“Sonic The Hedgehog” #6

By Tom Baker | Jun 29, 2018 | Reviews

“Sex Criminals” #25

By Jaina Hill | Jun 28, 2018 | Reviews

“Sex Criminals” is funny. “Sex Criminals” is sad. But one thing “Sex Criminals” rarely is, is romantic. That’s never really been in its playbook. This is a story less interested in looking at the wonderful power of love than it is in the hard work. Relationships are defined by patience and hard won communication. That’s […]

“X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills”

By Edward Haynes | Jun 26, 2018 | Reviews

The first original graphic novel to bear the “X-Men” name, and Marvel’s fifth OGN, is uncomfortably prescient in today’s political and social climate. The X-Men, and mutants, have always been used as a somewhat crude metaphor for really existing marginalised groups, and in “God Loves, Man Kills,” Chris Claremont and Brent Anderson place mutant discrimination […]

“EXO”

By Jonathan O'Neal | Jun 25, 2018 | Reviews

EXO is shorthand for Exoplanet Explorations, the NASA program concerned with the search for life on other planets, and the program and all the late-20th Century romanticism it conveys, is at the heart of Humanoids’s English translation of this Franco-Belgian graphic novel. Written by Jerry Frissen Illustrated by Philippe Scoffoni Flatted by Vincent Grière Translated […]

“Tank Girl All Stars” #1

By Christopher Egan | Jun 22, 2018 | Reviews

There will always be a place for post-nuclear wastelands and dystopian societies in storytelling. Comic books have featured them for decades and they are usually serious action packed adventures or depressing think pieces. “Tank Girl” has always stood apart from this. Action packed, yes, but full of quirky humor and ridiculous antics from our heroes. […]

“Tony Stark: Iron Man” #1

By Jaina Hill | Jun 22, 2018 | Reviews

There have been a lot of good Iron Man stories over the years but very few writers have been able to capture the essence of the character.

“Lost City Explorers” #1

By Rowan Grover | Jun 21, 2018 | Reviews

Adventure comics are a genre that feels somewhat underrepresented in comics. With the market dominated by superheroes and sci-fi, there are few comics out there that seek in their main goal to explore a fantastical new environment. In “Lost City Explorers”, creators Zack Kaplan, Alvaro Sarraseca, Chris Blythe and Troy Peteri resurface the age-old myth […]
