A stereotypical character and watercolor art mar this dark tale of pirates and madness.

Epitaphs from the Abyss #6 is too timid and lacks the risk-taking of the old EC comics.

Hello Darkness #1 contains two good stories but the bulk of the issue is filled with generic tales that fail to produce any chills.

The story is loaded with atmosphere and feels like the best combination of a classic mystery story and one of H. P. Lovecraft's more terrifying tales.

Most of the issue shows Hetta interacting with the soldiers, but there's a great amount of tension here and a good climax to the issue.

The book is filled with atmosphere and takes its time letting you experience life with the characters.

Crocodile Black #1's Danny has the potential to be a much-discussed character in the future.

Despite the offbeat art style, 'Godzilla Rivals: Vs. Manda #1' is an enjoyable read from cover to cover.

Monster High is eternally delightful with great writing, eye-popping art and a large cast of Universal Horror-inspired characters.

'S.I.R.' #1 delivers a double-shot of romance and furious action, combining some genuinely heartfelt moments with some dazzling 'Kamen Rider'-style motorcycle combat.

Overall, this is a solid start to the mini-series that sets Allison off on a quest that I'll be looking forward to following in the issues to come.

Black Hammer: Spiral City #1 is a good starting point for anyone unfamiliar with the Black Hammer universe. It's grim but main character Inspector Insector is not to be missed.

DC tells a fascinating story of an alternate timeline where Jason Todd survived the Joker's attack in the 'Death in the Family' tale.

Monsters Are My Business (And Business is Bloody) #1 establishes an interesting variation on a post-apocalyptic world with a trio of characters that are instantly likable.

Sectaurs #1 adds depth to the story of the Sectaurs and their world of Symbion, with lots of great action scenes and Game of Thrones-style politics.

'The Creeping Below' #1 simmers from front to back with dread and atmosphere, mixing revenge thrillers with primordial horror to create something special.

This is another delightful issue that delves deeper into Fat Charlie's character while slowly building the mythology of this intriguing world.

Reading this issue felt like watching a great classic film like "The Thin Man", with some great banter between main characters Jenny and Joe and a chilling atmosphere of Lovecraftian horror throughout.

Conquest 2099 #3 is epic space opera and incredibly fun, with Dracula raging across worlds in his massive starship as a ragtag band of 2099 heroes race across the galaxy to stop him. If you're not reading this miniseries, you're missing out!

Doll Parts: A Lovesick Tale #1 is another Luana Vecchio masterpiece, filled with existential dread and real-world horrors all wrapped in magnificent artwork.

Godzilla's Monsterpiece Theater #1 is a blast and so much fun, with famous real-life and fictional characters interacting with Godzilla and Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby. It's like a Stan Lee version of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen".

Godzilla: Monsterpiece Theater #2 is thrilling and incredibly fun, as Jay Gatsby, Sherlock Holmes, a cyber Jules Verne and a time traveler team up to end Godzilla once and for all.

This is a wonderful kick-off to the miniseries, wonderfully written with a perfect mix of surrealism, brutal violence and humor.

Those unfamiliar with the Monster High universe will find a lot in the book to love, with two stories filled with great art and writing.

Issue #2 continues expanding the Sectaurs universe into an epic heroic fantasy, with eye-popping art, lots of brutal swordplay and some great plot twists.

'Werewolf by NIght' #1 feels like experiencing a great grindhouse horror film from the 1970s, with cults of vampires, gothic castles, gory violence and an epic battle with Elsa Bloodstone.

Witchblade #3 masterfully mixes superhero action with David Cronenberg-style body horror to create another wonderfully riveting issue.

Do yourself a favor and pick up this issue (and last issue if you missed it). This story and team are a blast and there's a lot more action to come. This is the best the Suicide Squad has been in ages. A great and fun read that will have you waiting impatiently for the next issue.

With one of the best incarnations of the team ever, some great character moments and brutal action, Suicide Squad: Dream Team #3 is one of the best books of the week.

Dreamer has never been greater than she is here, in a book filled with blazing action and surprising plot twists.

Violent Flowers #2 continues one of the best vampire tales in years, with stunning art, a heavy atmosphere of dread and a European flair.
