Pick of the Week: Hit #1

By | Sep 5, 2013 | Reviews

One of the words I’m liable to overuse when I write reviews is “noirish” – and no, it isn’t really even a word at that. But when there’s a quality out there you really like, you look for it everywhere, and when Boom! Studios comes up with a miniseries that’s so noirish it hurts, you […]

Review: Lazarus #3

By | Aug 30, 2013 | Reviews

The first and second issues of “Lazarus” blew us away, crafting an enthralling post-apocalyptic world and populating it with a diverse cast of characters and more than its fair share of moral and political dilemmas. Moving forward, there are a couple of bumps along the way, but the intrigue of the plot and the scale […]

Review: Justice League #23

By | Aug 30, 2013 | Reviews

As the final issue of “Trinity War,” “Justice League” #23 accomplishes one thing extremely well; it gets everyone excited for “Forever Evil.” What it doesn’t do so well, however, is provide a satisfying conclusion to this relatively short crossover.

Corinna Bechko and Gabriel Hardman show us science gone wrong as our heroes encounter The Crawfish Brain Thing from Another Dimension!

Review: Chin Music #2

By | Aug 23, 2013 | Reviews

The first issue of “Chin Music” was a visually striking, yet unintelligible mess. What a difference slowing things down a little bit makes, because issue #2 isn’t as hamstrung with a half-a-dozen problems of coherence and unestablished settings. Decompressing things makes for a story that is close to finding some footing, even if it’s not […]
