Review: Ghosted #3

By | Sep 13, 2013 | Reviews

We’re halfway through this spectral miniseries, and it’s already garnered its fair share of fans, despite a couple of flaws. And now that the spooks are becoming more overt, things are about to get that much more complicated. Written by Joshua Williamson Illustrated by Goran Sudzuka At dusk, murderers rise from the shadows of the […]

Review: Ballistic #2

By | Sep 12, 2013 | Reviews

The first issue of this miniseries from Black Mask was brightly coloured, hyper-detailed, anarchic and a bit confusing. This second issue is all of those things, even more so, making for another immersive and disquieting experience. Written by Adam Egypt Mortimer Illustrated by Darick Robertson This madcap sci-fi buddy adventure about a wanna-be bank robber […]

Review: Love Stories (to Die For) #1

By | Sep 6, 2013 | Reviews

I don’t think it would be giving too much away if I said that this one-shot from Image Comics might as well be called “Distrust and Betrayal Stories (to Die For)”. They’re pretty grim. Both written by Dirk Manning, and both addressing the seedier side of devotion and loyalty. Written by Dirk Manning Illustrated by […]

Pick of the Week: Hit #1

By | Sep 5, 2013 | Reviews

One of the words I’m liable to overuse when I write reviews is “noirish” – and no, it isn’t really even a word at that. But when there’s a quality out there you really like, you look for it everywhere, and when Boom! Studios comes up with a miniseries that’s so noirish it hurts, you […]

Review: Lazarus #3

By | Aug 30, 2013 | Reviews

The first and second issues of “Lazarus” blew us away, crafting an enthralling post-apocalyptic world and populating it with a diverse cast of characters and more than its fair share of moral and political dilemmas. Moving forward, there are a couple of bumps along the way, but the intrigue of the plot and the scale […]

Bridging the Gap: Issue #13

By | Aug 29, 2013 | Annotations

“Mind the Gap” has started double-shipping – which means revelation upon revelation for us Gap-Minders to mull over. Stepping things up a notch is the fact that this issue covers two time periods, giving us some history regarding the Jairus project as well as filling in some of the present-day details. Bearing in mind the […]

Review: Creepy Comics #13

By | Aug 23, 2013 | Reviews

Whether you’re in need of a scare, or just feel up for some nifty short-form comics, Uncle Creepy always delivers. The theme this time around is the number 13, and all the superstitions that come along with it – and while, at first glance, it’s not the most promising concept in the world, this issue […]

Review: The Outliers #1

By | Aug 22, 2013 | Reviews

This week sees the digital release of a comic that’s garnered a fair bit of buzz in self-published print form, not least because it’s gorgeous and weird, one of those one-of-a-kinders that sets out to create the kind of taste it takes to appreciate it. If you’re going to read one delightfully oddball comic this […]

Review: It Came! #1

By | Aug 16, 2013 | Reviews

Now that is a title that gets your attention. But even if this comic were called, I don’t know, “Watching Paint Dry, Vol. 2”, it wouldn’t change the fact that what’s going on within its pages is all kinds of loopy. First in a four-part miniseries from Titan Books, this is the sort of comic […]

Bridging the Gap: Issue #12

By | Aug 15, 2013 | Annotations

Hello again, and welcome to the edition of Bridging the Gap in which I lay out a vaguely promising theory! The day had to come eventually, you guys. But seriously, this is another dense and surprising issue, and as always, there are all kinds of clues to Google madly think about. Get your typing fingers […]

Review: Lost Vegas #4

By | Aug 15, 2013 | Reviews

We’ve had a lot to say about this miniseries so far, not least because – for a miniseries especially – “Lost Vegas” feels like a lot of comic. This ambitious but unevenly executed conclusion takes us home on the same tack, delivering a lot of information but hooking us in more with the visuals and […]
