By Elias Rosner | Aug 9, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Vertigo, once a star. . .THE star imprint of the comics world, dimmed late last year. It had been dimming for years, occasionally brightening up before being obscured by other titles and lines, but this was something different. All its titles were mini-series and nothing was upcoming. Nothing until “The Sandman Universe.” The Vertigo star […]

“Saga” #1

By Justin Beeson | Aug 7, 2018 | Reviews

“Saga” co-creators Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples surprised everyone late last month with the announcement that the series would be going on hiatus for “at least the next year” after the just-released issue #54. “Saga” started right around the time I really started getting back into comics, so it’s been a constant staple in my […]

“Mister Miracle” #10

By Jonathan O'Neal | Aug 3, 2018 | Reviews

Arriving on shelves like a comic book version of an inky black singularity, “Mister Miracle” #10 features a cover by Nick Derington that finally depicts the evil lord of Apokolips in all his menacing glory. The image is inverted, like a photographic negative—an anti-image for the keeper of the anti-life equation. Inside, Tom King subverts […]

“Justice League” #5

By Jacob Nuckolls | Aug 3, 2018 | Reviews

“No Justice” is undoubtedly one of the best things to happen to the Justice League in quite some time. Scott Snyder and company have breathed new life into a series that was formerly considered dead in the water (a lackluster film release did little to help the JLA out). This creative team succeeded in reminding […]

“Star Wars” #52

By Jaina Hill | Aug 3, 2018 | Reviews

When the “Star Wars” comics changed hands from Jason Aaron to Kieron Gillen, they changed completely. Anyone who has ever followed my reviews knows that I am the world’s number one fan of Kieron’s work, but something about his voice felt ill suited for the voices of Han, Leia, and Luke. This is the issue […]
