Review: Ballistic #2

By Michelle White | Sep 12, 2013 | Reviews

The first issue of this miniseries from Black Mask was brightly coloured, hyper-detailed, anarchic and a bit confusing. This second issue is all of those things, even more so, making for another immersive and disquieting experience. Written by Adam Egypt Mortimer Illustrated by Darick Robertson This madcap sci-fi buddy adventure about a wanna-be bank robber […]

Review: Prophet #39

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 12, 2013 | Reviews

“Interplanetary warriors contemplating their place in the universe and intellectually evolving over the millennia” – sounds like vintage Robert Liefeld, no? Okay, so the surprise of seeing what Liefeld’s “Prophet” has become in the hands of Brandon Graham & co. should have long worn off by now, but it really hasn’t. That’s because “Prophet” continues […]

Review: Kings Watch #1

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 12, 2013 | Reviews

It is absolutely amazing to me how, after reading “Kings Watch” #1, Jeff Parker and Marc Laming have created a completely accessible, fully formed world with memorable characters, a clear vision, and intrigue. What is so amazing about this is that there are some books at the Big Two entering their second or third year […]

Review: Love Stories (to Die For) #1

By Michelle White | Sep 6, 2013 | Reviews

I don’t think it would be giving too much away if I said that this one-shot from Image Comics might as well be called “Distrust and Betrayal Stories (to Die For)”. They’re pretty grim. Both written by Dirk Manning, and both addressing the seedier side of devotion and loyalty. Written by Dirk Manning Illustrated by […]

Review: The Star Wars #1

By Alice W. Castle | Sep 6, 2013 | Reviews

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, a young George Lucas wrote a screenplay. It wasn’t the screenplay that would become that film that changed lives and indeed the world, but it was close. That rough draft of a screenplay he titled The Star Wars has now seen the light of day […]

Review: God Is Dead #1

By Alice W. Castle | Sep 5, 2013 | Reviews

You know, with a title like “God Is Dead”, you inevitably have a certain level of expectation for how badass this comic should be. Compound that with the fact that Jonathan Hickman’s name is on the cover and you kind of expect a great comic regardless of the premise, right? Well… sigh. Here we go. […]

Review: Reality Check #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 5, 2013 | Reviews

“Reality Check” #1 tries to engage by being a funny comic with an injection of pathos, but it might need a reality check of its own when it comes to its man-boy main character.
