“Life Is Strange” #1

By | Nov 15, 2018 | Reviews

When assessing the quality of a comic book adaptation, it’s important to think about the audience and the intent. Sometimes, that’s pretty hard to puzzle out. Not so with “Life Is Strange” #1 from Titan Comics. The audience are fans of the first season of the singular and strange Square Enix game. The goal is […]

Wicked Intervention: The Funnies

By | Nov 14, 2018 | Columns

The cover of this “WicDiv” special really says it all- Medusa keeps objectifying people, and Kieron Gillen is addicted to bad puns. By the end of this issue, one of those things is going to become a critical piece of “WicDiv” lore. Funny, one-off issues like this were once a comic book staple, but it […]

“Spidergeddon” #3

By | Nov 9, 2018 | Reviews

“Spider-Verse” was so novel and over-the-top, it seems unimaginable that anyone could ever top it. And try as it might, “Spidergeddon” doesn’t look likely to. With an almost identical premise, it ends up retreading a lot of the same ground as the first inter-dimensional crossover event. Fortunately, “Spider-Verse” was an insane cacophony of comic book […]

“West Coast Avengers” #3

By | Nov 2, 2018 | Reviews

I want to make it official: Kelly Thompson is a treasure. She’s a superstar. Every book she touches transcends its component parts, and we don’t give her enough credit. Take her latest Marvel series “West Coast Avengers.” It’s a light and breezy superhero romp, but deeply, desperately readable. And underneath its surface it has real […]

“Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider” #1

By | Oct 25, 2018 | Reviews

Never have I seen a comic character catch on quite like Spider-Gwen. Before she even debuted in the pages of ‘Spider-Verse’ people fell in love. Now she’s had an ongoing series, a prominent role in a cartoon show, and is about to debut on the big screen. All of this in as little as four […]

“What If? Ghost Rider” #1

By | Oct 19, 2018 | Reviews

There was a time when “What If?” was a popular Marvel ongoing series, but since the second volume ended in 1998, “What If?” has only made sporadic returns. Usually as one-shots or miniseries, none of these “What If?” revivals have had staying power. That’s too bad. As “What If? Ghost Rider” #1 proves, the series […]
