“Sea Urchin”

By Elias Rosner | May 14, 2018 | Reviews

How often does one read raw emotion put to the page? How often, in the monthly, weekly, grind of comic reading and reviewing do we take the time to return to pieces that starkly recreate the artist’s mind? I certainly don’t return enough. So, for this evergreen, I’ve decided to return to an indie comic […]

“Algeria is Beautiful Like America”

By Forrest Sayrs | May 14, 2018 | Reviews

I think there is something about the French that must make them a little more open to exploring the past. “Algeria is Beautiful Like America” is the third or fourth graphic novel I’ve read that features women of French descent going on a pilgrimage to seek out their roots in former French colonies. But Oliva […]

“Rom and the Micronauts” #5

By Elias Rosner | May 11, 2018 | Reviews

“Rom and the Micronauts” ends its mini-series this week. An odd duck of a piece of the Hasbro universe, I’ve never quite known what to make of it. Is it a continuation of “Micronauts?” Of “Rom?” Of both? This issue doesn’t answer that but it does give a bit of direction for our favorite space […]

“Medieval Spawn/Witchblade” #1

By Rowan Grover | May 11, 2018 | Reviews

Spawn and Witchblade are two of the oldest and more iconic sigils of the Image Comics house.

“Analog” #2

By Jaina Hill | May 10, 2018 | Reviews

A room full of copy machines. In an issue that includes multiples tussles and a gunfight, it’s a room full of copy machines that really fascinates. That’s because “Analog” is the good kind of sci-fi: it tweaks something small in our world and lets the situation run wild. That’s when the book is at its […]

“Justice League No Justice” #1

By Gustavo S Lodi | May 10, 2018 | Reviews

A new event from DC, so closely released to the end of “Metal,” could easily earn the tag of more-of-the-same. However, what Snyder, Williamson, and Tynion with artist Francis Manapul have done, is anything but. This is how you keep the excitement after a successful storyline alive, feeding into a broader publishing line and beyond. […]

Batman: Ninja

By Brian Salvatore | May 8, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

When Batman: Ninja was announced, it sounded like it could be a train wreck of epic proportions. But with each subsequent announcement, the film started looking better and better, from hiring some really great people to work on it, to that first trailer, which was stunning. The film drops today.

With summer rolling in and people everywhere pining for some beach fun, what better time to read a book about Megalodons!

“The Bridge”

By Brian Salvatore | May 7, 2018 | Reviews

The story of how the Brooklyn Bridge came to be is a fascinating one, full of unexpected elements. Weird homeopathy! Civil War heroics! Political scandal!
