“The Mantle” #1 by Brisson and Level Has Superheroes, Is Meta [Review]

By Michelle White | May 15, 2015 | Reviews

Do we really need another superhero story that plays with the tropes of the genre? Maybe not. (So far as I’m concerned, “Watchmen” cornered that market a long time ago.)

Robinson Soars Into The Gutter With “Airboy” #1 [Advance Review]

By Greg Matiasevich | May 12, 2015 | Reviews

James Robinson may be sick of rebooting Golden Age characters, but that disdain might have just lead him and collaborator Greg Hinkle to some of his best work ever in “Airboy”.

“Broken World” #1 Offers a Chance at Escape [Advance Review]

By Brian Salvatore | May 11, 2015 | Reviews

Frank Barbiere is a creator that has taken incredible strides in the past few years – “Five Ghosts” #1 came out 26 months ago, and now the guy is seemingly all over comics. “Broken World” is his new miniseries at BOOM!, and the tone and execution are both quite different than what we’ve seen from […]

“Figment” is an All-Ages Journey into Imagination [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | May 8, 2015 | Reviews

The Marvel and Disney partnership has led to far fewer collaborations that I had originally anticipated. Sure, Big Hero 6 happened, but the crossover hasn’t been nearly as intense as I expected. The one exception to that is the Disney Kingdoms line of comics, which take concepts from the theme parks and turn them into […]

Dead Drop #1

“Dead Drop” #1 Will Leave You Wanting More [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | May 7, 2015 | Reviews

With the serialised nature of comic books, I think there’s a tendency to want to tell these grand, intricate stories with ensemble casts and impossibly complex plots and while comics is definitely a great medium for those stories, “Dead Drop” #1 from Ales Kot and Adam Gorham shows that it’s also a great place for […]
