“Aliens: Dust to Dust” #1

By Elias Rosner | Apr 26, 2018 | Reviews

The darkness creeps through the city, transforming the shadows into something more, something deadly. We know what lurks in the shadows for the shadows do not obscure what is coming. You might think that makes the creatures less scary. You’d be wrong. Written and Illustrated by Gabriel Hardman Colored by Rain Beredo Lettered by Michael […]

“Shadowman” #2

By Jaina Hill | Apr 26, 2018 | Reviews

Shadowman is the most powerful and prominent magical superhero in the Valiant universe. Despite having a cool design and a unique place in the greater story, he hasn’t been able to hold down a solo series for a long time. What does a comic company do when they are trying to make a new superhero […]

“The Prisoner” #1

By Jonathan O'Neal | Apr 26, 2018 | Reviews

Even for the ’60s The Prisoner was a bizarre television series, throwing fistfuls of genre-bending surrealistic concepts in front of a constantly zooming camera. Characters with arched eyebrows delivered even more arched dialogue amidst James Bond-era gadgetry, and the whole thing was edited with a sometimes disorienting series of jump cuts. It was a fun […]

“Detective Comics” #979

By Matt Lune | Apr 26, 2018 | Reviews

With only two issues left in James Tynion IV’s superb run on the title, we see the physical and emotional pieces of the “Detective Comics” puzzle fall into place. Read on for our review of #979, which contains mild spoilers. Written by James Tynion IV Illustrated by Philippe Briones Colored by John Kalisz Lettered by […]

A Haiku Review of the MCU

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 26, 2018 | Reviews

With Avengers: Infinity War fast approaching, you may feel the need to get a refresher on all the Marvel movies leading up to this point. But with so many movies, maybe you just need a quick refresher. As such, it is my pleasure to bring you summary reviews of every single movie in the Marvel […]

Deep Roots 1 cover - featured

Pick Of The Week: “Deep Roots” #1

By Rowan Grover | Apr 26, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

When Vault Comics pitched this book as part Dark Souls, I was immediately intrigued. Even when Vault Comics simply released the cover for “Deep Roots” #1, I caught myself looking twice. This is a comic that oozes intrigue on the stands, and begs for you to delve into it. But is the story underneath the […]

Avengers: Infinity War

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 24, 2018 | Movies, Reviews

Two notes, up top, before I really get into this: the review is spoiler-free, and there is only one post-credits scene, at the very end of the credits. You probably have enough time to pee and come back before it. Avengers: Infinity War is an incredibly ambitious bit of film making from just about every […]

“Green Lantern: Earth One” Volume 1

By Jonathan O'Neal | Apr 24, 2018 | Reviews

If “Green Lantern: Earth One” Volume 1 looks like a sequential version of a cinematic space opera, it’s because the man behind the visuals has storyboarded over 30 feature films, including the box office hits Logan, Interstellar, and The Dark Knight Rises. Lucky for us, Gabriel Hardman and his wife, Corinna Bechko, know that space operas […]

“I Kill Giants”

By Rodney Ortiz | Apr 24, 2018 | Reviews

Having seen that the theatrical release for “I Kill Giants” came out late last month and is now available to stream, I felt this would be a good time to go back and touch upon the series that inspired the movie. Originally released in 2007, Joe Kelly and J.M. Ken Niimura’s 7-issue limited series stands […]

“Puerto Rico Strong”

By Kate Kosturski | Apr 23, 2018 | Reviews

Over six months after the back-t0-back hits of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, the island of Puerto Rico continues to recover from these storms while facing new challenges: another island-wide blackout, loss of FEMA motel housing assistance for those that fled the island for the mainland United States, and nearly 300 schools closing permanently this summer as […]

“Plastic Man” (2003-2006) #8

By Elias Rosner | Apr 23, 2018 | Reviews

Plastic Man. The man, the myth, the legend. A true hero, one who lives on in the hearts of millions, one who wasn’t missing for close to 6 years during the New 52 and Rebirth. Yes, that’s right. It’s time to talk about that Plastic Man. With his long-overdue reappearance in “Dark Nights: Metal” & […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews For the Week of 4/18/18

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 23, 2018 | Reviews

There is a lot to cover on Wednesdays. We should know, as collectively, we read an insane amount of comics. Even with a large review staff, it’s hard to get to everything. With that in mind, we’re back with Wrapping Wednesday, where we look at some of the books we missed in what was another […]

“Infidel” #2

By Gustavo S Lodi | Apr 20, 2018 | Reviews

The haunting story of Aisha and her extended family continues with issue 2 of “Infidel,” as reality and the supernatural seemingly converge. Beyond the excellent script and art, what makes this sophomore issue (and series) so harrowing is how the real-world aspects of its horror are even stronger than any monster and ghoul that the […]

“Batman” #45

By Alex Curtis | Apr 20, 2018 | Reviews

A wedding of epic proportions between Batman and Catwoman is fast approaching. But who can think about that when Booster Bold finds himself in a nightmare version of the DC universe where people become “Jokerized” and Batman wields assault rifles? http://multiversitystatic.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2018/01/Batman-45-Cover.jpg[/link] Written by Tom King Illustrated by Tony S.

“Amazing Spider-Man” #799

By Jaina Hill | Apr 20, 2018 | Reviews

One hundred issues ago, Dan Slott killed Peter Parker. A hundred issues before that, he presided over Peter’s Aunt May marrying the father of J. Jonah Jameson. My point is twofold. First: holy crap, Dan Slott really and truly has been writing “Spider-Man” for a good long time. The second is that this isn’t the […]

“Ms. Marvel” #29

By Robbie Pleasant | Apr 20, 2018 | Reviews

“Ms. Marvel” has been an emotional roller coaster ride over the past few issues, taking her to low points, a journey of discovery, and a lesson in who her friends are. Now that the latest arc is over, it’s time to start a new one. Think it’s time for a cool-down issue? Oh, things are […]
