"The Standoff" is just clich enough to pack no real surprises or create suspense, even in its teaser reveal for issue #2. An okay read for those who find comfort in action-packed, gory predictability but otherwise, a pass.

Not just for foodies, "Flavor" #2 will pique the interest of those looking for a playful fantasy mashup of Lucy Knisley's Relish, Natalie Riess' Space Battle Lunchtime, and Attack on Titan.

Like preview night, "The Long Con" has provided a glimpse of what is to come, with expectations of further exposition and backstory mixed with continued effectively simple humor and solidly drawn visuals.

Although "The Magic Order" #1 serves largely as an introduction to the characters, and to a slightly lesser degree the world, it sets the reader up for an engrossing, fantastical whodunit.

Compelling and complex characters are coupled with a timely and heartbreaking story pertaining to capitalism, greed, and the migrant experience in this intricately drawn, suspenseful modern western.
