Review: Rat Queens v2 #10

By Cat Wyatt

For a while now Rat Queens has been building up a mystery. Characters have been disappearing for a while now, both in the comics and on the covers. Now it’s just little Betty on the cover, left in the blue hand that’s snatched away so many. In Rat Queens #10 we’re finally given the answer to the mystery, but we’re left with many questions.

Review: The New World #1

By Hunter T. Patrick

Perfect description is just what Image says, Romeo and Juliet meet Mad Max. Welcome to an alternate future where five major cities are all randomly bombed. No one knows who did it and no one is admitting to it. A second civil war breaks out, and New California reigns supreme. In New California, there exists a reality show all about hunting criminals led by an extreme cop. Against the government comes a contradictory hacker anarchist who substations from any drug (including alcohol) and any meat. Like all good romances, romance ensues after a hook up from these two, and thus the story begins right where the first issue ends. This issue is super-lengthed and serves to introduce all the background needed. Prepare to be immersed.

Review: Death or Glory #3

By Damien Becton

With the previous two issues of Death or Glory, Remender and Bengal find their footing by effectively establishing the characters and craziness that takes place in their story. With the third issue of the book, the two creators turn it into a full-on sprint. Easily the best issue in the series so far, Death or Glory #3 manages to effectively mix engaging action and thrills with captivating and genuine character development.

Review: Kill or Be Killed #20

By Ben Snyder

No matter what, reading the last issue of Kill or Be Killed was always going leave me disappointed because I’ve loved the entire series so much. Seeing it end, although it inevitably had to, was always going to leave a bad taste in my mouth. But Kill or Be Killed #20, disappointed me in a different way all-together. After such a stellar run from Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips, and Elizabeth Breitweiser, the ending felt almost mean spirited with several instances of the rug being pulled out from underneath the reader for no purposeful reason besides to fill an entire chapter. Or perhaps I’m just jaded, because despite it’s faults Kill or Be Killed #20 is still better than most finales.

Review: Farmhand #1

By Dan Traeger

Rob Guillory is an absolute genius. Just putting that out there in case any of you who’ve ever read his long-running Chew series had any doubt. For those of you who don’t know who Rob Guillory is, he’s half of the creative team behind the aforementioned series that won two Harveys and Two Eisner awards, so I’m not the only one who thinks the man is a genius. With his new series Farmhand, he splits off from his former partner John Layman and goes solo. Scary territory to be sure, but after reading Farmhand #1 I feel he is more than up to the task.

Review: Descender #31

By Ben Snyder

Descender has come a very far ways from where it started. At first, the series was quiet, beautiful, almost meditative on the existence of A.I and the repercussions of its abuse. For a while, I thought that’s how the story would stay, but as the story unfolded it was clear that Jeff Lemire and Dustin Nguyen were telling a sprawling and expansive space epic something on a massive scale. While it hasn’t hit the highs its creators have set out for it; Descender has been a success for most of its issue. Descender #31 is no exception, providing a bombastic and explosive entry before the series finale. It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough.

Review: Unnatural #1

Using personified animals has been a very lucrative and productive method throughout the history of animation and cartoons. Disney consistently makes a hit movie every couple of years with this premise, and Fables used this idea to some extent as well. We could even go back to Animal Farm for instance. But that would be the only way that a book such as Unnatural could be mentioned within the same breath of said institutions. Unnatural #1 is one of the most heavy-handed, low grabbing, and uncomfortable stories I’ve read in a long time if not ever. I’d recommend anyone steers clear of this story unless they’re interested in low quality furry fan-fiction.

Review: Days of Hate #6

By Ben Snyder

Media depends on and reflects or draws inspiration from whatever goes in the outside world around it. What is currently happening in America right now only adds to the power and sheer brilliance that is Days of Hate. Days ago news reports came that ICE and border control were separating children from their parents at the Mexican border and placing these children in crates. Some outlets compared them to internment camps. I only mention this because these real-world struggles are literally only small steps away from the hellhole that Aleš Kot, Danijel Žeželj, and Jordie Bellaire depict in their harrowing, bone-chilling saga that is Days of Hate. Days of Hate #6 ends the first half of the tale with a bang, placing all of our “heroes” in dire and dangerous territory.

Review: The Magic Order #1

By Dan Traeger

For a writer who learned at the hip of Grant Morrison, you’d think by now Mark Millar would know better than to half-ass out a plot and try passing it off as a fully developed story. But that’s the fun and ultimately frustrating thing about Millar. He’s inconsistent as fuck. Back in the day, Millar was either brain bleedingly bad (The Ultimates, The Unfunnies, Nemesis) or absolutely on point (Civil War, The Authority, Aztek) and it was a pretty rare occasion where you’d find him phoning it in. Lately, though, he still has the great (Kingsmen, MPH, Chrononauts) and his bad stuff has morphed into an all over the map series of meh. (War Heroes, Kick-Ass, Starlight, The Jupiter Cycle, Huck.)
