Bhavna Bakshi Comic Reviews

Image has some of the best books I’ve ever read. Lately, they’re just proving that to be even more accurate. This book is definitely one of the better books I’ve read this week. You just HAVE to check it out.

It took a second read to soak in all the awesomeness of this book. But what I got was: it reads at a stable pace, the artwork is appropriate for the subject matter, and it sends a good message. Brennan and Jackson write the script in such a way that it is easy to follow, and keeps your attention. You can try to read it fast, but you might miss something (as you read, there's a lot going on in this issue). It's not a skim-it-over kind of book; it's a sit-down-with-your-glasses-on kind of book.

Giving these classic characters new and different stories is something I wasn’t sure would work, but Marvel seems to have done a very fine job of it. It’s neat to see these characters without all the high tech stuff they have in the future Marvel stories. I’d say issue one is a success!

If you’re a fan of any of these Marvel characters, you have to read this series, because you’ve never seen them like this! Issue #2 includes Elektra, Bullseye, Grizzly, and Doc Ock! Duggan and Virella are a power team, who give us some really amazing work.

This is a really great addition to 1872. Duggan does an amazing job of moving the story forward, and perfectly captures the western ambience. There’s a lot of action to come, so keep reading this awesome series!

Overall, this is a simple but clever nod to the brewing industry. Right now, there isn’t much tension, but I’m hoping more will come. It’s a silly look at a creative world based on beer. For any beer and comic fan, this is what you’ve been waiting for!

Bottom line is, this series is amazing. It’s brilliant—genius, even. It’s a great way to nod to the brewing community and bring attention to the ever-growing population of drinkers and brewers. This comic is worth every second of the read.

This series has been approved for a second printing, being released on May 25th. If you’re into crime stories, and generally awesome storytelling, you can’t miss out on this series. This is great first issue, and I can’t recommend it enough. Enjoy!

Molina’s artwork is just as telling as the dialogue, like when Sister Grimm blames She-Hulk for Ms. America’s fate. Each character shows expression more than I’ve seen in a lot of comics these days—Molina goes above and beyond the call of duty here. Basically, this is an amazing comic book, and women in leadership positions is becoming a big thing nowadays. Yay, feminism! You should definitely put this book on your “must-read” list this year.

A-Force is quickly turning into one of my favorite comic books, not because they’re all women, and not because there’s good action in the storyline (both are true), but because the book itself is always aesthetically pleasing, and written in such a way that it pushes me to keep reading. Upon first looking at issue #1, I knew I was going to like this series, because it just makes me want to read it. If you haven’t started the series yet, get on it, man!

This series has been absolutely EPIC over the past four issues. There has been so much emotion and so many feelings across the board of A-Force members, and it’s awesome to see that despite it all, they are still able to work together to protect their home. Keep reading to see how these women take on a horde of flesh-eating zombies.

This issue is kind of just a way to introduce new readers to the A-Force and its members. Because of that, Wilson doesn’t have the ability to do anything “out there” just yet. However, I have no doubt at all that she will. This is a solid issue that is a great start to what I’m hoping will lead to a really awesome reunion.

I’d definitely say that the first issue is a success. I’m beyond stoked to read more; things can only get more intriguing from here. I’m bummed that Mary-Maria is such a jerk (it like really, really made me sad), but I’m looking forward to seeing how she’s going to use the satchel to her advantage. As for Armstrong and Archer, they’re in a bit of trouble right now, so it’ll be cool to see how they handle it together. This duo is strong, and definitely worth following.

This series has very quickly picked up the pace. We’re already seeing a lot of action, adventure, commotion, and a ton of awesomeness. I cannot wait to see more of these guys’ adventures. We’re only at issue #2, so you have time to catch up and keep reading along; you will not be disappointed.

Valiant is releasing some amazing books these days, and this has got to be one of—if not the—best. This series is dramatic in circumstance but lighthearted with humor. The creative team on this series is doing an amazing job of delivering talented, quality material that couldn’t bore you even on the 10th re-read. This is brilliant stuff that is well worth the read for anyone who enjoys a good story.

So, the Bacchus affair is over. Roberts and Lafuente have done a brilliant, awesome, genius job on these first four issues of the series. For anyone who likes action/fantasy/comedic comic books, I fully recommend this series. Next issue, we see Archer and a familiar character from another series, Faith! Keep reading to see what the heck that’s all about.

Archer and Armstrong are onto their next adventure, of which I have no idea what to expect—but I know it’s going to be worth reading. As for this issue, it was great to explore Archer more and see how he acts away from Armstrong. For fans of both A&A and Faith, this is the perfect issue for you!

This issue doesn’t have too much exchange of dialogue, but it says way more than words could. We get to see Abe in new territory (even though it’s a familiar place). The creative team has done an absolutely fantastic job with this issue. In a word, it’s beautiful. Every Hellboy/Abe Sapien fan needs to read this.

Overall, this is a great issue to add to the series. We’re learning a lot about Abe just as Abe is learning a lot about himself. This story arc has become really revealing, entertaining, and enthralling. For anyone who is a fan of Mignola’s work, there is no way you can miss this series.

Abigail and the Snowman is a lot more than just a story about a girl and a yeti. It is about friendship and the relationships they have with people around them. It is a cute and light-hearted story that we can all relate to on some level.

Either Way, issue #36 brings two great Adventure Time stories appropriate for any age; Finn and Jake's adventures are always new and exciting. If you love action and cute cuddly yellow dogs, pick up this issue as soon as you can!

This story is just as fun and upbeat as the issue itself. Jacobson’s writing very much so resembles the tone of Adventure Time, as well as his artwork. This issue is overall filled with laughs and suspense. I might be biased, seeing as I’m a long-term Adventure Time fan, but this issue is definitely worth checking out, and the series itself, too. If you get the chance, pick it up and let us know what you think!

Issue #43 proves to be a really great addition to the series, moving the plot forward quite a bit. We get to see Finn and Jake in positions where they usually aren’t, and it’s pretty interesting to watch them take on the town as fugitives. They both turn into one strange cupcake looking character. Adventure Time never lets me down, and I promise this issue won’t let you down, either.

This issue gives us some really entertaining dialogue and events. All the loose ends are tied up, and Ooo becomes a safe place once again. It’s like a “happily ever after” story with a twist. For any Adventure Time fan, you can’t miss this one.

Jake is on quite the adventure right now. I’m not sure how he’s going to face the governess, but I’m looking forward to finding out. Things are picking up the pace, so we should see some action pretty soon (we saw a little this issue, but not too much). This issue is easy to follow, understandable, fun, energetic, and entertaining. It’s definitely a necessity for any Adventure Time fan.

This is an incredible addition to the Adventure Time label. Marceline has always been my favorite character, and it’s awesome to see her in such a vulnerable position, gaining power as she deals with it. Hanna K has done a great job with this one-shot, making it a truly awesome read—crucial for any and all Adventure Time fans!

Overall, this first issue is a monumental success. It’s lighthearted, but it has a strong plot. It’s cartoony, but appeals to all ages. If you’re a fan of Adventure Time, you’re going to LOVE Adventure Time with Fionna & Cake: Card Wars.

Pretty much any and all Adventure Time stories are okay by me. Ice King is one of my favorite characters, and I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of this series plays out. If it’s anything like the first issue, I’m stoked!

I have no idea where Gunter is, but hopefully these wizards can help Ice King out. I always liked Gunter. He can be a pushover, sure, but he’s adorable. Maybe the Ice King can stop thinking about himself long enough now to find him. As of now, he’s too into his new style and fitting in with his new friends. I have no doubt, though, that he is on the right track and will find Gunter soon enough. This is a great issue to add to an already amazing series in a very successful franchise. Definitely worth the read for any and all Adventure Time fans.

When you think of Adventure Time, you usually think of “Jake the Dog and Finn the Human,” rather than “Marceline the Vampire Queen.” This story is interesting for all Adventure Time fans, but if you love Marceline as much as I do, Adventure Time: Marceline Gone Adrift is definitely for you.

The writing in this issue is consistent with that of the last, in that it reflects the typical slang-imbued dialogue of the Adventure Time series. The artwork is the same, being the colorful and cartoony style that it is. This storyline is one of the more interesting ones, I mean, how many times do you see people shot into space? It’s all part of Adventure Time’s fantastical world of magical beings and candy people. It’s a lighthearted concept with some intense themes, and always fun.

Overall, I think it was a great idea to bring back a classic comic book and reboot it as a horror genre book. This is something we don’t see too often but, when done right, can be a raging success. I think that’s what we have here, with Afterlife with Archie. Needless to say, I recommend this book for anyone who used to read Archie, or anyone that wants to get into Archie.

Afterlife with Archie is just getting good, and things are taking a pretty big shift. Will Archie go after Reggie? Will Reggie defy his friends? Anything could happen, so keep reading and see what happens in the afterlife, with Archie and his Riverdale friends!

I highly recommend this book to any and all X-Men fans. It lives up its predecessor’s legend. Anyone who read the ‘90s version will be pleasantly surprised as to how intricate and amazing this new series is coming along. New fans will love it just as much as older ones loved the original, and then some. Check it out!

This comic book, though silent, is one of the best, most suspenseful, beautiful and majestic books I have laid my eyes upon. However, in order to appreciate and understand the cinematic feel to it, you need to set aside time to look very carefully at each panel, so as to fully comprehend what is going on. This isn’t a book to go through quickly, just because there are no words. And if you have the time to really enjoy it, I recommend it for every single one of you, no matter what your “style” of book is.

This is a beautiful conclusion to a very beautiful miniseries. All ends are tied up with suspense and action. With Delgado’s illustrations and Hill’s colors, this issue is visually stunning. It isn’t easy to provide a complete narrative without any words, but Delgado does it, and does it well. If you haven’t read this series, you’re missing out.

I’d say the first issue was a success, but it lacks one focal point or a center of struggle for both the Marvel Zombies and the robots. Nonetheless, it takes us into new regions of Battleworld to explore the conflict that’s happening there, and artistically speaking, it is done extremely well. This is definitely one to keep your eye on.

This series is already getting really intense, and we're only two issues in! That gives you plenty of time to catch up with future release dates. These are some iconic characters, in some pretty dangerous situations. There's bound to be a lot of action next issue, so stay tuned!

Issue #3 of Age of Ultron vs. Marvel Zombies is a success! Robinson and Pugh make one damn good team, and make this series as amazing as it is. This series will complete your life. Go pick it up and give it a read. Right now. Seriously, now. And…BREAK!

This miniseries has been a joy to keep up with. It’s a really intense and unique storyline that creates a whole new type of enemy. How cool is that?! Freaking zombies and robots; I can’t get over it. But once again, the heroes triumph. Well, it’s up for debate. Ultron and his army took a hit, but the heroes took an even bigger one, I think. Either way, this is one really awesome issue, and a great way to close out the series.

This book is intensely honest and beautifully disgusting, but you still won’t be able to stop reading, no matter how much your eyes squint and body cringes. Instead of taking a Golden Age character and bringing his old self back to life in a boring reboot of adventures we’ve already seen, Robinson and Hinkle create a new work of art worth all the praise that it gets, and much more.

Robinson and Hinkle have created a confessional and bold account of writing this series, with tons of juxtaposition between our world and Airboy’s. This is entertainment at its finest, and the very peak of creativity. If you miss it, well, sucks to suck. So pick it up and be utterly blown away.

I think I was right in predicting this to be an incredible series. We now have characters that are getting closer with each other (James and Airboy’s in-depth conversation), and new levels of characters that we haven’t yet seen. Airboy is exhibiting not only anger, but revenge. James even cries in this issue because he thinks he is bipolar, but he’s too scared to be medicated. From a medicated bipolar person’s standpoint, the tears are understandable. The characters are no longer dorks doing drugs; they’re turning into real human beings with emotions, who make mistakes and learn from them. It can only get better from here, so tag along for the awesomeness that is Airboy!

I have been a fan of the new Airboy series from issue #1. Greg and James create this series so perfectly, while in direct coordination with one another. The series brings back the old story of Airboy, while the creative team puts a modern and semi-autobiographical spin on it. This is definitely worth a read (for anyone over 18). I don’t care what genre you’re into or what you’ve heard about Airboy; I recommend it to each and every one of you, with the highest of regards.

This is a very artistic issue, in terms of both illustrating and writing. The whole Alabaster series is a good one, but you don’t need to have read it all to enjoy this miniseries. Kiernan definitely knows what she’s doing, and she creates an amazingly intriguing story for us to follow.

Overall, this is a good story. It is told in a simple way, meant for an audience of all ages. It teaches an important lesson, and leaves us with a very satisfying conclusion. This is definitely a book for a younger audience, but it is well worth the read for everyone.

Overall, I’d say this series has potential. It’s off to a pretty good start thus far, but has just a few inconsistencies. However, those can be fixed in subsequent issues. I’ll definitely be checking out issue #2 to see what happens, and you should, too.

Anyone who is even remotely a fan of the Aliens franchise needs to read this series. There are so many elements to just this one issue alone. We have suspense, horror, violence, atmosphere, AI, high technology, and a journey to save the human race. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and everyone interested in any of the aforementioned aspects of the series.

This is the start of an amazing series. I was a big fan of Logan as Wolverine, but Laura seems to be doing a good job thus far. For any fan of Wolverine and/or X-Men in general, this is a must-read.

This issue is more lighthearted than a lot of Batman stories we’ve seen. Snyder has showed us even more of his talents, and takes us on another crazy series with the one and only Batman. For fans of Snyder’s work and Batman as a whole, this is a must-read issue. You’re going to get a taste of Batman like never before, and I promise you’ll like it!

This is the start to what is going to be a great series. It’s awesome to see Hawaiian Dick back, and I am so excited to see what’s going to happen when Mike gets to Hawaii. If you’re as excited as I am, keep reading to see what happens!

As we all know, I'm big on nostalgia, and I'm a big '90s kid. That means I grew up with Peter and Mary Jane's relationship. This book hits home, in the best way possible. It's a heartfelt progression of a beloved character, over the span of what his life would have been like if the '90s Spider-Man stories carried out. This is a beautiful representation on one aspect of Peter Parker's life, and I can't wait to see where it goes from here. If you support Peter and Mary Jane's relationship, this book is definitely for you.

Aftershock is releasing a lot of really good books lately, and this is a great addition to their list. This issue is an amazing start to what I expect will be a really interesting series. Azzarello is doing a fantastic job of drawing us in, and it’s only the first issue! I can’t wait to see where he takes the series, and how his characters are interrelated, but I know it’s going to be good.

This isn’t a fun book to read in your spare time because you’re bored. This is a book to sit down with when you’ve got no other work to do, because it’ll make you think really hard about not only the situation in the book itself, but the concept of immigration as a whole. It’s a really serious book filled with tons of tension. You can’t afford to miss out on this coolness, so pick it up, and give it a read!

There are a lot of little hints here and there that Irizarri adds to make this series more controversial. And when it comes to books, the more controversial the subject matter, the better. This is turning out to be a really interesting story, and I’m hooked! Will the government step in and deport Owen? Will his debt be the death of him? Will he meet his family ever again?! Keep reading to see what happens!

This is a great start to what I expect will be an amazing series. Bennett is on my top 10 writers list, so I have no doubt that she’ll answer all our questions in due time. To comic lovers and animal lovers alike, you’ve got to give this issue a read.

This series is definitely worth the read, but must be read with a clear mind, in order to soak in all the weirdness and uniqueness of it. It has a very non-commercial aesthetic, and an intense script. Pick it up as soon as possible, and enjoy!

If you’re looking for some mild horror, a tale of heroism, and a good story, look no further. This series is going to be really interesting now that Artemisia has found her purpose for the next few issues. I can’t wait to see if she can save Grimoire and Beldora! If not, which will be spared, if any? Will Badlug take over both? Keep reading to find out!

Although the new Avengers movie, Age of Ultron recently came out and it was Iron Man who created Ultron (weird), I am so stoked for the Ant-Man movie coming out soon (and not just because I love Paul Rudd). Ant-Man has got his own series and his own movie now! He’s moving up the list and I couldn’t be happier about it. Check out the Ant-Man series.

This is a really fun, short Ant-Man story. You don't need to have read any Ant-Man stories previously to understand this one, so that's always good for Marvel newbies. For a really fun story that you don't need to research to understand, this issue is definitely the way to go.

Sci-fi seems to be a fad nowadays, and this book plays right into the hands of what the people want to see. I’m not going to tell you to drop everything and go pick up this book, but if you have some free time, go for it.

I am sad to say this is the end, but excited to say it’s the beginning of something else very special, unique, and just plain cool. Enjoy this book, and keep your eyes open in July for the all-new Archie.

I can honestly say I am thoroughly impressed by this issue and am insanely excited for the rest of this series. If you read Archie as a kid, even read one issue, you need to take a look at the new series. It is better than I expected, and there’s so much more to come. Here’s to our old friend and our new one, who will hopefully last all 666 issues that the original Archie did, if not more. Cheers!

It’s a difficult task, taking such an old and cherished character, and turning him (and his friends) into something completely different. Be that as it may, Waid and Staples are definitely the right duo to take on the challenge. So far, I’d say the all new Archie series is doing pretty well, and is giving us a brand new character, with the same old goofy-but-cute characteristics. If you’re an Archie fan, or ever were, you can’t pass this one up.

This series has been off to a great start. It’s not easy to reinvent a character as classic as Archie, but Waid and Staples are making it look effortless. I can’t wait to see what Waid has in store for us in the future. Judging by what we’ve seen so far, it’s going to be good!

Needless to say, this issue is a really good one. We get to see the history of present day Riverdale, and boy does it tell us a lot. I'm really curious to see what Betty, Jughead, and Reggie have planned for Archie and Veronica. There's no turning back now! If you even moderately like(d) Archie, you can't miss this awesome new, revamped series.

Archie is a classic series that Waid has taken to revamping for us. Thus far, he and the several artists he has worked with have done quite an amazing job of keeping things relative to the original while revving it up a bit. Nothing has been too safe or too “out there” for me, so I’m content with the speed Waid is moving the series here. For any and all Archie fans, this is a series you just can’t miss.

I don’t think I need to persuade anyone to pick this issue up but, in case you’re on the fence, I’ll tell you this: The all new Archie series is just building up to become something of the close group of kids we all know and love. I have no doubt that Waid is going to take us on quite the journey with these kids, so be sure to keep up with the series and enjoy the awesomeness that is Archie!

This issue is a great way to showcase Archie and his friends and their respective personalities. For anyone who is, by chance, just getting into Archie, this series is a great way to start. For any long-time Archie fan, this series is your chance to see what Archie is turning into. It’s great to see that such classic characters are still as popular and alive as ever, and I can’t wait for more!

The creative team on this series is doing a brilliant job at bringing Archie and his pals to life. It’s difficult to re-imagine such a well-known and revered series, but Waid and Fish do it with ease. I fully recommend this issue for anyone with even the slightest interest in Archie.

This series isn’t really picking up any fast pace, but it is definitely one that every Archie fan needs to read. Archie has been reborn, and this is it! Thus far, the creative team has done an amazing job on this series, and I can’t wait to see more!

This is a great issue for any Archie fan. I’m really hoping that we’ll see some new developments with Archie and Betty. Jughead had maybe one line in this issue, so it would be great to see him more, too. Bottom line, the plot is thickening, so keep reading to watch the madness unfold!

I was, in all honesty, expecting this book to be kind of stupid, because it's mixing old (Archie) with [fairly] new (Sharknado). Ferrante and Parent, though, are able to make it work just enough to be entertaining. I found myself gape-mouthed and scrunch-faced at some of the images. If a book can get me to do that, it's a good one to me.

All in all, if you like sci-fi, and if you ever liked Archie, do yourself a favor and read this series. It’s funny, dangerous, action-packed, a little violent, and just plain cool.

Ruiz’s artwork is cartoony and fun, with the cleverness of that classic Archie style. Jason Millet’s colors bring the animated style of the art come out even more. Being both an Archie lifelong lover and a Predator sci fi fanatic, this book has brought together two very different themes in one very awesome book. If you haven’t read it, man, it’s only four issues—come on.

Bottom line, if you like weird and cool things, this book was made just for you, with love and care and awesomeness. So pick it up, and prepare to be amazed.

Armor Wars doesn’t directly tie-in with Secret Wars, and I’m very thankful for that. I’m glad that we don’t see Victor Von Doom lurking around the corners of Technopolis, and Stark has jurisdiction here (under Doom, of course). Overall, this is a truly different and independent book, that I’m more than excited to see more of.

This is an incredible book, with truly entertaining stories. This kind of dark humor is a great way to lightheartedly deal with some serious issues that would otherwise make us rather uncomfortable. Paszkiewicz’s writing, and meaning therein, are really interesting to mull over. This is, without a doubt, one of the best—and most clever—comedic books I’ve read in a while. I strongly recommend it to anyone looking for a laugh.

The IX series is doing really well, and with these one shots, it’s bound to get more and more intriguing from here!

This is a sort of sequel to the Aphrodite IX series, but it very much different"which is actually really good (not that the first series was bad, but change in comic books just makes me giddy). Some stuff is the same, but not a lot. This series is meant to be the future of the evolution, progression from the last series. I have no idea where this is going from issue #1, and I'm glad I don't, because for once, the suspense feels kind of nice. Athena herself is a badass, going from ordering an execution to grabbing a weapon herself to dying and coming back to life, and crushing someone else's head with her bare hands"all in the first issue. Needless to say, I'm already addicted.

Overall, this is a really unique, interesting, and entertaining book. Atomic Robo has always been an interesting book because of Robo's adventures. Now, it's time for the focused scientists to have some adventures of their own!

This is a pretty good book, but the story line isn’t anything new. Nonetheless, it’s a different take on an old story, so it is well worth the read. Davis does an awesome job of creating great characters for an awesome co-op story mode.

This book is just one issue in a series of consistency and brilliance. Mignola, being Mignola, writes of the B.P.R.D. with ease and flow, letting us calmly but excitedly move from page to page with a hungering want for more. Instead of shoving a bunch of action at us, Mignola and Arcudi take their time to write out a story arc for us to be drawn into, and emotionally invested in—as much as Kraus is emotionally invested in finding himself and coming to terms with what he has done, as well as what he is yet to do. If you’re a Hellboy fan, you can’t afford to pass this book up.

Seeing that Arcudi is leaving the B.P.R.D. team next year, I'd certainly hope he'd go out with a bang, and close up this story arc with some really amazing conclusions, as well as answers. There are a lot of mini arcs that are not yet finished, I'd say, and despite the pain of waiting, I'm a B.P.R.D. supporter forever.

This is definitely an issue to read if you’re a Hellboy fan, or are even the least bit interested in the B.P.R.D. Mignola, Arcudi, and Tedesco make an awesome team that will bring more and more amazingness as issues pass by.

This series has consistently impressed me, and not just because I’m a fan of Hellboy. This is a truly somber issue about a ghost that isn’t necessarily evil, but knows what it wants. It’s a very entertaining and enthralling story that won’t let your attention go.

This is a really simple issue that really doesn’t contribute all too much to the overall story arc. The only thing that might move things forward is when Ashley says she might go back to the B.P.R.D. This comic has a really eerie tone to it, which is typical of the Hellboy franchise’s books. It truly does depict Hell on Earth, but it’s contained. Nothing too chaotic happened, so I’m kind of bummed about that. The creative team, however, did a fantastic job with this issue’s execution, so I’m pretty happy. For any and all fans of Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., this is a must-read.

This comic book definitely does the long-lasting franchise justice. I can’t wait to see all the characters come into play; this is sure to be an amazing series.

This series brings up two very important but often overlooked issues: War and mental illness. They are not always together but, when they are, it gets you right in the heart. The creative team has done an amazing job with the first issue, and Baron’s writing is bound to bring up even more controversial and stereotyped concepts to talk about. So, if you’re interested in these concepts, this book was made for you. This is a very solid first issue, and I can’t wait to read more!

It looks like this miniseries is going to dish out some action, adventure, and the mysterious tone of the Mignolaverse that we all know and love. This book is a great example of the awesomeness that Dark Horse will be releasing, and an amazing example of how amazing Mignola’s work is. Check it out!

This issue isn’t much more than exploration of the characters. There isn’t a lot of action and, when there is, it is only in a flashback. It’s a quiet issue with a lot of information to take in. Even so, I think it is a necessary issue to the series. From here, things are going to get a little more dangerous as they leave the graveyard. Until issue #3, there is much to think about after reading this one.

I’m a big Mignola fan, so of course I’m going to recommend this book to all of you. If you’re into rather sophisticated horror (not just slashers with gore and violence), this comic is definitely for you. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again: When a comic book can make you think beyond just the storyline, you know it’s a good one. This issue won’t let you down.

This book brings together a nice mix of suspense and horror, and is a gripping story of guilt, evil, and magical realism. It doesn’t have all the gore I would have liked, but thus far, I think it’s a story I’ll be keeping up with, and you should, too.

Overall, this is a great start to the series. I already have so many questions, and I’m immediately thinking of the possibilities. Cody is on medication, so maybe Allen has the unreliable narrator thing going on. Is this all one long hallucination? If Cody teams up with the creature of his nightmares, what will they do? How will they get revenge? Is the creature simply Cody’s subconscious mind? I’m already so stoked, and I can’t wait for more! This is definitely a must-read for any and every horror fan.

Parker writes both stories in such a way that they are fluid, go by quickly, and get the point across. There is no fancy language or extraneous one-liners to drizzle on top of an already readable script, and Parker knows it. Bottom line is, if you like Batman ‘66, you’ll appreciate the simplicity and good read of this issue.

This is a big throwback, what with the old school superhero costumes and all. This issue is both an entertaining story and a beautiful compilation of some really good illustrations. This entire series is one that every classic Batman fan should be reading. This Poison Ivy issue is an example of why.

We’re two months away from the series finale, so keep on reading, and get stoked for more old-fashioned Batman and Robin!

This is a simple issue that takes me back to the Batman TV show. This series is a great one, especially since you don’t need to read one issue to understand the next. These independent stories really help show off Batman and Robin for the heroes they are. It’s a must-read series for any Batman fan.

This is a really interesting one-shot that reveals a lot about Robin. The creative team has done a seriously epic job of writing and illustrating a story that leaves an impression. When I think about Batman, Robin’s name comes to mind naturally. If you’re the same way, you can’t afford to miss out on this impressive one-shot.

Being a big Batman fan myself, I’m looking forward to reading this storyline, and seeing where Tomasi can take the series.

This is a great one-shot for anyone who wants to see what the cats of Burden Hill are all about. For any and all cat lovers and paranormal buffs, this is a must-read.

This is the last issue of Betty and Veronica, for now. An all-new Betty and Veronica series is on its way to fit in with the new Riverdale Universe. I’m stoked to see what shenanigans Betty, Veronica, and the whole Riverdale crew will get into. At least we know there is never a dull moment with these two friends running around town.

This is a great issue that brings the gang back together for another nearly impossible endeavor to save the town, more or less. It should be really interesting to see how Betty and Veronica deal with their clashing viewpoints. Hopefully, Pop’s can still benefit from their fighting. Archie and Jughead make really good supporting characters, and Betty takes the lead in this issue. I’m hoping we get to see more of Veronica next issue. For any Archie fan, this is a must-read!

This is the best comic book I’ve read all week (competing neck and neck with Bob’s Burgers). Once I read the first bit of humor, I didn’t think I would like it too much (because I like my horror rather horrific), but hot damn was I proved wrong! This is definitely a fan of either genre. It has good storytelling through a flawless script, very telling artwork, and it’s a real treat to read.

Although all four main characters are kind-hearted and realistic people, I personally think they’re going to go for it. You can only go so far without money, and these old actors (and one actress) sound desperate. Despite the fact that robbing San Diego Comic Con is a not-so-bright idea, they seem like smart people, and will go about it in a tactical way. Honestly though, I have no idea if they will get away with it. There are two outcomes, and I’m 50/50. But, I’ll tell you this much: I can’t wait for issue #2 so I can see what happens!

It’s interesting to see actors without money, while today, most of them don’t know what to do with all of theirs. While it is an unusual circumstance, the readers are drawn to sympathize with them because us, the average comic book readers, don’t have millions of dollars ourselves. This storyline makes for a fun and captivating plot of people trying to get by, just like the rest of us.

At times, the work that Wiesch put together is almost too graphic for me. Clearly not one for the kids. In any case, it’s an amazing book with an incredibly true take on trauma, and should be read by the adult comic book readers out there—although even you might have to shield your eyes from some panels. It’s creepy, scary, eerie, twisted, and perfect.

I’m going to miss Big Man, but who knows if we’ll see more of him in the future? Hopefully he’ll get his own ongoing series instead of just a miniseries of four issues. As gory, violent, and disturbing as this comic book is, I can’t seem to get enough of it. Either I’m really messed up and deranged, or this is one damn fine book. I like to think it’s the latter. If you don’t have a weak stomach, I definitely recommend this one.

This is really a very silly and fun issue. There are some really dramatic moments that help balance out the humorous and histrionic plot. I’m stoked to see how this adventure goes. There are elements of horror in it, too, so I’m looking forward to any and all plot twists that happen in Hell. For any Bill & Ted fan, this is most definitely a must-read series.

Bill and Ted will forever be two characters that I love. No matter what shenanigans they’re getting into, I can always count on them for a hilarious story and historically awesome adventure. The creative team on this series has delivered on that front, and for that reason, I recommend this series to every single Bill & Ted fan out there.

With this zany brand of humor, an action-filled plot, and insanely emphatic illustrations, this series is one that every Bill & Ted fan needs to read. There is only one issue left, and I’m so excited to see what happens to Bill and Ted. Will their children actually kill them? Will the Reaper save them? Will they find a way out? Can they save Heaven? Keep reading to find out what happens in Bill and Ted’s latest crazy adventure!

The bold colors, surreal plot, and sheer emotional drama make this issue a must-read for any and every fan of the Bill & Ted franchise. This series has been truly ethereal, and without spoiling the ending, I’ll just say that the end of the series is not going to disappoint you.

Whether you’re looking for a new story or a sentimental throwback, Bill and Ted’s Most Triumphant Return is the best way to go. You’ll tear up from the nostalgia, and laugh from the sheer ridiculousness. Either way, you’ll have a good time.

There are some crazy images in this book that I haven’t seen utilized so well in a long, long time. Not to mention the suspense in this series is almost too much to handle! I like to think it’s just some really good storytelling, and I’m not that impatient. Either way, there is still so much good to come with this series. I am looking forward to more plot twists and breathtaking illustrations.

Overall, this is a good start to a very interesting series. If every issue is split up like this, I think it would actually work really well. It's really cool getting to see the present and past of Renear's life, and how they relate to each other. Plus, assassins are always awesome to read about!

This is a great introduction to the series. We don't get too much information, but just enough that Pruett reels us in with the "what if" of it all. So far, this series isn't anything more than literally some kids with black eyes walking around town, but I have high hopes that it'll turn into an enthralling story. This is going to be a good new horror series and, I don't know about you, but I can't wait to read the rest of it!

In any case, this issue is definitely worth reading. The plot is picking up the pace now, and we have finally established the threat. It's a Children of the Corn type of thing, but sometimes children can be the creepiest villains (especially with pitch black eyes). If you're into the horror genre at all, this series is the way to go for some quality storytelling and the entertainment of mystery. Check it out!

This is definitely for anyone who loves suspenseful horror books. This issue doesn’t really tell us much at all, so it gives readers a little breathing room between big events. Nonetheless, it is a creepy issue that I do recommend if you want to better understand the genre and/or series.

This series is a great read for any horror fanatic or even conspiracy theorist. A hint of paranoia will set in after reading each issue, but rest assured, it’s a healthy dose. Black-Eyed Kids isn’t as scary as it is unnerving, which is often times a lot better than straight up horror. This series is an amazing read, and I recommend it for anyone (of age) to check out as soon as possible.

There is a fair bit of background detail, adding to the realism of the story. Overall, though, the artwork isn’t too realistic. The entire issue has a mysterious tone to it, like we’re supposed to be waiting for something disastrous to happen. Following this unorthodox family as they live their everyday lives is actually quite interesting, given the scope of different personalities and characterizations. Things are only going to get more exciting, though, when the secret of their location and identities is threatened. The suspense is killing me! Read along to see how these heroes handle the next part of their lives together as a team.

This is one of the most enthralling comic books I’ve read this week, so if you get the chance, pick it up and enjoy!

This is a very thought-provoking issue. I’m sure the rest of the series will lead to even more theories and analyses than what I have right now. The creative team’s execution is phenomenal, and I cannot wait for more. Any book that makes me think beyond just the storyline is worth the read to me! Check it out, and tell us what your theories are on ComicWow.com!

The creative team spent most of the first two issues taking care of the exposition. Next issue, we should get to see some more action. This series is starting to get really good, so pick up this issue to keep up with the journey north!

This issue is a unique take on Natasha. We get to see the powerful Black Widow as an emotional human being (in a good way). For anyone who is a fan of the Black Widow, this is a must-read.

This is a great start to a story that I genuinely hope I get to see more of. It's dark, creepy, real, and mysterious. I'm already intrigued, and I don't think I'll stop any time soon.

I don't read many Titan books, but when I do, they never disappoint. Blood Thirsty is an amazing book, with action, gore, and a whole lot of mystery. The fun has just begun, so make sure to keep up and see what happens next!

This is really just a bunch of shenanigans that ensue from absolutely nothing, and they’re humorous because of just that. I’d say this is a solid first issue that gives us a taste of what to expect in the future. The best part? You don’t need to keep up to understand the stories or enjoy them. I couldn’t tell you how much I love that.

This issue is most definitely a success. It has humor, drama, science fiction, love, and freaking pirates, man! If you’re into any of that, you’ve got to read this issue.

This issue is a great way to add to the silliness that is Bob’s Burgers. For anyone who is already a fan, you can’t pass this one up. For anyone who wants to become a fan, these are three stories that will surely keep you entertained. The Belcher family as a whole is something we all need more of.

Each of these stories has some element of magical realism, which isn't really what the show is about. The show was meant to reflect everyday life and the struggles/joys we experience therein. These are great stories, but it's hard for me to accept them as Bob's Burgers stories. Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading them. I would definitely recommend this issue for any Bob's Burgers fan out there.

These are three great stories from three of the most awesome kids I've ever seen. If you're looking for a good read, these kids' stories won't let you down. If you're not a Bob's Burgers fan yet, get hip to it! You won't regret it.

The point of this series isn’t to relive the TV show, but to use the TV show as a base to create new, original stories. The writers and artists on this series come up with some seriously entertaining stories. Regardless of how it fits in with the TV show, these are good stories that showcase the perfect characterization that has been done by the scriptwriters for the show. This is another great issue to add to a series that takes our favorite animated show a bit further. This is definitely a must-read for any Bob’s Burgers fan.

Any fan of Bob's Burgers is going to love this issue. It's all "Tina's Erotic Friend Fiction," so Tina Belcher super fans will like it even more. For a light read with a lot of action and humor, this is definitely the way to go.

For any Bob's Burgers fan, you'll know that this story isn't like the TV show in that it is really "out there." The TV show is a more realistic show in terms of concept. It deals with everyday situations"not being able to pay your bills, going to school, running a business, being a parent, etc. the kids are eccentric, but the comic book series always takes things a step further. So, fans of the TV show will be in for a nice treat when the three kids get into even more crazy antics here than on the TV. I definitely recommend this issue for any and all fans of Bob's Burgers"especially people like me, whose spirit animal is the one and only Louise Belcher.

Valiant’s next big event is here, and it’s off to a great start. Although we don’t see the whole of the character cast just yet, we know they’re coming. Venditti uses his characters to tell the story for him, so we can only expect that the best is yet to come. If possible, read The Valiant before you start reading this. If you won’t because you’re just that stubborn, new readers will still be able to understand this book. Either way, it’s worth your time.

Overall, I’d say this first issue is a success. It draws readers in and keeps their attention. At the end, there is a little twist, and the consequences of that twist is what we have to look forward to. I think this is going to be one awesome series, so keep up, and share your thoughts with us!

This story was a fast read, but completely worth it for both the art and lighthearted humor. These warriors have a good lesson to teach all of us about working together and accepting each other.

I’m looking forward to whatever battle will happen next issue. I hope the werewolves battle it out with the vamps; that would be a nice fight to see. It’s an age old conflict, but it never gets old. Next month, we get to see where the vampires reside! Keep reading, you little horror hounds, to see what happens next!

Bottom line is, you need to read this series. There isn’t much originality in horror anymore, but this is a pretty damn original story line. Coupled with some brilliant and emotional artwork, it’s some of the best modern horror I’ve read in a long, long while.

This has been my favorite series lately for a lot of reason. Minimalistic writing that still packs a punch, a dark and brooding tone, monsters taking over Earth (actually, monsters in general), artwork that isn’t as “polished” as mainstream comic books’ art, and so much more. If you’re into horror in the least bit, you can’t pass this series up.

Making this book strangely relatable was a good move on Barbiere and Peterson’s part. Any form of entertainment that someone can imagine themselves in is one that is going to be a hit. That’s why we cry while watching movies or reading novels—not because it’s a sad story, but because we are picturing ourselves in that exact same situation (i.e. The Notebook). In a science fiction yet realistic story, both Barbiere and Peterson are able to evoke emotions out of the reader that just make them want to read more (honestly, I was upset when I got to the last page). This isn’t the easiest thing to do, so I recommend you read this book to see just how it’ll tug on your heart strings, and boggle your mind.

This book is one that I love to keep up with. The series is home to a unique and interesting plot that we ourselves can put our lives in to think of what choices we would make if put in Elena’s situation(s). There was some foreshadowing to the use of weaponry against Elena and her two friends, so we’ll have to read issue #3 to find out what happens!

Needless to say, this is worth the read. Despite the fact that we’ve read it and seen it in films before, it’s still a concept that we find interesting, and one that we won’t lose interest in any time soon. So, read this book as soon as you can, and with an open mind, too.

The second I saw “Bruce Lee” in the title of this issue, I knew it was going to be absolutely EPIC. I never thought Bruce Lee and sci-fi would mix together so well, but they do! I know there are tons of Bruce Lee fans out there. All of you need to read this issue and see Bruce Lee back in action—The Dragon Rises!

Any Bruce Lee fan will enjoy seeing the master himself come back to life and kick butt again! This is a great issue that sets everything up for Bruce to get some answers about just what the heck is going on with his life. Keep reading to see what happens!

The storyline is easy to understand and keep up with, so I’m pretty excited that it sinks in with just one read. The creative team has done an amazing job on this premiere issue, and things are looking really exciting. It can only get better, so keep on reading to see where this adventure takes us!

This issue moves the story forward quite a bit. The story is actually believable as the cast stops to take care of their own personal problem. This is definitely a must-read book for all you  Buffy the Vampire Slayer (comic series and/or TV show) fans.

The storyline is strong, and the art brings the story to life. You’ll feel like you’re watching a movie. Suspense alone will draw you in once you start reading this new series. If you like being on the edge of your seat, give Burning Fields a shot.

This book is dark, monstrous, and unique. I don’t say “unique” very often, so when I do, it’s for a series that deserves that title. C U NEXT TUESDAY is an awesome book that is definitely one to keep an eye on.

This is an awesome addition to the series, and puts the characters in a really good position. They’ve started an investigation, they have some leads, and they’re feeling determined. I’m pretty stoked for issue #3. I feel some action coming!

This is yet another teen superhero story, but it incorporates the concept of war pretty nicely. I’m suspicious of both Ms. Greene and why Ryder’s grandfather wants him to forget his parents so much. This is a great premiere issue, but I want MORE!

Nonetheless, it is a great piece of fiction about a really awesome section of the military. If you’re obsessed with CoD, you’ll love it. So for all of you who are just like me, this is definitely a must-read.

Overall, Ewing brings a lot of social issues  to his writing. More than the issues at hand, this book focuses on the individual characters. This isn’t something I see too often, but when I do, it’s like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs. I know you know the feeling; don’t even deny it. If you’re anything like me, and love reading about the individual characters in respect to one another, you have got to check this out—and let me know what you think!

All in all, this is a really good first issue. It takes us for a nice travel through time ourselves, to when Steve and Bucky were in the war, kicking some serious butt. We get to see a very emotive Steve, along with really expressive supporting characters. This is a solid issue, and I’m pretty stoked to see what issue #2 has for us. Keep reading to see what happens!

Even though the script could be better, it still gives us a really interesting story to work with. We have interesting characters that I’d like to know more and care about and, who knows, maybe it’s coming! Future issues will tell… The artwork, along with Will Quintana’s colors, makes this issue a complete and utter success.

It’s not easy to re-start an old comic book that didn’t do well, some 35 years ago. But Andrasofszky dares to venture into the re-making and re-vamping of this superhero, and clearly, it was a good decision. The world that he creates is all too easy to become immersed within; that’s how I know it’s a good book. If you haven’t already, go to your local comic book shop and pick it up!

Captain Canuck is the perfect upbeat, non-brooding superhero that every kid"and yes, even adult"should know about. This is a series that I want to keep up with, and I don't usually actively keep up with much. If you're looking for a good superhero book that's not as mainstream as the usual Avengers and other Marvel heroes, this is it.

These are some seriously righteous stories that are unfortunately justified to be true in the world today. It’s really upsetting, but honestly, I’m not sad after reading this issue. I’m pretty happy to see that I’m not the only one who thinks a lot of the world is unreasonable. Not only that, but these stories aren’t random tales told for the Hell of it. They have purpose and meaning; they make you think. It has been a long time coming, but the CBLDF has done a damn fine job of letting this industry finally get a hand at telling the truth. For anyone who is interested in current events/issues, you can’t pass this book up.

This is a really great story. This issue is really lively and energetic. It goes by at a fairly fast pace because of that. For anyone looking for an action-filled, fun story (with a little horror thrown in), this is it. Enjoy!

This issue is a freaking brilliant. The creative team has done an amazing job creating a protagonist that sticks with us even after we finish reading, and I am already itching for more!

This issue is a great way to kick off the new series, with its action-packed war zones and internal turmoil. The Blue is suffering from lack of resources and The Iron is suffering from overpopulation and lack of space. It’ll be interesting to see how Rogers and Stark work this all out together—if they do. Who’s to say what Captain America has up his sleeve for Iron Man to face? How will he end the war? How will Stark colonize his people afterwards? You’ll have to keep reading the series to find out!

This series was a really good idea, pitting Cap against Iron Man, and fan against fan. Each issue’s cover has the question, “Whose side are you on?” on it, and it’s a valid question at that. If you’re not already reading the series, it’s about time.

Overall, this issue is a really interesting one. There are some questions we are left with that will surely be answered in future issues, but for now, we’re at the beginning of one of the biggest war that Battleworld has seen thus far!

This is a great tie-in to Marvel’s summer event that is Civil War II. I’m stoked to see how everything fits together. I actually hope we see more of Damage Control. The only thing that throws me off about this issue is the cover. We have Iron Man, Captain Marvel, the Hulk, Deadpool, Captain America, She-Hulk, the Vision, and all the big heroes that you all know about—but they are nowhere in the issue. The few times they appear, it’s only for a panel or two at a time. That’s a bit deceptive, but the issue is worth a read.

Overall, this issue is a great story that presents adventure, action, and adolescence. The humor mixed in makes it even better, to break the tension. This is a cute issue that’s worth the read for anyone, especially kids.

Cluster #1 is the start of a very interesting and entertaining story, what with the aliens and such. The story will draw you in and the artwork will enthrall you. The issues to come hold answers to so many questions proposed in this first one, and surely more alien battles!

The creative team behind Memetic has brought us another seriously epic series. This series explores our want for control, our idea of a perfect world, and the consequences that come with playing “God.” Everyone believes they will always depend on themselves, but that isn’t the case in Cognetic. This psychic story is definitely one to keep up with.

If you’re squeamish, try not to linger on the visuals that much. Overall, this book is perfect! The writing is so in depth and entertaining, and the artwork complements it perfectly. It’s a really nasty book that you have to read. It’s for your own good, I promise.

This issue was a great way to end the series. It is nothing short of incredible, and I fully recommend that everyone (over 16ish) gives it a solid and attentive read.

This is, without a doubt, one of this year’s must read books. I am astonished by this plot, surprised by its start, excited for more, and emotional just thinking about Wes Craven in general. Thank you, sir, for everything you have given us. We will always remember you—in the scariest of ways.

This issue is the start of a series that I think is going to be really successful—at least really entertaining. It is going to be quite a dramatic one, and I am so ready to learn the secrets that Brady is hiding from the public. If you are, too, pick up this issue and read along!

Convergence marks an event like no other. A merging so monumental that it cannot be ignored. The universe is in danger, and the cities’ citizens even more so. Read along to see what happens to them, and if Superman has any say in their fate.

Godlewski’s artwork is clean and neat, without too much shadowing to create any sort of dark atmosphere. He is detailed, but not too detailed so as to take more attention than the script. He creates creatures that we’ve never seen before in a town that we’ve never heard of, so that we will be more interested to hear about something new, and he does it extremely well. This one is definitely on my top 10 this week.

This is a pretty interesting series so far. Carter does an awesome job of creating intrigue and thought. There is a lot of room for some really interesting things to happen, and I hope Carter takes advantage of that. I’m looking forward to next issue already; this is definitely worth a read.

This is a nice continuation of this storyline, and it's creating a lot of new problems that need tons of answering. I don't think superpowers are the worst of the group's problems. You'll have to keep reading to see what happens next!

This book touches on serious issues that happen in society today as well as decades ago, like the concept of cults, lack of funding for college programs, modern science, and the overall thought process of the young adult. It’s a great and fun way to learn a lot of interesting things and enjoy a really intense yet funny story. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the aforementioned concepts.

This is a fantastic issue, with six amazing stories to scare the pants off of you, and make your sides hurt from laughing. With so many writers and artists, Creepy has given itself room to experiment with different styles of this medium, and tell some really brilliant horror-comedy stories.

Creepy never lets me down in terms of mystery, horror, intrigue, and even laughs. This is a great issue to contribute to an already iconic series. I definitely recommend picking this up as soon as you can. Stay creepy, my friends, and read on!

This issue provides yet another amazing collection of Creepy stories for our enjoyment. This probably won’t scare you much, but it’s a bit unsettling, so beware. For all you horror fans who just can’t get unsettled anymore, this issue is a walk in the park. Sit back and enjoy the madness!

This is a slow first issue, but good for getting an understanding of who the protagonist is. There is no central issue just yet, but we will have to see what unravels from here. I think Paradox is going to start some beef with the superheroes, but who's to say? Keep reading to find out what happens!

The story has a great pace and talented, remarkable take on one monster whose legacy goes back centuries. This is a really great premiere issue to a series that is undoubtedly going to be a successful one. For anyone who’s even moderately into werewolves, you’ve got to check this out.

I think it goes without saying that this is a series that everyone needs to check out, even more so if you’re a fan of werewolves. This is an amazing take on an old tale. It is written and illustrated with precision and creativity, making it look and read like nothing you’ve read before.

The X-Files fans, get ready to do some reading, because you’re going to drool over this new Dark Horse series. I’m really excited to see how Mars is going to deal with the attacker. I actually really want to learn more about him, too. Does he hate the government, too? How did he find out about the Shadow Government? Is he attacking anyone in particular? Why is he attacking—does he want anarchy, or is he just expressing frustration? This series is going to be good, so make sure to keep up with it as the cryptocracy unravels! If you've never experienced paranoia, get ready.

            This is a new take on the concept of gang violence, and an exceptional take on the concept of feminine power. It’s worth the read solely for the plot, and even more so when you take the writing and art into consideration. So sit back, relax, and read an awesome book about men versus women: street style.

This is a really interesting book when it comes to looking at the sociological impacts that tourism has, as well as expanding our knowledge of the Hawaiian culture. Carter does a fine job of getting us to really think about what it means to be, and even have to deal with, damn tourists.

Carter does a good job of depicting the typical tourist for us, hyperbolized. Overall, this is a pretty entertaining story, and a fun read.

This series has a really good message with some very interesting execution. You’ll feel annoyed and humored all at once. This is definitely a series to check out.

This is an essential read for any Daredevil fan. It’s brutal, honest, and just perfect. Soule and Garney are the perfect team to tell Daredevil’s story. This reboot is definitely one to keep up with.

I’m beyond stoked to see what Soule has coming up next, especially since the trial has taken some turns here and there. Soule has pleasantly surprised me with some of the best Daredevil material I’ve read in quite a long time. If you’re a fan of the hero, this series is a must-read.

This is a great issue. We get an alliance that is nothing like what we would have guessed, and the entire issue is aesthetically pleasing from cover to cover. This series is definitely an essential for any and every Daredevil fan out there.

This is a great way to start the series off. There is a lot of action and tension between Daredevil and the Punisher. It’ll be interesting to see how their interactions develop during the series. I’m excited to see where things go, and I have no doubt that Soule is the perfect person to make this series as entertaining as can be!

This series is definitely a must-read for any Daredevil and/or Punisher fan. To see these two go against each other is both entertaining and suspenseful. Seeing them work together will only be better, so stick around to see how these two heroes deal with the Crimson Dynamo!

This issue doesn’t give us anything too new in the series. We’re still looking at the Punisher vs Daredevil, and they’re both still trying to kill/save Antonov. However, Blindspot sort of comes to the forefronts of this issue, which is really awesome. This is a series for any Punisher or Daredevil fan. There’s action, fighting (maybe too much fighting without any pay out), chasing, and the freaking S.W.A.T. Team! What’s going to happen?!

This is a really cool story with a lot of action and a lot of vibrancy to it. Big stories like this with a "quest" or "journey" are always really entertaining. There are always things that go wrong on the journey, or side trips that need to be made, and it's awesome to keep up with. I have a feeling this series is going to be a success!

The creative team working on this series is seriously on point. This issue is a fantastic way to further the story and show how harsh this trip will be for Fira and Aldrich. So, keep reading, and take the journey with them! This issue comes out on June 1st from Titan Comics, so make sure to grab a copy and see what havoc awaits you!

All in all, this is a solid issue that helps move forward the plot. There are a lot of questions I still have, but I’m sure Mann will reveal all in subsequent issues. Fira and Aldrich have passed this milestone in getting the last relic of Andolus, and now it’s on to the last stretch of their journey. Keep reading to see what fresh Hell they face next time in Dark Souls.

Gorham’s artwork compliments Kot’s writing skills, as he draws an angular protagonist with an especially expressive face. And as if this book wasn’t good enough already, there’s a van of ninjas at the end and a very sad panel of one lonesome crossbow laying on the concrete. We’ll have to see what happens next. I think it’s safe to say I’m a big fan of this series, and you should be, too.

Overall, this book will draw you in. The action has just begun, so there is more awesomeness to come, and a political story of war is always an interesting one. This was a good introduction to the series, getting us geared up for what is going to happen next. The best is yet to come, so keep your eyes peeled for this series in the future.

Dead Vengeance is probably going to become my new obsession, because it brings together two of my favorite genres, and it does so really well. For anyone who just can’t decide between horror or crime, you don’t have to! Pick up this gem of a book and get to reading!

This story, thought a bit predictable, is a very interesting one. After all, who doesn’t like a good zombie story, especially nowadays?

This is a great series that keeps getting better and better. We finally get to see a zombie story from the point of view of the zombie. Morrison and Rodriguez work together to create a really unique and interesting story. I’m stoked to see how Morrison wraps up the series in issue #4. Keep reading to see!

Overall, this was a great series. It had horror, crime, mystery, and a freaking carnival. There are some really awesome themes in this series that make it definitely worth a thorough read. For a fan of any and all these genres, this compilation of them makes one badass story.

Overall, this book is AMAZING. Craig’s artwork just brings everything together, even when Marcus’ faux ghost rises up to the “normal” world, and he [doesn’t] live(s) among the people he sees every day. Remender’s writing is so natural and fluid that it’s almost eerie, how well he knows what these teenage kids would say, in any given situation. It’s just so amazing and you have to pick it up or else we can’t be friends, bye.

This series is constantly surprising me, with every issue. Remender and Craig make quite the creative team, and give us a story that is definitely worth reading. I can’t wait to see if Marcus will be able to escape the ENTIRE SCHOOL. Hopefully he still has a friend or two left who will try and help him.

This issue brings in a darker tone to the Deadpool series, showing a side of Wade that we barely ever catch a glimpse of. The creative team has done an amazing job of showing his vulnerability. This is a brand new way of looking at Wade, and all Deadpool fans need to read it to see that he isn’t just a mouthy dude who kills people.

Deadpool is a title I will always read. Now that Cable is in the picture, this should be one really exciting adventure. We’re only on issue #1, so keep up with the releases to follow Deadpool and Cable on this hilarious, action-packed journey!

This is a really cool issue. Despite all the Deadpool one-shots coming out, this is to be published as a monthly series. I’m pretty stoked to see just how much money some people are willing to spend on this special case. That “junked-up robot” is a familiar face, and I can’t wait to see what you all think when you read this issue! For any Deadpool fan, this is a must-read.

Overall, this is a great opening issue. Now that we know the dynamic that Deadpool and Gambit have, it'll be a lot easier to get through the series. These two have a great chemistry and really lively personalities, so the series is definitely not going to disappoint us.

It’s going to be really cool to see Deadpool and Thanos work together. I was kind of looking forward to the two of them battling it out for Death’s love, but a tag team with them doesn’t sound too bad, either. With Deadpool’s fast moves and Thanos’ raw power, this series is bound to have some memorable moments. Keep reading to find out how these two work together!

This issue has so much action and adventure in it. Deadpool and Thanos are well on their way to finding Death and restoring the balance on Earth. We have something to look forward to, as there is going to be one Hell of an encounter next issue. Pun totally intended. Death told Deadpool to find the “Man from Hell.” I can’t wait to see what this unusual duo are going to do next!

Any Deadpool fan needs to check out this one-shot. It doesn’t require any previous knowledge, really, and it’s insanely entertaining. The creative team has done a great job with this story, and the execution is nearly flawless. This issue won’t let you down.

This is a great addition to the Deadpool franchise. Masacre the Mexican Deadpool is quite the character, and it’s pretty fun to see the similarities and differences between him and Deadpool. This issue has the same humor that we are used to seeing in any Deadpool book, and is just a fun issue to read. For any Masacre and/or Deadpool fan, this issue is definitely a must-read.

Deadpool’s Secret Secret Wars stays true to the DP style, as a tie-in with Secret Wars—that doesn’t tie in at all, whatsoever…Seriously, this never happened; Deadpool just tried to change history. Even if it is Deadpool’s story within a Deadpool story, it’s still as entertaining as ever, with the clever wit and weird charm of our friend, the Merc with a Mouth.

This is an interesting take on a classic crossover. I’m going to say this is one crossover I haven’t gotten sick of yet. There are a lot that are amazing, but some that I’ve just seen too much of already. This is one that keeps the tone light and fun, with a sense of humor throughout the entire issue. If you were a fan of the original Secret Wars, you should definitely read this series.

This series has taken us on quite the ride. The Secret Wars we knew. Technically, it all makes sense. Someone simply wished that Deadpool be forgotten. But then again, how much can we trust Deadpool’s retelling of events? It’s up to you to decide what you believe. All I know is this was one Hell of a miniseries, and I am even more of a Deadpool fan than I was before!

I think the Kellers are two people who genuinely understand horror, and have a plan as to executing their own. With mystery, intrigue, and just plan uneasiness, these boys have started something good—and something we won’t soon forget.

If you like good storytelling, this is for you. If you like good artwork, this is for you. If you like horror, this is your holy grail. Enjoy it. Savor it. Love it.

This is a series I just can’t seem to get enough of. For a horror hound like me, this stuff is golden. It’s not the typical slasher or supernatural horror that we see these days. It’s moving at a steady pace that keeps us interested, but not bored. It looks like there will be some really cool discoveries next issue, so I can’t wait to get my hands on it! If you haven’t read issues #1-3, you have some time to catch up before #4 is released. Get reading so we can talk about how awesome this series is!

Both Nero and Simmonds have created a beautiful sequel to an already successful book. I don’t read British comic books too often, but this, along with Surface Tension, are two that I am going to keep my eye on. If you can, get to your local comic shop and pick up a copy ASAP!

This is a rather simple concept for a story, but there is a lot of detail within it. This series is a wonderfully written, beautifully drawn, and exquisitely colored piece of work that is most definitely worth the read.

This series definitely has the potential to be great. It has an interesting premise, but Barbiere does little to make us actually care about Dejah. It all seems a bit rushed, but the good thing is it’s a relaunch that new readers can easily understand. This series could be great, so make sure to keep up and see what happens!

For a premiere issue, this is one entertaining story. If just one issue has me this enthralled, the subsequent issues are going to be AWESOME! This series is most definitely one to keep an eye on; big things are coming.

This is an insanely interesting story with artwork that just further proves the urgency and danger of Mia’s situation. I mean, the design of the suit that she wears is beautiful! We’re going to see things like this throughout the series, I’m sure. Matt Kindt has said that the inspirations for this series include “the 1970s GI Joes, the Fisher-Price Adventure People toy line, Tintin, Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler, Moby Dick, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Sherlock Holmes, Jacques Cousteau, and a healthy fear of drowning.” If you’re into mysteries and enjoy any of the aforementioned influences, join Mia on her underwater adventure!

This issue is a great follow-up to the first of the series. Now, there is an even bigger problem than murder for this team and it'll be fun to see how they handle it. Hopefully Mia and Raj can put aside their differences to save the entire staff. I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole of this Colossus Squid, so I really hope Kindt shows it off next issue. We'll have to wait and see!

The creative team on this series is doing a great job thickening the plot and getting us more interested. Nothing all too substantial happens in this issue to move Mia’s murder investigation forward, but her search for her father’s killer is going to become a lot more difficult.

This issue is definitely a success. We get a lot of character development and a lot of mystery. Even though this is a story about robots, we still get a decent amount of emotion thrown in. This is a brilliant end to the first story arc of the series. This is one of the best new series that Image has released lately, and I’m already itching for more.

This series is a good way to keep fans busy until Deus Ex: Mankind Divided comes out. As of now, I'm not feeling too much of a connection with the characters, but I'm hoping that'll change. I want to feel emotionally invested in them, but it's just not happening. That issue aside, this issue is an amazing start to a filler series. It has a lot of action, a lot of violence, and an interesting storyline. For any fan of the video games, you've got to check this out. For anyone else, it's worth a read to get into the story.

This is going to be a fantastic series. It has so much depth to it. It's honest, brutal, and super entertaining. Trust me, you'll be enthralled from page one.

This is a great addition to the series. Unfortunately, Raja hasn’t gotten any closer to the cure. However, she has escaped Gil’s controlling grasp on her. From here, hopefully she can make it through the debris and gunfire long enough to make her way to the cure. This is a really interesting and entertaining series, so I definitely recommend checking it out as soon as you can!

We’re just starting to see what Dee is capable of, so I’m stoked to see what else she can do, and how it will help/destroy everyone around her. Hesse has done an awesome job with the opening issue in terms of creating a world we’re interested in and conflict that is entertaining. I can’t wait to see what future issues hold!

Overall, this first issue is a nice start to a really fun crossover. It’s awesome to see this story start up with a crazy yet stable base of artwork, and a storyline that seems like it’s going somewhere good. Doctor Who fans are definitely going to have fun reading this crossover, and I think I am, too!

All in all, this series is doing well for itself. It's a lot of fun, and a lot of harmless fun, at that. These are classic characters in really innocent situations, which I absolutely adore. If you watched these kinds of cartoons or read these kinds of books in the '90s and before, you're going to love this series. So give it a shot!

This is a great first issue of the series. I’m stoked to see who the magister wants dead, and I really hope we get to see more mages in the rest of the story. Dark Horse has been putting a lot of great books out lately, and this is no exception to the mastery that is being published these days. This is yet another series to keep an eye on—because big things are about to happen.

We get to see a lot of serious subject matter here, which I absolutely love. We see war, familial tension, an unjust society, and the difference between two generations. The creative team avoids the usual romanticism of war and glorification of violence; instead, this series, thus far, seems like it is going to be more realistic—and I’m so thankful for that. It forces us to think, to learn, and to debate. This is an interesting and very promising premiere issue to the series, and I can’t wait for more.

This is an overall good issue. This series, however, is tough to follow. I haven’t been keeping up as much as I’d like to, so I had to research a little before I read this issue. Once you’re into it, though, it’s worth the read. After this issue, this is a series I will definitely be keeping up with more than I have been.

This is a brilliant issue, in terms of both writing and art. I am so excited to see where Burnham and Culver are going to take this series. It’s getting really intense right now, so whatever they have planned to wrap up this series is going to be brutal!

Overall, this series is looking pretty damn good. There is a lot going on, which leaves a lot of room for Fields to develop the story further. There are some really dramatic moments that Olivent renders perfectly. This is definitely a series to keep up with; you can't afford to miss an issue of this awesomeness!

This story goes by at a steady pace, holding interest until the very end. The storyline and artwork go together beautifully, and create a book worth the time of any story-lover, comic book nerd, and Edward Scissorhands fan. So find some money in your couch cushions, and head on over to your neighborhood comic book shop!

I’ve had my eye on this series for a while, just because I love the movie. Now I’ve got my eye on this series because I love this series. It’s an amazing and original take on the classic film, and a creative take on comic book writing and art. If you don’t already, I strongly suggest you keep up with this series to find out just what the Hell Dr. Wells has up her sleeve, and if there is some hero coming to save Milly, Megs, and Edward (personally, I think Aidan will have somewhat of a big role next issue).

Everything about this series draws me in. Leth has done a fine job of taking the classic story and making it her own, and Rausch has done well to visually justify her stories. If you haven’t read this series yet, it’s about that time!

We’re at issue #10, so it might be hard for new readers to follow (like it was for me), but it’s a really great series that, if you have the time to, you should definitely read. This isn’t an issue you’d want to miss.

This issue is a great start to what I’m guessing will be a very dramatic and action-packed series. Already we’ve seen so many emotions, and it’s only going to get more intense from here. This is one sci-fi series you won’t want to miss.

This book is the perfect mix of sci-fi and just plain dark comics, with a gloomy story and brooding protagonist. There are a lot of questions left unanswered at the end of this issue, but the book moves at a steady pace, enough to make waiting for the answers well worth it.

This is a really intricate, action-packed issue. Alexander’s artwork has got to be my favorite part. The inks are done so well, and everything comes across with such a dramatic appeal that I can’t help but adore it. Alexander is definitely starting to let us see the bigger picture of everything, so now is a great time to start keeping up with the series!

I actually picked up this book because I knew it was about magic, and Cassidy is in high school. Literally my thought was, “I love Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, so why wouldn’t I love this?” Although Cassidy is far different from Sabrina, I was right about loving this book. It’s well-written, has beautiful illustrations, and it’s really fun. Anything with magic is okay by me. If you’re into magic and/or technology, this book is definitely for you.

If you haven’t seen the Evil Dead movie, this book might be a little bit hard to grasp, but there’s a mini-overview at the beginning of this issue. If you have seen it, please don’t hesitate when it comes to picking up this book; you won’t be disappointed.

This is a great addition to the Evil Dead franchise. The creative team did a fine job of creating an interesting and suspenseful story with subplots that don't get in the way of the main storyline. If you're a fan of Evil Dead, you've got to get your hands on a copy of this!

For any Evil Dead fans, this is an issue you want to check out. See Ash in action as he scares and defeats tons of demons under Hitler’s control. An epic fight comes at the end that will surely make you laugh. This is a great issue, with some humorous lines throughout the entire story for comic relief. This is definitely one to check out if you’re into comedic horror.

This is not to say you need to be into politics to enjoy the comic. There is a lot action in this issue, real relationship stresses, and an uprising that you can’t help but support after seeing Sam’s actions. It’s a dense comic with intense subject matter, and it holds your attention because of such. A serious comic with tons of action makes for a very good read. I really enjoyed it.

This issue is a great way to be entertained if you’re already a fan of the Chaos! books. Ernie holds the fate of the world and the afterlife in his hands, and it’s going to be a crazy road to redemption—if we ever get there. For a fun read with a strong horror aspect thrown in, this book is the way to go. Pick it up from your local comic book shop on August 3!

The creative team has done a great job introducing this new superhero and her unique style. Faith is a wonderfully lighthearted and charming story about a truly loveable character. This series is most definitely going up from here, so make sure to keep up!

This is a really solid issue. Faith is a series that is quickly making a name for itself. Zephyr is unlike a lot of mainstream superheroes in the best way possible. She is a really complex character, and I can’t wait to see more of her. I’m looking forward to seeing if the goons that invaded Zipline Magazine are going to catch her. Things are getting intense!

Things are definitely heating up in this series. I’m so ready to see what happens next but, for now, my mind is blown. Be sure to read Faith #3 to catch up with this amazing series!

This is a proud sci-fi comic book with a lot of really awesome concepts coming into play, from aliens to some insane next-gen technology. There are even a few panels of the new planet the crew discovers (it looks positively treacherous). I’m stoked to see more of this planet, and next issue will bring on the aliens!

The point is, both old and new fans will enjoy this book. It is beautiful looking and a very smooth read. This truly is a unique and entertaining book. I strongly suggest you check it out.

Being a life-long fan of horror and poetry, this book is right up my alley. It combines horror, eloquence, and artwork to create one amazing book that should be read by any and all horror fans. If you can, read this book aloud; it makes all the difference. Cabeen has put quite a bit of work into this book, and it definitely shows.

The first issue involves binaries of light and dark, old and young, and safe and adventurous, to propose the choices we are forced to make as both child and adult. Being a comic for all ages, children can imagine the adventure and adults are offered a chance to relive their own.

In the end, it’s good to know that poor Sebastian still has his lifelong imaginary “friend.” For new readers of Fight Club, I promise you will enjoy this book. For old ones, stay tuned to see if things look up for us—I know I will!

This series started out a little questionable for me, but things are definitely looking up. Although the writing is still a mix between prose and straight dialogue, it makes for an interesting comic book. It’ll be fun to see how the next nine issues pan out. Things can only get better from here!

This is a really fun, imaginative all ages series. You don’t necessarily have to read the first series to understand this series, but there are times when you’ll wish you had. Issue #1 proves to be a really entertaining book that will have you rooting for Dreamfinder and Figment. We’re starting what looks like a really fun journey, so start reading this gem of a series!

This is a brilliant addition to a series that has already made a name for itself as the sequel to a well-known miniseries. It has just switched gears to a younger inventor, so I'm stoked to see how this little girl is going to help bring imagination back to the Academy Scientifics-Lucidus. Keep reading to see what happens next!

I’m pretty stoked for this new Figment series. I actually hope that Capri, Figment, and Spark have to go through dreamscapes just like the Dreamfinder did. As much as it would be sort of what we saw in the first Figment series, it’ll be interesting to see how Capri handles it, as opposed to how the Dreamfinder did. I can’t wait for more!

Overall, this is a different, interesting, and awesome book. I find language in itself fascinating, and to make a comic depicting how strange language can be is fan-freaking-tastic. This is definitely worth the read.

This is a really great way to learn the capabilities of language and word association. Carter does a fine job of opening our minds to the different uses of words and their effects on people's actions. If you're interested in language as much as I am, this is a must-read.

This is a really modern yet archaic take on the western (I know—oxymoronic; but you’ll understand once you read this book). This looks like a really promising series. If you’re a fan of westerns, horror, action, adventure, reading, life, anything and everything, you have to read this book. It’s the best thing I’ve read lately, and I’m already itching for more.

This is definitely a series I can dig. It’s raw, real (but fantastical at the same time), and so emotional. This is definitely a series to keep up with if you’re looking for a good story, executed flawlessly.

I don’t think any of you need much persuading to read this series. It has action, violence, familial issues, patriarchal hierarchies, FREAKING DRAGONS, and this issue sort of pulls a Catcher in the Rye and brings our protagonist, Enrico, out of childhood with a rude awakening. I can’t wait to see what Kelly puts Enrico through next issue!

Bottom line is, this series has a lot more to offer, so anyone who hasn’t been reading should definitely catch up to stay up to date with the storyline. This is one Hell of a story about a very resilient young boy with a dream. This issue alone is worth a read.

Enrico has proved to himself that he is worthy of dragon training and fighting, but he has tons more to deal with at home. His story is nothing less than enthralling, and creatively told by talent that is certain to entertain. I would definitely recommend this issue to anyone and everyone who can appreciate amazing artwork and in depth storytelling.

This series is strange, but really awesome in its own Hellboy-esque way. However, you do not need to be a pro at the Hellboy universe facts in order to understand this series. I can’t wait to see where this goes next, and if there’s something big coming.

This issue is a good one. You don't need to keep up with the story to really understand what is happening. It's a fun and silly story, perfect for reading that isn't too heavy, but still has some logic behind it. Futurama has been a successful franchise for a long time now, and this series makes it all the more entertaining.

Overall, it’s a good book, with amazing artwork, and a new and exciting plot to tie in with the Secret Wars world. And if you’re a Hulk fan, this is definitely for you. Go grab a copy when it comes out, and enjoy.

If you want some nostalgic characters with all new concepts thrown in, this series is for you. This team-up is a great way to show off the classic adventures that we have seen for years, and it is executed in a creative, imaginative, gorgeous manner. This series is absolutely one to keep an eye on.

This is a really cute all-ages story. It's a little hard to read because of the way the characters talk, but you get used to it about halfway through the book. Aesthetically, Lam doesn't let us down. There is always something exciting to look at, which holds our attention really well. There's a lot of movement in this issue, which keeps the story progressing at a steady, comfortable pace. For anyone who wants a good, fun, lighthearted read, look no further.

Overall, this issue is a great addition to an already amazing series. This story is breaking boundaries, starting trends, and so much more. If you haven’t already, definitely pick this series up and give it a read—you won’t be disappointed.

There are tons of questions we have yet to be answered, like Robbie’s relation to Eli, and what is to happen to Robbie from here, since at the end of this issue, he is wanted by some pretty powerful people. Ghost Rider has always been an awesome character, so it’s cool to see new characters blooming from his previous stories. I give this issue two thumbs up, and a strong recommendation. So, get stoked and pick it up when you can!

In the end, I can honestly say this series is going to do justice to the old flick we all know and love. With the humorous script and beautiful artwork, this is definitely a book I will be keeping up with as the issues roll on in. This is a good read for any Ghostbusters fan, comic book lover, and overall nerd.

This series is a new one for Ghostbusters fans, and not at all disappointing. The plot is a new twist on an old storyline, but is just as entertaining. This series is good for both new and old Ghostbusters fans. We’re only at issue #2, so get caught up and keep reading along!

I’m not going to say this book is strictly for college kids, but I will say that it is relatable to them. Cute boys, best friends, and one big, nasty food fight make up a very likeable comic book.

This book is meant to be funny while reflecting reality in the best way that it can—and it does its job extremely well. There is happy, sad, confusing, frustrating, funny, and awesome all jam packed into one series. I recommend this series to anyone and everyone who has gone to college and/or is interested in the dynamics of such. This is an amazing book, and it has made my life so much better. So make yours better, and pick it up today!

In the end, I’m just a really big fan of this series. There are so many elements of it that I can relate to, and that in and of itself makes it worth reading. The amazing writing and striking artwork/colors are a bonus, too. If you’re a college kid/recent graduate, or you’re just interested in and/or miss your college years, I’d say this book is perfect for you. Any “young adult” (I keep putting it in quotes because you’ll understand it, but I hate that term) will understand and respect this series.

This issue is less relatable than the rest have been, but still feels natural for our three protagonists. At the end, it becomes just as realistic as the rest again, so I’m looking forward to next issue. I have no idea how Esther is going to prepare for exams in just two weeks, but it will be entertaining to watch her do so. Keep reading so you don’t miss any of Giant Days’ coolness.

This is a really funny, relatable series with a lot of personality to it. I’m really glad it’s back, and with some really awesome stories to tell. I can’t wait what this semester has in store for our three dynamic protagonists!

This issue is a wonderful addition to an already great series. This is a good read for any young adult; trust me, it’s worth it.

This isn’t the first time I’ve said that Giant Days is one of my favorite comics right now, but hot damn does it deserve to be said again or what! I’m always excited to go on an adventure with these characters and see what life holds for them. Join the party when this issue comes out on Wednesday from Boom! Studios.

This series has become one of my favorites. This issue alone is relatable to a lot of us—having so much work to do and pulling all-nighters to get it all done, breaking up with the “love of your life,” being too tired to pay attention in class, and having an amazing support system to carry you through it all. This is an incredible issue to add to a truly touching series, and I suggest you all get hip to it!

I am really scared that Esther is actually going to leave college and her friends. She was the weirdest character, making her my favorite character. I don’t know how things will turn out, but I miss her already. Giant Days is a hyperbolized version of reality. We’ve all been through a breakup and we’ve hated school at some point. Each issue brings about a new event that is insanely relatable for all us readers. With characters that are likeable and easily make us empathetic, the creative team on this series creates a really entertaining story for us to enjoy. If you haven’t read any of this series yet, I strongly suggest you start.

For anyone who is in this stage of life, or wants a trip down memory lane, this series was meant for you. This issue alone brings hope to anyone who feels like giving up on something, just as Esther wanted to. It gives a good message in a funny and understandable way. The creative team does an amazing job, and I seriously couldn’t recommend this book enough.

I have no doubt that this series is going to keep amazing me with future issues. This type of humor that is joke after joke or event after event is my favorite kind. It’s fast-paced, in your face, and just plain entertaining. I love this series more and more with each issue, and I don’t think I’m ever going to stop! Make sure to give this issue a read when it comes out tomorrow, May 4th!

This series is amazing. It reveals the harsh truths about the craziness that is the human condition. The creative team does a fine job with this issue, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for this trio of friends!

This is a great read. There is a lot of emotion, tons of great characterization, and reason for readers to give a damn about the characters. It’s a book—fiction—but I feel like I’ve become friends with these people. Any book that can make me feel that comfortable reading it is fine by me.

For any fan of Giant Days, this is a great issue that lets us examine each character individually. It's actually really fun to see them apart from each other. This gives Allison room to work on some more characterization. Any and all students and fans of plain old good storytelling will appreciate this book. It comes out this Wednesday, August 3rd, so head to your local comic book shop to pick up a copy for yourself!

This story will instantly grab your attention. It is truly an amazing plot that I can't wait to read more of. The creative team has done an amazing job mixing words and art to create the perfect balance for storytelling.

This is an awesome first issue for the series. It sets everything up nicely, and gets us pumped for the next issue. I don’t know about you, but I’m beyond curious to see what happened to Ludwig, and what Goldie is going to do about it. Keep reading to find out!

Overall, I'd say 18 Days is starting off extremely well. Issue one serves as a good starting point to anyone's research in Eastern philosophy. If not for that, it's all in all a really great story, being retold in a fun and interesting way. Morrison and Kang work so much in sync; this is one of the best books I've come across in a while, with a fantastic story and breathtaking artwork. For your own good, be sure to pick this up!

This is a very promising series that has a lot more history and beauty to come. Morrison is taking a lot on, but he seems to be taking it at a slow and steady pace, true to the historical text that he is basing this series off of. This is truly a wonderful series, which I recommend for anyone and everyone to read.

This whole issue is interesting. The story flows with a very consistent fluidity, and keeps us enthralled for most of the time. The issue did, however, go by at a really fast pace. With minimal speech bubbles, and small ones when they appeared, I was able to look at a picture, soak it in, and turn the page, all within about six seconds, give or take. If you don't mind a book that goes by quickly, pick it up!

For anyone who is into comedic slashers, this definitely won't disappoint. And just in case sharks on land weren't enough, stay tuned for GrizzlyShark vs SeaBear next month! I don't know about you, but this fantastical, uncensored, fast-paced insanity is one of the greatest types of humor I've ever seen!

The only down point to this book is that it doesn’t measure up to the Rocket Raccoon series for more traditional and action-loving comic book fans. This book is so obviously all-ages, with the lighthearted script and adorable artwork. Even though I’m 21 and love gory horror comic books, this is one of the best books I’ve read this week, and that says something. For a story that’s not too intense, but will still hold your interest, Groot is definitely the way to go.

Many hardcore Marvel fans might not enjoy the undoubtable fluffiness of this series, but it is a good series regardless. It still has action and subtle violence, but for the most part, it is just a cute story to follow about a tree named Groot.

This series keeps getting better and better. The storylines are getting a bit more intricate now, which I really appreciate. It’s pretty fun going with Groot on his journey to find Rocket Raccoon. It’s a cute series with issues that don’t take a long time to read, so keep up, and enjoy.

The whole issue is written with the same premise in mind: Grumpy Cat is in a bad mood, always. She doesn't like anyone, so she tricks them into doing things that benefit her. For any and all fans of Grumpy Cat, this is a must-read.

This issue is a great addition to the series. Grumpy and Pokey are two really fun characters whose personalities balance each other’s out. They make a great duo, and are really entertaining to read about. For any Grumpy Cat fan, this is a must-read.

This series is just a lot of fun stories about a cat with a funny face. For anyone who is into really cute, innocent stories, this is the way to go.

This issue puts our protagonist cats in a lot of different fun, interesting, and possible destructive situations. This series shows the felines some real adventure, and it’s a blast to read. For any cat lovers and/or Grumpy Cat fans, this issue is a must-read.

This series is starting off slow, but knowing Bendis, it will pick up to something great. We don’t know much about the Guardians yet except that they aren’t the tightest group. Gamora will definitely have something to do with their missions, and hopefully next issue the Guardians will be able to stop Yotat from taking Knowhere for himself! Read along to find out what happens!

Overall, this book is good, definitely well-written, but could be better. The artwork is really the only thing that doesn’t live up to Remender’s excellent writing. It is, however, an awesome addition to the Secret Wars line of books. If you’re a fan of Secret Wars, I definitely recommend this book for you.

HaloGen is a new and interesting book about a weird and fascinating world, and I recommend it to any and every science fiction/fantasy fanatic. It’s got holograms, aliens, and robots…and it all takes place in space!

This issue is a one-shot, but I really, REALLY hope it turns into an ongoing series at some point. This is a comic book I could get behind. It takes some intense corporations and turns their members into human beings, every day folks. It’s an amazingly funny book about the life of a normal guy, who just happens to be a part of a villainous organization.

This team of heroes is really goofy. The members have petty fights with each other about things that don’t really matter. When they actually have a mission to complete, they are easily distracted by things that have no relevance to the task at hand. Although they’re barely heroes at all, it’ll be interesting to see them take on a case as big as this, where they need to save Harley Quinn. Will they ever get Harley back? Keep reading to find out!

If you need a break from the continuity of a lot of other books coming out these days, this one will definitely do you well. If you’re cool and just like a good comic book with amazing artwork, look no further. If you’re a Harley Quinn fan, duh. The jokes are scattered all over the place, but there’s a balance of them and seriousness. This is a book with tons of creativity and imagination; you won’t be disappointed.

Both Crook and Bunn are two very talented people, and have come together to create a creepy, cute, mysterious, weird, and just plain awesome story. If I were you, I’d drop everything and go get a copy. In fact, that’s probably what I’m going to do when I get to go home today. I’ll see you at the comic shop!

I look forward to every single issue of this book because of how weird it is, despite the overdone pact-from-way-back-when/kid-must-die-when-they’re-an-adult theme. If you like creepy, eerie, gory, and scary stories, don’t hesitate to pick this one up.

This is an amazing series that I just can’t get enough of. It is written beautifully and illustrated even better. It’s rare to see horror comic books these days in general, but when I see one that’s actually good, I get excited. Harrow County definitely fits into that category, and is certainly a series to keep an eye on.

Overall, this is a solid issue. This series gets weirder and weirder every time I read new issues. It’s pretty tamed right now, so I’m hoping we get some action or something even stranger than we’ve seen thus far. We’ll just have to keep reading to see what happens to our protagonist next!

This is easily one of the best modern horror comics out there. It’s creepy, mysterious, historical, and there’s only more awesomeness from here!

This series is chilling, haunting, terrifying, and dramatic. It won’t scare you outright, but it’ll stick with you after you read it. For an unconventional horror story, this is definitely the way to go.

This is one of the best horror series out there right now. It’ll make you actually think, instead of simply showing gory illustrations page after page; I can respect that. It’s intricate, unique, dark, twisted, and perfect. For anyone looking out for something new and/or in the horror genre, look no further.

This series keeps taking really big twists and turns. It isn’t your basic horror story with a ghost or a killer. It isn’t inherently gory or creepy. It has an eeriness that ever so subtly sneaks up on you. For any horror fan looking for a complex story, this series is your best bet.

This is a really great issue to add to the series. Bernice’s character is really starting to become independent, and it’s brilliant to see her life aside from her friendship with Emmy. Now she has started a whole new journey of learning Lady Lovey’s “profession.” This story is about to get really interesting. For any and all horror fans, this series is one you just can’t skip out on. The creative team does an amazing job with all aspects of the story; trust me, you will be entertained and enthralled.

This whole series feels like some sophisticated horror writing to me. Bunn doesn’t stick to slashers and poltergeists, because we’ve seen all that before. Instead, we get a multi-pronged, sub-texted story with a lot of elements within it: the concept of the “outsider,” the acceptance of one’s family, constant judgment, community service, respect for our elders, etc. The list goes on and on! This is truly what sophisticated horror is all about, and I come to love it more and more with every issue.

For horror fans, Harrow County is the perfect read. It is complex, has tons of subplots from issue to issue, and is genuinely disturbing. When it comes to horror these days, this series is definitely one of the frontrunners.

This is a seriously humbling story about some insanely terrible truths. I cannot wait to read issue #2 to see how Josh handles everything that has just happened. As for now, I'm stuck with feeling angry (about the content) and impressed (of the execution). The creative team on this series has done a really amazing job of drawing us in. I have no doubt that more awesomeness is to come!

As you can imagine, with me being me, I geeked out way too much over this bi-monthly series, eager to read through the grossness of it all. If you’re even remotely like me, and have even one percent of my love for horror, you cannot afford to pass this series by. It’s too classic, too amazing, and almost too good.

I mistakenly gave the series a lot of expectations because I loved the movie. Alone, the first issue is pretty good, just not too original. For anyone who is into the supernatural and wants to read some horror without being afraid to go to sleep at night, this series is definitely for you.

The creative team on this series has done an amazing job creating an atmospheric, dark, eerie tone. For someone who loves horror as much as I do, this is the kind of place I would want to move into. The mansion’s detail, from brick foundation to decorative wallpaper, looks creepily fantastic. The characters look detailed and emotive, the storyline just took a big twist that I didn’t see coming, Jean-Francois Beaulieu’s colors make this issue so vibrant and inviting, and I cannot recommend this series enough. It isn’t what I thought it would be—having seen The Haunted Mansion film—but it’s an entirely new, interesting, and entertaining story that is definitely worth the read for any horror fanatic.

Whether you’re a fan of the movie or not, this series is one you should read. It’s picking up the pace, so now is definitely a time to get caught up on what’s going on. For anyone interested in horror/the supernatural, this series is for you.

I’m a huge fan of the motion picture, The Haunted Mansion. This series has absolutely nothing to do with that and, in my review of issue #1, I was kind of bummed about that because I wanted to stick to the roots of the original story. Now that I’ve read through the entire miniseries, I’m actually really glad that the story wasn’t anything like the film. This is a fresh take on an old story that some of us grew up with. The creative team has done an amazing job and, if possible, I would love to see this become an ongoing series. I’m not, by any means, saying that there will be one (I don’t know and haven’t heard anything), but hey, I can dream. For now, read this series if you want to be thoroughly entertained by a scary-but-fun story about a kid who has one Hell of an adventure with some seriously awesome ghosts.

Head Lopper is a really fun comic book for any fan of adventure and even fantasy. This is a humorous book that I guarantee you'll enjoy, so pick it up at your local comic shop today!

This issue will take you on quite the whirlwind of feelings. There are a lot of ways that this could go, so I don’t doubt that Sebela will give us a good follow-up issue to this one. I’m looking forward to seeing how Callie deals with her life getting really good or falling apart. Either way, I know I’ll be entertained. This issue is definitely worth checking out, for anyone looking for an interesting and thoughtful read.

I’ve tried to put all bias aside for this review, since I am a long-time fan of anything Hellboy related. Even so, this issue is a 10 out of 10 to me. Its pacing is perfect, it has intrigue, mystery, and a character we all know and love on an earlier mission with the B.P.R.D. If you’re a Hellboy fan, or want to start being one, this issue is the way to go. You will not be disappointed—not one bit.

This is a really interesting storyline that depicts Hellboy’s earlier missions with the B.P.R.D. For any Hellboy fan, I can tell you right now, you’re going to love it. This series is picking up some momentum and showing us some serious action, so next issue should be insane! Will Hellboy be able to save all the kiddies from this beast? Keep reading to find out!

This series has been a great way to see the Hellboy that isn’t dark and brooding. The creative team has done an amazing job depicting the team and their dynamic from back in the ‘50s. This is most definitely a must-read for any Hellboy fan.

Being a long-term fan of Hellboy, I can honestly say that this issue keeps up the high standards of any comic book from the Hellboy franchise. It’s a wonderful addition to this series, and should definitely be on your must-read list.

Being a long-term fan of Mignola, I think all his work is amazing. This issue in particular is filled with such twists, so much morbidity, blood, anguish, and a lot of foreshadowing. Mignola has really outdone himself. I can’t wait to read more Hellboy in Hell material.

Earlier Hellboy comic books were known for their convictive short stories, but we don’t get that degree of intensity here. Even so, there are more good things than there are bad in this issue. With any Hellboy comic book, I’ll give it a shot, since I love Hellboy. If you’re a fan, too, and want a few quick stories to satisfy your Hellboy craving, this is it. I would have loved to see Hellboy a bit more, but this is a great issue nonetheless, so I definitely recommend checking it out.

Get into the story now; the adventure is just getting started.

Help Us! Great Warrior is the perfect way to introduce someone to the concept of the “T” in “LGBTQ,” and an even better way to just read a really awesome comic book. If you haven’t read it yet, I suggest you start as soon as possible.
