“Where Starships Go To Die” #1

By | Jun 10, 2022 | Reviews

“Where Starships Go to Die” #1 definitely goes for glory in this story, pulling from climate apocalypse, deep space, deep sea, and alien invasion themes to put together a plotline that has the makings of an epic tale. While the story has its high points and is nothing if not ambitious, at times “Where Starships […]

“Spectro”

By | May 27, 2022 | Reviews

“Spectro” from AfterShock is unlike most other comics we review here, but it’s a welcome change of pace and a buffet platter of sci-fi, speculative space horror. “Spectro” is anthology collection of four stories, all penned, painted and generally processed by Juan Doe. This is a passion project, and the outpouring of a singular mind […]

“Grim” #1

By | May 13, 2022 | Reviews

Spring is upon us (at least in the northern hemisphere), meaning that summer is just around the corner. Popsicles, sunshine, bliss, jean shorts, fun and flirtations — that’s the promise of spring and summer. “Grim” #1 is a far cry from any of that, and instead opens in the biting cold on an icy road […]

“Vanity” #1

By | Apr 15, 2022 | Reviews

Bring on the blood! “Vanity” #1 promises a dark, aesthetically driven history of the Countess of Bathory, a somewhat obscure regent from the Kingdom of Hungary during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This was a time of upheaval, political subterfuge, enlightenment, and religious turmoil. Elizabeth of Bathory would probably have faded into the […]

“Cities of Magick” #1

By | Mar 31, 2022 | Reviews

Co-creators Will Tempest and Jakob Free are certainly living up to their last names, because “Cities of Magick” #1 feels like an expressionist storm of a story, drawing from steam-punk, sci-fi, fantasy, throw-everything-at-the-wall influences. It’s unclear exactly what kind of comic this is so far — sweeping epic, satire, character study, world-building aesthetic eye candy. […]

“Playthings” #1

By | Mar 18, 2022 | Reviews

“Playthings” #1 asks the question: what would happen if a band of horrid, candy-sized and candy-born monsters came to life and made your life bitter hell, capturing you in a nightmare land that both comical and terrifying (but mostly the latter)? Basically, this is a Nightmare at the Museum fever dream, but instead of Ben […]

“The Lion and the Eagle” #1

By | Feb 18, 2022 | Reviews

Sometimes we forget history. This might be a mind-numbing truism, but it’s worth remembering. History is a collection of moments remembered and forgotten, and a measure of any healthy society is its ability to excavate, inspect, and learn from the past. Introspection is key to humility, and perhaps history is a civilization’s way of acknowledging […]

“Bolero” #1

By | Jan 21, 2022 | Reviews

Bolero has been on our radar for the past few months. Why? Well, it’s impossible to predict lightning in a bottle, but sometimes you can put a few clues together that certainly make a story something to watch. In the case of “Bolero” #1, there were a few telltale signs: a committed dyad of artist […]
