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

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:

Review – Transformers Lost Light #17

So between last issue and this issue we found out that the Unicron event this summer will be the end of Lost Light, along with every other Transformers storyline at IDW. Transformers will continue, IDW still has the license, but all the current stories will wrap up and there will be a full reboot and I’M

Review and Preview: Strangers In Paradise XXV #2

Now we’re playing Hide and Seek. The clock’s ticking. The loser dies. If the first issue of Strangers in Paradise XXV felt like it was starting in the middle of the action, the full-page picture on the first page of issue #2 looks like the moment just before the climactic (and tragic) scene. We find
