By Michelle White | Jan 30, 2015 | Reviews

The first issue of “They’re Not Like Us” came out around Christmas, which is probably why this eagle-eyed comic reviewer failed to realize it existed.

Pick of the Week: We Opt to Take the Deal With “The Dying and the Dead” #1 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 29, 2015 | Reviews

There are few creators in all of comics that can sell me with a single sentence pitch like Jonathan Hickman can, and while I haven’t heard him describe “The Dying and the Dead” in such terms, you could say this is a book about what exactly death means. A big idea like that makes for […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 28, 2015 | Reviews

“Robert Moses: The Master Builder of New York City” is a Gorgeous Look at a Complicated Life [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 26, 2015 | Reviews

All too often, a biography gives an author a chance to demonize or sanctify the life of its subject. It is the rare biography that can attempt to tell a balanced view of a life, without trying too hard to lean one way or the other. For that reason alone, “Robert Moses: The Master Builder […]

Five Thoughts On Constantine’s “Quid Pro Quo” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Jan 24, 2015 | Reviews

After last week’s return for Constantine with a sadly, to me, rather disappointing episode, the home stretch to the end of the first (and at this point, possibly only) season is upon us. Dialing things down a notch from the craziness of the two-parter “Saint Of Last Resorts” that seemed to bend over backwards to […]
