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.

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.

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

I still cant recommend this title.

Jason Martin and Dan Mendoza are the writers, Winston Young is the artist. The book is published by Action Lab Entertainment.

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.

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.

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

Chip Zdarsky is the writer. Kagan McLeod is the artist. Kaptara is from Image Comics.

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.

Harrow County is written by Cullen Bunn. The artist is Tyler Crook.

The Tithe is written by Matt Hawkins. The artist is Rahsan Ekedal. It is produced by Minotaur Press, a Top Cow Productions Company.

Thats a cheap trick, but a common one. And overall, Injection #1 makes me want to read #2. Recommended. Warren Ellis is the writer. Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire are the artists.
