Pick of the Week: “Exiles” #1

By Jaina Hill | Apr 12, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

“Exiles” #1 does more in a single issue than most comics series do in six. More than that, it navigates complex continuity with aplomb and uses the storytelling medium for its full effect. A team of universe-hopping misfits was always going to be a fun comic. What’s impressive is the level of technical prowess Saladin […]

“Get Naked”

By Rodney Ortiz | Apr 10, 2018 | Reviews

I picked up “Get Naked,” by Steven T. Seagle, on a whim. Mostly because it was titled “Get Naked.” Immediately thoughts of old “Benny Hill” hijinks ran through my mind. Why was Benny Hill the first place I went? I have no idea, my mind is a strange place sometimes. But the idea put a […]

“The Inking Woman”

By Edward Haynes | Apr 9, 2018 | Reviews

Comics can feel like a monoculture at times. They are, of course, not. Discussions of the history of comics generally centre around hypermasculine cape comics and their male creators. But there is an alternative mainstream; there have always been non-superhero comics and there have always been women cartoonists making great art. In Anglophile comics culture […]

Brenden Fletcher and Karl Kerschl bring us “Isola,” the series originally announced at 2016’s Image Expo. Yes, it’s been a longer wait than expected, but I assure you, the wait was worth it.

“Analog” #1

By Rowan Grover | Apr 6, 2018 | Reviews

Gerry Duggan has proved with his mainstream work that he’s a diverse writer. Having handled successful runs from “Deadpool” to “Nova” and even “Guardians of the Galaxy,” he’s someone who’s taken the the time to understand what makes these kinds of comics work and keep his distinct tone running underneath. So what happens when he […]

“Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows” #2

By Gustavo S Lodi | Apr 6, 2018 | Reviews

“Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows” can be described as an homage to the Golden Age of comics, a re-exploration of aging heroes, a deconstruction of the super-powered genre as regular inhabitants of regular cities. But all of that would miss its true core, that of the consequences of obsessions and of parenthood […]

“The Curse of Brimstone” #1

By Gregory Ellner | Apr 6, 2018 | Reviews

Though seeming to be DC’s latest answer to Marvel’s Ghost Rider, “The Curse of Brimstone” #1 seems promising enough to separate itself from the competition. Written by Justin Jordan Illustrated by Philip Tan Colored by Rain Beredo Lettered by Wes Abbott Joe Chamberlain would do anything to save his small, forgotten town—even make a deal […]

“The Wicked + the Divine” #35

By Jaina Hill | Apr 6, 2018 | Reviews

It’s no secret that I am in the running for world’s biggest fan of “The Wicked + the Divine,” but I am aware that the comic isn’t perfect. While it regularly blows my mind with gorgeous images, plot twists, and fantastic character beats, it just as often perplexes me with its measured but confusing storytelling. […]

“Corto Maltese: The Golden House of Samakand”

By Tom Shapira | Apr 3, 2018 | Reviews

A specter is hunting Corto Maltese. Be it the recurring image of his lookalike, the mysterious Chevket who seems to be anywhere, or the tumultuous nationalist spirits that awaken in cetral Asia of the early 20th century it seems Corto is not going to get a moment’s rest.
