Review: Satellite Sam #5

By | Dec 13, 2013 | Reviews

We’re on the last chapter of the first volume of this unique ongoing, and to say that matters are getting grim would be an understatement. This is an immersive, emotional book, and as the multiple storylines progress, it’s getting more and more difficult to look away. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Howard Chaykin The […]

Review: Drumhellar #2

By | Dec 12, 2013 | Reviews

“Drumhellar” impressed us right out of the gate with its cheerful mix of humour, psychedelics and the paranormal, and with this second issue it continues to surprise and delight – if your definition of “surprise and delight” includes a vengeful bog-man, and I’m pretty sure it does. Written by Alex Link and Riley Rossmo Illustrated […]

Review: Reality Check #4

By | Dec 6, 2013 | Reviews

Let’s be real: the first issue of this Image miniseries didn’t blow us away. But now that we’ve reached the last chapter, does “Reality Check” stack up into something a little more substantial? Written by Glen Brunswick Illustrated by Viktor Bogdanovic Dark Hour has been defeated. Will is forced to “Man Up” and face the […]

Pick of the Week: Burn the Orphanage #2

By | Dec 5, 2013 | Reviews

This oversized side-scrolling adventure has reached its penultimate chapter, with our hero, Rock, getting into some serious trouble indeed. It’s splashy video game antics all the way down, and the next best thing to actually breaking out the Super NES and bedding down with some clear cola. Written by Daniel Freedman and Sina Grace Illustrated […]

Review: Three #2

By | Nov 15, 2013 | Reviews

The first issue of this Image Comics miniseries made a nice twist on the 300 legend, putting the oppressed slave order of the Helots center stage. Now matters are escalating, involving the rulers of Sparta and some pretty impossible odds. Written by Kieron Gillen Illustrated by Ryan Kelly Three slaughter survivors race towards the free […]

Review: Manifest Destiny #1

By | Nov 14, 2013 | Reviews

As writer Chris Dingess notes in the afterword, this book is weird. It’s hella weird – although I don’t think you’d expect anything less from a story about Lewis and Clark tracking down monsters. But it’s interesting-weird, and a cracking good story at that, making this new ongoing from Skybound an exciting prospect. Written by […]

Review: Hit #3

By | Nov 8, 2013 | Reviews

We really sort of loved the first issue of this Boom! Studios miniseries. Now we’re on the second-to-last issue, and really sort of on the edge of our seats. Noir comics don’t get much better than “Hit”. Written by Bryce Carlson Illustrated by Vanesa R. Del Rey As the noose slowly tightens, Slater is left […]

Review: Ghost Cop #1

By | Nov 7, 2013 | Reviews

It’s tempting to look at the title of this three-issue miniseries from Antarctic Press and decide that you already know what it’s about. We’re used to paint-by-numbers mash-ups featuring some combination of ninjas or cowboys or pirates, and it’s not often you come across one that’s really something special. But not only does “Ghost Cop” […]

Review: The Raven and the Red Death

By | Nov 1, 2013 | Reviews

It’s Hallowe’en (or, at least, a handful of hours ago, it was), and we already know that Richard Corben does horror right. It’s easy to make the case for checking out this one-shot, which takes on two classic Poe tales, and puts a unique spin on each of them. Written and illustrated by Richard Corben […]

Review: Five Ghosts #6

By | Oct 31, 2013 | Reviews

We fell over ourselves with praise when “Five Ghosts” first came out, and the miniseries only got better from there, getting across a tangible love for old-fashioned adventure tales and looking absolutely gorgeous all the while. Now the series is launching as an ongoing, and we’ve got a stand-alone tale set in Japan to kick […]
