024 - On this week's show I talk about nothing, other than comics that is because it's a comic podcast. Duh! I have nothing to write here, but there needs to be something... did you know that in Dragon Ball Z they wished for Android 18 to have a vagina? Look it up, but you might want to word it differently. That has nothing to do with the rest of the show.

Review: Mr. Higgins Comes Home

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: Rashomon - A Commissioner Heigo Kobayashi Case

By Justin McCarty

From Victor Santos and Dark Horse comes a detective noir set in feudal Japan. This story has everything you need for good noir. A hard-boiled detective, a femme fatale, lies, and government corruption. Santos’ first part to Rashomon was previously published only in Spain, here we have both parts published by Dark Horse. Part one is a straight murder mystery. The second part is a murder mystery but backdropped, and part of, the forty-seven ronin story.

Review: Sherlock Frankenstein & the Legion of Evil #1

By Daniel Vlasaty

Apparently, I am just out of the loop when it comes to new comic books. Because this book came out of nowhere for me. I love Black Hammer and I also love Leff Lemire's writing, and I especially love David Rubin's weird/beautiful art. So, right off the bat Sherlock Frankenstein & the Legion of Evil is a win-win-fucking-win book for me. But, really, when you think about it how good can a spin-off book actually be, right? Why make a spin-off at all, other than as a cash-grab? These are a few of the things I initially thought about the book before I even read it. And let me tell you, fuck all that noise. Sherlock Frankenstein & the Legion of Evil is a solid first issue, and a great book overall, as a companion piece to Black Hammer and also as its own thing entirely. Plus, the title's pretty great, too.
