“Leviathan Dawn” #1

By | Feb 27, 2020 | Reviews

Writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Alex Maleev did not craft a true ending to “Event Leviathan.” Instead of wrapping up the story of Leviathan, “Event Leviathan” #6’s final page featured the rebooted spy organization plotting their next steps. Leviathan teased that something even more insidious was on the way and that “Event Leviathan” was […]

“Fantastic Four: Grimm Noir” #1

By | Feb 27, 2020 | Reviews

Even before I knew what comic books were, I loved Ben Grimm. When I was about six years old, I traded one of my toys for a The Thing action figure. He was covered in sand, and missing part of his arm, but he captured my imagination. He was big and strong and orange. He […]

“Hidden Society” #1

By | Feb 27, 2020 | Reviews

There has been no shortage of stories that convey the idea of the hidden, magical world underneath the supposedly mundane one we occupy. Ever since Harry Potter hit us hard in the late 90s, this style of narrative has been explored nearly to the point of exhaustion. So what does “Hidden Society” have to say […]

“Isle of Dogs”

By | Feb 24, 2020 | Reviews

Beneath the carefully constructed artifices of every Wes Anderson film- the beautiful art design, the symmetric, storybook-like cinematography, and the deadpan, pithy humor, beats a heart aching with melancholy. His most recent work, 2018’s stop-motion animated Isle of Dogs, is no exception. In it, a Japanese boy tries to reunite with his canine companion in […]

“2020 Machine Man” #1

By | Feb 21, 2020 | Reviews

The robot revolution is finally here! No longer will we review comics focused on the superheroes of the human oppressors! It is time for a robot hero to step into the limelight. I am, of course, talking about…no, not the Vision. Ultron? He’s definitely a robot but I don’t think we could ever call him […]

“Flash Forward” #6

By | Feb 21, 2020 | Reviews

“Flash Forward” became a bit of an oddity given the manner DC has chosen to advertise it, and what follows it. That said, when taken on a stand-alone basis, this final issue is still entertaining and aptly done on its own merits. Written by Scott Lobdell Pencilled by Brett Booth Inked by Norman Rapmund Colored […]

“Bang!” #1

By | Feb 21, 2020 | Reviews

Outside of his work-for-hire projects, Matt Kindt has made an impressive creator-owned career by draping familiar premises with multi-layered high concepts. A multinational special ops team of Boy Scouts. A family saga set in a separatist commune in Alaska. A murder mystery at 1000 fathoms. In “Bang!” he’s back to the old espionage stomping grounds […]

“Wolverine” #1

By | Feb 20, 2020 | Reviews

After his most recent death, Wolverine’s solo series lacked a certain level of intrigue the character desperately needs.

“The Amazing Mary Jane” #5

By | Feb 20, 2020 | Reviews

It’s always fun to find a truly weird pairing that just works. When two characters who, at least on the surface, have nothing in common, but when placed together make sense. This seems to be one of Leah Williams’ gifts, writing these pairings in such a way that makes you smack your head and say […]
