Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon
Good vs Evil in the early days of WWII!
A conspiracy involving the Third Reich and a dead member of a sinister secret society sets Professor Bruttenholm on his first mission--to find the man who'd soon bring Hellboy to earth.
The mad Russian sorcerer Rasputin had been thought dead since 1916, when a group of noblemen ...
Koshchei

Sent to kill Hellboy by the Baba Yaga in Darkness Calls, Koshchei the Deathless hinted at a long and tragic life before being enslaved to the Russian witch. Now Koshchei relives every horrible act on his road to immortality and beyond, with none other than Hellboy himself-in Hell.
Mignola returns to Hell a...
Gideon Falls
A brand-new ongoing series from the acclaimed bestselling creative team of Old Man Logan and Green Arrow! The lives of a reclusive young man obsessed with a conspiracy in the city's trash, and a washed-up Catholic priest arriving in a small town full of dark secrets, become intertwined around the mysterious legend of The Black Barn, an otherworldly...
Great finale! Loved this final issue, the sense of scale as the showdown approaches in the city. The energy of the artwork is compelling once again, and the sense of the individual standing up for themselves is really heightened. I wasn't sure what was going to happen and was kept on edge for 95% of the time! Hoping they don't revisit this, as the miniseries really worked well and I don't feel it more
The Few #6
MINISERIES FINALE
The critically acclaimed maxiseries comes to its massive end! Edan's secret is out. With no family, no allies, and no country, she is left to do the one thing the desperate have available to them: lash out. As she sets her sights on the Palace and the government she fought so hard for, Peter and Davey question how much someone...
I liked some of the action in this, but fundamentally this issue was hampered by the overall idea of this final series. Why introduce a great gang of characters only to then have no development for any of them, nor any for Baltimore? The seeds were sown for lots of cool characters a few series back and then they sort of neglected them in the end, and baltimore didn't really need them for anythin more
Baltimore: The Red Kingdom #5
Lives are lost as Baltimore leads the final push against the Red King's armies.
Great stuff, at the same standard as the last series. Less immediately supernatural which is fine. I think this might be one of my favourite mini series, hoping they stick to the 4 issue per series. I also like that time has passed visually. When the violence hits its incredibly memorable and shocking; serves to kick off this story with plenty of mystery and energy. The vestal virgins relationship more
Britannia: We Who Are About to Die #1
Valiant's critically acclaimed, 10-time sold-out magnum opus returns with a brand-new journey into myth and mystery, from comics master Peter Milligan and incendiary artist Juan José Ryp!
Fifty thousand Romans stand on their feet, watching from the rafters of the coliseum with captured breath as Achillia, a Gladiator unlike any that Rome has s...
Providence
The most important work of 2015 begins here with the long-awaited arrival of Alan Moore's breathtaking epic PROVIDENCE with his artistic partner Jacen Burrows. In his most carefully considered work in decades, Moore deconstructs all of Lovecraft's concepts, reinventing the entirety of his work inside a painstakingly researched framework of America...
This issue had one good scene. So it's an improvement on the previous two issues but still dragging. The red king entering the Vatican is a great moment that plays to the strengths of the gothic artwork, watching his intersect with history through the crumbling iconography was great. But chriiiist...it's like the Wacky Races elsewhere... One good scene surrounded by people sat in cars constantly more
Baltimore: The Red Kingdom #3
Baltimore's team fight their way into the Vatican as the Red King prepares for his coronation day.
Briggs Land
Briggs Land, nearly a hundred square miles of rural wilderness, contains the largest antigovernment secessionist movement in the United States. When matriarch Grace Briggs wrests control of the operation from her incarcerated husband, she sparks a war within the community-and her immediate family-that threatens to bring the full power of the federa...
Seven to Eternity (2016)
The God of Whispers has spread an omnipresent paranoia to every corner of the kingdom of Zhal; his spies hide in every hall spreading mistrust and fear. Adam Osidis, a dying knight from a disgraced house, must choose between joining a hopeless band of magic users in their desperate bid to free their world of the evil God, or accepting his promise t...
As always brilliant. The artwork and dialogue and surprises are pure noir bliss. I feel like I'm watching old movies through a very accomplished (in some ways improved) premium comic. I think this team is unstoppable, Matz et Jef.. I wonder how the hell they've managed to pull this off!
Triggerman #4
After ruffling feathers all over the city, Roy Nash's bounty hunt takes a turn for the worse when he finds himself the prisoner of one of LA's most notorious gangsters.
Jeff Lemire is soon becoming one of my favourite artists and writers. I love Black Hammer, Descender, and After Death AD. The worlds he creates are so emotionally resonant and I find myself surprised by how quickly I care about the characters and how the story develops. So wow, this double issue is perfect and sets up a whole cast and an absorbing atmosphere. This is going straight onto my pull li more

Really good 2nd issue, the page designs in this are excellent. I like how there's a mini mystery that is solved within this issue, but the main plot has only just been touched on. Artwork's good, the characters are varied and the world our main character has to exist in is both psychedelic and totally down to earth. Eager for next one!
The Dregs #2
Where are the homeless people going? Is this issue any closer to a real detective story? The hidden symbols will show the way.
This is a great series so far. I'm very impressed with the stylistic look Eric Zawadzki brings to the book; there are many interesting layouts, as the artist makes a lot of interesting decisions i.e. the two page spread with the circular maze with Marlow within, surrounded by images of him struggling to push a boulder forward. So much is conveyed with his art; I love it. And the writer is giving u more

This series is so fun and the artwork is clean and welcoming and expressive. Everything feels really well done and I love the faces of the characters and how small gestures carry a lot of meaning. I think what's so good is that the series really develops and there's always a new sense of things moving onwards. Based on the cover for the next issue, it looks like there may be more to the villain t more
Green Valley #6
Bertwald learns the truth about the evil wizard Cyril, while his fellow knights dare to slay a real-life dragon.
Super stuff. This issue was faster paced in terms of the visuals, it felt like I was getting a good mix of new information/action and a healthy dose of psychology from the main character. The only part that's not so clear weirdly is the baby, which kinda hasn't clicked for me yet, but it's still something that likely will develop. For me, the real pleasure of this series so far has been the artwor more
The Few #2
As Hale and the Boys run further from Herrod they find themselves taken in by the father of the militia men. Hale's past comes more and more into light as we discover how these boys are as good at guerilla warfare as they are.
Gah, this is disappointing basically. The first issue of this final run was ok, but as I said in my previous review, it's trying to cover A LOT of ground and it's stretching itself thinly. This issue is much worse, for pretty much the same reasons. I LOVE baltimore, the dude is a legend, however he just seems like a project manager in this incarnation. The usual tropes of the series have revol more
Baltimore: The Red Kingdom #2
Protected by his armies marching on Rome, the Red King seems invulnerable as he takes his place at the Vatican for his coronation. How can the resistance hope to get close enough to confront him in human form?
Ok, I havent read planetary yet but I have read quite a few warren Ellis things like injection, ocean, trees and a few others. In comparison to those, this is fine for a opening issue. I have not read the previous incarnations of these particular characters but I found it enjoyable to see the 'everyday' type of goings on for them. I must admit, I can see that there's loads of different spies but I more
Wild Storm #1
A troubled woman, barred by her employer from continuing her research, walks miserably through New York City. It takes her a moment to notice that everybody else is looking up. A man has been thrown from the upper floor of the Halo skyscraper.
And that woman-Angela Spica, sick from the transhuman implants she's buried in her own body-is the on...
This issue felt like we were witnessing the typical day for the characters, with not a lot happening, but I liked it nonetheless. I like the start of different character's storylines, I like the references to the past of WildStorm and I think that this comic will do very well.
