“Glitterbomb Volume One: Red Carpet”

By Kate Kosturski | Nov 1, 2017 | Reviews

A few weeks ago, I reviewed the first issue of the second arc of the Glitterbomb series, “Glitterbomb: The Fame Game.” It wasn’t until after submitting my review that I found out that this was the second arc of an existing franchise that finished up its primary narrative in 2016. This now left me curious […]

“Mis(h)adra”

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 30, 2017 | Reviews

Seizures are terrifying things. While I am not an epileptic, I had a number of what are called febrile seizures as a small child, a trait that I sadly passed on to my daughter. When she was 11 months old, she had a 90 minute ‘complex’ febrile seizure, which is practically unheard of; at one […]

“Buffy – Season Eight: The Long Way Home”

By Forrest Sayrs | Oct 30, 2017 | Reviews

I’ve been rewatching old TV. More specifically, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It’s a semi-regular ritual for me. There’s something extremely satisfying about revisiting old characters and storylines. Sometimes you discover new things and even when you don’t it can still be a comforting experience. So, today I thought I’d take a look at the book […]

“The Flash” #33

By Gregory Ellner | Oct 27, 2017 | Reviews

Even if it doesn’t have a deliberate focus on the eponymous character’s conflict, “The Flash” #33 offers a very good showing to add to the still strong ‘Dark Nights: Metal’ event through the start of ‘Bats out of Hell’.

Wait, I thought Dynamite had a virtual monopoly on pulpy hardboiled action hero revivals? Huh, what’s that? It’s Black Crown not Black Mask?

When there was no room left in hell, the dead stalked Riverdale. Then, we saw a wholesome skin peeled back to reveal chilling satanic masses at the center of Sabrina’s teenage life.

“Hi-Fi Fight Club” #3

Nearly 55 years after that day in November, many are still not 100 percent sure who really killed President John F. Kennedy.

“Locke & Key Volume 1: Welcome To Lovecraft”

By Matt Lune | Oct 25, 2017 | Reviews

Creating truly effective horror in comics is notoriously difficult. In no other medium does the audience so thoroughly control the pacing of the narrative, and with the silent nature of comics making things like jump scares tricky, tension-building takes a skillful combination of script and art. Luckily, “Locke & Key” has that skilled pairing thanks […]
