Pick of the Week: Frampton’s “Oddly Normal” is Darkly Wonderful [Review]

By Michelle White | Sep 18, 2014 | Reviews

All-ages stories have got to be one of the trickiest niches in comics. Done right, they’re all charm, something anyone can enjoy on some level or other.

“Pledged is Pledged”: An Early Look at Scott Snyder and Jock’s “Wytches” #1 [Review]

By David Harper | Sep 15, 2014 | Reviews

Image Comics has gotten into a weird place as a publisher.

Ulises Farinas wrote about this concept – […]

By Michelle White | Sep 12, 2014 | Reviews

This new ongoing from Image promises a lot, and looks fantastic. But maybe this reviewer’s been burned a few too many times by promising science-fiction first issues.

Ms. Bishop, Technically an Avenger or: The Long Goodbye – “Hawkeye” #20 [Review]

By Cassandra Clarke | Sep 12, 2014 | Reviews

By James Johnston | Sep 11, 2014 | Reviews

Welcome to the first edition of our Chris-Hardwick themed Gravity Falls column, Gravity Talks. When planning this new column I figured we could do this bi-monthly and do two episodes per column, but I had forgotten about one of the few consistencies in “Gravity Falls”: its godawful scheduling. So from now on we’ll just do […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 11, 2014 | Reviews

“F. Premise awoke one morning from troubled dreams to find that her innocence had gone missing.” With this sentence we begin “(In a Sense) Lost and Found,” a surreal Kafka-esque journey of self discovery that at times feels more like visual poetry than sequential art. The first graphic novel effort of Roman Muradov (that goes […]

Three issues and in No, baby in tow, has finally stumbled into sanctuary. With The Spread still snapping at his heels and a new born to take care of you’d think he’d be glad of some company, but if the wastes of the quarantine zone are purgatory, it seems like hell might well be ‘other […]
