Review: Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #22
By Cat Wyatt
Batgirl and the Birds of Prey issue #22 brings about the conclusion to the Full Circle plot it’s been running. When we last saw our heroes, Canary had finally (and very successfully) taken out Burnrate, as well as maybe hitting her allies (side note; Catwoman and Ivy both joined this fight as well), during which time Helena had been kidnapped by Calculator and his people.
Review: Detective Comics #980
By Hunter T. Patrick
Welcome to the penultimate issue of Tynion IV’s Detective Comics run. Has it been incredible? Eh. Has it been bad? Eh. Now we are ending this run the only way this run knows how with an eh. The problem with the run that also is a huge problem with this issue is that there are so many great characters at play, but not enough time to see them do anything but be in the middle of the action. Like most issues, this is another one jam-packed with action. It refuses to take a breather as we go from scene to scene, its a wonder how this run of twice monthly, two-year comic run is supposed to wrap this arc up in the next issue. If it can be pulled off, then I salute Tynion, but as of this issue, I feel any ending would be way too rushed.
Review: Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps #44
By Cat Wyatt
Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps is back, and so are the Darkstars. I’ve been excited about this plot, so it feels like the wait between each issue is insanely long (I know, I’m super impatient like that). A quick recap, for those that have missed any issues; The Controllers created a force called the Darkstars, intending to control them and have them rival the Green Lanterns. While they succeeded in the later, the former not so much. Now the Green Lanterns are assembling their collective allies to try and deal with the great threat here.
Review: The Spider King #4
By Sam King
This is the last issue of the currently planned miniseries, although based on the ending, this may not be the full end of the story. The Spider King finally concludes, and I enjoyed the last half of the miniseries much more than the beginning half. This comic is basically what happens when you combine Vikings and aliens. It is the unlikely and chaotic marriage of historical fantasy elements and science fiction craziness.

Review: Archie vol. 5
By Hunter T. Patrick
Following the fallout of the last Archie story arc, Archie #23-27 deals directly with the percussions of “Over the Edge”. Mark Waid began his run stronger, and it seemed that the last arc was the best, now (re)reading all the issues in here does this prove that his run keeps getting better and better. Being a huge Riverdale fan, and a proud fan of the current Archie comics (from New Riverdale to Archie Horror), this is a great example why everyone should be proud to collect and follow everyone’s favorite redhead (take that Ron Weasley).

Review: Doom Patrol #11
By Jonathan Edwards
Doom Patrol#11 really, really should’ve come out before Milk Wars. I already knew that going in, but after reading through it, it’s pretty baffling that DC would ever let that event happen before this issue. From setting up Milkman Man to establishing this version of Cliff as being from fanfiction to explaining where the Doom Patrol just came from and what they’re talking about at the beginning of JLA/Doom Patrol Special #1, several things from Milk Wars make considerably less sense without first being touched upon here. All that being said, Doom Patrol #11 is itself a great issue with a lot going on in it.

034 - Back finally with a new episode! Really I finally had something worth talking about, too bad for you it's all comics you can't read yet!

I'd usually list them right now, but you can head over to the review section and get a preview if you need one. Otherwise, just be surprised.
Review: Wormworld Saga Vol. 1
By Sam King
Wormworld Saga Vol. 1 is exactly the kind of story I would have wanted to read as a kid. It is beautifully illustrated, the story is solid, and the main character is very likable and relatable. This is a perfect graphic novel for kids, especially those who are into fantasy but may not be quite ready for the length of Lord of the Rings or who prefer visual mediums. It is a beautiful work that I would love to read more of. It is a digital comic that has been officially online for a while now. The first chapter was published online in 2010, and now the series has been picked up for publishing by Lion Forge Comics imprint Cub House which prints comics for kids 12 and under.
Review: Red Sonja/Tarzan #1
By Jonathan Edwards
I have never read an issue of Red Sonja in my life. What’s more, I’m only familiar with Tarzan at all because of the Disney film of the same name, and I haven’t seen that for something like a decade, if not longer. Gail Simone, on the other hand, is a slightly different story. Granted, I’ve not yet read nearly as much as her work as I should have, but, from what I have read, she’s a very skilled writer, and she very much continues to be one here. Because despite going into this crossover book knowing as outright little about two franchises that, frankly, I didn’t remotely care about, she had me fully hooked by this issue’s midpoint.
Review: Action Comics Special #1
By Jonathan Edwards
I love Superman. Plain and simple. When I was a kid, I only really liked him because, well, I was a kid, and he was a superhero. The superhero. And, for a few teenage years, I didn’t like him for all of the easy, low hanging fruit reasons to dislike him. He’s too strong. He’s boring. His one weakness is too readily available. Blah blah blah. But, when I finally sat down and actually read books like Superman: Birthright, Superman: Secret Identity, Kingdom Come, and All-Star Superman, I quickly came to love him for everything he truly embodies. So, you better believe I was hyped when I found out that, among other things, Rebirth meant the original Superman was returning to the limelight. Now, just a couple of weeks ago Action Comics #1000 came out and paid thorough homage to the legacy of the Man of Steel. Admittedly, I stopped reading Action Comics after a couple of months, mainly because I found the other Clark Kent (when that was still a thing) to be insufferable. However, I absolutely picked up that issue, and it was fantastic. So, I am kind of surprised to see Action Comics Special #1 come out this week. Maybe it’s just me, but it seems a bit strange, maybe even pointless, to release a special right after the infinitely more special 1000th issue.

I picked up Transdimensional having no prior knowledge of the subject. Not even the Kickstarter description. If I had, I probably would have skipped it. I am probably one of five comics fans that don't get into sci-fi horror. The Kickstarter describes the comic as being a sci-fi horror in the same family as Alien and The Abyss. I’ve seen Alien maybe (just the one - sad face from you probably), not The Abyss. I wasn’t the proper audience for this comic. However, if I was into this type of story, I could see its appeal.
