All the characters that we meet in this issue are fascinating and the artwork mirrors so much of the slasher-gore for the overall vibe. We dont know much of the backstories (which adds to the mystery of things) but it has opened up the opportunity for so many pathways, that I am excited for. Ms. Zel, as a character, is so engrossing, to the point where I felt sorry for her and forgot that I was reading a slasher comic. I am also eager to know more about our mystery detective and his dark past that links him to our group of misfits. In all, a great start to the series!

I think it is great that after three decades, Black Beth is back in print and revamped to suit a better audience. I would have to say, the last issue in this collection is my favorite as I really enjoyed the illustration, colors, and storyline, but I also appreciate the origin story too. Alec Worley has done a great job to bring the character back to life. The stories are simple and easy to read, and the artwork is beautiful and creative. My only recommendation would be to add more 'meat' to the characters by expanding their backstories.

This was a good start to what I can imagine is going to be a great (and enjoyable) series to read. I have so many questions about Jessica Harrow, which probably wont be answered in the next issue, but I am still excited to see what happens next!

Mando or bust? Amazon has it!Hands down, one of the best comics I have read in a long time! I enjoyed it so much that I read it twice and enjoyed it even more the second time. Whether you are a Loki fan or not, trust me, this is one comic that you will NOT want to miss!

Although it comes across as a simple mystery story (so far), there is a lot of room for growth. The cliffhanger ending was interesting, and it provided a glimpse into the supernatural elements promised. Hopefully the next issue dives deeper into who the characters are.

No.1 With A Bullet is unsettling, realistic, and so intriguing that I cannot get enough of it!

The concept of a good story is there but unfortunately it isnt translating well. Hopefully the next issue will iron out some of the kinks because I look forward to reading more about Vinegar Teeth.

I am not too sure how this series will unfold but I am excited for where it has started. It is a very strange story that definitely captures the mix of odd humour and horror and I cant wait to see what Vinegar Teeth has in store for us.

Made Men #5 may have been the slowest issue of the series so far but the new side plots and the twist at the end still has me wanting to know more. I am a big fan of Juttes and Hadrys strong personalities mixed in with Leos craziness, but I hope issue #6 will finally flesh out the rest of the team members too.

No.1 With a Bullet has made its way into my list of top ten favourite comic book series. It is very addictive, touches on real-life situations that will make you want to edit the privacy controls on your social media, and is definitely not one you want to miss out on!

The cliff-hanger at the end will leave you hanging for more! This series is turning out to become a story that perfectly blends a mix of horror, crime, mystery, with a little bit of Frankenstein.

I am starting to become a No.1 Fan of this series, especially after reading this issue. It is fun, engaging, and shows you glimpses into the world of cyber bullying and privacy limitations. It is definitely not one to miss so make sure you get your hands on a copy today!

I enjoyed how this issue touched on elements that are relatable to a lot of current modern day situations. Not sure which direction the series will head in as the main focus was on the development of Nash's character (with a side of dead stalker) but I can't wait to get my hands on issue #2!

I am really enjoying the story but as I mentioned before, I am not sure which direction Tobin will take it. Will it head down the Frankenstein route, be about undead mercenaries for hire, or all about revenge? Either way, I look forward to the next issue.

I enjoyed the Frankenstein twist, Juttes secretive character, and how the cliffhanger at the end explains the main title of the story. Hopefully the next issue fills in the missing story gaps because overall it has been a great start to the series and I look forward to reading more!

A perfect blend of all sorts of horrifying short stories underneath one terrifying cover!

This issue presents fast moving zombie action and definitely features Z Nations signature blend of horror, humour, and heart. And with only two issues left to conclude this miniseries, I have no idea how it is going to end, but I am looking forward to finding out.

It is half way through the miniseries and I feel it is time to make the reader understand why they should be invested in the main characters. I love the action, the zombies, the enemies, but I feel there are a few elements missing (including the tug on the heart strings) that are needed to push this series to the next level.

The final issue provides a fitting finale to a miniseries which was enjoyable throughout. A strong story and well written twists support Detective Carusos character development which is the highlight of this series. The artwork is a hero throughout and helps draw you into this murky world into which Caruso tries to shine a ray of light.

More character development will turn this six part mini series into a really interesting story. With great art and good writing twists and turns, this issue will keep you engaged. It neatly pays more attention to the bad guys (which are great) rather than the zombies, so that the zombie theme isnt overdone.

I am a fan of Throwaways #7 as it hasn't been as predictable as the previous issues. The twist at the end defiantly raised my eyebrow and I am keen to find out what happens next!

View Issue       View Full Review

I am excited about this series and I cant wait to find out what happens in the next issue. If you are a fan of all things zombie related then I would definitely suggest picking this up. Because of the way the story is composed, it is just as applicable to fans or those new to the Syfy TV series in which the story is set.

This has been a great issue to build up to the finale. It is a shame that is it only a miniseries but what it has delivered so far has been intense, full of head scratching and suspense and with only one issue left to go I am very keen to see how the story will wrap up.

I feel like the series has hit a hump with this issue and I hope that the next one will push it over. Overall it is a little underwhelming with a predictable ending but I would still say that it is worth a read as you find out a bit more about the ULTRA Program and Alices connection to Deans father.

I mentioned before that Violent Love is on my list of favourite comics, and this issue hasnt let me down. I am enjoying the injection of new characters and story development and cant wait to see where it will take us.

This issue isnt on my list of favourites for the series but the overall storyline is interesting and I especially want to know more about the sinister plans that Dr. Ostrander has in mind for this group of throwaways.

This series as grown on me and I am really looking forward to finding out what happens next and how Detective Caruso is going to handle the death of someone she knows. Will it make her stronger? Will it make her weaker? Only time (and the next issue) will tell!

Spell on Wheels #4 may be the most supernaturally influenced issue of the series but doesnt distract away from the fun and quirky plotline. Available on January the 25th, it is a cute and enjoyable issue that finally gives us more answers that we (and the witches) have been waiting for!

It is a good start to the five part mini-series that has a lot to do with girl power. I am interested to see how the story will develop and where their road tripping adventures will take them. I would recommend picking up a copy because it is fun, light hearted and easy to read.So why not give it a go?

I am both sad and happy that the series has wrapped up. Happy because it was enjoyable and fun to read, and sad because it is over (and I wanted more of the sarcastic pet cat). If you have been a fan of the previous issues then this one wont let you down, it is a great finale to the series. So go out and pick up your copy today!

This is a series that aims to push your imagination. Just when you think you have one question answered another one pops up to take its place. It is turning into a great series that doesnt initially give too much away but at the same time gives you plenty to take in especially with a big twist and the end that I didnt see coming and neither will you if you do not grab yourself a copy of Cryptocracy #4! Out now!

I would buy each issue just for the few panels showcasing Greenes sarcastic pet cat who is definitely a small but lovablestandout character for me. In saying that, this fourth instalment of the mini-series is exciting to read as you discover more about who Greene is and why he is trying to save his people as a human detective! Its dark, its weird, its great!

Espionage (more like house snooping and google searches), murder, monsters, a sarcastic pet cat (still my favourite) and an explosion of fireworks, this issue has it all and is the stand out for me in this series so far. So hurry up and find all of that loose pocket change because this is one issue you dont want to miss out on!

I am really enjoying the story development and direction so far. Although the first issue was still the stand out for me, I would say grab yourself a copy of Cryptocracy #3because after seeing the cliffhanger, I can't wait to find out whatwill happen next!

OMalley and Hung are a great collaborative team that has produced something unexpected and different. Snotgirl will have no issues being a stand out from other comics and I am very keen to know how the story develops in the next issue. It definitely has my attention.

The first issue for me was the star of this series but that is not to say that this issue is bad. I enjoyed it and can't wait to know what happens next. I would recommend getting your hands on a copy. There is a great story unfolding here and I for one need to know what happens next!

Issue #2 may not have had the same level of excitement as issue #1 but there is a great storyline here with so much more yet to be explored and developed. With only three issues left to this five-part miniseries, I am interested to see where it goes and would recommend picking up a copy for yourself to read.

This story has a unique take on your traditional sci-fi and government conspiracy stories. Although a little heavy with the information in the beginning it was not overwhelming. I enjoyed all the twists, loveable characters and fantastic artwork. It made every page fun and exciting to read. Van Jensen and Pete Woods have a winner on their hands here with a great start to the series.

This issue is a great start to the series. Even though I found the pace a bit slow to begin with it was definitely an enjoyable read. I cant wait to get my hands on the next issue so I can find out more about Greenes senses and who or what is behind these bizarre crimes.
