Mignolaversity: “Cojacaru the Skinner” #1

By | Apr 21, 2021 | Reviews

Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden’s Outerverse continues to expand with the ‘Tales from the Outervese.’ It’s almost strange seeing this banner along the top of a new comic, proclaiming it’s part of a shared universe when for so long “Baltimore” and “Joe Golem: Occult Detective” were extremely subtle about it, almost to the point that […]

“Phantom on the Scan” #1

By | Apr 15, 2021 | Reviews

Horror in comic books can be weird, and sometimes very disappointing. On one hand, the limitations of the medium can cripple a good story and stop it from being truly scary. It’s a genre that is dependent on proper timing and sound cues to really scare its audience, which are two things that can’t really […]

“Geiger” #1

By | Apr 9, 2021 | Reviews

We’re really impressed with “Geiger” #1, which combines the best of Mad Max, The Road, and I Am Legend to deliver a stand out superhero story. “Geiger” #1 manages to sustain a world which mixes over the top, campy, high velocity elements with austere character drama.
