Ongoing reads and mid-series thoughts.
To be quite honest, I’m not a wrestling fan, never have been never will be. I’m also not a fan of this style of artwork, it’s too generic or simple for my tastes. With all that being said I really enjoyed this book! It is interesting, different, and so completely not what I was expecting […]
Well this is an interesting little offering. In the not too distant future Earth’s population has grown too much and the planet is just unable to support the vast amount of life. So the starting point for this story is 2025 and from there we see a progression of how life on Earth is. With rationing […]
This my friends is what 1998’s Godzilla movie should have been! Wow this just took me there and made me all kinds of creature feature fanatic mode. Aside from the fact that we have no real way of knowing, yet, how this creature has come to be only the clues from last issue it’s managed to […]
With the end of this arc here I’ve been able to think a bit about this series. One of the things that has impressed me is the organic evolution of how the cast grew. At first it was unclear if all would survive their initial encounter but as time as worn on they’ve established this […]
[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: 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 […]
