Matt Comic Reviews

Overall the writing is fantastic and full of character and plot development. The bonus story is humorous and connects the backstory to the eventual main story line. Additionally, the art is superb and each artist connects their style to the content of the story. A must read!

This book is a wonderfully dynamic take on what would otherwise be a very peaceful idea monks on a quest to purify souls. This action-packed angle makes for a very intriguing plot that leaves you wanting more. Each character is more interesting than the last, and the depth of their interactions is what great stories are all about. Definitely pick up Karma Police if youre looking for a unique story full of mystery and monsters. If you dont, your soul may never know peace

Final Thoughts:This book screams bad action movie in the best way. Amidst all the serious comics we have available, its nice to find a break with something as relaxed and jocular as Man vs Rock. It doesnt take itself too seriously while remaining abundantly entertaining, which makes the story even more enjoyable. If youre looking for something light to read, dont be a rock sympathizer. Pick up this book before its too late!

The Rick and Morty comic has yet to let me down. Each issue either ties to the last or brings about a new dimension (both figuratively and literally) of the story that keeps it fun and interesting. As a huge fan of both the comic and the television series, having an entire issues dedicated to Ball Fondlers is amazing. Having only been briefly introduced in Rixty Minutes, and then later referenced in a couple episodes, its great to get actual story for the group and see just how action-packed a Ball Fondlers mission can be. So, if you are into the comic or the TVshow, you certainly wont want to miss this weeks issue of Rick and Morty!

Seven Percent is the perfect story for those wishing to escape to a darker, bleaker world driven by a race to power. Its got the perfect amount of mystery and uncertainty to keep the reader guessing about whats to come. This is a must read for fans of anything from Ayn Rand to The Matrix or Bioshock. I could compare the concept to Lucy, but that would be disrespectful to Seven Percent and Red 5. Definitely pick this book up and see for yourself; you certainly wont be disappointed!

Blood Feud is the perfect comic for anyone looking for something dark and mysterious. The characters dont yet know what theyre getting into or whats going on in their town, and that gives them relatabilty and personality. As mentioned before, the writing in this book is fantastic and allows the reader to really feel the mood of the story. If youre a fan of the campy horror genre (and I use that description with the highest respect) then this is the ideal read for you. Everything about this book is done remarkably well, and Im definitely looking forward to the next issue!

Thus far, The Devil You Know is a fun-filled bloodbath with enough depth to keep you interested throughout. The pace drives home the sense of chaos and uncertainty as Greydon adapts to a brand new world to him and the perils he faces. Packed to the gillswith demons and violence, this series is perfect for anyone looking to break away from the usual superhero story, while still having a hero to stand behind. If youre a fan of action and the underworld, dont miss out on this new rendition of the classic struggle of good versus evil!

As I mentioned earlier, the direct comedy style of Rick and Morty isn't overbearing because they do it right. And the writer's self-critical nods lend perfectly to the twists throughout. Rick remains the smartest person in the room, and therefore takes no interest in Morty's silly problems. This allows Morty to be the star this week, and so we get all the kooky humor of an insecure fourteen year old boy. Definitely another winner from the folks over at Oni Press, so be sure to grab a copy!
