“Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden” – Volume 8

By | Aug 6, 2019 | Reviews

This is volume eight, the penultimate volume, and our heroine has hit her nadir, abandoned by friends, lost. In a traditionally-structured shorter story, this would be near the start of the third act instead of butting against the end, but the three-act story-telling framework doesn’t lay quite so evenly on top of an episodic and […]

“X-Factor” #237-245

By | Aug 5, 2019 | Reviews

As we start to wrap up our massive binge read of “X-Factor,” the series is becoming an ultra-concentrated version of itself. A lot of the dated politics are coming into sharper focus. Peter David’s character work has always been stellar, and he continues to swing for the fences. We get to see a lot of […]

“Countdown” #38-33

By | Aug 5, 2019 | Reviews

Another week, another chunk of “Countdown” issues to suffer through. It feels unfair to be saying too much about the art, as we’re clearly at the point where the book’s strict weekly schedule is beginning to take its toll. Some artists like Jesus Saiz and David Lopez are dealing with it alright, though certainly not […]
