'68 Scars #3

Nov 28, 2012

This is one of the most bizarre comics Ive ever read. It shouldnt be, the premiseis relatively simple: a zombie ridden twist on the Vietnam war. And, yet, this book blewmy mind. For one, there are so many twisted stories within the story, my head wasspinning by the end of the book. Every couple of pages the story line jumps to adifferent perspective which, while fucking fascinating, is also frustratingly confusing. Itsa difcult book to read, especially if you know a lot about the Vietnam war.

A Game of Thrones #9

Jul 9, 2012

This is one of those series I recommendcollecting as a whole. You dont want to miss a book in this one. In its entirety the seriessucks the reader in with all the exhibitionistic sex and the raw, ery passion of theknights, the wolves, the women, even the children. With blood splashed across onepage (weeee! blood!) and beautiful women sprawled out on the next (weeee! boobs!),

Bedlam #7

Jun 5, 2013

My favorite thing about this book is that most of the people in it were dead before the last page. Is that wrong? Mmm, wrong feels good. This is a gem, my lovely readers. If youre on my level with this shit, meaning if you share my love of bloodshed, Bedlam and witticism (seriously, does anyone not like that?), youre gonna dig the fuck out of this book. Make yourself some tea (whiskey), put your feet up (take your pants off) and watch some smart-ass slaughter the sheep.

Bionic Man vs Bionic Woman #1

Jan 17, 2013

Shwhaaaaaat is going on? Kansas City Police Department gets completely KthefuckOd by some gnarly radioactive giant. Im already sold on this. Theres only onekind of man who could handle such an opponent. An indestructible man. An impervious man. A Detroiter. But if you cant nd a Detroiter, the next best thing would be a fucking bionic man. And lucky for us there happens to be a Bionic Man on every page of this book! Problem solved.

Call of Wonderland #1

Jun 1, 2012

Whatever the reason Call ofWonderland hooked me. When our main character, Julie examines the journal of H.P.Lovecraft, the great horror/fantasy writer, strange things begin to happen almostimmediately.

Call of Wonderland #2

Jul 10, 2012

The only real assumptions that can be made in this story is that somehowJulie Sands and Salome Gray are connected. They had to meet. Sands found thebusiness card while reading Lovecrafts journal, and Gray informs Sands that she hasjust nished a piece inspired by Lovecraft.

Dancer #3

Jul 9, 2012

I also must point out that the art is breathtaking. It is absolutely ideal for this kindof story. The inner turmoil of Alan, the strategically complicated mess the characters arein, can be felt just by looking at the images in this book.

What do you do when the fabric of your world begins to unravel leaving the mass population at the mercy of beasts sprung forth from the depths of hell (Nickleback tickets?! They still sell those?!)? You do what any god-fearing, red blooded American would do"Trust that the broads with the big tits will x it.

Glory #27

Jun 19, 2012

Although Glory is evil and awful and cruel and deadly, it appears shes ghtingthe good ght in this book. She seems to be defending those less ginormous anddangerous than herself. It seems she is allying herself with those who need an ally. Yes,thats the way it seems. So when you nally warm up to her, and forgive her for herimposing stature and her anger-management-decit-disorder that I have diagnosed herwith (berpbaderp, IM A DOCTOR!) the rug is pulled out from under you.

Glory #28

Jul 16, 2012

By the time the battle is over, every member of the army opposing Glory is dead. There are more to come, however, Glory knows this. She suggests leaving the island, now that they can no longer hide there in secrecy. She also suggests building a force great enough to ght her rivals off. She wants to build the toughest, most unmerciful team she can. And that means nding the toughest, most unmerciful being she can nd. Wait til you see who it is! I have a feeling this series is about to get a whole lot more interesting (that means more blood! weee!)

Grimm Fairy Tales Presents: Godstorm #2

Nov 28, 2012

When Venus convinces Julian to join forces with her, there isnt anyone oranything that can stand in their way. This should be interesting, because its so sexy andsexy, because its so interesting. Kinda like Zooey Deschanel in the early 2000s.

Grimm Fairy Tales Presents: Wonderland #1

Jul 17, 2012

As we all know, you cant outrun madness. It sinks into your cells and sucks you back into Wonderland the second you think youre safe. Or at least thats what weve learned from all of the other Wonderland based series (serieses? how do you pluralize series? Some writer I am!) from Grimm Fairy Tales (Grimm Fairy Tales: causing overly-imaginative people to lose sleep since 2005!). Just the same, Calie takes Violet to a "safe house" of sorts, in the hopes of guring out a way to escape the pull of Wonderland forever.

Jennifer Blood Annual #1

Jul 17, 2012

So Sam ends up dead and mangled. Disgured. And that still isnt the creepiest part of this book. Could there be a genetic predisposition, one that has affected all these brothers, that turns men into monsters? Could this murderous gene be passed down, say to sons or daughters of these sick bastards? (Im hinting at things, guys, pick it up!) This is one of Kat Vergins must reads! Have I ever steered you nerds wrong?

Jupiter's Legacy #2

Jun 27, 2013

There are a number of drinking games just waiting to be made out of this comic. Id give you guys some ideas, but its so hard to type, considering how hammered I am right now. All I can say is someone had a brilliant design when they created this comic. Its everything consumers want in entertainment brought to probably the most fanatical branch of entertainment consumers. Pure genius. We raise our drinks to Legacy, or as I affectionately call this new series, The Kanye West of Comic Books. Hows that mainstream cake taste, geeks?

Overall the book seems interesting, if youreinto mysteries (And in the age of CSI and Law & Order, who isnt?). I would suggest,however, that you start with the rst issue and work your way up from there. Otherwiseyoull end up as lost as I am (Sorry mom. For everything).

Robyn Hood (2012) #3

Nov 28, 2012

Those of you who have read my previous reviews know that I dig the fuck out oftough broads. And Ive seen my share of tough broads (mostly when passing reectivesurfaces. OH! Hows my COCKiness taste, nerds?), but Robyn Hood is in a league allher own. For the most part, the heroines we usually come in contact with in books havealways been heroines, but Robyn is different. Robyn has been a victim. Theres nothingso strikingly badass as a broad who has been knocked down, getting back up"Andthen destroying shit.

Love the art in this book. Mostly neutral earth tones, but sliced wide open by ashes of neon pink and red always coinciding with the anticipation of danger. Badass. It feels like Edmondson and Novosadov are just cracking our skulls open and running their ngers over the grooves in our temporal lobes. I feel like by the sixth issue of this Im going to be completely mindfucked. Get the hazmat suits, babies, clean ups gonna be a bitch.

The Wheel of Time (2010) #25

May 23, 2012

There is one page where you are looking into the city of Caemlyn and one character just says, "Wow." My sentiments exactly. There is such a novel feel to it, its the comic book that belongs out on your coffee table. The only criticism I could even muster is that the dialogue gets a bit cryptic, and for a reader who is unfamiliar with theseries it could understandably be frustrating. Still, stylistically this book takes the cake.

What is this power Dracula has absorbed into himself? He makes allusions to the discovery of previously unknown forces. He proves his new abilities by turning one of Vampirellas allies into one of his own mindless minions. It is obvious that Vampirella and her allies cannot defeat Dracula. But what of it? Maybe he isnt there for a ght".And if not a ght, what is it Dracula wants? This book gave me the tingles (Im a bad, bad girl). Read the book, maybe you can get some shivers too.
