“Emanon”

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 28, 2018 | Reviews

Music and comics aren’t frequent bedfellows, but when they come together, it is often a satisfying experience. Lately, we’ve been seen more and more artists work with comic publishers to make companion pieces or adaptations of their works. Musicians like Gerard Way and Max Bemis have forged second careers out of their comics writing, whereas […]

“Illegal”

By Alea Perez | Aug 27, 2018 | Reviews

“Illegal”, a graphic novel best suited for middle graders and up, aims to remove the political and the “us” versus “them” mentality that is so prevalent in nationalist narratives and sets out to reintroduce the humanity of those less fortunate with whom we share the world.

“Mr. and Mrs. X” #2

By Jaina Hill | Aug 24, 2018 | Reviews

The fact that “Mr. and Mrs. X” works at all is something of a miracle. Then again, the “X-Men” line as a whole is consistently miraculous. It has the most bloated and complicated cast of characters this side of the Legion of Superheroes, and the most complicated history this side of Hawkman yet it somehow […]

The year: 1095. The place: Constantinople. The job: Break into the most heavily guarded library in Constantinople and steal four ancient texts unseen.

“Labyrinth Coronation” #6

By Robbie Pleasant | Aug 24, 2018 | Reviews

Whatever the reason, we’ve had several comics based off the works of Jim Henson as of late. “The Storyteller,” “Dark Crystal,” even “Fraggle Rock” comics are coming out, so of course “Labyrinth” has to join them. But rather than simply adapt the movie (which, let’s face it, would only work if it included a copy […]

“Black Hammer: Age of Doom” #4

By Michael Mazzacane | Aug 23, 2018 | Reviews

By Gustavo S Lodi | Aug 23, 2018 | Reviews

Readers of the recently concluded “Detective Comics” run by James Tynion IV should not be surprised that “Justice League Dark” continues to showcase the writer’s ability to juggle a large cast, manage iconic heroes and expand on their relationships, usually in surprising ways.

You might love the sausage but would you like to know how it is made? Though nostalgic in spirit Jiro Taniguchi’s “A Zoo in the Winter” avoids the trap of romanticism as it explores the author’s early years as a mangaka. It is a work that is both human and humane. Written and Illustrated by […]

“A Sea of Love”

By Jonathan O'Neal | Aug 20, 2018 | Reviews

Lion Forge adds another wonderful entry to its Magnetic Collection line by republishing Un Océan d’amour, originally released in France in 2014. Since the story is presented wordlessly over its 224 pages, the folks at Lion Forge didn’t have to do much (or any) translating for English-speaking readers, but this is not just an anecdotal […]

“Crowded” #1

By Jaina Hill | Aug 17, 2018 | Reviews

Predicting the future is a tricky thing. If you allow yourself to become too rooted in the present moment, you lose the chance to say something universal. That’s the tricky line walked by “Crowded.” A comic about Kickstarter and Uber and Tinder runs the risk of instantly dating itself. Fortunately, “Crowded” is about more than […]

Let’s face it, it feels like a long time since we have seen “Astonishing X-Men”‘s X and the original X-Men.
