Mignolaversity: “B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know” #7

By Mark Tweedale and Christopher Lewis | Jun 13, 2018 | Reviews

Max Fiumara’s cover for the second part of the ‘Pandemonium’ arc suggests Ashley Strode’s about to step up to a bigger role in the comic, something we here at Mignolaversity have wanted since 2012. But does it deliver? Find out in our spoiler-filled review. Written by Mike Mignola and Scott Allie Illustrated by Sebastián Fiumara […]

Kabul Disco

“Kabul Disco”

By Rodney Ortiz | Jun 12, 2018 | Reviews

In these turbulent, war torn times where political opinions can stain you permanently, how do you make the war in Afghanistan both charming and amusing? Apparently, you get Nicolas Wild to tell you a first person narrative of his time there as a cartoonist. It is hard to imagine a more upbeat interpretation of Kabul, and […]

“Get Jiro!”

By Kate Kosturski | Jun 11, 2018 | Reviews

As the world mourns the passing of chef and television host Anthony Bourdain this past Friday at 61 years of age, one little-known side of his life has seen a more mainstream light: his love of comics. Bourdain was a big comic book fan and collector in his youth, unfortunately selling that collection in the […]

“The Communist Manifesto”

By Edward Haynes | Jun 11, 2018 | Reviews

As a political cartoonist for The Guardian, Martin Rowson mocks the figures of current politics. Now for the 200th birthday of legendary leftist thinker Karl Marx, Rowson turns his eye to 170-year-old politics, adapting Marx and Engels’s “Communist Manifesto” into a playful, strange, grotesque, and relevant graphic novel. Using the original text, and foregrounding Marx […]

“Halo: Collateral Damage” #1

By Gregory Ellner | Jun 8, 2018 | Reviews

Though a good dose of lore, the ability for newcomers to the franchise may be the real “collateral damage” of this Halo miniseries. Written by Alex Irvine Illustrated by David Crosland Colored by Leonard O’Grady Lettered by Simon Bowland The Master Chief and Blue Team are deployed by the UNSC to Alpha Corvi II, a […]

“Ant-Man and the Wasp” #1

By Jaina Hill | Jun 8, 2018 | Reviews

The Wasp of the MCU isn’t much fun. She’s sort of the stock MCU female character- cool, competent, and intolerant of the man-child shenanigans of her partner. In contrast, Nadia Pym has been a tremendously fun character. She’s endlessly upbeat, a super-duper genius, and a total space cadet. I couldn’t wait to see what comics […]

Swashbucklers: the Saga Continues #3 - Featured

“Swashbucklers: The Saga Continues” #3

By Elias Rosner | Jun 8, 2018 | Reviews

In the tradition of the space opera, no adventure is complete without a grand battle against a vast and seemingly unstoppable enemy. “Swashbucklers: The Saga Continues,” due its nature as a sequel, hasn’t had one of these yet. Mostly dealing with the fallout of the previous series, that all changes this month. Alliances must be […]

“The Unexpected” #1

By Gustavo S Lodi | Jun 8, 2018 | Reviews

“The Unexpected” #1, the last new series launching under the ‘New Age of Heroes’ banner by DC introduces new characters, settings and concepts, some of them based on the constructs first introduced during the ‘Metal’ event. However, as much as the creative team bursts with energy and new ideas, they also stumble in terms of […]

“The Immortal Hulk” #1

By Matt Lune | Jun 7, 2018 | Reviews

“Is he Man or Monster, or is he both?” That’s the question writer Al Ewing is looking to explore in this darker, more horrific Hulk than we’re used to lately. It’s a welcome tonal shift, however. Read on for our review of “The Immortal Hulk” #1, which does contain spoilers. Written by Al Ewing Penciled […]

“Isola” #3

By John Schaidler | Jun 7, 2018 | Reviews

“Isola” #3 continues to build slowly and purposefully. Revel in the artwork. Linger over the illustrations and strange, unfamiliar, ideogrammatic writing. Your patience will be rewarded. (Warning: minor spoilers ahead.) Written by Brenden Fletcher and Karl Kerschl Illustrated and colored by Karl Kerschl and MSassyK Lettered by Adittya Bidikar Olwyn and Rook’s paths diverge; one companion […]

Writer Rick Remender has a large amount of Image comics series and his newest title, “Death or Glory” is launching the second installment this week.

“Prism Stalker” #4

By Rowan Grover | Jun 7, 2018 | Reviews

With the revelations and pacing shift of last issue, “Prism Stalker” has felt like a must-read for me. The series combines some of the most otherworldly sci-fi elements I’ve seen with the narrative tone of an exciting Shonen Jump training season. It’s uncompromising in its world building, and presents a tough reality to readers about […]

“Swing” Vol. 1

“Sword Daughter” #1

By Matt Sadowski | Jun 7, 2018 | Reviews

A village burns, a father sleeps, and a young girl takes up the sword. The newest tale by Dark Horse comics taps into something both primordial and literary, inspired by the quietude of Japanese samurai cinema. Our review will contain minor spoilers. Written by Brian Wood Illustrated by Mack Chater Colored by Jose Villarrubia Lettered […]

Pick of the Week: “Justice League” #1

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Jun 7, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

With the four issue “Justice League: No Justice,” proceeded by “Dark Nights: Metal” before that, Scott Snyder has been setting up and working toward “Justice League” #1 for a pretty long time now. The question then is, has all of that build up been worth it? Does Snyder’s work here, along with the pencils from […]

Mignolaversity: “Koshchei the Deathless” #6

By Mark Tweedale and Christopher Lewis | Jun 6, 2018 | Reviews

Mignola returns to Hell and […]

Ismyre Featured

“Ismyre”

By Tom Shapira | Jun 5, 2018 | Reviews

“Ismyre” is a kind of magic. The gentle kind, that leaves an impression that you can never quite be sure of. It is a book that invites contemplation, dealing in its short length with issues of loneliness, city life, the search for inspiration and many others. Yet this gentleness also seems to hold the book […]

“VS” #4

By Reed Hinckley-Barnes | Jun 1, 2018 | Reviews

Esad Ribic’s first creator owned series, “VS” has been one of the best-looking books since it began earlier this year. Along with a story from Ivan Brandon and coloring by Nic Klein, the world and art of “VS” have consistently brought the kind of epic scale illustrations that Ribic became know for in his earlier […]
