Review: Analog #1
By Ben Snyder
Analog #1 does a lot of things well, but none exceptional. It has humor littered throughout its pages, uncanny contemporary social and technological commentary, and it even resembles classic noir films at specific points. However, it seems that at this point writer Gerry Duggan and artist David O’ Sullivan are missing an element to truly set them over the edge into greatness.
Review: Isola #1
By Sam King
Isola #1 is a comic with majestic artwork, an interesting story, and lots of mysticism. The art reads highly of the classic art present in works by Hayao Miyazaki. It isn’t a Japanese anime art style, but it has a lot of the sophistication of color choice, particularly in the representation of animals. The story has a solid base to go from, and the artwork is truly something to behold. Even if the story were to be much less interesting, select panels of the art could be sold as individual prints and still be amazing on their own.
Review: Hungry Ghosts #2
By Jonathan Edwards
Hungry Ghosts #2 showcases just how strange it is that this book is both a horror anthology as well as a four-issue limited series. The framing narrative is all but abandoned save for briefly showing the teller at the beginning of each story. It makes you wonder why Bourdain and Rose spent so much of the first issue establishing such specific circumstances. As for the two stories we get this time around, they’re an overall stronger pair. However, taken individually, neither is especially good and, despite its flaws, “The Pirates” from the last issue remains the single best story this book has offered so far.
Review: Motor Crush #11
By Cat Wyatt
After the crazy ending of issue #10, Motor Crush #11 starts out almost feeling calmer by comparison. The issue starts with Bea and Lo hanging out in one of the racing track bars (needless to say it probably is really weird for Lo, her not being out there helping out and all), while Yo-Yo is getting ready for her big race (apparently her stuff made it through just fine).
