There is a hole in your life. You may not know it exists, and you really won't until you have read Manhattan Projects. That hole is a need for a supremely bad ass Albert Einstein.
Read MoreReview: Sally of the Wasteland #5
How dare you make me feel emotions while reading this comic! I expected light-hearted moments, with a lot of demented deaths that made me chuckle. Instead I actually wound up caring about our title character Sally and yes even her “never gonna happen” boyfriend.
Read MoreReview: Samurai Jack #14
I really happy that I have stuck to this series. I truly love all-ages books, for the simple fact that I can share the comic with anyone.
Read MoreReview: Oddly Normal #3
Welcome to Fignation, everyone. This is going to be a fun, colorful romp through the world of all things fictional, and I’m excited to get on the bug and take the ride the rest of the way.
Read MoreReview: Wayward #4
Shit happens in this issue. Shit involving Japanese demons and a mysterious mom that I didn’t care about at all. Somewhere during this issue, I realized that Rori Lane’s story has lost my interest thanks to the lack of anything resembling an emotional arc for her.
Read MoreReview: Sundowners #4
I’m not sure if it’s saying much if you’ve read my most recent Sundowners review, but this was by far my favorite issue since the premiere. Thanks to a mixture of more focused storytelling, interesting action scenes, and a greater sense of the apocalyptic stakes, Sundowners looks to be doing a turnaround from the type of early death that one of its characters faces this week.
Read MoreReview: Rasputin #2
When I finished this issue, I said to myself, “is that it?” I was genuinely quite surprised at how abruptly this second installment ends, but then that surprise evolved into disappointment at how slowly this book is moving forward. In my review of the first issue of Rasputin I said that it was flawed but had potential, and I still feel that way about the book now. But I’m starting to wonder just how long this book will take to fix the flaws that are currently weighing it down.
Read MoreReview: Godzilla Rulers of Earth #18
Lucy and crew investigate a huge crater unearthed in Brazil. From it are taken glowing rocks that turn out to be something sinister. When Megaguirus spawn emerge from the forests, Lucy and her friends are forced to flee.
Read MoreReview: Dark Engine #4
Dark Engine is one of the seemingly endless titles that Image is pumping out these days, but unlike some of the publisher’s risky, even unworthy endeavors, I’m afraid this quirky, unfortunately unsung fantasy book may get lost in the shuffle of big-named mediocrity (like this week’s fucking abysmal Ody-C, for example).
Read MoreReview: Toe Tag Riot #1
Toe Tag Riot is what you would get if you took equal parts The Blues Brothers, SLC Punk and The Walking Dead and threw them into an extremely hip blender.
Read MoreReview: Memetic #2
In a month where Kim Kardashian’s prominent assets saw fit to purportedly “break the internet” - but really just led to a viral outbreak of stellar photoshopping - it is perhaps a no-more-fortuitous time for pop culture to address the ramifications of unchecked meme-ing. I mean, what if that image of KK’s “hey-hey” was somehow corrupted by, say, a neurological virus that made us eat each other? We’d all be super fucked right now, amirite?
Read MoreReview: Penguins of Madagascar #1
The four stars of television and movies now have comics to add to their resumes, and their adventures of escape and domination continue as good as ever. Broken into a series of short stories, Penguins of Madagascar has the four black and white birds facing off against rats and go out for a raucous night on the town.
Read MoreReview: TMNT #40
I couldn’t be more thrilled to see Alopex and Angel ganging up together. I mean with Bebop and Rocksteady in the picture, and then you throw on Hob with some more mutant creations of his, you are bound to have one crazy event. So of course two women, Angel and Alopex need to step in and save them all. Yeah, if you haven't been keeping up with this series some serious shit is going down.
Read MoreReview: ODY-C #1
I have an embarrassing English major confession (I may have gotten a degree in Playwriting, but I was an English major in practice and in spirit for a long time): I never read The Odyssey.
Read MoreReview: Robyn Hood #4
Hell yes! The day I picked up my first Robyn Hood was a crossover event with Red Riding Hood. And I distinctly remember telling readers that 1. Robyn is the star of this event and 2. I couldn’t wait for them to meet again, because it would be even better. That day has arrived. When I saw the cover for Robyn Hood, I knew I recognized that girl in red. The cover has this hell yes factor to it, and so does the story.
Read MoreReview: Bee and Puppycat #6
It’s getting a little difficult to say something fresh about Bee and Puppycat. Issue by issue, the comic has its riotous standouts, adorable quiet moments, and flat-out duds, and though its strength continues to be its collection of vignettes about the titular characters, I get increasingly interested in seeing a more extended comic story (I know there’s a show, but it seems to care just as little about plot and character development as the comic). Regardless of that minor quibble, Bee and Puppycat was once again was mostly a joy to read.
Read MoreReview: Edward Scissorhands #2
Edward Scissorhands #2 continues right where we left off. Megs is snooping, Edward is lonely, and Eli has blood on his claws.
Read MoreReview: The White Suits
As someone who is fascinated by Russian history and the Cold War era, I was expecting The White Suits to be right up my alley. It follows the story of FBI agent Sarah Anderson as she attempts to track down the mysterious White Suits, a gang who savaged the Russian underworld in the days of the Cold War, and also the people who killed her father.

The Borderlands games have always been a great source of comedy and over the top characters and it looks like Telltale Games have managed to encompass that into their brand of storytelling. This should be really fun!
