Review – Outpost Zero #1

I’d seen news of Image’s upcoming Outpost Zero series, but I hadn’t read the descriptions (I’m WAY behind on my previews and promos) so I glanced at the first few pages of the review copy out of curiosity. Next thing I knew I’d finished the issue. And now I want more. See below for the review

Review – Dark Nights Metal – Dark Knights Rising

“Let me tell you a secret. All it takes is one bad day….” After hearing all the hype about DC’s Dark Nights: Metal saga, I was a little disappointed after reading Dark Days: Road to Metal and the Dark Nights Deluxe Edition: they’re fine, but they’re a little goofy, a little wordy, and they just

Review – Transformers Lost Light #18

We had to wait a little longer this time, but Lost Light 18 is here. (Honestly it wasn’t that long, but I knew I’d gotten spoiled when we got three issues in two months.) The end of the series is just over the horizon and so help me I’m going to avoid giving any spoilers

Review – Dark Nights Metal: Deluxe Edition

Continuing my game of catch-up with last year’s “Dark Nights” event from DC, this week I read the Dark Nights Metal: Deluxe Edition. (In comic shops today and bookstores June 12.) The series was every bit as explosive and world-encompassing (and sometimes goofy) as I’d been told, but it’s a pretty deep wade for anyone

Review – Skyward issue 1 and 2

I’m really enjoying Joe Henderson and Lee Garbett’s Skyward (the second issue just hit stores today), partly because of the art, partly because of the sassy dialogue, but mostly because it’s one of my favorite recipes for sci-fi stories: take a near future setting, add in one great big technological change, and mix with details

Review – Dark Days: The Road to Metal

I’ve been hearing for months that I missed out by not reading DC’s Dark Nights: Metal, which means I get to play catchup. The first volume, in comic shops today and everywhere next week, is the official jumping on point for the saga, so I’m jumping on. See below for a review of Dark Days: the

Marvel Trades Review – Jessica Jones Volume 3, Legion Son of X Volume 3, Iceman Volume 2, and Spirits of Vengeance: War at the Gates of Hell

Once again I’ve got a random collection of Marvel graphic novels (some new, some legacy titles) and, rather than doing the smart thing and read all the previous issues, I’m jumping into the middle to see how well that works.  The result? It works pretty well. Read on for reviews of Jessica Jones Volume 3:
