Abigail and the Snowman #1
Jan 2, 2015 |
Colorful, warm natured and funny characters make Abigail and the Snowman #1 a worthwhile read. While unique, the story's plot has a fun Lilo and Stitch meets Men in Black feel to it. The artwork gives a combination of soft lines and beautiful colors, adding to the story's playful nature. Abigail and the Snowman #1 is available for pre-order here. This issue is the first in a four-part series. |

Abigail and the Snowman #2
Jan 29, 2015 |
Overall, I found this to be a fun followup to Abigail and the Snowman #1. We see that Abigail is resourceful, and that while Claude is a gentle giant, he isn't afraid to stand up to the bad guys. The final panels of this issue give us a wonderful sense of curiosity and help promote the idea that perhaps Claude is not the only mythical creature wandering around. |

Twisted Dark #4
Dec 30, 2015 |
This series may not be light hearted, yet it does not paint a negative view of the world. Twisted Dark, Volume 4 allows us to see disturbing subjects in an expressive and carefully balanced light. Ethics and personal choices are always met with realistic outcomes. Despite knowing that sometimes bad things just happen, this volume of Twisted Dark reminds us that understanding (and responding) to why people walk down the wrong path will help us prevent others from making the same mistakes. Instead of providing a hero, Twisted Dark Volume 4 suggests that the reader's understanding may be enough to make the world change for the better. |

Lady Killer 2 #1

While there are a few loose ends to tie up, this issue holds nothing back. Despite being a bit foreign for newcomers, Ladykiller 2 appears to be a series worth following. |

Help Us! Great Warrior #1
Feb 13, 2015 |
While I wasn't previously aware of Flores' web comic prior to reading this issue, I'm itching to learn more about these characters. Help Us! Great Warrior #1 ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'm excited to see where the Great Warrior goes next. This is a great read for anyone who wants a fast paced, cheeky cast of characters with plenty of attitude and humor to go around. |

Midnight Society: The Black Lake #1
Jun 12, 2015 |
The story ends a bit abruptly. It would have been nice to see another scene with Dr. Kaycee or even Major Finn, though I suppose those will be exposed in the next issue. While some of the panel layouts and onomatopoeia presentation can be distracting, the overall artwork, colors and story are entertaining. For an initial issue,Midnight Society and the Black Lake #1was entertaining and interesting enough to pick up the next installment in the series. |

The Witcher: Fox Children #2
May 11, 2015 |
Faster paced and more in depth than the first issue, this continuation in the five part Witcher series was a fun read. Seeing the Vulpess and learning more about her own abilities along with learning that Geralt has some things up his sleeve kept the pages turning quickly. Janessa and other characters have enough mystery behind them to keep me interested in continuing the story in the next issue. It's easy to see where the comics are a springboard from the popular Witcher video games. The third Witcher game, titled Witcher III: Wild Hunt will be released on May 19th, 2015. |

Swords of Sorrow: Dejah Thoris & Irene Adler #1
Jun 19, 2015 |
While the blend of historical eras, fantasy worlds, famous fictional character and memorable new characters was entertaining, this story was a bit lacking for me. I felt the pacing could have been better, though perhaps later issues will give more explanation for the link between these two separate worlds. |

Critter (2015) #1

While I enjoy the overall idea of Critter and the time-space continuum ideas presented in this issue, I'm not confident enough in Cassia's representation to suggest that this is worth picking up the second issue. |

Dark Corridor #1
Aug 7, 2015 |
While the artistic style is not my favorite, I did enjoy the lettering choices and placement. The story flowed well without feeling disjointed or interrupted by dialogue. Despite my history of enjoying Italian mob films, I'm hesitant to suggest picking up the next copy of this potential series, though there is potential for a wealth of character development and plot advancements. While I enjoy continuing story lines and multiple points of view, this initial issue didn't wow me. While there's always the potential for this to develop into a dense, scrawling series likeTwisted Darkthat gives you plenty to chew on, I'm not hopeful at this point. |
