Review: Numbercruncher #4

By | Oct 25, 2013 | Reviews

This is the end of “Numbercruncher” – and what a brutal, kinetic, and enlightening trip it has been. Straight from issue one, this no-nonsense take on a heavenly bureaucracy has given us plenty to think about, pitting a mortal mathematician would rather not die against a heavenly enforcer who’ll have none of it. It’s also […]

Pick of the Week: Velvet #1

By | Oct 24, 2013 | Reviews

The words “taut espionage thriller” get thrown around a lot these days, and it’s hard not to resort to them when you come across a book like “Velvet”. That said, sometimes a formula needs to be played out beyond its usual range in order to reveal new depths and possibilities, and in the case of […]

Review: Sheltered #4

By | Oct 18, 2013 | Reviews

The last time we checked in with “Sheltered”, the going was slow but certain, with the politics of a cultish pre-apocalyptic community coming across gradually. In the interim, the pace has picked up, with Victoria emerging as a fierce character and Lucas as an even more deadly and misguided leader. This is the most disturbing […]

Capitalizing on the thrilling idea of a government keeping a huge secret, “Letter 44” from Oni Press puts forth a plausible and terrifying alternate world. Written by Charles Soule Illustrated by Alberto Alburquerque There’s something up […]

Review: The Occultist #1

By | Oct 4, 2013 | Reviews

Okay, comic hipster moment: I liked “The Occultist” back when it was a three-issue miniseries. Significantly less hipstery moment: it’s probably about as good now, kicking off a brand new five-issue series, as it was then. Is calling things “hipster” even relevant any more? I don’t know. Let’s talk about “The Occultist.” Written by Tim […]

Bridging the Gap: Issue #15

By | Oct 3, 2013 | Annotations

This is an incredibly emotional issue of “Mind the Gap”; we’re getting a real grasp of the consequences of Jairus for everybody around Elle, and along the way, getting a firmer grasp on the history of the project. It wouldn’t be “Mind the Gap” if one or two fresh mysteries didn’t pop up along the […]

Review: The Wake #4

By | Sep 27, 2013 | Reviews

The last time we checked in with “The Wake”, the proceedings were intriguing but mystifying. Dr. Archer was on board a top secret underwater ghost rig, researching a mysterious fishman with a screeching call and a tendency toward making everyone hallucinate. Since then, we’ve gotten a bit more exposition, with the most important reveal being […]

Review: Buzzkill #1

By | Sep 20, 2013 | Reviews

Addiction and superheroics – they’re not exactly clashing flavours, but they’re not often mixed in quite this way, either. But this first issue of a miniseries from Dark Horse is starting things off strong, laying out a high concept concisely and colourfully. Written by Donny Cates & Mark Reznicek Illustrated by Geoff Shaw Ruben is […]

Bridging the Gap: Issue #14

By | Sep 20, 2013 | Columns

This ever-fascinating title is still double-shipping, with the revelations coming thick and fast. A lot of these revelations have major consequences, though, and are going to require some serious nitpicking. If you’ll join me… Resurrection Let’s kick things off with a look at the Erik Peterssen backstory going on this issue – the second helping […]

How to Know If the Rat Queens Are Right for You, with Kurtis Wiebe [Interview]

By | Sep 16, 2013 | Interviews

Let’s say you’re living in a fantasy world. (Yes, I know it’s a stretch, especially if you’re a comic reviewer.) Let’s say you have a problem that needs dealing with. You’ve got all kind of companies to choose from; groups of hardened warriors that go by names like “Four Daves”, “Obsidian Darkness”, “Peaches”, and “Brother […]
