Review: Sovereign #2

By | Apr 24, 2014 | Reviews

This epic tale from Image Comics is twenty pounds of story in a two-pound sack. But for those of us willing to do a little unpacking, “Sovereign” has plenty to offer. Written by Chris Roberson Illustrated by Paul Maybury An emperor lays dead, with no successor named for his vacated throne. Visitors from a distant […]

Pick of the Week: Solar, Man of the Atom #1

By | Apr 17, 2014 | Reviews

Solar is a character with a long history, whose most recent incarnations were with Valiant and Dark Horse. This #1 from Dynamite sets Solar up in rather an emotional light – and while his actual appearance in the issue is fleeting, it’s enough to reestablish the mythos around this versatile character. Written by Frank J. […]

Review: Manifest Destiny #6

By | Apr 11, 2014 | Reviews

We really liked “Manifest Destiny” in the beginning, although “liked” is a weak word for a series that balanced post-colonial questions with Lovecraftian horror. But now that it’s reached the end of an arc, has this grim journey gotten where it was going? Written by Chris Dingess Illustrated by Matthew Roberts With the flora infestation […]

Review: Headspace #2

By | Apr 10, 2014 | Reviews

Living inside another person’s head is not exactly a picnic – and when Shane encounters something that doesn’t belong there, it’s clear there’s more going on than he knows. This is a mind-bender of a Monkeybrain title, and while it’s weighed down by some exposition at this juncture, it’s still an absorbing read. Written by […]

Review: The Field #1

By | Apr 3, 2014 | Reviews

“Comeback”. “Sheltered”. We read ’em. Brisson wrote ’em. Image published ’em. And it was good. And while this first issue of a four-part miniseries feels very different from those titles, “The Field” is still a lively read with a lot going on. Written by Ed Brisson Illustrated by Simon Roy A man wakes in a […]

Review: Furious #3

By | Mar 28, 2014 | Reviews

“Furious” impressed us with an intense first issue, throwing a spotlight on a misunderstood superhero who just wants to do right. But it’s not just the tabloids that denounce her; there are personal vendettas against Furious, and this issue exposes the most terrifying among them. Written by Bryan J. L. Glass Illustrated by Victor Santos […]

Review: Blackout #1

By | Mar 27, 2014 | Reviews

Straight from the pages of “Dark Horse Presents”, this interdimensional superhero now has his own four-part miniseries. Only Scott Travers isn’t really a superhero – not yet, anyway. He’s just a guy who’s found a suit with amazing powers, and if he uses it to unearth some much-needed answers, so much the better. Written by […]

Review: Ghost Cop #3

By | Mar 21, 2014 | Reviews

This supernatural noir from Antarctic Press comes to a crowded close, hitting some new highs but leaving us with a sense of unfinished business. Written by Justin Boyd, V.J. Boyd Illustrated by Christian DiBari Ghost cop Tom Fraley stands alone, his allies fallen like so many dominoes, while the serial killer who took Tom’s earthly […]

Review: The Fuse #2

By | Mar 20, 2014 | Reviews

“The Fuse” made a good first impression, setting up a lively sci-fi world and a familiar buddy-cop dynamic. But as the plot thickens, the sheer amount of exposition required is slowing things down. Written by Antony Johnston Illustrated by Justin Greenwood “THE RUSSIA SHIFT,” Part Two Two dead cablers. Two MCPD murder police. One of […]
