Convergence #2

Apr 17, 2015

So far Convergence hasn't done much to excite or intrigue; however, with a developing plot and consistent art, hopefully the series will improve into something worthwhile. Definitely an improvement from the previous two issues.

Gotham By Midnight #5

Mar 26, 2015

Gotham By Midnight is definitely not for everyone, and sadly, is fighting in a bloated market of several great Gotham books. However, people shouldn't overlook this, as it's providing some of the most uniquely dark and macabre comic books in DC right now.

Nameless #3

Apr 8, 2015

Morrison is turning out some of the most captivating comics of his career at the moment, and Nameless has so far been the comic that I get most excited about reading, more so than The Multiversity and Annihilator, which is saying something. Horror, science-fiction, the occult, and an angry, swearing Scottish protagonist are four things which sound incoherent when put together, but Morrison somehow makes it work and makes it completely compelling. One of the most entertaining reads of 2015 so far.

Star Wars (2014) #5

May 21, 2015

Jason Aaron's Star Wars is at both times brilliantly expanding upon the central characters of the franchise, while building towards a great story with this book, and still remains an essential story for Star Wars/comic book fans. The promise of strange planets, a Boba Fett/Skywalker confrontation, and the discovery of what will be presumably Hoth keeps this book progressive and exciting, while the development of the arguably limited on-screen characters keeps the book on an issue-by-issue basis a compelling read. This comic continues to impress, and although not my most anticipated pull of the month by any means, is still one I look forward to, and don't plan on dropping in any way

Strange Sports Stories #1

Mar 19, 2015

Strange Sport Stories provides exactly what you'd imagine and is a fun read for someone looking for something slightly different. However, what will keep people sticking around for #2 and the rest of the series is the diverse, new creators being showcased in these comics.

Superman (2011) #40

Apr 30, 2015

Superman #40 is merely a transition issue, a comic in-between Johns' run and Lang's upcoming take on the character, and for an intermediary story, there's really not much to complain about. A decent enough comic, but nothing exceptional.

The Autumnlands #5

Mar 23, 2015

Autumnlands #5 was definitely more of a building block type issue; however, what it's building towards is one of Image's strongest and most unique stories in its roster today, which is truly saying something. Bring on issue six.

The Sculptor #1

Apr 14, 2015

The Sculptor might be a far cry from many people's taste in comic books, but regardless, I implore people to read this. The novel is a workshop in itself on comic art, and even someone with little understanding on the medium can still learn something from McCloud's amazing work. The story and themes expressed are inspirational, and leaves the reader with a further appreciation for art and what self-expression is, or at least leaves the reader with more questions surrounding the nature of it. Scott McCloud is no longer just a master of non-fiction.
