Dead of Winter #1

Aug 2, 2017

An interesting take on the typical zombie formula. Sparky is a high point of the issue and the source of a lot of laughs.

Giants #1

Jan 4, 2018

GIANTS #1 introduces a compelling take on both the post-apocalyptic and the kaiju genres. Most impressively, the writers manage to put the focus on the brothers amid the titanic setting.

Hercules: Wrath of the Heavens #1

Aug 17, 2017

HERCULES: WRATH OF THE HEAVENS #1 is a captivating futuristic adaptation of the most well-known Greek myth. The concept alone is gold, but it's reinforced by compelling writing.

Hercules: Wrath of the Heavens #2

Sep 16, 2017

HERCULES: WRATH OF THE HEAVENS #2 diverges somewhat from the traditional layout of the 12 Labors of Hercules. However, it is still steeped in knowledge and respect for Greek Mythology.

Hercules: Wrath of the Heavens #3

Nov 13, 2017

HERCULES: WRATH OF THE HEAVENS #3 has some really interesting ideas, including an awesome take on the classical hydra. However, the art was sub-par and the characterization could have been better.

Hercules: Wrath of the Heavens #4

Nov 27, 2017

HERCULES: WRATH OF THE HEAVENS #4 rapidly decreases in quality within the issue, and for the series as a whole. The writers veer away from classical myth, but fail to replace it with something substantial and satisfying.

InferNoct #2

Oct 17, 2017

INFERNOCT #2 is a blast to read. The main thing I wanted from the series after the first issue was even more Lovecraftian horrors and the second issue delivers that in spades.

Rick and Morty (2015) #29

Aug 26, 2017

RICK AND MORTY #29 looks like a normal episode of the show, but the characters don't feel as authentic and the plot line is fairly weak.

Riftworld Legends #1

Oct 20, 2017

RIFTWORLD LEGENDS #1 puts an interesting spin on the fantasy trope of people from earth accidentally arriving in a magic world. The decision to make 15th century explorers the protagonists works really well.

The Highest House #1

Mar 21, 2018

HIGHEST HOUSE #1 is a fantastic opening issue, immediately dispelling any notion that Medieval Fantasy is overdone and boring.

Wolfenstein #1

Sep 20, 2017

WOLFENSTEIN #1 perfectly channels the style of Wolfenstein: The New Order and accomplishes its job of hyping you up for the upcoming sequel!
