“Mister Miracle”#6

By | Jan 12, 2018 | Reviews

“Mister Miracle” has been consistently one of the best books on the stands for its five first issues. The mature take on Scott Free and Barda, combined with a traditional nine-grid panelling yet experimental storytelling, has been a successful formula for Tom King and Mitch Gerads. So does issue 6 continue that trend? Yes, absolutely […]

“Witchblade” #2

By | Jan 11, 2018 | Reviews

I don’t want to bury the lede: the new “Witchblade” is good comics. The writing is sharp, the art is cool and occasionally gorgeous. It’s a well put together book. It is, however, a new crack at a “Witchblade” series, and one helmed by female creators, so it carries with it the baggage of the […]

“Secret Weapons” #0

By | Jan 5, 2018 | Reviews

It can often seem like storytellers confuse ‘prequel’ with ‘prologue,’ when telling the story of a time before. Functionally the prologue is a brief pre-introduction meant to build context on the state of the world. That functionality is why prequel stories in a story world where the concept of “lore” (be it from superhero, sci-fi, […]
