Pick of the Week: Chew: Warrior Chicken Poyo #1

By James Johnston | Jul 31, 2014 | Reviews

Review: The Midas Flesh #8

By Michelle White | Jul 25, 2014 | Reviews

Last time we checked in with “The Midas Flesh”, it was just over halfway through its run and going strong.

By Jess Camacho | Jul 25, 2014 | Reviews

Moneypenny– errr I mean, “Velvet” continues this month after a short break, a break that should have been enough time for you get the excellent first trade.

Review: The Squidder #1

By Michelle White | Jul 18, 2014 | Reviews

A decade ago, Cthulhu was definitely a cult figure – and by that I mean he was part of underground culture, and not that he had an actual cult around him (but then, you never know). In any case, if you mentioned H.P. Lovecraft to the right person you’d get to have an enthusiastic nerd-out […]
