Review: Ghost Cop #1

By Michelle White | Nov 7, 2013 | Reviews

It’s tempting to look at the title of this three-issue miniseries from Antarctic Press and decide that you already know what it’s about. We’re used to paint-by-numbers mash-ups featuring some combination of ninjas or cowboys or pirates, and it’s not often you come across one that’s really something special. But not only does “Ghost Cop” […]

Review: Alex + Ada #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 7, 2013 | Reviews

From the great Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn comes Lars and the Real Girl 3000 – a deliberate, atmospheric sci-fi story that favors taking plenty of time to set its pace over jumping too far forward into any sort of plot. (Kudos to Matthew Meylikhov for the joke) Written by Jonathan Luna & Sarah Vaughn […]

Review: Ten Grand #5

By Zach Wilkerson | Nov 7, 2013 | Reviews

After a long, unexpected hiatus, “Ten Grand” returns sans artist Ben Templesmith. Filling his rather large shoes is C.P. Smith. Does Smith rise to the occasion, or does the loss of half its creative foundation a death knell for the young series? Read on to find out! Written by J. Michael Straczynski Illustrated by C.P. […]

Valiant (Re)visions: Quantum & Woody #5 and Shadowman #12 [Review]

By David Harper and Brandon Burpee | Nov 7, 2013 | Reviews

David: Brandon, this is a big week of Valiant action for us. We have a new artist, we have some excellent guest creators, we got it all! Do we have good comics though? Let’s explore that, and start with Quantum & Woody #5 from series regulars James Asmus and Jordie Bellaire, and incoming penciler Ming […]

Minor spoilers ahead. Written by Christopher Hastings Illustrated by Jacopo Camagni When someone is targeting the lucky for death, it won’t take long before […]

Pick Of The Week: Amazing X-Men #1

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 7, 2013 | Reviews

Let’s be real here: we’re all buying this book because Nightcrawler’s on the cover, right? That’s what we’re all here for. It’s been some time since his death, Jason Aaron’s been teasing a return for long enough and now this rocks up with our fuzzy, blue elf on the cover. How are we going to […]

Five Thoughts on Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’s “FZZT” [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 6, 2013 | Reviews

I’m back! After Brian wonderfully filled in for me, your #1 Whedon Fanboy (or whatever, I don’t know, I don’t like labels) here at MC is here to tackle the latest episode of the highly anticipated and rather largely panned amongst the comic fan community Agents of SHIELD. Is this episode another loser? Is it a […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Indifference” [Review]

By David Harper | Nov 4, 2013 | Reviews

Another week, another episode of The Walking Dead, as they seemingly bait all reviewers out there with the title of this week’s episode, “Indifference”. Did this episode keep the pace with the so far very solid fourth season, or are things going dark faster than Carol’s disposition? Let’s examine tonight’s episode with five thoughts about […]

Wrapping Wednesday: Micro Reviews for the Week of 10/30/13

By David Harper | Nov 1, 2013 | Reviews

There is a lot to cover on Wednesdays. We should know, as collectively, we read an insane amount of comics. Even with a large review staff, it’s hard to get to everything. With that in mind, we’re back with Wrapping Wednesday, where we look at some of the books we missed in what was another […]

Review: The Double Life of Miranda Turner #1

By Sam LeBas | Nov 1, 2013 | Reviews

This new title captures a quality of youthful excitement and novelty quickly and keeps its finger on that pulse throughout the entire issue. This may be the most vivacious ghost story ever told. Written by Jamie S. Rich Illustrated by George Kambadais Miranda Turner never knew that her sister, international supermodel Lindy Turner, was also […]

Review: The Trial Of The Punisher #2

By Alice W. Castle | Nov 1, 2013 | Reviews

The last time we checked in on “The Trial Of The Punisher”, we saw that Marc Guggeheim and Leinil Yu created a strong opening to a Punisher story unlike any other. Here, despite only Guggenheim returning for the second issue, is the conclusion to the miniseries. Does it stick the landing? Well, let’s find out. […]

Review: The Raven and the Red Death

By Michelle White | Nov 1, 2013 | Reviews

It’s Hallowe’en (or, at least, a handful of hours ago, it was), and we already know that Richard Corben does horror right. It’s easy to make the case for checking out this one-shot, which takes on two classic Poe tales, and puts a unique spin on each of them. Written and illustrated by Richard Corben […]

Review: Sex #8

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 1, 2013 | Reviews

Wherein we join Simon Cooke at the orgy at Saturnalia. It’s like Trick-or-Treating for consenting adults, right? And “Sex” #8 is a treat – especially for fans of complex layers of subtext under very stark imagery. Happy Hallowe’en, everyone. Written by Joe Casey Illustrated by Piotr Kowalski Colors by Brad Simpson Lettered by Rus Wooton […]

Review: Green Lantern Annual #2

By Zach Wilkerson | Nov 1, 2013 | Reviews

“Lights Out” comes to an end, marking the first major climax of the Venditti Green Lantern era. While it fails to reach the quality level of “Sinestro Corps War” or “Blackest Night,” it brings some of the biggest changes to the Green Lantern mythology since the yellow fear bug. Written by Robert Venditti Illustrated by […]

Review: Captain America: Living Legend #2

By Matt Dodge | Nov 1, 2013 | Reviews

Review: Infinity #5

By James Johnston | Nov 1, 2013 | Reviews

Marvel’s huge event, Infinity, has its penultimate chapter. Aside from the incorrect title, will this issue keep up the great streak Hickman and Co. have been holding so far? Read below to find out. Spoiler Warning in Effect. Written by Jonathan Hickman Illustrated by Jerome Opeña and Dustin Weaver • The Avengers Universe. • The Heroes of Earth […]

Review: Damian: Son Of Batman #1

By Alice W. Castle | Oct 31, 2013 | Reviews

Picture, if you will, a world where Damian did not die during the events of “Batman Incorporated” #8. A world where, instead, Batman died, but in an entirely unrelated incident. A world where no one’s really sure when this was supposed to take place, but just went a long with it anyway. A world where […]

Review: Five Ghosts #6

By Michelle White | Oct 31, 2013 | Reviews

We fell over ourselves with praise when “Five Ghosts” first came out, and the miniseries only got better from there, getting across a tangible love for old-fashioned adventure tales and looking absolutely gorgeous all the while. Now the series is launching as an ongoing, and we’ve got a stand-alone tale set in Japan to kick […]

Review: The Fox #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 31, 2013 | Reviews

Archie Comics’ latest attempt to bring back The Red Circle characters doesn’t shy away from its classic elements, but in the modern era of comics, that could actually be a welcome fact. Written by Dean Haspiel & Mark Waid Illustrated by Dean Haspiel Colors by Allen Passalaqua Lettered by John Workman From the world of […]
