Monstress #6
May 24, 2016 |
Monstress #6 does what very few comics can by building a world where adorable, innocent creatures exist with horrific monsters that ravage and murder. It's staggeringly beautiful art is matched by its well crafted story. It is a breath of fresh, if not menacing, air. The first arc of Monstress is an absolute must read for anyone interested in a complex, diverse story filled with bold characters. |

Saga #37
Sep 5, 2016 |
Saga took a risk by leaping forward in time, but these past few issues have shown that both Vaughan and Staples are more than capable of handling the task by introducing new character designs, character developments, and exciting storylines to come. While Sage #37 spends its time catching readers up with its cast, it is by no means boring or uneventful and proves that quiet, smaller moments are a vital part of a meaningful journey. |

Over The Garden Wall #2
May 24, 2016 |
Much of the charm of the Over The Garden Wall animated series comes from this mixture of light heartedness and maturity, and while the comic series has yet to get dark, the charm still remains all the same. |

Paper Girls #7
Jul 7, 2016 |
Paper Girls #7 leaves us with some surprises and even more questions than we started with. As current characters are separated and new characters are introduced, the stakes continue to rise. The best stories leave you wanting more and Paper Girls does just that. |

Snotgirl #1
Jul 20, 2016 |
Much of Snotgirl #1 comes off as vapid, and it would be very easy to mistake the series for being just that if it weren't for the creative mind of O'Malley. The story and the art border on embracing and criticizing youth and its uglier sides and is all the more interesting for it. Layers are slowly being peeled away and it's only a matter of time before we truly discover who Snotgirl is. |

Snotgirl #2
Aug 25, 2016 |
Snotgirl #2 commits one of the worst crimes in storytelling. It's boring. It's too soon to say whether or not O'Malley and Hung have plans for a story that reveals compelling commentary and depth, but I can't imagine what else would be in store. It may be best to wait for the trade paperback of Snotgirl than to read issue by issue if this is what it has in store. |
