30 Days of Night #1

Jan 9, 2012

Cover 3/5 - Although there is nothing wrong with the cover, there is little to draw a potential reader in. However, after seeing covers for #2&3 I think this is something that will improve.

30 Days of Night #2

Jan 12, 2012

Cover 2.5/5 - I have the --- 'B' cover, so I can only comment on mine. However, this blurred image of a monster using dark shading doesn't excite me as a reader (and I bought these as a fan). The 'A' cover is a lot better though.

30 Days of Night #3

Jan 24, 2012

Story 3/5- After a positive start, I am starting to feel disappointed with this title. The story seems to have really slowed down with little happening over the last two releases. This is one that will sadly be removed from my pull list.

Monocyte #1

Jan 16, 2012

Cover 4/5 - I saw the cover in the appropriate months 'Previews', and that was encouraged me to look further. Much like the rest of the book, it's only once you have a copy in your hands that you appreciate the detail that is involved. The only reason I didn't give it a five, was that it opens the argument of H.R Geiger before people might actually give it a proper look.

Monocyte #2

Feb 2, 2012

Story 4.5/5 - I think #2 continued how it was expected to, however the small character developments including glimpses into his history and his need for death change how the one-eyed is viewed. The text used in this comic is deliberately detailed to demand fine full attention of the reader. The only drawback is that by being a bi-monthly title I did have to re-read the first chapter to remember certain points. However, this is destined to be read as a trade in its entirety.

The Strain #2

Jan 31, 2012

Story 4/5 - I am a real fan of this series and I hope that now the first two releases have been to build the story, we start to see the bigger dangers ahead. There has been a good combination of character building and story development and a comic that I look forward to receiving each month.
