Review: Furious #1

By | Jan 31, 2014 | Reviews

“Furious” is a superhero story with a twist! Only I’m pretty sure that tagline doesn’t work on anybody any more. Er, “Furious” is a complicated superhero-centred story that has some believable angst and pain to it.

Pick of the Week: Deadly Class #1

By | Jan 23, 2014 | Reviews

On paper, “Deadly Class” sounds a bit like fellow Image comic “Five Weapons” – misfit youths going to assassin school and finding a place where their talents are needed. But where Jimmie Robinson’s comic is bright and surreal and family-friendly, “Deadly Class” is grit, grit, grit all the way through, starting things off grim and […]

There’s more to tweenhood than being short, sweaty, and awkward – especially when your town’s being invaded by insects, and small people are needed to get the dirty work done. From “Stray Bullets” creator David Lapham comes this off-kilter miniseries about bugs and the kids that squash them — and if I told you there […]
