Another new twist on the Flash legend, but the wooden characterization makes the premise a rather hard pill to swallow.

The Fifth Beatle is a genuine embarrassment. Who was Brian Epstein? This graphic novel doesnt tell us, but his tragic life sure will make a swell movie!

This book is a gentle and frightening fairy tale that digs deep and resonates within the characters as well as the readers. Hellboy: The Midnight Circus is a fiery gem in a tasteful, subtle setting that leaves us feeling melancholy, scared, and wishing our parents were around to comfort us.

Help me Dr. Zaiusthis competently written and drawn book provides ZERO editorial context and leaves new readers dangling from The City Tree (whatever the hell that is).

A well-crafted comic with a genuine love for the four-color Silver Age as well as early science fiction concepts, Six-Gun Gorilla is a must-read.

Before I'd read this issue, I would have figured that the biggest problem the Kingdom of Ooo had would be flies and/or ants. But there's trouble aplenty, and our heroes are missing. I plan to stick around to see how it all turns out and so should you. Sweet!

Domovoi is an adult fairy tale that is not strictly for fans of Hellboy and Fables, and is a treat for anyone who loves great storytelling.

A solid one-shot that is quite good, but cant possibly achieve the level of all the advance hype.
