“Archie 1941” #4

By | Jan 4, 2019 | Reviews

On the whole, Archie Comics are known for interesting and innovative line extensions and their fearless ability to reimagine their core characters. Unfortunately, “Archie 1941” has done little, if anything, to distinguish itself and break new ground. Issue #4 is just more of the same. (Warning: contains minor spoilers.) Written by Mark Waid and Brian Augustyn […]

“Goddess Mode” #1

By | Dec 13, 2018 | Reviews

Written by Zoë Quinn Illustrated by Robbi Rodriguez Colored by Rico Renzi […]

“Killmonger” #1

By | Dec 7, 2018 | Reviews

In “Killmonger” #1 writer Bryan Hill and illustrator Juan Ferreyra refuse to take the easy way out by merely rehashing things that we already know from the smash hit Black Panther movie.

“Quincredible” #1

By | Nov 30, 2018 | Reviews

As the newest book in Lion Forge’s Catalyst Prime shared universe, “Quincredible” #1 functions as a gateway into one of the coolest and most diverse self-contained mythos in comics or a standalone story. Either way, it’s a fresh and compelling take on superhero origin tropes. (Warning: contains minorspoilers.) Written by Rodney Barnes Illustrated by Selina Espiritu […]

“Exorsisters” #2

By | Nov 23, 2018 | Reviews

“Exorsisters” #2 starts strong, with great dialogue and fantastic artwork. As the issue progresses, however, it starts to bog down, introducing backstory that tends to make it feel a bit formulaic.

“Murder Falcon” #2

By | Nov 16, 2018 | Reviews

Like its predecessor, “Murder Falcon” #2 is wildly entertaining, action-packed jam with unexpected emotional depth. Come for the pinch harmonics and double bass drum beats, stay for well crafted, multidimensional story. (Warning: contains minor spoilers.)

“Sex Death Revolution” #1

By | Nov 1, 2018 | Reviews

Despite the book’s punk rock title, “Sex Death Revolution” #1 is ultimately pretty tame, but don’t let that scare you away. This double-sized debut issue is a decidedly different take on the art of black magic and the human toll it exacts on those who practice it. (Warning: contains minorspoilers.) Written by Magdalene Visaggio Illustrated by Becca […]
