Review: Ice Cream Man Volume 1: Rainbow Sprinkles

By Hunter T. Patrick

What a feel-good time for everyone but the characters. Ice Cream Man is an anthology series. Each issue is its own one-shot, all being connected by the titular Ice Cream Man. This volume features four different issues and four different stories. Music, drugs, and various other main themes become present. Nothing is scarier than humanity. This is horror, pure delicious horror. The scares are all brief in the pages, but like all good horror, the more thought in this psychological terror, the more fear, and despair that will come to the reader. The horror sticks with you for the four different plots, each different than the last. If you want anything from trouble with couples to trouble with the self and isolation, go on and give it a try. Everything is sprinkled, delicious, terrifying sprinkles.

Review: Mage: The Hero Denied #9

By Dan Traeger

Now kids, did I ever tell you the story of how Matt Wagner’s wonderful semi-autobiographical fantasy series changed my life? No? Well it really didn’t… well actually it did. Sort of. Better sit down, let me explain. No, no take the comfy chair. Here’s some nice hot tea. Don’t worry, I put a little spiced rum in it. Don’t tell mom. You see I’ve always had this theory that most of what makes up the kind of person you are can be gleaned from three things. Everything else will work itself out in the wash, but your core is really what music you listen to, what movies you watch, and most importantly, what books you read. Ridiculous? Kind of. Shallow? Most definitely. Like I said it’s a theory.

Review: Death of Love #5

By Cat Wyatt

The conclusion for Death of Love is finally here, and it’s a bittersweet moment to be sure. The last time we saw our characters, they were facing off against Eros. Eros, as a gentle reminder is the god of love and is almost literally designed to look like Jason Mamoa in bondage. So this isn’t something you want to be missing.

Review: The Dead Hand #3

By Ben Snyder

Slowly the iron curtain is starting to be pulled back ever so slightly in The Dead Hand #3. In the third chapter we are introduced to the smooth-talking counterpart of Carter Carlson, who is simply known as Ellis (people sound much cooler when they only go by one name). Kyle Higgins, Stephen Mooney, and Jordie Bellaire continue their triumphant run with another stellar entry into the fledging series. While the other two entries relied on superb endings (this one does too), the third chapter succeeds more so for it’s subtlety as it introduces new characters and agendas, while hinting that it may not be as it seems.
