Review: Heavenly Blues #5

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #5 of Heavenly Blues continues the tale of our dead criminals, this time with a focus on James. This fact is immediately made obvious by the fact that James is on the cover of the issue, usually a good indicator in this series that the character’s backstory is about to be revealed.

Review: Kill or Be Killed #19

By Ben Snyder

Although, I have been an avid fan of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips’s Kill or Be Killed so far, there hasn’t quite been an issue that left me saying “what?” until this chapter. Kill or Be Killed #19 obviously signals the eventual series ending with a final page that will leave readers feeling and saying similarly, but it shouldn’t detract or distract from a thoroughly intense albeit dialogue heavy chapter. If there’s one complaint to Ed Brubaker’s style is that he can be a bit too dialogue-heavy and that is very prevalent in this chapter. Despite this, I think teamed up with Sean Phillips and Elizabeth Breitweiser, this complaint is soothed a bit, as each cog works together harmoniously to produce another solid issue of Kill or Be Killed.

Review: Judge Dredd: Under Siege #1

By Noel Thorne

I’m not gonna lie to you - I’ve read this comic twice now, and I’m still not 100% on the plot nuances. Mutants have taken over a city block, or gangs have, and they’re holding a judge hostage…? It doesn’t matter - the basic premise is Dredd and a female Judge have to shoot their way up a city block. Just like the last Dredd movie! Where do writers get their ideas?!

Review: Raven: Daughter of Darkness #5

By Kelly Gaines

Raven Daughter of Darkness #5 feels like the grand finale of a confusing twister of plot and character- except the story’s not over, and there’s no Bill Paxton or Helen Hunt to be found. If you’re committed to this title, buckle up for the excitement of demonology meets power rangers meets wizard book club meets true crime in the making. It’s a mixed bag in the absolute worst way and only becomes more disappointing as the dust settles.

Review: Jeepers Creepers #2

By Damien Becton

As a ten-year-old kid, Jeepers Creepers, the movie, was an absolutely terrifying experience for me. Watching The Creeper toss bodies wrapped in blood-soaked blankets down a well and stare at the two main characters of the movie as they drove down the road is still burned into my memory - along with a haunting, but catchy tune, “Jeepers, Creepers, where’d ya get those peepers? Jeepers, Creepers, where’d ya get those eyes?!” As I got older and wiser, and I (almost) grew out of my fear for The Creeper, the movie became my favorite horror film of all-time because of its terrifying antagonist, cheap-looking, but charming, practical effects, and its’ haunting scenes. With that being said, I read this book with my all of my biases turned 100 and enjoyed the hell out of it. If you’re a fan of this scary character, then you’ll probably think this book is as awesome as I did but if not...well, find something else.

All Things Considered, Superman Is Still Better Than Batman

The long ongoing debate about which superhero beats the other can easily get people’s knickers in a twist, and regardless of the endless cases made for each side, die-hard fans are not easily swayed and would much rather go at each other’s throat than to betray their favourite superhero. So, of course, I am aware that I won’t be putting an end to this debate today, but that’s the fun of it, because what’s better than engaging in some playful banter about fictional figures that do not exist?
