Alters #1

Sep 14, 2016

The creative team has done a great job on the first issue of this series. This is a good start to Aftershock's own universe of superhero comics. The blunt and forcefulness of LGBTQ association is a little awkward, but I appreciate it nonetheless. After all, there should be a place for that discussion in mainstream comics.

Adventure Time Comics #8

Feb 22, 2017

This is a really cute, short, and sweet story. It's pretty much all about Marshall, even though he barely talks the entire time. It's a great way to get a taste of the Adventure Time we all know and love, without delving really deep into an epic adventure. It's definitely worth the read, and is available at your local comic shop now!

Adventure Time Comics #11

May 15, 2017

This issue is filled with a lot of fun, friendship, and of course, adventure. So many different takes on the franchise and the artwork therein make for a great look into the span of Adventure Time. When people start creating their own stories about it, it's a good idea. Creator Patrick McHale has done a great job with this franchise as a whole, and issues like this are proof as to how big it has gotten.

All-New X-Men (2015) #1.MU

Feb 6, 2017

Nonetheless, this is a good issue that adds a great deal of wonder to Monsters Unleashed. It is also a great way to see how the X-Men are doing in the fight against the Leviathons. We've got a strong team here with a smart, determined, and kind leader. Logan's legacy lives on!

Bane: Conquest #1

May 10, 2017

Overall, this is an issue that any Bane fan is going to love"especially since the classic creative duo is back in action. It's worth a read, but I'm hoping that things get a bit clearer as to Bane's end goal and motivation in the next 11 issues. In the meantime, head to your local comic book shop and read up on some Bane stories to get a feel for the character!

Cave Carson Has A Cybernetic Eye #1

Oct 20, 2016

Young Animal is still a fairly new imprint under the DC Comics umbrella. The entire purpose of an imprint is to push the limit, start something new, and expand on a label that has profound energy with limitless creativity, passion, and drive"while still keeping one foot in the company that started it all (in this case, DC Comics). If Way and Rivera can bring Doom Patrol's energy and solid structure to Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic Eye, this is going to be one amazing series.

Dark Souls: The Breath of Andolus #4

Aug 30, 2016

Despite a few small inconsistencies, this issue is a great way to close out the series and complete Fira's quest. This series has also been a good way to branch Dark Souls into a different medium. For any fans of the game, I recommend checking this series out. Otherwise, it's a great read if you like really big, dramatic storylines. The creative team has put in a lot of effort on this series, and it shows.

Death of X #1

Oct 12, 2016

This issue could be the start of something HUGE. I have no idea where Lemire and Soule are going to take this miniseries, but I can't wait to find out. This is the perfect book for any Marvel fan who likes a dramatic story with a lot of action and superpowers. I'm actually not the biggest fan of superpower-driven stories, but I will definitely be keeping up with this one.

Die Kitty Die! Hollywood or Bust #1

May 26, 2017

There is a lot of humor in the script about themes we all know and recognize, like when a movie producer meets Kitty for the first time and looks at her chest instead of her eyes. As animated as this book looks, it's not an all ages book by any means. But anyone who enjoys a good story and clean artwork is going to love this issue. The series is just getting started, so make sure to head to your local comic shop and pick up the first issue to stay up to date on all things Kitty Ravencraft!

Doctor Strange (2015) #1.MU

Feb 16, 2017

This isn't a necessary addition to the Monsters Unleashed event, nor does it show Doctor Strange's true capabilities, but this is a good issue overall. The Leviathons are seemingly unbeatable, but they can't take over the Marvel Universe"or can they? Keep reading the event's issues to find out!

Enchanted Tiki Room #1

Oct 18, 2016

So far, this series has started out as more of a joke than anything. The script is funny and, even when it tries to be serious, it doesn't come across too much as that. However, the lighthearted script leaves a very likable tone throughout the story. It's funny, ironic, hyperbolic, and a great read for anyone and everyone. I do hope things get more serious, as there is really no solid plot, but for now, this presents a good introductory issue.

Fwendly Fwuit: Winter Wonders #1

Oct 24, 2016

This is a really cute all-ages story. It's a little hard to read because of the way the characters talk, but you get used to it about halfway through the book. Aesthetically, Lam doesn't let us down. There is always something exciting to look at, which holds our attention really well. There's a lot of movement in this issue, which keeps the story progressing at a steady, comfortable pace. For anyone who wants a good, fun, lighthearted read, look no further.The comic is available to buy from illustrator Lam's shop HERE!

Glitterbomb #1

Sep 8, 2016

This is a really great issue to start off the series. It generates enough curiosity that we want to stay and see what happens. I have a lot of questions about Farrah as well as whatever underwater"thing (for lack of a better word)"gave her the abilities she now has to live with. I am also a bit confused as to the title of the series. Hopefully it's related in some way or another. Although there is a lot to wonder about, I have no doubt that we'll get answers soon enough. For suspense/horror fans, this series is definitely for you.

Hawkeye (2016) #1

Dec 29, 2016

This new Hawkeye doesn't quite have the reputation that Clint has (for the most part, that's a good thing, seeing as most everyone wants to give Clint a swift punch in the face), but she's on her way to becoming"at least"an effective PI. Marvel fans, Hawkeye fans, Avengers fans, head out to your local comic book shop and give this a read.

Injustice: Ground Zero #1

For anyone who read the original Injustice storyline or played the game, this a great series to read in order to get a new take on the entire ordeal. Readers who are new to Injustice will enjoy it just as much, so long as they pay close attention to Harley's storytelling in this issue. Either way, this is a great read for anyone interested in the DC Universe.

Horror fans and Archie fans alike are going to love this one-shot. I've never read another Archie comic like it, and was sincerely bummed that it was just a one-shot.

KISS/Vampirella #1 is a great issue to kick off the series. Vampi fans, you're going to love this take on her character. We don't see all too much of KISS just yet, but I'm hoping that changes really soon. The concept of throwing rock and roll into the mix of storytelling is a great one, and I can't wait for more!

Man-Thing (2017) #3

This is a great issue to add to the series. R.L. Stine does a wonderful job telling the story, even if there is a hint too much detail in the text. The artwork is phenomenal, and the creative team works so effectively in unison to orchestrate a really entertaining story. But you'll have to keep reading to see if Man-Thing can overcome his enemies and save Oldfather! What does fate hold for the swamp? Head to your local comic shop and find out!

Over The Garden Wall #5

I'm not too sure why the usual protagonists aren't featured in this issue, but I'm not complaining. As much as I wanted to see more about their stories, this issue was surprisingly pleasant to read. I recommend this issue for anyone who wants a light read. For children who are just getting into comics, this is perfect for them to start out, too. It's an adorable, moralistic, and upbeat story that is truly a joy to read through.

So, keep reading to see what these three heroes get themselves into!

Reggie and Me #1

The Archie line of books is really making a big impact on shelves, what with Archie, Jughead, Betty & Veronica, Life with Kevin, Reggie and Me, etc. This is a great addition to books that take a closer look at each of the characters from the iconic series. For both old and new fans, this is a great read.

Reggie and Me #2

Jan 20, 2017

Archie fans, both old and new, this is an issue you've got to read. The franchise is splitting their characters up into different series (i.e. Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica, Life with Kevin, etc.), and each is as entertaining as the last. True fans of the franchise need to read all of them and, I promise, this is one that doesn't disappoint.

Reggie and Me #5

May 8, 2017

This is a really heartwarming issue that shows us a lot about how strong the friendships in Archie really are. Even amongst the most unlikely of friends, there is still respect. These characters are some seriously kind-hearted people with good intentions. Except for Reggie, so it'll be interesting to see what he's got up his sleeve. As Vader says, Riverdale is headed towards "tears and fears." Keep reading to see what happens!

In terms of their friendship, it has just been rekindled, so the possibilities are endless as to what kind of trouble they can get into together! This is all, of course, only if CanCan doesn't have a massive concussion from that Knockout tackle. But who knows? We'll just have to read and see!

I'm most interested in how character development will come into play"especially with Hindsight"and how these kids will learn how to act as one cohesive group.

Spell On Wheels #1

Oct 26, 2016

Something you wouldn't expect is that the sisters' house is really vibrant. Marissa Louise's colors help emphasize Leth's creation of an everyday type of witch. This so epically breaks the stereotype that witches are dark, morbid, scary creatures. These women look and act like normal people. This isn't, of course, the first time we're seeing a "normal" witch, but it definitely makes for a good story. For a fun and adventurous read, look no further!

Spell On Wheels #2

Nov 23, 2016

The creative team has done a wonderful job creating a linear and simple-yet-entertaining storyline. These three witches don't fit the "witch" stereotype, which is bittersweet to me, personally. When I read about witches, I want a lot of cleverness, slyness, and witchcraft at play. However, in this story, the girls are just normal people; we don't even get to see too much of their powers. It's awesome that the "evil witch" thinking is being debunked, but I sort of miss it"at least the magic. We'll just have to keep reading to see whether or not these girls get control of their items and magic going forward. You can pick up this issue and issue #1 at your local comic book shop now!

Feb 3, 2017

Both DC Comics and Dynamite Entertainment have done a fabulous job with this second issue. The bond between Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman is strong and getting stronger, so the looming danger probably isn't going to defeat them entirely. I'm not sure how they're going to get out of the pickle they're in currently, but I can't wait to find out!

This is a really simple issue to start off what is bound to be one rollercoaster of a series.

World Reader #2

May 22, 2017

This is a great series for anyone who likes science fiction and/or space exploration. It's an intricate storyline depicted with a simplistic storytelling style. Visually, this book draws me in more than most other books I've read recently. The line work is really clean, but the coloring makes it look more surreal than anything. I fully recommend this series for anyone interested in this genre. Head out to your local comic shop and give it a read!

Any Archie fan is going to love this issue. Mark Waid has been doing an amazing job with the new Archie series, despite having to work alongside so many different artists. The storyline is linear, smooth, and understandable. Not only is his writing style easily readable, but it's fun and entertaining, too. There are jokes thrown around here and there, and it really fits not only the signature laughs that Archie always has, but Waid's script as well. This is an issue that flips Archie's world upside down, so you don't want to miss it!

Giant Days #23

Feb 8, 2017

Giant Days has grown to be one of my favorite comic book series out these days. Not only is it funny, but it's relatable. Our trio of protagonists isn't made of special people to the world. Susan, Esther, and Daisy are normal kids just trying to grow up without getting in too much trouble or hurting themselves. This truly is one of the greatest series I've read, solely because of the relief I feel when I read about these girls and think, "Huh, I'm not the only one like that." If you haven't read any of this series yet, what are you waiting for? Make a trip to your local comic shop and get hip!

It's definitely a must-read book for anyone keeping up with the series and/or fans of the series. It's enjoyable, but previous knowledge of past issues does help in understanding the storyline, so new readers probably won't like it as much as we who have been reading every issue as they are released.

This is a great one-shot from Archie, so you don't need to have any prior knowledge of the ongoing series to understand the storyline. Any fans of the franchise are going to love this issue. It does utilize stereotypes about punk rock as a genre of music and a subculture, but only to clearly get the message across.

Horror fiends and political junkies, this might just be for you. It's a strange mix of themes that surprisingly mix really well together; this is definitely a title that will stand out on the shelf.

Given recent incidents, there has been a lot of hate spread around concerning gender, race, sexual orientation, etc. It's awesome to see that, at least, the comic book industry isn't being fazed by such hate.

Jughead (2015) #9

Sep 12, 2016

Jughead #9 is an issue that changes up the characterization of a character we've gotten so used to"just a bit, anyway. This is an awesome look at Jughead acting like an actual, normal teenager (like the rest of his friends). I never would have thought to put Sabrina with Jug"North has some really fresh ideas that he is bringing to the series. With a storyline like this, there is bound to be some fun!

Jughead (2015) #11

Nov 30, 2016

As much as I loved this issue and Jughead's newfound friendship with Sabrina, I kind of wish the two had become an item. Yeah, it would have taken some getting used to, seeing as Jughead has never dated anyone, but they were cute. Even their pets balance out! Hot Dog and Salem are just as awesome as Jughead and Sabrina. In any case, I hope we see more of Sabrina, even though she's essentially out of the bulk of Jughead's life. I am, however, super glad that she was brought to the series in the first place. The Archie universe is doing well as a whole, and I couldn't recommend these newer books more. This issue just came out today, so head over to your local comic book shop and give it a read.

This is a great story for anyone who likes a good adventure. The language used reflects the time period, so it won't be for everyone, but definitely for fans of the medieval times.

House of Penance #6

Sep 20, 2016

This miniseries has been quite a ride. Watching Sarah through this lengthened mental breakdown is both sad and satisfying, now that she is finally with her family. I've thought of a lot of different concepts while reading this series. Mental illness, loss of a loved one, being haunted by your past, paranormal encounters, gun control, and so much more. Tomasi and Bertram have orchestrated nothing short of a masterpiece in House of Penance"a thought-provoking and deeply disturbing masterpiece.

Rise of the Black Flame #1

Sep 8, 2016

Mignola has a knack for blending action, adventure, and horror into one cohesive, entertaining story. Even if the storyline of "kids start to go missing from a town"whodunit?" isn't a new one by any means, Mignola is still going to put his dark, twisted flair onto it and make it a unique series. This series is no exception to his masterful craft, and that's a good thing. The creative team has done a fabulous job on this series, and given us yet another flawless excerpt from the pages of Hellboy.

Star Trek: Waypoint #1

Sep 27, 2016

By definition, anthology series tend to be uneven. A story that appeals to a certain group of readers may not appeal to others. IDW has a very talented and diverse staff of writers and artists. It will be interesting to see what happens when some of these dissimilar yet highly talented storytellers are given an opportunity to share their visions.

Warlords of Appalachia #1

Oct 11, 2016

The premise of this storyline is one we've all thought about, especially in modern times with our current political problems and authoritative corruption. Connecting a work of fiction to our lives is the best way to grab readers' attention, and Johnson does it well. This series is a great way to look at the consequences of political unrest, "defiant" or "free" citizenship (you choose), and standing up for what one thinks is right. Anyone who enjoys a dramatic storyline with political undertones is going to love this series"a beautiful work of prospect indeed.

Witchfinder: City of the Dead #1

Sep 1, 2016

This is a very gloomy, impressive start to the new story arc. I'm excited to see Edward's character develop a bit more"maybe he'll even end up working with the Brotherhood of Ra. The creative team has done a fine job of drawing us in; subsequent issues will tell if they'll keep our attention or not. Meanwhile, for any fan of Mignola or the pages of Hellboy, this is most definitely a must-read.

GWAR: Orgasmageddon #1

Jun 2, 2017

I haven't been this impressed with a comic book in a long time. So much havoc, wreckage, time travel, awesomeness, and adventures of epic proportions! To say I'm happy with this issue is a gross understatement of how I truly feel right now. To see one of my favorite bands coming into one of my favorite mediums with such a strong start makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Whether or not you know of and/or have heard GWAR's music, you're going to love this issue. It's clear that it took a lot of time and effort, and this creative team has orchestrated something truly unique and beautiful, to say the least.

Locke & Key: Small World #1

Jan 12, 2017

In the back of this issue, we come to find that a lot of this issue was inspired by Richard Matheson and The Shrinking Man. It's easy to see the influences, but it warrants a second read just to see if you can pick up on them. This horror series is not only back in the comic book game, but a TV pilot is being written by Joe Hill himself, to be produced by IDW Entertainment. If it's anything like this issue, we're in for a damn good time. Get stoked! And head over to your local comic book shop to pick up the Locke & Key books to catch up on this horrific yet playfully heartwarming series.

Neil Gaiman's Troll Bridge #1

Oct 14, 2016

This story is one that I haven't stopped recommending since I was young, and I never will. But now, I have a different version to recommend. Doran's take on this story will leave you dumbfounded with emotion and deep thought. If you're a Gaiman fan, this absolutely has to be in your library. If you aren't, this short story might change that. Either way, check it out at your local comic book shop and let us know what you think.

Royal City #1

Mar 7, 2017

This series is all Lemire's. He controls it all, and is able to do whatever he wants, creatively, to give us a work of art that is truly his own. Aside from his work on Hawkeye, X-Men, Wolverine, and Moon Knight, Lemire is showing us a lot of talent here. This is a really enthralling issue that is bound to get your attention and never let it go. For your own good, visit your local comic book shop and give this a read.
