I really have no comment on this comic, but in reading the press release I noticed that Image is officially in Portland... which feels weird. Like 70% of my emails now come from Portland it feels like. Oh and I will likely read this series... at least the first issue. I'm not big on Simone's writing as she's very hit or miss with me.

Originally I was just going to point out the weird pants and make some Logan jokes and call it a day, but then I saw his weird Voldermort/every eyeless freak from a horror movie, face. Seriously, is Wolverine supposed to be the stuff of nightmares? $80 bucks for Nightmare Wolverine with his kissable lips of death.
Read MoreWell, it's March... so that means it's Loot Crate time. The theme is "primal, " and it pretty much sucks. There's usually like one good thing, but I couldn't find it in this batch. The shirt is just a shirt to me so... maybe next month. They can't all be winners and shit. Also if you thumbs down this, then you don't get my humor, and that's okay. Just know that I'll just keep making them longer out of spite.

I know, I know… I said I wouldn’t be back to review this issue, that I was just going to enjoy the series and not force myself to review it every time. Then Priest went and added Power Girl. A character so underutilized in DC that until this issue I couldn’t name two books she’s been in before now. I may end up picking up Teen Titans if she’s in that, but I will be harshly comparing the characterization.

If you’ve read any of my other reviews you know that I’ve been really enjoying Loose Ends. You also know that I’ve got a soft spot for drugs and junkie stories, and more importantly crime fiction. And this book checks off both of those categories. Loose Ends is billed as a Southern Crime Romance, and luckily for me the crime part of that tag line is the thing that sticks out most. Not that I have anything against romance, really, I’d just rather read some hard-boiled crime shit.

I’ll say this; I’m glad we know what happened to Ivan. That is to say; we learn what happened to Ivan’s body in this issue as our trio continue telling their story to Janey Belle aka Zombie Tramp. I’ll be honest; I don’t remember why they’re working together anymore. I know it’s about the book… but it escapes me as to why.

I'm not much of a musically inclined person. I mean, I like music, singing for fun, and all that, but any proper musical education and proficiency both began and ended with learning recorder, xylophone, and ocarina in grade school. And yes, those were all mandatory lessons that I have since forgotten. Underwinter is a music-centric horror comic. Although, from the inverted pentagram overlaying the guy on the cover, I figured it would also contain some demon shenanigans, knowing about which tends to be one of my fortes. So, here I am reviewing it.
Read MoreAs Violet shares a longing for vengeance with her new acquaintance, a breaking point is reached. Meanwhile, a basement dweller by the name of Flannegan is getting friendly with some rats, and as per usual Violet's mother is acting strange. Read ahead for thoughts on this week's issue!

The premise to Apocalypse… Meh is simple and brilliant. Hell, has come to earth, but life goes on. It’s like the book of Revelations, but Monday still sucks and Friday you get to go home from work. The volume is cut up in shorter stories, but there is an overall narrative that continues throughout the short stories.
Read MoreJeff Lemire's grand homage to Golden Age heroes continues with the start of a new arc -- this time exploring the mysterious origins of Black Hammer, the hammer-wielding hero of the streets who sacrificed all he had to save Spiral City. In the spirit of previous issues, two stories of past and present are told concurrently. But how does this week's backstory stack up? Read ahead to find out!

Volcano Trash is one of those alternative worlds in which the future is dystopianish, but also full of joy and fun. It’s a world I would like to visit because it’s a bit carefree, very weird and there are robots that can transform.

I’m just going to come right out and say that I didn’t really care for the first issue of Curse Words. I tried to like it, but it just didn’t click for me. Something about it. Maybe it’s because it seemed a little too hipster-y (which is a word I am just making up here) or something. I don’t know. I like Charles Soule and Ryan Browne, so I figured, together, it would be an instant hit with me. But it wasn’t. Whatever. Let’s move on.

Helena Crash is a book I very likely would've skipped if I weren't reviewing comics on a weekly basis. The premise is high concept enough to draw attention, but it's only a shallow hook and not enough to make me really want to drop the $3.99 to find out more. At the same time, that's kind of what made me want to read and review it. After all, sometimes it takes looking where you normally wouldn't to find the hidden gems. And after reading through this first issue, I am glad I picked it. While not necessarily anything special, Helena Crash is an enjoyable read that doesn't take itself too seriously, nor does it make everything into a joke.

Listen, if Gene Simmons doesn't tongue Vampi's butthole and then his own, I don't care and won't be reading this. KISS sucks in comic form... and in real life... and their music. Vampirella needs a new publisher or just a brand new direction. Buttholes tongued or I won't buy.

There was a time in which I would have found this cool, but since it's been years since any new Mouse Guard stories came out and even longer since one that wasn't a "Tales of the Guard" I can't really pretend to care about this. Maybe if it was a finished work and this was a nice piece for fans, but it seems like a waste of time and money.

Ew, themed variants! That pays the bills folks. That and when you've run out of iconic covers just go back and mine them over and over again... and then again and again. While I think it's great that MJ is getting some love, most of these covers are creepy looking. I posted comments all over them so enjoy that shit, or not, don't care.

At times Star Scouts is an entertaining read full of imagination and a positive message about being different. Other times, it hits you over the head with its characterizations and paced far too slowly. Star Scouts is obviously aimed at younger kids as the message and outcome of the story are very easy to figure out. This wasn’t a deal breaker, but it did make for a bumpy ride to the end.
