“Pearl” #1

By | Aug 16, 2018 | Reviews

There are certain creative teams in comics that become known as top quality, trend-setting dynamic duos. Pairings of writers and artists that defy the usual job and role assignation, with collaboration flowing sideways instead of any sort of vertical mandate.

“Memoirs of A Very Stable Genius”

By | Aug 14, 2018 | Reviews

It feels like at least half of my graphic novel choices this year have been based on how wacky the title strikes me. Since I had such wonderful luck with “Get Naked” and “Kabul Disco”, how could I possibly pass up “Memoirs of A Very Stable Genius?” There was zero chance I’d let this slip […]

“Wonder Woman” #52

By | Aug 10, 2018 | Reviews

The simple, sweet progression of friendship between Mayfly and Diana in last issue was extremely effective. Between Steve Orlando’s demonstration of his grasp of Diana’s character and Laura Braga’s delicately powerful illustration, “Wonder Woman” #51 hit it out of the park.
