Fight Club 2 #1

May 27, 2015

What Mr. Palahniuk did not bring to Fight Club 2, issue #1 was imagination. You're too old, fat man. Your tits are too big. Get the fuck off my porch.

Munchkin #1

Feb 18, 2015

The stories in Munchkin #1 follow dungeon-delving adventurers on madcap hack-and-slash-for-loot adventures drawn in a cartoon caricature style with a lot of bold colors and googly-eyed monsters.

Munchkin #2

Mar 24, 2015

The art is minimal, the characterization is one-stroke, the dialog is wooden, and it is devoid of drama or suspense.

Mythic #1

Jun 3, 2015

Mythic has promise, if it wrench the kinks out of its narrative structure. At the moment, its a sack of fragments.

RunLoveKill #1

Apr 22, 2015

So RunLoveKill #1 offers very little characterization, not much resembling a plot, and almost no exposition. Its really rather amazing how little they fit into more than thirty pages. I think its aiming for mysterious, but its hitting frustrating and alienating.

Starve #1

Jun 10, 2015

Another complaint is that the art, while bold, is so stylized that it is sometimes hard to follow. But nothing is perfect, and this dish is recommended. Brian Wood is the writer, Danijel Zezelj is the artist, and Dave Stewart is the colorist. Image is the publisher.

Valhalla Mad #1

Jun 24, 2015

The characterizations are one dimensional, there is almost no conflict, the travelers have no motivations beyond emptying tankards and helping out the occasional distressed commercial aircraft, the plot doesn't exist. And the dialogue is gratingly awful.
