A quiet corner for indie comics. Finished reads and ongoing stacks.
Todd Rayner’s first issue of Icepick is something that while not exactly original with its intentions, is something that does have my attention. We pretty much have little in the way of answers aside from a small tidbit here and there through out the first issue. And whether or not this is the first time […]
Okay, I’m just going to come out with this. It’s certainly no secret that, after the first 2 incarnations of Valiant, I’d only been a very selective fan of the Publisher, but that it’s 3rd incarnation not only changed my mind, but, well, made a fan out of me. Of course, it’s not always sweetness […]
Kevin Gunstone has certainly given us an interesting read when it comes to Planet Of Daemons, and though I don’t think it was his intent, I found myself pretty much liking every other character who had some form of page time instead of the actual main character. As despite Amos Deathridge’s time in the occult […]
I think Bitch Planet as a whole is summed up very well from Kelly Sue DeConnick and Valentine Leandro themselves “TRIPLE FEATURE is an anthology companion to the main BITCH PLANET series, which is a dystopian, Feminist sci-fi take on exploitation genres that attempts to be both satirical and intersectional… The basic premise (of Bitch […]
Warning: Potential Spoilers! I love anthropomorphic tales and Spy Seal is no exception. It’s a hell of a lot of fun. Although I have to admit, a seal would not have been my first choice for a spy-type lead, as I doubt it would be for many. But perhaps, that’s one reason this new offering […]
So what this first issue does is really introduce us to the world these characters will inhabit and I’m guessing the catalyst as to why we end up meeting them. As a group of amateur ghost hunters looking to make it big via Youtube style ghost hunting things take a dangerous and unexpected turn of […]
Lola XOXO begins unimpressively. Siya Oum’s colorful, steampunk-y artwork is very pleasant, and part of why I picked up the issue, but the story begins a bit ho-humly. Our heroine, Lola, and a crew of men who have escaped their captors (see the previous volume of the Lola series) are trying to make their way […]
Gavin Spector’s Ironhorse is an interesting world. One with several guilds and it all makes me think of games like Skyrim and other kinds of role playing games with guilds. Guilds like Thieves, Assassins, Witch Hunters and so forth. And as hinted in #1, it seems like there’s some old beef between the Thieves and […]
The Alterna Comics graphic novel, “The Chair” follows the story of Richard Sullivan, a convicted child killer, as he faces what are to be his last days on Earth. For ten years Sullivan has stood witness to the savage beatings and murders of his fellow inmates at the hands of the prison’s sadistic guards and its […]
Well, this is both a blessing and a curse because it’s an incredibly solid concept with a ton of that unlimited potential that we love to see. It’s also a little all over the place, you can tell this is by someone without a lot of experience writing these types of stories. Its like you […]
