Clans of Belari issue 1 featured

“Clans of Belari” #1

By Matthew Blair | Jul 8, 2021 | Reviews

Writing original fiction is hard, writing original science fiction is even harder. It’s not that the genre is any more difficult to write than any other, it’s just that the realm of science fiction is packed with so many unique, interesting, and incredibly popular stories and universes that it’s hard to not create something that […]

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” Vol. 11 & 12

By Elias Rosner | Jul 7, 2021 | Reviews

Is it just going to be a running gag until the very end of the series that Tanjiro & crew just...cannot keep their swords in one piece? Is every arc gonna end with an increasingly ludicrous reaction to Tanjiro needing a new blade? Am I going to have to stop reading after each arc just so I can properly prepare to be hunched over in laughter?

Feature: Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Secret of Chesbro House #1

Mignolaversity: “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Secret of Chesbro House” #1

By Mark Tweedale | Jul 7, 2021 | Reviews

Much of “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.” over the past two years has focused on standalone tales. You would be forgiven for thinking that this would make each story feel slight, non-essential, or skippable, and yet time and time again, the opposite is true. “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: The Secret of Chesbro House” is simply unmissable. […]

“Truth: Red, White and Black” #6

By Devin Fairchild | Jul 6, 2021 | Reviews

The old adage credited to Spanish philosopher George Santayana “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it” never rang more true than it does at this very moment. Another more recent and more eccentric philosopher the late Terence McKenna had an interesting theory about the modern era. The leader of the psychedelic […]

But after a tussle with Warren and The Scarlet Spider, […]

Wolverine 1988 2 Featured

“Wolverine” #2 (1988)

By Conor Spielberg | Jul 5, 2021 | Reviews

The amount of action in issue 2 of “Wolverine” dominates the majority of the pages, much like the first issue. But this issue ties the conflict between the combatants more with the story and doesn’t evoke the same cathartic one-sidedness of the previous issue. Written by Chris Claremont Pencilled by John Buscema Inked by Al […]

“Mass Effect: Foundation” #1-4

By Christopher Chiu-Tabet | Jul 1, 2021 | Reviews

Following “Homeworlds,” and the release of Mass Effect 3: Citadel (the final piece of DLC for the original trilogy) in 2013, Dark Horse Comics and BioWare launched “Mass Effect: Foundation,” a 13-issue maxiseries that would spotlight most of the rest of Commander Shepard’s squadmates.

“Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba” Vol. 9 & 10

By Elias Rosner | Jun 30, 2021 | Reviews

Welcome to the Tengen arc, wherein we partake in the age-old Shonen tradition of sneaking into the pleasure district dressed as courtesans and we lament the fact that Kyojuro Rengoku is no longer around to be the best, excitable Hashira. I miss him already.

“Truth: Red, White and Black” #5

By Devin Fairchild | Jun 29, 2021 | Reviews

From the opening sequence of issue 5 of “Truth: Red, White and Black,” there is a blue moonlit tint of two German soldiers. Instead of white faces and a grey or green uniforms, they are solid blue.

Wolverine 1 Ongoing Featured

“Wolverine” #1 (1988)

By Conor Spielberg | Jun 28, 2021 | Reviews

The 1988 “Wolverine” ongoing series loosely builds on the success of the miniseries six years prior, but confidently stands on its own merits with less emphasis on the super heroics and an even darker edge than before. The lack of reverence towards this ongoing series relative to the previous miniseries makes it a tough act […]
