If you like sci-fi at all, or, honestly, if you just like competently-executed comic books, give this one a shot. Terminator: Enemy of My Enemy #1 from Dark Horse is well worth making a spot for in your comics budget.

With its gorgeous art and striking story, Deadly Class is brimming with life.

Revelations is a great title for this series, which is teeming with just that.

So, all in all, not abysmal, but not great. If you like the character, I don't think you'll be too disappointed, but I don't expect a lot of new readers to be won over by this issue.

With a focus on personal details and fantastic art, Valiant's new Unity title sets the bar high for superhero comics.

This new Terminator series lacks excitement as the final battle draws near.

All in all, Sledgehammer 44: Lightning War #1 is another enjoyable outing from these esteemed gents, and one that promises more good things to come.

With its unique look at the effects of alcoholism through a superhero lens, Dark Horse's Buzzkill is anything but.

Clown Fatale is an uninspired sexploitation comic that ultimately fails to offer readers anything worthwhile.

The coming attractions (next-issue box, in comic book parlance) promises more theatrical fun in the coming months. I sincerely hope that the creators behind this series (it's not clear to me if it's going to be the same creators every month, or a rotating cast with each story arc) can manage to keep things lively and not let the concept get stale. Certainly, even the most entertaining camp can easily turn predictable and boring if not handled correctly. I, for one, will definitely be tuning in to each issue to see if these gents are up to the challenge. If you like this kind of thing, I'm hard pressed to think of an example that beats this, but that might be this title's biggest hurdle"finding an audience. I'm not convinced that there are enough fans of this kind of thing to support a monthly title.

Don't let the horrific cover scare you offthis book is better than it first appears.

It piqued my interest, it made me laugh, and the characters felt real and alive to me. The art is a little sketchier than I usually like, but I didn't detect any real mistakes"that is to say, the anatomy was on point, faces stayed recognizable, and the events flowed from one panel to the next logically. There were also a few facial expressions that made me chuckle to myself. So, to sum up, I'm recommending this book. It kept me entertained and interested the whole way through, and not once did I even feel like I needed to check to see how many pages I had left.

Kiss Me, Satan! survives some common mistakes to bring new life to the werewolf genre.

Unabashedly recommended. This revived Silver Age character is nothing but solid gold.

Good character moments can't save this issue from its own aimlessness.

Overall, I really enjoyed this comic book. It was a fairly easy read, but was interesting and exciting enough to keep anyone's interest. I have a special love for the time period during which this was set, which I think would be a bonus to any fan of the genre, but I believe that there's enough here to be worth the time from any comic book fan.

The first issue of Burn the Orphanage, a new three-issue mini-series, perfectly captures everything that made the "good old days" just that good.
