Remembering Amalgam: “Challengers of the Fantastic” #1

By Drew Bradley | Sep 14, 2020 | Reviews

The retro review journey through Amalgam continues today with “Challengers of the Fantastic”, a team teased in 1996’s “Spider Boy” and featuring a kinda-sorta sub-plot crossover with 1997’s “Spider-Boy Team Up”. The Mash Up On one side, you have the four-person team created by Jack Kirby for DC in 1957, the Challengers of the Unknown. […]

“Angel Sanctuary Vol 3 & 4”

By Justin McGuire | Sep 14, 2020 | Reviews

With biblical and mythological stories, some writers research deeply into the original sources to create a cerebral and carefully footnoted piece of art. The best example of this style is Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, which came from his own internal concordances across dozens, or maybe hundreds, of mythologies. Kaori Yuki is on the other side of […]

“Super Mario Adventures”

By Frida Keränen | Sep 14, 2020 | Reviews

When a video game gets adapted into comic form, the genre and mechanics of the game often present unique challenges compared to comic adaptations of movies or television. Games with linear and fleshed-out storylines might be relatively easy to adapt, but in the case of many games, their charm lies somewhere else than the plot. […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 09/09/2020

By Rowan Grover | Sep 14, 2020 | Reviews

There’s a lot to cover on Wednesdays. We should know, as collectively, we read an insane amount of comics. Even with a large review staff, it’s hard to get to everything. With that in mind, we’re back with Wrapping Wednesday, where we look at some of the books we missed in what was another great […]

“Cyberpunk 2077 Trauma Team” #1

By Matthew Blair | Sep 11, 2020 | Reviews

I don’t follow video games for reasons that we will not get into here, but even I’m aware of CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 through the considerable amount of hype that it’s generated. I’ll admit, the idea of playing through an incredibly detailed and fantastic cyberpunk world sounds like a lot of fun. However, I’m […]

“The Rise of Ultraman” #1

By John Schaidler | Sep 11, 2020 | Reviews

With 42 pages of great content by three different creative teams, “The Rise of Ultraman” #1 is a jam-packed, rollicking read. (Warning: may contain minor spoilers.)

“Detective Comics: A Lonely Place of Living”

By Joe Skonce | Sep 10, 2020 | Reviews

At the core of most superheroes is a desire to make their city (or world) a better place to live. Yet, despite this shared desire to keep others safe, most superhero conflicts arise when the heroes debate the “how” of improving the world. One of the continued successes of “Detective Comics” is exploring the tensions […]

“Stealth” #5

By Kobi Bordoley | Sep 10, 2020 | Reviews

“Stealth” #5 strikes an even balance between action, backstory, and rising tension. These elements are superhero hallmarks, and we’re happy to see “Stealth” #5 excel on all fronts. This is the penultimate issue of the series, and the pacing feels tight — this is where we should be before the finale. The table has been […]

“Be Gay, Do Comics”

By Justin McGuire | Sep 10, 2020 | Reviews

“Be Gay, Do Comics” opens with a comic by Joey Alison Sayers about the ultimate “gender reveal party gone wrong,” which is my favorite genre of videos on YouTube. It’s followed by Kendra Wells giving a few less-fatal, but not wholly nonfatal, options for a gender reveal party. The point is, in a world where […]

“Reaver” #11

By Joe Skonce | Sep 10, 2020 | Reviews

There’s a part of everyone that wants to go back to an idyllic past, a time in our life when things were simple, but that’s easier said than done. Instead of going for some unattainable past, there’s an opportunity to take the lessons you’ve learned and try to improve the world. In a way, it […]

“Stargazer” #1

By Christa Harader | Sep 10, 2020 | Reviews

“Stargazer” #1 takes a pretty standard alien abduction story and makes it just a bit weirder, to decent effect. Warning: spoilers ahead. Written by Anthony Cleveland Illustrated by Antonio Fuso Colored by Stefano Simeone Lettered by Justin Birch Years ago Shae, her brother Kenny, and two childhood friends experienced a traumatic, unexplainable event that left […]

“The Manhattan Projects” Volume 5

By Luke Cornelius | Sep 9, 2020 | Reviews

Welcome to our Summer Comics Binge of “The Manhattan Projects” by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra. I’ve read work by both creators before, namely Hickman’s X title relaunch and half of “East of West” (that’s on hold until I finish “The Manhattan Projects”), and Pitarra’s short-lived “Leviathan.” I’ll be reviewing a volume of the series […]

Remembering Amalgam: Spider-Boy Team-Up

By Drew Bradley | Sep 7, 2020 | Reviews

This review kicks off the second half our journey through Amalgam. I rather enjoyed the 1996 ”Spider-Boy” #1, so I had high hopes going into “Spider-Boy Team-Up”. It ended up being very different, but it didn’t disappoint. The Mash Up Obviously, we’re sticking with the Spider-Man and Superboy combo, but this issue introduces the Legion […]

“Flake”

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Sep 7, 2020 | Reviews

This review contains minor spoilers. Earlier this year, Matthew Dooley’s debut graphic novel “Flake” became the first comic book to win the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize, the UK’s only literary award for comedy literature. It is, indeed, a very funny book, but it’s also a somber reflection on the mundanity of working class life in […]

By Kate Kosturski | Sep 5, 2020 | Reviews

Throughout the Spurrier arcs of “Star Wars: Doctor Aphra,” our title character finds herself in slowly escalating situations she can’t easily resolve with charm and ambiguous morals.

Five Thoughts on Marvel’s Avengers: Reassemble

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Sep 4, 2020 | Reviews

This review is based on impressions during 72-hour early access, and beta gameplay, while using the PlayStation 4. There’s a lot of pressure on Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montréal’s Avengers video game to succeed: it’s not just following in the footsteps of the enormously successful movies, and Insomniac’s brilliant 2018 Spider-Man game, it’s also […]
