A quiet corner for indie comics. Finished reads and ongoing stacks.
[Spoilers!!] Review: Honestly, for a 100th anniversary issue, this could’ve and should’ve been a lot better. Made up of several short stories – and sadly not including one giant story that celebrates the event – each story is disparate from one another and and don’t seem to be connected by anything but that the same […]
Review: For all you Dresden fans like me, these new original stories are wonderful with Jim at the core of them, so we know that they will remain true to the book series. For this issue and story arc Carlos and Mohan do some beautiful work here. Molly’s hair is expertly blended colour wise and the […]
Review: One of the biggest challenges any writer faces when contemporising a book is whether the new environment will be as reflective of it’s original source material, put simply; “will it work?” The Shadow is pure Noir. Now while this series lacks that swagger, it’s a different kind of atmosphere. It certainly has hints of dinginess, but […]
This jumps right into things and Brian doesn’t waste any time getting the story started. It might have been nice to have a point of reference about the year or type world they live in, some kind of immediate background vague enough for exploration but to set the stage as it were. I will say the character […]
Review: One of the things I absolutely LOVE about Roye Okupe’s book here is the fact its not even set in America like a large portion of comics are. It being set in Africa really refr eshing for me as it provides a lot of opportunity to see something different. The names of various characters through out […]
Review: Ever since I read the first issue of this series way back in February I have been hankering for more. And it wasn’t until recently I had my wish fulfilled courtesy of Joe himself! I have to say I am really liking what he’s doing here with this title. As not only do we see all the […]
Review: Three issues in and still going strong. While not moving as quickly with the villain storyline as I assumed it would, Kate and Matt take the smarter route to deal with everyone actually getting to know each other and deal with how their lives have really changed. And their lives are changing quickly. A […]
Review: With every issue I continue to have fun reading Capture Creatures. I find the art to be cute and enjoyable to look at, I also find the characters to be infectious with their endearing optimism, and the creatures are really cool to see. That being said, 4 issues in and I’m still having a bit of […]
Review: J.G. Jones and Mark Waid are a powerhouse team, on their own they’reboth master storytellers, but together you would imagine they’d be able to tell a powerful, compelling and intriguing adventure. Especially one specifically set in the middle of a hot spot of American history. Sadly though, while it’s always possible the 4 issues as […]
Review: Now I will admit first off that my knowledge of Atomic Robo is spotty at best in a big way as I’ve only read bits and pieces here and there thanks to Free Comic Book Day. Though its thanks to FCBD that I’ve come to love what I have read of the character.
