“Fence” #1

By John Schaidler | Nov 16, 2017 | Reviews

“Fence” #1 begins as a pretty straightforward take on the age-old sports narrative of the disadvantaged outsider trying to break into the big leagues. The debut issue is well crafted, but let’s face it, the real story is yet to come. (Warning: contains minor spoilers.) Written by C.S. Pacat Illustrated by Johanna The Mad Colored […]

Bottled-Featured

“Bottled”

By Edward Haynes | Nov 13, 2017 | Reviews

With “Bottled,” Australian cartoonist Chris Gooch makes a somewhat frustrating graphic novel debut. Frustrating in that this story of mundane millennial alienation and jealousy escalating into something unsettling, has all of the parts of something really good, something right up my alley; however, these great parts don’t quite click together. But they almost do. Written […]

“The Motherless Oven”

By John Schaidler | Nov 13, 2017 | Reviews

In 2015, Rob Davis’s “The Motherless Oven” won the British Comic Award for Best Book. Incredibly, even now, Davis and much of his work remain largely unknown to U.S. comic book fans.

“Daredevil” #595

By Jaina Hill | Nov 10, 2017 | Reviews

When Daredevil premiered on Netflix in April of 2015, I had a bunch of friends over to my small Harlem apartment to binge-watch it. One friend had never read a Daredevil comic, but became fascinated with the villainy of Wilson Fisk. “He’s just like Donald Trump!” she pointed out. Trump announced his presidential candidacy two […]
