Kelly Sue DeConnick has always been a fantastic writer, but I truly believe that Bitch Planet is her best work. You can see the bruises and the wounds and the rage and the love within her words. She pours her heart and soul into this book, and each word I read made me feel prouder and less alone.

I don't care what age you are or what you're into, if you're looking for something fresh and fun, read this series. The whole damn thing, and hopefully we'll see another series after this one ends.

This book is one of the easiest five stars across the board issues I've ever seen, and you can damn near taste the hard work and passion that went into it. Is that weird? Probably"Good. If I've learned anything from Ether #4, it's that being a little strange is something we all need now and then.

Extremity #6, you took me by surprise, and this time I don't mind at all.

I need more of this book, period.

Overall I really enjoyed this story, and the ending was wrapped up quite nicely. It didn't conclude how I was predicting, and Pat Shand has a certain knack for adding details and twists like that with his work. This story got the same special treatment, and I would definitely recommend it to those fellow horror fans out there.

I adore the fact that this series isn't for everyone, and this only goes to show how Image is pushing the boundaries in the comic book industry. This slashy, graphically designed and ink-dripped illustration style works so harmoniously with the trippy story and hypersexualized humor, and it reminds me of reading Jhonen Vasquez's work when I was way too young to do so. It's silly, it's creative, and the damn thing is simply oozing with brain-stimulating treats a-plenty.

Her Bark and Her Bite was witty, artistic, inspiring, and had some moments of equal satire and sadness. It was a very unprocessed story, and I'm very much inspired by the use of only shades of red, blue, and yellow. It's one of those books that I will recommend only to some people as it's certainly not for everyone. But for the people out there who are yearning for something sketchy, creative, and human, you've found yourself a winner in James Albon's beautiful solo work.

A quote from Irene, the boss lady: "It's more than just fighting crime and beating on bad guys though " we pledge to fight all forms of injustice: sexism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia,transphobia"we stand up for the little guys." Yes, yes, and more yes. This kind of story is what we need right now because let's be honest, the world is a toilet sandwich on a trash plate, and it's so damn invigorating to have this kind of story with these kind of powerful female characters.

Like I said above, I really had no idea what was going on, but I loved it. Sometimes less is more, and the ability to edit and take away only made this book better. It easily casts an eerie yet warm emotion over the reader, and all parties who worked on this book should be incredibly proud of themselves. In a phrase, we need more books like this.

Invader Zim #13 is silly, lighthearted, and ridiculous, which is exactly how the series and this character's story is supposed to be. It is entertaining and zany, and is a nice break from so many stories that are hellbent on being dark and serious. As someone who was dreading a series that was without its original creator behind it, I have been very happy and satisfied with what I've read. Jhonen does serve as "Control Brain", which is probably the best title I've ever read in a credits page of a comic book. It definitely shows, and I'm glad the series is continuing to be so great, with issue #13 as proof.

I always thought there must be a backstory of why Pizzazz is the way she is " mouthy, determined, and a little bit of a brat sometimes. Seeing a peek into her life and what she did to really make The Misfits a reality is a great introduction to this book, and the covers are a true representation of that. I would pick a favorite, but I can't. All of them are gorgeous, and this is a great introduction to what is most definitely going to be a fantabulous series.

I do firmly believe that Mother Panic will please a wide variety of readers, and this series is setting up to be such a grand and unique work of art all its own.

This is a Kickstarter-born project, and naturally I want every single backer reward there is, especially that MAW plush. But this book also includes extras and tidbits from the whole nine year journey of Johnny Wander and is available with a gorgeous Slipcase. I can't tell which way I want to display this: Harcover only showing or with the slippy. Though each contrast each other starkly, they both come together to make a beautiful presentation. In this case, you can definitely judge a book by its cover.

Pat McHale's imaginative creation takes on a different form in the comic book Over the Garden Wall Vol.2 #10, and this particular issue is vastly different than what the audience is used to seeing on television. It's all about Kitty, a cat that just doesn't do cat things to her parent's liking. Her cat mom and dad try their best to teach Kitty their ways, but she's just different than all their other children. Sounds like another Kittie I know.

There are so many emotions that surge through a person when they read or peer upon a piece of art like this. I strongly recommend Ravina the Witch? Only if you truly want to experience something that will lift you up by your toes and throw you into a place that will turn you on your head times ten

You know those people who still believe that comic books are for children and there is nothing to them but spandex and super powers? If you come across one such downer, hand them this sadly soon-to-be-complete story and blow their damn mind.

The covers on She Wolf are usually very simplistic, and Tomasso uses large blocked areas of red with contrasting white or black for each issue. When an artist goes simple with a piece, more times than not it comes out looking half-finished, but nothing is incomplete with Tomasso. Everything is exactly in its right place, and it's a treat for the reader every time. For those who enjoy the weird and wonderful, She Wolf is definitely a must for any collector and for those just wishing to find something fun and strange to pick their brains with.

I do also like that the entire team working on this book seems very cohesive, and sometimes it's just so obvious when a book is thrown together from sources that are not united. But an all female team working on a book about lady witches seems like a dream come true, and I'm very pleased to say it's working out amazingly in their favor.

Basically, I liked this book a lot more than I thought I would, but I'm quite the pessimistic optimist, or something like that. Point being, it was great and I needs me some mores.

The story is sweet and undoubtedly fun, the colors make me feel like I've just eaten a rainbow, and I'm really looking forward to reading more of this form of one of my favorite shows.

She is not for everybody, and Tank Girl has been around for a long time. But the fact that her loveable honey Booga and her other friends are in this book is pretty fantastic. The covers are also pretty rad, though I supremely dislike that one variant makes her look like a tired meth addict. Tank Girl is always getting into trouble and cons

In fact, you wouldn't think any time has passed between the previous issue and this one with the way Jonathan writes. It's such a signature style which writhes between poetic and blunt observation. He gives just enough away to keep the reader captivated without overloading them with story. As with all his works, each character is so well-rounded and distinctive, yet we still feel as if they're untouchable and behind a glass. Nothing is fully revealed, and maybe the story won't tie up without any loose ends that just beg to be tugged on. He is writer that creates discussion, and this series is one that begs to be talked about.

I recommend the hell out of this book, and it's definitely one of the best things I've read so far. It's engaging and the post-apocalyptic story is something out of a video game that needs to be made.

The Power of the Dark Crystal is truly a masterpiece, and stands proudly next to the original film that inspired so many great works of art today.

I desperately must see what happens in this series because with the present team working together and the premise, we're definitely going to have a winner on our paws.

Needless to say, I'm really excited to see Zodiak Starforce back in action and hope I fall in love with every single issue like I did this one.

Overall, I like this story and I do hope to read more of it. It's interesting and unique, and the world Damon has written for us is one I hope to be able to live in for a good while.

The trippy scenes of The Circle #2 are realistic while still being hazy, and we really get to see Alyzia's talent with color come into play. It's frightening but engaging, and when dealing with supernatural elements, it can be terribly easy to lose sight of the character's "real" world, but there is a really beautiful balance here. Panels are laid out clearly and cleverly, and I can't get enough of the way Alyzia illustrates the faces of these characters. Forlorn and quirky, she and Damon really merge together to create a two-person team that whips up a fantastic piece of art.

As the story progresses, it is clear that Sarah has written a truly silly and vivacious story that is sure to throw a smile upon many faces with its sheer quirkiness. Also, there are lots of kitties, and who can go wrong with kitties?

Traditionally, Strawberry Shortcake is seen as a "girl thing", but I think that's just utter ridiculousness. There should be no gender labeling on children's stories and characters, and this book is a superb example of a good message with fun characters, regardless of who is male versus female. I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, and though I cannot call myself a diehard SS fan, I'm glad I got such a big glimpse into a world that I knew close to nothing of, and it's just a reminder of how great comics can be for people of all ages and genders.

Powerpuff Girls has always been a somewhat light-hearted show, save for a few villains that just made us go Wtf. Remember "Him"? I still legit get nightmares about that thing, so meowin' creepy. But in this story, it is nothing but complete balance and cuteness that is everything Powerpuff.

It's dramatic and eerie, and not for the faint of heart but stays away from cheap tricks and overdone tropes. I'm looking forward to seeing the evolution of this story, and it's quite hard not to fall victim to the claws that pull you in when reading The Futures.

I didn't honestly know where this book was leading, and it seemed like it was just going to be a first issue that set up the characters and a bit of the setting without delving too much into the storyline. Surprisingly, Adrianne and Eric Palicki make good use of nice segways into each segment without feeling like it's being thrown at you. As the book goes on, things definitely start picking up, and little details are added in.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it made my shwifty little heart swell with toilet humor and silliness.

I did not think I would ever have a Betty Boop comic in my pull file, I'll be honest. But this first issue is so peculiar and strange that I genuinely do like it. I hate surprises, but good ones are acceptable. This is the part where I do the Betty catchphrase, but that would be too cliche, and I need to go get a refill on my pumpkin spice latte. *hair flip*

All in all, I'm looking forward to reading the next chapter in the series, and learning more about Astrid and the creatures she finds along her journey.

All in all, I love this story so much I want to hug it, but I'm strictly against comic book abuse! I can't wait to read the next issue and see where it takes me! Four out of five stars!

Basically, I came for Vampi and stayed for Vampi, everything else is just an afterthought when you have such a brilliant bloodsucker.

All in all, it was an okay read. Will I go out and buy the series? No. But I will check out more of Ramon's artwork.

To me, I believe the original Adam Warren creation of Empowered comes out on top when compared to Emp's adventures with Sistah Spooky. But the book does as it promises with quirky characters in a ridiculous setting battling hating bitches to the death, so take it and love it up.

Let's see, the good parts of this book. Well, the cover is nice. Not awful but not completely memorable, and not close to the level of issue #1. There are some interesting points in the story, though I wish it had been edited in a different direction. Is it going in my personal collection? No. But if I'm ever in acid rehab, I'll probably read the series.

So I'm significantly more impressed with this issue than the last, but it's still not enough for me to be excited about it. I'm wondering how many issues it will take for the story to finally bud, and for now it seems like we're seeing a lot of setting up of the story and characters. The cover is pretty interesting, and I love the pops of red to really set the hiding horror theme over the edge. Cover A is a lot more striking than the alternative cover, and I wish to see that kind of quality appearing in the main story soon.

This could of course just been "one of those issues" where it's piecing the story along, and is a bit confusing. But if a first time reader of Jem picked this book up, they'd have no idea what the hell was going on, or who the characters are supposed to be. One thing that stays consistently great are the different covers, which are all executed beautifully.

If this comic had just gone more the route of a "Strange Art Book", then it would have been so much better. I can't guarantee that it would have been good, but trying too hard to be weird and trying too little to be traditional did nothing but waste time and ruin paper. If anything, get it for the lovely cover and inside artwork because by issue number two, your potential has run out.

Overall, this whole thing was kind of bleh, and it's not something I would desire to read again. It could have really showcased some kick ass girl power, but here's hoping that Angel City #1 is just getting a bit of a late start, and can live up to its potential in issue #2.

The story is a bit hard to keep up with, and I wasn't sure where the rising and falling tension was supposed to go. I liked certain parts about Maya, but Patience seemed achingly drab and boring, which is completely opposite of what a Magdelena should be.

The main issue is: it just could have been so much better. Every aspect of the book is unfinished, and the parts that could have been good get overshadowed by shoddy work. I do dearly enjoy books that try to do something different, but this is a particular example of why things aren't done in this fashion: it's not good, Boo. I can't focus on the art because I'm distracted by the writing, and vice versa. But I do think it can be polished up and something great could come out of the heart because it does have potential. Unfortunately potential just doesn't cut it for poor Augusta.

It seems that my attempt at trying to get into this world failed, and if your children like this kind of thing, please direct them towards something that is less racist. Comic books can do a number of things " inspire, enthrall, motivate, etc, but none of those things should contain racism in a positive light.

I know a lot of artists and creators that would completely soil their underoos at a chance to work on something regarded as highly as the Aliens franchise, especially the comic book form of it. But it just seemed like everyone on this project didn't care, and I take it as disrespect. Do something justice, or don't do it at all.
