By Matthew Blair | Oct 3, 2019 | Reviews

If “Strange Skies Over East Berlin” #1 is a Cold War spy thriller mixed with a healthy dose of an alien invasion story. It’s an interesting idea to get a glimpse of what Cold War science fiction and alien paranoia must have looked like from the other side of the Iron Curtain. To put it […]

“The Way of the Househusband” Vol. 1

By Kerry Erlanger | Oct 2, 2019 | Reviews

“The Way of the Househusband” is funny – and not necessarily in the way that I expected it to be. It’s subtle, not overt. The gist of the series is this: a former notorious yakuza member, nicknamed “The Immortal Dragon,” has left his life of violent crime in favor of a quieter lifestyle as a […]

“Deep Breaths”

By Rowan Grover | Sep 30, 2019 | Reviews

Melbourne comic creator Chris Gooch came leaping into the international comics scene back in 2017 with his debut graphic novel, “Bottled”, which combined tense storytelling with raw, emotional visuals.

Dr. Mirage #2 title

“Doctor Mirage” #2

By Matthew Blair | Sep 27, 2019 | Reviews

When I first read “Doctor Mirage” #2 I was reminded of the 1932 Universal monster movie The Mummy. In many ways, the comic evokes the old school pulpy horror of the Boris Karloff vehicle with its adventure tone, exotic location, and emphasis on ancient and esoteric Egyptian magic and mysticism. However, while “Doctor Mirage” #2 […]

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 24, 2019 | Reviews

When a creator has a body of work underneath their belt, it can be easy to draw parallels to prior works, or group books together by theme.
