Being a person in my elder years who was actually a teenager during some of the iconic stories of Judge Dredd in the early 1980s, I am often asked if there is a good start off point to being introduced to the world of Dredd.
Read MoreReview: Captain Midnight #21
The “Marked for Death” crossover storyline is now in full swing and it finds our past to the future hero Jim Albright (aka Captain Midnight) entering into the search for a person known only as The Archon.
Read MoreReview: Skullkickers #31
After a few month hiatus, Skullkickers is back for its final story arc. Everything is at stake, as our main characters (I can't in good conscious call them heroes) and a few alternate reality duplicates enter an inter-dimensional bar.
Read MoreReview: Marvel's Agents of SHIELD 2.14 – Love in the Time of Hydra
Coming down from last week’s action packed B-List slug fest things slow down a little and we get a couple of very claustrophobic stories. Unfortunately none of those stories involve what happened to Cal and the Inhumans last episode.
Read MoreReview: The Flash 1.16 – Rogue Time
Holy shit, the real villains of this week are Cisco’s shitty fucking family. Jesus. I mean Thong Song wasn’t exactly groundbreaking but it did pretty well. It was all over the place in the 90’s, that’s respectable, even if there wasn’t a follow up hit.
Read MoreReview: Samurai Jack #17
I’ll start with just my overall thought on the latest from Samurai Jack and work my way back. To start, I was disappointed with issue #17. So now let’s work our way back.
Read MoreReview: The Twilight Zone: Shadow and Substance #3
The third installment of The Twilight Zone: Shadow and Substance starts a new two-issue story arc entitled Jailbreak.
Read MoreReview: Creeple Peeple #2
Creeple Peeple #2 picks up right where the first issue left off: our scientist trio wakes up to find themselves surrounded by strange but seemingly harmless creatures. They look a bit like goblins but with neon Troll Doll type hair. It’s great.
Read MoreReview: Tomb Raider #14
Everyone aboard the crazy train. This issue is bonkers, sometimes in a good way but most often not. The issue opens well enough, showing us Lara having a nightmare then the issue devolves into one crazy thing happening after another.
Read MoreReview: Quantum and Woody Must Die #3
I really want to like this book, but Quantum and Woody Must Die disappoints me for the second issue in a row.
Read MoreReview: Zombies vs. Robots #3
This comic is bat-shit crazy. Then again what do you expect from something with the title Zombies vs Robots. But this comic isn't just robots and zombies, nope, we've got humans and in this issue something new has arrived.
Read MoreReview: Curb Stomp #2
The first thing I want to say about Ferrier and Neogi’s Boom miniseries Curb Stomp is that it is a being of pure style. Set to the hyper-real, neon tune of 1980s gangland cinema, it is exploitation theater projected on a black-lit velvet painting.
Read MoreReview: TMNT: New Animated Adventures #21
The first story in this issue involve Baxter Stockman and Spyder-Bytes (as seen on the two covers). The story is fairly predictable and involves a lot of the characters standing around and talking.
Read MoreReview: Legenderry: Green Hornet #2
This is a busy god damn book. It was busy last month too, but I was hoping it would narrow focus a bit and get down to the nitty gritty.
Read MoreReview: Joe Frankenstein #2
After being surprised by the first issue of Joe Frankenstein I was more than happy to check out the second issue. The formula for the series is pretty clear after reading this issue, but that’s okay.
Read MoreReview: Altered States: The Shadow #1
This one, this one is interesting, perhaps more so than the other Altered State books I’ve read. I’ve always thought of The Shadow as the Batman of pulp comics (perhaps Batman is The Shadow of modern comics?) but in a Justice League of pulp comics I would use The Shadow to fill the Batman role.
Read MoreReview: Conan The Avenger #12
This issue marks the end of 'The Damned Horde' arc. It starts slow, due to Conan being enfeebled by the black disease. The middle of the issue gives us the showdown, some returned characters and their resolution.
Read MoreReview: The Little Mermaid #2
I’m speechless. I have no idea what to say about this. Nothing happens in this issue, it’s mostly entirely unnecessary flashback. Something the previous issues have struggled with is jumping all over the place with no real narrative direction.
Read MoreReview: Mister X: Razed #2
The first issue of Mister X: Razed was a holiday themed issue. It provided short, but complete stories and it was a terrific read.
Read MoreReview: Intersect #5
You get dragged into this comic. Ray Fawkes has a way of grabbing your attention and then tossing it to the floor. To read this comic in just passing by fashion won’t cut it.
