Archie: 1941 #1

Sep 13, 2018

Issue #1 promises a realistic book based on history. I hope to see more than Archie handling the coming conflict since he was the only character in this issue with an arc.

Archie: 1941 #2

Oct 20, 2018

Archie: 1941 continues to be an amazing experience. Even in this sophomore issue, you can feel everything the team is going for, and it should only get better.

Archie: 1941 #4

Jan 2, 2019

Archie: 1941 has been a great mini so far. This series focuses on the wrong things but still manages to get a few solid moments in as the series rolls into the finale.

Border Town #1

Sep 6, 2018

Border Town #1 is everything you want from a first issue. It is topical, brutal, and fun. A must pull series that gets my highest recommendation.

Border Town #2

Oct 4, 2018

Border Town #2 introduces a big conflict and a cuddly Chupacabra for the readers to care for. The narrative moves forward and the action is all but absent, which is forgivable.

Border Town #3

Nov 9, 2018

Border Town #3 could be the best so far. It has the political edge back and the artwork is so cinematic it is begging for a TV adaptation. Look out for the great final splash page. It is getting interesting...I mean...more interesting.

Cosmic Ghost Rider #1 has all but guaranteed us a great series like nothing we have seen before.

Cosmic Ghost Rider (2018) #2

Aug 1, 2018

Cosmic Ghost Rider is a breath of fresh air for Marvel right now. The book is comedic gold and the story is adorably weird. Read it!

Cosmic Ghost Rider (2018) #3

Sep 6, 2018

Superhero comics are rarely this fun and entertaining. Issue #3 is the best so far and probably just as fun or more fun than the previous issue.

Cosmic Ghost Rider (2018) #4

Oct 6, 2018

Cosmic Ghost Rider #4 takes a step back comedically and a step forward narratively. With one more issue left, this is still a must-read series.

Cosmic Ghost Rider (2018) #5

Nov 16, 2018

Cosmic Ghost Rider #5 wraps up this phenomenal miniseries with heart instead of comedy. It is a safe ending to the series.

Die #1

Dec 6, 2018

Die #1 is a surprise masterpiece that demands your attention. This is one of 2018's best comic issues.

Die #2

Jan 8, 2019

Die #2 is an amazing follow-up to the Masterpiece of the first issue. The world and characters are starting to be realized and there is so much promise in what is to come.

DIE!DIE!DIE! #1

Jul 13, 2018

It might be cheesy and it might be bloody, and that might be your thing. Die!Die!Die! #1 has potential, but we just won't know until the next issue where the story actually begins.

DIE!DIE!DIE! #2

Aug 24, 2018

Kirkman and the creative staff deliver exactly what I was hoping for after Issue #1. This is a relentless action-fest and highly recommended.

Die!Die!Die! #3 gives the readers more of they want while moving the story and the characters along almost perfectly. Very highly recommended.

DIE!DIE!DIE! #4

Oct 26, 2018

Die!Die!Die! #4 delivers just like the last few have. More action, more espionage, and a ridiculous thing called "The Brown Trigger."

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark #1

Jul 5, 2018

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark could have been a nothing comic, but instead the team pulls it off and makes something that people can, pardon the pun, sink their teeth into.

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark #2

Sep 11, 2018

Issue #2 continues the comedy with our favorite Mistress of Horror, but this time she finds herself with Edgar Allen Poe.

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark #3

Nov 9, 2018

Elvira: Mistress of the Dark #3 is keeping with the series charm and toning down Elvira just a little and making for a better comic.

Gideon Falls #5

Jul 17, 2018

The creative team behind Old Man Logan is going all out on a horror comic that is proving to be quite gripping. Issue #5 is leading us into the arc's finale and is just as great an issue as we have had so far in this series.

Gideon Falls #6

Aug 14, 2018

A disappointing close to the first story arc. Sorrentino delivers on the art as always, but the contents of the Black Barn were lackluster.

Gideon Falls #7

Oct 17, 2018

Gideon Falls #7 is the first of the second story arc and it does a great job of setting up this volume with the characters running into new obstacles.

Gideon Falls #8

Gideon Falls #8 is fitting more pieces of the puzzle together and reeling in the reader. The final page suggests the two worlds are close to colliding

Gideon Falls #15

Jul 22, 2019

Gideon Falls is in a strange place that has been somewhere interesting, but mostly hard to follow. Don't but the book down, keep reading. Lemire will take us back to the Gideon Falls we know, but in the meantime, get lost in the artwork. I still recommend this so people can follow along and keep up with the story of the Black Barn.

Ice Cream Man #7

Sep 18, 2018

The Ice Cream Man rollercoaster takes another turn down. This time the horror element feels shoehorned in, and the story would have been better without it.

Ice Cream Man #8

Oct 31, 2018

Ice Cream Man #8 is a mess story-wise and is stretching the definition of "anthology," but at least the art is on-point as always.

Jeepers Creepers #3

So far, the Jeepers Creepers license is being put to waste in more than one medium. Dynamite's comic series is no exception.

Jeepers Creepers #4

Jeepers Creepers #5

Jeepers Creepers #5 suffers from the same tired storyline and with this being a showdown issue with our hero and villain, it carries no wait.

Jughead: The Hunger (2017) #7

Aug 21, 2018

I don't want this series to end. It's been an entertaining ride so far, and this issue shows us that one battle is over, but there are more coming. If you like Archie, and even if you don't, Jughead: The Hunger is worth your time. Issue #7 shows no drop in quality at all.

Jughead: The Hunger (2017) #8

Oblivion Song #5

Robert Kirkman is doing what he does best and telling us a good story. Issue #5 is peeling back more of the story and finally giving us the "reunion" it has been leading up to.

Oblivion Song #9

Oblivion Song #9 is a heist, but it is hard to ignore the untapped potential of what the heist could have been. Instead, we get a very straightforward theft with little to no conflict.

The Cape: The Fallen #2

Jul 26, 2018

Issue #1 wasn't very hard to beat since it was already lackluster and didn't paint a hopeful series ahead. Luckily, this issue picks things up (literally) and sets them in motion while giving us those old-school The Cape feels.
