So they're racist AND homophobic. The two biggest Christian tenants.

What is this BLM propaganda? This is a filler issue with no relevance to Superheavy whatsoever. Throw it in the trash and move on.

Educated Reader reviewed Clean Room #2 Nov 24, 2015
As if it couldn't get any better, Gail goes all Grant Morrison on this issue! Nevermind the women in the refrigerator -- this book has me hooked like Red Sonja!
Its a battle of wills as Chloe faces off with self-help guru Astrid in the infamous Clean Roomand what Chloe witnesses there reinforces her desire to bring Astrid and her empire down. But what Chloe doesnt know is that the atrocities that happen in the Clean Room dont necessarily stay there.
Educated Reader reviewed Doctor Strange #2 Nov 24, 2015
Something happened between issue #1 and #2 that I cannot put my finger on. The writing is completely incoherent to the point of being Bendis-like. As much as I love Jason Aaron overall, he has laid a few eggs (Original Sin, Thor-post-Godkiller). With so many great comics available (none of them being Marvel save a few) I had to drop this. Maybe it will get better, but I doubt it.

Educated Reader reviewed All-New Hawkeye #1 Nov 24, 2015
Although this is technically All-New Hawkeye #6, this continues to be the best comic Marvel produces by a very wide margin. As long as Lemire does not go the way of the Fraction, this will be on my pull list.

Educated Reader reviewed Art Ops #1 Nov 9, 2015
Not endearing as his previous works, but Allred is really the only artist that could visualize this zaney story. I am really looking forward to Mona Lisa being in a "protection program"!
In this new series by Shaun Simon, co-writer (with Gerard Way) of The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and legendary artist Michael Allred (iZOMBIE), art not only imitates life, it becomes it!

Educated Reader reviewed Axcend #1 Nov 9, 2015
The first issue brings you right into the action. It's a little disorienting, but I think that is the initial premise. Read #2 before you give up on this series. You won't be disappointed.

Educated Reader reviewed Paper Girls #1 Oct 16, 2015
This comic is trying to be too many things at once. Is it Saga? Is it Goonies? Is it E.T.? I'm not sure Brian even knows. But he is obviously nostalgic, just like Rick Remender is in Deadly Class, so there is nothing really catchy about this comic book other than Cliff Chiang's art. PASS
