Review: Thor, God of Thunder #7

By | Apr 12, 2013 | Reviews

After an especially dark sixth issue – one in which we took a close look at Gorr’s past – we’re back to a macro view of this epic story. And it looks like this series is continuing to maintain its high standard while mixing in a bit of humour, too. Written by Jason Aaron Illustrated […]

Review: The Colonized #1

By | Apr 11, 2013 | Reviews

Incorporating zombies and aliens AND politics, I think it’s safe to say that there’s a lot going on in this IDW miniseries. Written by Chris Ryall Illustrated by Drew Moss In this all-new miniseries, a spaceship crashes into a separatist camp and manages to reanimate the dead as well! It’s aliens vs. zombies vs. militiamen […]

Review: Godzilla – Half Century War #5

By | Apr 5, 2013 | Reviews

This is it: the most interesting and beautifully conceived Godzilla tale in comics has reached its final chapter, and it’s a doozy. Written and Illustrated by James Stokoe Ota Murakami has fought Godzilla for fifty years. The decades have been hard on Ota, and he is seemingly no closer to his goal. Now, in the […]

Review: Knuckleheads #1

By | Apr 4, 2013 | Reviews

Who needs a quick hit of hilarity? Because you’re liable to get at least a few chuckles out of the ten pages that make up this first issue of “Knuckleheads”. Published by Monkeybrain, and centering on a dudebro superhero and his long-suffering roomie, you’d better believe there’s multum in parvo going on here. Written by […]

Bridging the Gap: Issue #9

By | Apr 3, 2013 | Annotations

This is a very interesting issue of “Mind the Gap” for many reasons. For one, it’s a “silent” issue; it doesn’t have any dialogue. For two, it features guest art by Dan McDaid, and – just like in issue #5, where Adrian Alphona took over art duties for most of the issue – the switch […]

Review: The Answer! #3

By | Mar 29, 2013 | Reviews

The first issue of this Dark Horse miniseries about a genius librarian and masked vigilante was clever and engaging, and the second issue kicked the kookiness up an extra notch. What sort of twists await us now that we’ve gotten this far? Written by Dennis Hopeless Illustrated by Mike Norton While Devin is living out […]

Review: Five Weapons #2

By | Mar 28, 2013 | Reviews

So we kind of loved the first issue of this miniseries – but then, what’s not to love about a boarding-school story where there are kids learning to be assassins? It didn’t hurt that our hero, Tyler, was just about the classiest take on the non-violent smart kid ever. Written and Illustrated by Jimmie Robinson […]

Review: Mystery Society Special 2013

By | Mar 22, 2013 | Reviews

2010’s miniseries “Mystery Society” was remarkable for a lot of things, from Steve Niles’ fun and inventive script to the smooth and lovely art from Fiona Staples. It’s about time this Gothic series about a myth-investigating duo and their madcap team revisited the shelves – but with a new artist and a scaled-down story, does […]

Pick of the Week: Comeback #5

By | Mar 21, 2013 | Reviews

Buoyed by a well-thought-out central concept and all kinds of bright and eye-catching art, “Comeback” has had a pretty good run. But how do things turn out for this miniseries – and its two beleaguered protagonists – in the end? Written by Ed Brisson Illustrated by Michael Walsh With half of Reconnect on the run […]

Hype Machine: Five Ghosts

By | Mar 19, 2013 | Columns

It’s hard to over-hype a book like “Five Ghosts”. Written by Frank Barbiere and illustrated by Chris Mooneyham, the self-published first issue caught our attention at NYCC 2012 and — much to our delight! — got picked up by Image Comics late last year. That said, the review linked in that last paragraph got a […]

Friday Recommendation: Ojingogo

By | Mar 15, 2013 | Columns

So much of comic-reviewing has to do with looking at the text and the art, and watching the two compete and combine as they (hopefully) evoke a story that does justice to the flexibility of the medium. So it’s a bit perplexing to be faced with a book like Ojingogo – a comic without any […]
