you’re definitely going to want to pick up volume #1 of this series.
Review: Hack/Slash: Resurrection #1
By Dustin Cabeal
Something that happens a lot with creator-owned comics is that the creators end up writing them for years and years and it gets to the point that you have to wonder if they have anything left in the tank. The crazy thing is that by the time they get to this point, their title becomes a known quantity and something that people buy out of habit more than anything else. For instance, I couldn’t tell you anything happening in Spawn, but the book does quite well each month or at least well enough that it continues.
Review: Void Trip #1
By Justin McCarty
The Universe is real big, man. Void Trip is a new comic published by Image coming out next month. Created by Ryan O’Sullivan and Plaid Klaus, Void Trip is a psychedelic road trip comedy in the vein of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, their words, not mine. In fact, O’Sullivan bills this as Guardians of The Galaxy meets Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Those are big shoes to fill. If you want to invoke drug culture and free-thinking, Fear and Loathing is a good place to start, though. I get the vibe, but I would amend all that by saying this is more of a Cheech and Chong meets Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy kind of story. There is a lot here, and I think it was amazingly executed.
Review: Justice League of America #17
By Jonathan Edwards
“Panic in the Microverse” is finally over and thank god. I addition to the regular problems with this book, this particular arc has really dragged. And, it’s no mystery why. Injecting two full issue-length flashbacks right in the middle of your story, and before the cliffhanger you previously ended on, does no favors for pacing. That’s especially true when neither of said flashbacks provide any useful or necessary information and plot progression. But, that’s the past. How is Justice League of America #17 here in the present? Well, to be honest, it’s not bad. There are still a few hiccups along the way, but the core premise of how to stop the Microverse from being destroyed is sound, and we actually get a good chunk of time dedicated to developing Ryan’s character. Not counting any of the JLA Rebirth one-shots, this might be the best issue of this series to date.

Review: The Ruff and Reddy Show #1
By Dustin Cabeal
What in the fuck is this?
I was about halfway through when I had to know who was writing this dribble and low and behold it was Howard Chaykin. Let me put it plainly; I do not enjoy Chaykin’s writing or art in the least bit. Both offend my senses, and I had the luck of seeing both this week. It was a tough pill to swallow to finish this fucking issue, but I felt compelled to for many reasons.
Review: Batman: The Merciless #1
By Dustin Cabeal
I finally figured out what’s familiar and ultimately not very good about Dark Nights Metal, and all of these tie-ins that have become redundant and predictable. Remember Marvel’s Original Sin? Remember that shit? Where they just started handing out hammers to the Marvel U, both villains and heroes and basically everyone was a Thor? There were a billion tie-ins were each jabroni takes a one-shot to get their hammer and then, “Tune in for the main title to see them use it!”
