“Batman: Rebirth” #1

By | Jun 3, 2016 | Reviews

Essentially, “Batman: Rebirth” is a transitory issue, one last chance for Scott Snyder to turn the keys over to the new regular “Batman” writer, Tom King. What should feel like a fluid segue, as yet another mainstream corporately-owned superhero character goes into a new iteration, reads more like a defeated sigh toward what’s ahead. Written […]

“Strange Attractors” #1

By | Jun 2, 2016 | Reviews

Once a graphic novel that helped kickstart its writer’s comic career, Charles Soule and Greg Scott’s “Strange Attractors” is now being re-released as a five-issue mini-series. As someone who dug Soule’s “Swamp Thing”, “She-Hulk” & interested/frustrated with his “Inhumans”, thought I’d give a gander. How does it hold up? Let’s take a look. Written by […]

But with a first experience like “Ojingogo”, it was hard to resist the quiet allure of “The Arrival”. Shaun Tan’s tale of a man’s adventures in a fantastical city is lively, heartwarming, and worthy of multiple reads. […]
