Black Magick is back and it came back strong. Greg continues to deliver a procedural drama that offers a believable sense of everyday life. Nicola continues with her career defining art with the beautiful assisted coloring of Chiara. Black Magick is a series you'd want to board again.

The rise of RAAM issue 4 is a great read overall with fantastic writing and wonderful art. I'd love to see more of the Gears of war lore in comics or expand on the rich story of the games. Kurtis Wiebe was an excellent choice.

Jughead the hunger reminds readers why Archie comics has a horror line and why it's so good. Frank, Michael and Dee do an amazing Job and it's a shame this is a one-shot as I'd love to see more from this team on this title.

Issue 7 is a great opener to a volume and starting point for any new reader. Amy, Kewber and Schimerys continue to demonstrate their chemistry with a series every KISS fan should read.

Overall issue 10 is a brilliant read and fitting conclusion to a great series. Amy has written a KISS title that will be remembered as one of the best KISS titles. Kewber's art is a great fit for the series. I would have liked this series to have continued as it would have been interesting to see the next chapter of their adventures. However, this is a heartwarming conclusion that doesn't disappoint.

Issue 2 is a beautifully drawn and written issue that has philosophy that can be used in everyday life. Lights also doesn't include this ideology of thinking to sound pretentious and superior but to develop a character and explore their thinking. The story is shaping up well and I can't wait for new music & issue 3.

Issue three is a visual spectacular, that has a great story with heart. Lights has created compelling characters that continue to grow. The end goal of Skin & Earth is beginning to take place. I can't wait to see how the story progresses from here.

This is a great read that has the same vibe the TV series did. However this issue came too soon as there is so much to play with.

This issue is a great read and a must for fans of Lovecraftian monsters and it mythos. The way they blend their reality with ours to create a whole new sense of reality is superb. The writing and art make this comic feel like a modernized noir crime tale, as a result making this an intelligent and enjoyable tale that adds to the Lovecraftian mythos. How this tale ends is anyone's guest but what I do know is that I will be glad I was there for the ride.

Wynonna Earp issue 6 is a fun and emotional ride.

This issue is an overall success due to the amazing writing and beautiful art throughout the issue. It is still unclear where Beau is taking this volume however the ride is just thrilling. The western and supernatural influence seems to be a winner here. This proves that westerns aren't as dead a genre as previously thought.

Betty and Veronica's Vixens is a fun read that is definitely targeted at a female demography. They hit that target perfectly.

This is a great second issue, that still feels like a Bill and Ted story. I am interested to see where this story goes and hope the art and colors continue this marriage of perfection. Brian is taking the characters in new directions and I hope he explores Rufus more in future issues.

This is a very chilling first issue that creates a mystery that's begging to be solved. These characters have an amazing depth and history waiting to be explored. Sebel writing and Niko's art are the perfect combination in bring this unsettling tale to life. Demonic may be about demons but it delves deeper into the the feeling of surrendering your free will and living with the consequences. A chilling and unsettling ride.

Issue 5 is the best issue of the series and a great end to a series with a rocky start. It's a shame this is the end but if the last line of the comic is correct this isn't the last we've seen of Robbie Reyes. As for now it ends on a high and there's not much more you could ask for.

The Mummy is a great first issue. The writing and art live up to the Hammer name. Milligan does a fantastic job at setting the stage while Freire's art has a creates the feeling of a classic Horror film.

Milligan and Freire prove once again that they are the team to convert this classic film to the world of comics. The slow build-ups pay off and the realism art walks in perfect balance with the colors. The conclusion of this series is so uncertain it makes every issue a joy to read.

View Issue       View Full Review

OverallThe Mummy issue 5 is a fine issue to a series inspired by a B-Movie. Peter, Ronilson and Ming have near perfect chemistry that I'd love to see them work on another project together. Issue 5 may not be a finale I was expecting but it was an interesting Finale that did deliver.

View Issue       View Full Review

Overall this issue is a great issue, that set's up what will be a tense arc. Harris produces another excellent script that is brought to life with Smith's and Bellaire's art and coloring. This issue is good for current fans of the series and also a great issue for a jump on point as it's the start of a new arc.

Overall Rugrats issue 1 is a fun read, that is perfect for a nostalgic read. The concept Box has set up here has potential and we'll have to wait for issue 2 to know where he takes them. The art and colors are solid and faithful. I would recommend reading this if you're in the mood for something simple and fun.

'There's nothing There' issue 5 is an interesting read that has brilliantly stylistic art. This is not for everyone, something Patrick even acknowledges in a letter in the back of the issue. This series however, is for those who want to challenge their thinking and read a great psychological tale. I just wish there wasn't so much white people bashing as it felt unnecessary within the narrative.

This is a fine special and a good change of pace from the current series. This does suffer from some unanswered questions that does affect the development of the story. The writing is however, brilliant along with the art. This special has you wanting more and hopefully we'll see that.

Once again Image and Jim have produced a brilliant issue and series. The writing is fantastic, with a story that could continue if Jim Zub choses too. Djibril and K.

Josie and the pussy doesn't knock it out of the park the same as the other Archie books. However it does get a home run. Mok's art and Andre's colors adds enough energy to leave you wanting more. Archie comics is the company to beat and Josie and the Pussycats are further proof of this. It doesn't matter if you're an Archie fan or not, this is a book to jump on. This issue may have been predictable you know with Marguerite at the helm we'll get something familiar yet original.

View Issue       View Full Review

Overall this is a great read. Although nothing spectacular happened and Kiss only made brief cameo like appearances, it however was a fun read that sets the wheels of this series in motion. Amy and Kewber are great in this issue and I hope that continues. This issue is accessible by everyone, Kiss fan or not, that's the beauty of Amy's writing.

This is a good issue overall, that has an interesting concept but is a slow builder. If you are new to KISS or Vampirella this is a good issue to ease you into both comic franchises. The art is great.

View Issue       View Full Review

KISS/Vampriella's third outing is the best yet. Sebela captures the essence of KISS & Vampirella in this fun issue. Martello does a great job on the art as each pose is dynamic, however more motion is needed in order the keep the scenes from becoming static. The colors are great as they don't over power the art or the page. With only two issues left of the series it's shaping up to be a enjoyable ride.

View Issue       View Full Review

Planet of Daemons issue three is the best issue in the series, even if it repeats itself a bit. The art and colors continue to improve. It will be interesting to see how this series ends as so far it has been predictable but maybe that's Kevin's end game to seem predictable to leave room for the twist ending.

View Issue       View Full Review

OverallReggie and Me is a great addition to the ever expanding Archie-verse, with a creative team that knows and understands the character. Where this tale goes, only time will tell.

This issue is a great read, however it's the art that makes this issue. Porter produces some great art that's accompanied with Hi-Fi's colors to create some beautiful pages.J.M. DeMatteis and Keith Giffen do a fine job with the writing however the conflict with Velma and Daphne is getting repetitive. However with the apparent closure of this conflict could bring something new next issue.

Overall this is a great issue. The focus of this story is Angel, however it is also about the men and how their perception of the world is disappearing and what they'll do to keep hold of it. The ability to add this political slant proves how talented Milligan and Freire truly are.
