It’s like Firefly, but not in space. Loveable misfit pirates just tryin’ to find their way in life when it seems suddenly the entire world needs their savvy in order to save the whole damn place. The captain of the Rogue’s Revenge, and our main character Tobin Manheim was even in the Navy before skirting […]
With the recent boom of sword and sorcery titles in the past few years, it seems a new release related to the subject hits the stands each week. There have certainly been many good ones; some outside the box, others more traditional but manage to put a refreshing spin on it. Unfortunately, Scales and Scoundrels […]
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 […]
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 […]
