Adler #1
Feb 1, 2020 |
At its finest, Adler is a delightful, progressive penny dreadful that reminds readers of its Victorian inspirations. Yet, the unbalanced narrative and facial monotony may make you wish youd read Sherlock Holmes, Carmilla,or The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen instead. Hopefully, Adler will come into its own with time. For now, Adlers biggest mystery is what anyone should expect from it. |

Ant-Man (2020) #5
Jun 18, 2020 |
Ant-Man #5 is a larger-than-life finish to a playful and striking miniseries. Not as comedic as its first issue, or emotionally hefty as its fourth (R.I.P. Pam), its nonetheless a satisfying, fast-paced page-turner. |

Big Girls #1
Aug 17, 2020 |
In Big Girls #1, 300-foot-tall Ember fights against the patriarchy-as-kaiju. Yet, Howards bioessentialist metaphor is battling itself, as is his striking yet simultaneously underwhelming art. One can only hope Big Girls comes into its own with time. |

Crowded #11
Feb 7, 2020 |
In its eleventh issue, Crowded continues to be a masterclass in space. Never has a silo felt so small. With less running to do, Crowded becomes somehow even more claustrophobic and even more character-driven. Everything gets worse but the story only gets better. |

Dec 25, 2020 |
Its A Horrible Life! is a darkly comical take on a Christmas classic. All of its jokes dont land, but its fun while it lasts: great if you want more Harley Quinn and less seasonal schmaltz. |

Die #15
Nov 19, 2020 |
Die #15 isn't only vibrant and violent but vital. Cathartic. Die begs us to run away, yet forces us to rethink our very act escapism and to confront the confinement and mortality we'd hoped to leave behind. |

King of Nowhere #5

King of Nowhere #5 finishes this series as it began: hard to put down due to a constant hope that it might improve. Yet, lovable characters and the books off-kilter artistic brilliance remain undercut by its unbalanced story and uninteresting protagonist. |

Ludocrats #1
Apr 29, 2020 |
So what is The Ludocrats? A gratuitously violent, artistically inspired, fourth-wall-obliterating, steampunk/fantasy Saturday-morning-cartoon-meets-Asterix for people who love profanity. Is it ludicrous? Most definitely. Is it funny? Thats subjective. |

Tartarus #6 is a compelling start to the books second arc. Though bordering on clich, the narrative is still well-paced and thought-provoking. Tartarus loses something without Jack T. Cole, but the dynamic and vibrant art from the new artistic team is nonetheless a delight. Tartarus #6 is a compelling start to the books second arc.
