This Month in Comics: July 2014

By | Aug 5, 2014 | Columns

How do you sum up July in comics? There was only the biggest comic convention in the world, is all, and while it wasn’t the best year for announcements, there’s still plenty to discuss. We also lost an Eisner – which puts us in fine company, I gotta say. One surprise was the announcement of […]

Big Planet, Crushing Gravity, Vicious Creatures – Dark Horse’s “Deep Gravity” #1 [Review]

By | Aug 1, 2014 | Reviews

If I’ve got a soft spot as a reviewer, it’s for science fiction comics – specifically, science fiction comics about space exploration and first contact. It’s just such a compelling formula, and while I’m a great admirer of books that play around with the formula (see: “Caliban”), those that don’t deviate at all can still […]

Review: The Midas Flesh #8

By | Jul 25, 2014 | Reviews

Last time we checked in with “The Midas Flesh”, it was just over halfway through its run and going strong. So far as super-weapons go, the Midas touch is a pretty novel concept; but more than novel, this series from the Boom! Box imprint exhibited a solid sense of fun. This quality is as striking […]

Review: The Squidder #1

By | Jul 18, 2014 | Reviews

A decade ago, Cthulhu was definitely a cult figure – and by that I mean he was part of underground culture, and not that he had an actual cult around him (but then, you never know). In any case, if you mentioned H.P. Lovecraft to the right person you’d get to have an enthusiastic nerd-out […]

Pick of the Week: The Life After #1

By | Jul 10, 2014 | Reviews

Fialkov and Infurnari kicked off a disorienting, futuristic tale in “The Bunker”; five months later, we’re still reeling. “The Life After” from Fialkov and Gabo carries a similar sense of scale and complexity, and if this Oni Press title doesn’t hit home with quite the same urgency, there’s still plenty to get your cogs turning […]

Review: The White Suits #4

By | Jul 3, 2014 | Reviews

“The White Suits” made an impression on us when we first got ahold of it – a big, bloody impression. The last chapter of this noir miniseries is as violent as you’d expect; but underneath the action, there’s depth and a kind of poetry to this bloody conclusion. Written by Frank J. Barbiere Illustrated by […]

By | Jun 26, 2014 | Reviews

We all knew 2012’s oversized one-shot was the start of something big. Now “Enormous” has got its own ongoing from 215 Ink – and hey, even a webseries. This 50-page first issue throws us back into one mind-boggling ecological disaster, and if you’re expecting large-scale devastation and gorgeous monsters to boot, you’ve got ’em. Written […]

Review: Exit Generation #2

By | Jun 20, 2014 | Reviews

Launched at Thought Bubble 2013, “Exit Generation” is two issues in and well on its way to setting up a remarkable sci-fi universe. Centring on an Earth where 95% of the population was evacuated – only to die on their malfunctioning space arks – we find that the survivors on Earth are having a pretty […]

Review: Lumberjanes #3

By | Jun 13, 2014 | Reviews

The first issue of “Lumberjanes” won us over entirely, kicking off an irreverent camping adventure. This third issue makes for a solid jumping on point; there’s mystery in the air as the girls encounter a cavern full of puzzles. Written by Noelle Stevenson & Grace Ellis Illustrated by Brooke Allen Jo, April, Mal, Molly, and […]

Review: That’s Because You’re A Robot

By | Jun 12, 2014 | Reviews

If the title doesn’t hook you, the creative team will. It’s not often you come across a combination as interesting as the writer of Veep and a mainstay of “2000 AD,” but there you have it. The difficulty, then, is managing expectations. Will this be satirical, with a psychedelic edge? Futuristic, with an improvisational air? […]
