Jacob Cordas Comic Reviews

If you like pirates, this is for you. A Man Among Ye #1 signals the start of a phenomenal and prescient take on the genre. If you arent a fan of pirates, still read this. Your mind will probably be

A Man Among Ye #2 is a perfect pirate story with easily the best page layouts of the year. Every member of the creative team is at the peak of their ability. Attention needs to be given before the ship sets out and never comes back to

Adventureman #2 is such a fun comic that even with its occasional stumbles I cant help but be excited for everything that comes next.

An Unkindess Of Ravens #1 is a high school witch comic that mixes horror with hokey to delightful effect.

Its a promising start of a series that is marred by some issues I hope will be ironed out soon. That being said, the concept game here is so strong, I would still recommend buying it and watching how it

Bad Mother #1 is a sharp, well made start to a pulpy adventure. Any fan of pulp storytelling will feel right at home on every

Billionaire Island #2 succeeds not just as an amazing humor comic by an all-star team but as a wonderful continuation of everything the first issue sets up. Spend whatever you need to to pick up your copy and then regret having to live in a society with money after you read it. But hey, at least you have a copy of this outstanding comic.

Billionaire Island #6 is a gut punch of an ending. It is equal parts hilarious and tragic. This is the late-stage capitalism satire we need right now, even if it isnt the one we want.

While Black Knight: Curse of the Ebony Blade #1 doesnt win me over in its first issue, Im still willing to keep going with it - in the hopes it can.

Yep, Canto III: Lionhearted #1 is as good as this series has been from its start. At this point, there are few series in all of comics that are of as consistently high quality as Canto.

Canto II: The Hollow Men #1 is a fairy tale for an era of rebellion. It is a story I needed and one we all need right now.

Unsurprising to anyone following this series, Canto And The City Of Giants #1 is excellent, a delightful continuation of the story weve so far experienced.

Cold Dead War #1 is a strong start to a zombie series that creates a dynamic metaphor out of a near tired antagonist.

Dark Blood #1 has a few hiccups but is a promising start to an engaging and deeply political new miniseries.

Decorum #2 is a comic made by a group of brilliant creative minds all at the top of their game. To not read this is to miss out on one of the best comics out right now. Abandon whatever you are doing while reading this so you can go out and buy it.

Eden is the personally my favorite thing that Cullen Bunn has ever written, a sweet and surprisingly moving horror story.

Edgar Allan Poes Snifter Of Blood #2 is a fun and surprisingly complex take on the silliest of horror

Eternals #1 tries to create an epic from discarded corners of the Marvel Universe, and It succeeds when the creative team is allowed to tell the story they want without having to emulate charts from Marvels other recent reimagining.

Faithless II #1, while still a good comic, is a bit of let down. The first volume was so strong that even this solid output feels like a real missed opportunity. While I will still keep following this series, I cant shake the feeling this couldve been better.

Faithless II #2 is a return to form after a lackluster first issue. The creative team is clearly on the top of their game. I apologize for ever doubting them.

Faithless II #3 continues the series exploration of mans ability to corrupt love adding more nuance while wonderfully expanding on the

Faithless II #4 is a solid comic that stumbles with its conclusion, rushing for a plot development that goes against the characters.

Family Tree #6 is an excellent comic featuring easily the best coloring this week, if not this year. Take a break from tending your gardens, watering your plants or transforming into a plant person and read this

Family Tree #8 is a solid issue that continues to avoid providing any answers.

Finger Guns #4 is an occasionally great comic that tries just a little too hard to fit in with what the indie market looks like today. It truly sings it when it stands out, though, and I hope it leans more into it as the story progresses.

This is a solid if slow start to a beautifully drawn series.

I Walk With Monsters #1 is a perfect first issue that demands to be read. From the first page, it does everything right and never slips up after

It Eats What It Feeds #2 is a solid continuation of a miniseries that stumbles a bit with the technical elements. With that said though, it is still a joy to

King in Black: Black Knight #1 is another successful King in Black tie-in. Its fun, funny and furious. It makes me so excited for the upcoming Black Knight mini-series.

Another strong addition to Marvels King In Black event, King In Black - Black Panther #1 is well written and well drawn - only its coloring occasionally brings it down.

A textbook example of how great an event tie-in comic can be, King In Black Thunderbolts #1 is phenomenally told, fantastically drawn, and just so goddamn good.

Everything about this book works. Every creative choice is the right one. Every word and line perfectly placed.

Mamo #1 is a folk tale comic book that invites you in and never lets you leave. Its a fey story for the faint of heart.

Sweet Paprika #1 is a heartfelt horndog of a comic. By becoming the high art version of a weird corner on Deviant Art, it will win over even the most repressed of its readers.

Money Shot #6 is a fun diversion between story arcs. While I may be excited to get to the next plot, I cant help but love every second Im getting to spend with these characters.

Another excellent comic from writer Stephanie Phillips, Nuclear Family #1 is a wonderful take on a cold war nightmare. Philip K. Dick would be proud.

Old Haunts #3 has an arresting opening sequence and a solid continuation of its overarching story.

On The Stump #4 continues an amazing series bringing it to new heights. It is perfectly drawn, perfectly written and perfectly enjoyable.

Tracer - London Calling #1 is one of the most surprisingly successful tie-in comics. It works far better than it should imbuing the world of Overwatch with a whimsy on every page.

Penultiman #3 is tragically comic in its warmth like a dog curling up next to its owner to die while wearing a birthday hat.

If you've been following 'Outlawed,' this is a must read. If you haven't been following, this is a must read. Regardless of if you are a child or an adult or one of those man-children that exists only in Judd Apatow movies, this is still a must read. It's cute and cuddly while still packing one hell of a right hook.

Radiant Black #1 is a compelling first issue that instantly sets up a relatable protagonist and makes me empathetically interested in whats coming next.

But if it allows me to keep getting Kelly Thompson writing a character she was born to write for and Veronica Fish and Andy Fish drawing such luscious and dynamic pages, I'm going to be coming back as soon as I can for more.

Sea of Sorrows #1 is a phenomenal start to a horror story. The art and the writing take a solid concept and twist it into a horrifying experience. Read it while wearing a life

Second Coming: Only Begotten Son #1 is a wonderful continuation and a fantastic exploration of living in a dying society with absolutely zero real-world parallels. None whatsoever. Nope. Not a one.

Seven Secrets #1 struggles with the set-up for the overarching series but will almost certainly turn into a great series as it goes along.

That Texas Blood #1 is a smart and perfectly paced neo-western noir. Put on your favorite country album, pour two fingers of whiskey and enjoy this excellent experience.

The Goddamned: The Virgin Brides #1 is an ever better trip into this world than the original series. A filthy, profane fantasy adventure that you should check out.

The Good Asian #1 is a phenomenal addition to the world of crime comics, a necessary and daring creation.

The Union #1 is a promising start to a miniseries that struggles under the weight of being an event tie-in.

Thompson Heller: Interstellar Detective #2 is a great addition to the modern noir finding new corners to explore all the topics the genre is built to discuss. Hammett would be proud of this addition to the canon.

Thor & Loki: Double Trouble #1 is an excellent start to a new four-part miniseries, and its one that immediately imbues the proceedings with welcome charm and delight.

Undiscovered Country #8 is the most visually arresting issue of a series that has prided itself on visual imagination. The coloring especially continually finds creative new ways to make the world alive.

Villainous #1 is a satire without sharp enough teeth. It definitely has the pieces of a more interesting story, but this book still needs more time to develop and reach its full potential.

This is great. Everything comes together to make another excellent BOOM! comic from another excellent team. Read it if you like comics that are good.

Wynd #3 is another perfect issue in a series that can do no wrong.
