Pick of the Week: “Miles Morales: Spider-Man” #1

By Jaina Hill | Dec 13, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Miles Morales is here to stay! That’s been the case for a while, but every time Miles scores himself another series (or a feature film!) I breathe a sigh of relief. That’s because Marvel has a tendency to forget about characters not created by Lee, Ditko, and Kirby. When Brian Michael “Big Shot” Bendis was […]

Pick of the Week: “Die” #1

By Alexander Jones | Dec 6, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Writer Kieron Gillen has an impressive amount of fanfare behind his work as a creator.

By Gustavo S Lodi | Nov 22, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Continuing his character-defining run on “Venom,” Donny Cates explores who is perhaps his greatest nemesis, the psycho-killer known as Canarge.

Pick of the Week: “Bitter Root” #1

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Nov 15, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Bring together the Harlem Renaissance, racism, and supernatural action, “Bitter Root” #1 is an exciting first issue from David F. Walker, Chuck Brown, and Sanford Greene.

Pick of the Week: “The Green Lantern” #1

By Jonathan O'Neal | Nov 8, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

As the resident shaman of superhero storytelling, Grant Morrison likely needs no introduction for fans of the medium. His stewardship pf DC’s iconic characters have been hallmarked by a trippy zen-inspired pop psychology and a flair for bronze-age vérité crossed with silver-age ridiculousness, and he brings that trademark style to “The Green Lantern,” arriving on […]

Nancy Drew #5 - Featured

Pick of the Week: “Nancy Drew” #5

Pick of the Week: “Books of Magic” #1

By Michael Mazzacane | Oct 25, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. An awkward British teenager with glasses is destined to become the greatest or worst magician of all time. Sounds familiar right? Well, you haven’t quite read that story like this. Written by Kat Howard Illustrated by Tom Fowler Colored by Jordan Boyd Lettered by Todd Klein From […]

Exorsisters #1 Featured

Pick of the Week: “Exorsisters” #1

By Gregory Ellner | Oct 18, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

If you’re somehow glad, and it all looks good, who you gonna call? When it come to infernal menaces, “Exorsisters” #1 shows you could do far worse than the Harrow twins’ mix of intelligence and humor to combat a surreal look at Hell. Written by Ian Boothby Illustrated by Gisèle Lagacé Colored by Pete Pantazis […]

Pick of the Week: “Murder Falcon” #1

By Rowan Grover | Oct 11, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Daniel Warren Johnson became something of an Image Comics star with his 12-issue series “Extremity” last year, but he hasn’t stopped creating. On the surface, Johnson’s new series “Murder Falcon” may seem overly brash, it may seem silly, and it might look like the overconfident battle cry of an artist at the top of his […]

Champions-25-featured

Pick of the Week: “Champions” #25

By Robbie Pleasant | Oct 4, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

The Champions take a little detour from the world of Marvel superheroes to a world of fantasy. With some of my favorite characters entering my favorite genre, an experienced writer behind the helm and an art team that knows just how to work with the style, it’s a fine choice for our Pick of the […]

MAN-EATERS-01-featured

Pick of the Week: “Man-Eaters” #1

By John Schaidler | Sep 27, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

After the high profile cancellation of “Mockingbird” and subsequent non-release of her run for “The Vision” with Marvel, twice-bitten writer Chelsea Cain and The Ministry of Trouble were left with some serious unfinished business. With “Man-Eaters” #1, Cain and her cohorts are back. This isn’t your father’s comic. Seek shelter immediately. (Warning: contains minor spoilers.) Written […]

Pick of the Week: “Olivia Twist” #1

By Jaina Hill | Sep 20, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

“Olivia Twist” is the latest series to join Berger Books, the excellent imprint helmed by comic book legend Karen Berger. Its own solicit identifies it as “A Girl Power Epic!” The first issue works hard to be worthy of that claim, but truly that is only scratching the surface. “Olivia Twist” is a busy book. […]

Pick of the Week: “Archie 1941” #1

By Alexander Jones | Sep 13, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

“Archie 1941” is a curious comic book starring the famous pop culture icon on the year he debuted. The series is a return to form for the characters, but will likely bear a more serious tone than some readers will anticipate. Author Mark Waid is no stranger to Archie and for this monumental task, he […]

Cosmic_Ghost_Rider_3_FeatureVariant

Pick of the Week: “Cosmic Ghost Rider” #3

By Christopher Egan | Sep 6, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Once every so often, a comic book arc comes out that is unexpected and bizarre, but surprisingly welcome. Now, “Cosmic Ghost Rider” is that story and it is so much fun. I don’t know what we did to deserve such an excellent action adventure coated in inky black humor, but I won’t question it. Some […]

Pick of the Week: “Extermination” #2

By Gustavo S Lodi | Aug 30, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

“Extermination” started very strong only two weeks ago, setting up the story that will, allegedly, return the original five X-Men to their point in the timeline. Strong character moments, surprising reveals, and beautiful art were the highlights then and, while those same aspects remain on this second entry, they do lose some of their impact […]

West-Coast-Avengers-Cover-Featured

Pick of the Week: “West Coast Avengers” #1

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Aug 23, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

“West Coast Avengers” #1 picks up where Kelly Thompson left off bringing Kate Bishop and her supporting cast into a team book, with art from Stefano Caselli, and the trappings of a reality TV show. Read on for thoughts on Marvels new, fun team up book, but be warned, as there will be some spoilers. […]

coda-4-featured

Pick of the Week: “Coda” #4

By Jonathan O'Neal | Aug 16, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

There’s something really special going on in the pages of Simon Spurrier and Matias Bergara’s “Coda.” After singing the premier issue’s praises three months ago, I was a bit hesitant to jump into the successive issues, worried that the story would not live up to the promise of that first issue, but my fears were […]

Sandman-Universe-Cover-Jae-Lee-Banner

Pick of the Week: “The Sandman Universe” #1

By Elias Rosner | Aug 9, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Vertigo, once a star. . .THE star imprint of the comics world, dimmed late last year. It had been dimming for years, occasionally brightening up before being obscured by other titles and lines, but this was something different. All its titles were mini-series and nothing was upcoming. Nothing until “The Sandman Universe.” The Vertigo star […]

Green-Arrow-43 Featured

Pick of the Week: “Green Arrow” #43

By Michael Mazzacane | Aug 2, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

One of the nicest things to come out of the Rebirth era was “Green Arrow.” Ben Percy and Otto Schmidt turned in an excellent book during their time with the character. Now after a series of fill in teams, the Benson Sisters, Julie and Shawna, of The 100 and “Batgirl and the Birds of Prey,” […]

Justice League Dark #1 Featured

Pick of the Week: “Justice League Dark” #1

By Gregory Ellner | Jul 26, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

Though far less “dark” than the series that originally gave its name, “Justice League Dark” is shaping up to be an interesting look into the mystical corners of the DC Universe. Written by James Tynion IV Illustrated by Alvaro Martínez Bueno Colored by Brad Anderson Lettered by Rob Leigh From the pages of JUSTICE LEAGUE: […]
