Isu Codices, Volume 6: Catching up with “Assassin’s Creed”

By Gregory Ellner | Mar 12, 2018 | Annotations

It’s been . . . let’s check . . . five months since our last meeting. In our defense, we were just waiting for the newest comics to come by. There have been plenty of developments, in no small part thanks to the information coming out of Assassin’s Creed: Origins regarding the initialization of the […]

Go Beyond #12 – A ‘Plus Ultra’ Analysis of “My Hero Academia”

By Darcy Forrester | Mar 7, 2018 | Annotations

With a total of four chapters, indicative of a regular release schedule, this month’s content from mangaka Kōhei Horikoshi has a lot on offer that should be appreciated but could easily be overlooked. Although the series may have stepped away from high-octane action from the time being, this does not diminish the quality of the […]

Hell Notes: Messiah

By Christopher Lewis, Mike Romeo, Brian Salvatore and Mark Tweedale | Feb 21, 2018 | Annotations

Spoiler warning: If you haven’t yet read “B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know” #5, then major spoilers lie ahead. Actually, after a certain article ran on Entertainment Weekly last week, it’s going to be hard to dodge spoilers until the release of the “B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know—Messiah” trade paperback in April, so be careful out […]

Welcome to “Keeping a Watch on Doomsday Clock,” our column dedicated to annotating the first ever DCU/Watchmen crossover that most of us probably didn’t need but is here nonetheless! Since this 12-issue maxiseries relies so heavily on “Watchmen,” a comic that has a ton to unpack in itself, there are a lot of details and […]

Go Beyond #11 – A ‘Plus Ultra’ Analysis of “My Hero Academia”

By Darcy Forrester | Feb 7, 2018 | Annotations

In stark contrast to last month’s two chapters, this most recent set of “My Hero Academia” content consists of five chapters, with which I will look to discuss in detail. While none of these chapters was particularly action-packed, I would be doing mangaka Kōhei Horikoshi’s fantastic writing a disservice if I didn’t highlight the plethora […]

Go Beyond #10 – A ‘Plus Ultra’ Analysis of “My Hero Academia”

By Darcy Forrester | Jan 3, 2018 | Annotations

Because of the holiday season, “Weekly Shōnen Jump” has had a particularly irregular release schedule over the last month. As a result of this, there are only two chapters of mangaka Kōhei Horikoshi’s “My Hero Academia” to discuss through this analysis. As such, while I will begin by doing this, I will then look to […]

Go Beyond #9 – A ‘Plus Ultra’ Analysis of “My Hero Academia”

By Darcy Forrester | Dec 6, 2017 | Annotations

For several months now, Kōhei Horikoshi’s “My Hero Academia” has appeared to be on the cusp of finishing its current story arc. This prolonged ending has come as a result of the serious threat posed by Overhaul, the young leader of the Shie Hassaikai, to the success of the heroes’ joint venture. After all, while […]

Another month of mangaka Kōhei Horikoshi’s “My Hero Academia” has come and gone – with a full compliment of 4 chapters to digest – and still the current arc has yet to reach a definitive conclusion. While the most recent chapter certainly ended with a smash, we’ll have to wait until next month’s chapters to […]

Due to another one-week break, brought about by another brief illness for series’ mangaka Kōhei Horikoshi, we have received just three fantastic chapters of “My Hero Academia” over the last month. As I discussed in the previous instalment, of “Go Beyond,” the refocusing of the story toward the exploits of Lemillion and Overhaul indicated that […]

Since the time of my last analysis, we have received 3 more chapters of mangaka Kōhei Horikoshi’s “My Hero Academia.” In these three chapters (numbered 149 through 151), it would appear as if we’re reaching the climax of the current story arc. The Shie Hassaikai Director and source of the labyrinth, Joi ‘Mimic’ Irinaka, was […]

In the past month, “My Hero Academia” has celebrated the 3rd anniversary of its’ serialisation in “Weekly Shōnen Jump.” However, at a time when both “One Piece” and “Weekly Shōnen Jump” itself are also celebrating anniversaries far exceeding that of MHA’s three years (20 and 49 years respectively), this may seem like a trivial milestone.
