You have to give Fabian Rangel Jr. and Javier Caba credit for being original. I doubt you will find another book out there today quite like Blood Brothers. Cabas art is a big standout. He uses the basic panel grid but his coloring and cartooning are especially strong. That may be the best reason to continue with this series. Outside of some of his opening issue jitters, the heart of this book is strong. Dynamite is quietly building a lot of original creator own books this past year.

Although this issue was disappointing, under-delivering on a very promising start, as a whole this was an entertaining series. I suspect we'll be seeing more of Olissipo City in the future, and I'm more than happy to return.

Minky Woodcock: The Girl Who Handcuffed Houdini certainly deserves a look from people who like their comics a little bit different, and a bit more grown up. It's a good read.

It's clear that Abnett has a passion for the source material, and when paired with Mandrake's EC-like artwork it makes for a superb first entry into what I'm hoping will be another must-buy from Titan/Hammer Comics. Here's very much looking forward to the next issue!

As Simon Cowell would say ‘I liked it, but I didn't love it'

When X-Men: Red was announced it seemed like an afterthought. An odd name for random group of characters that do not automatically go together. If this is any indication this could end up being the best series of the current X-Men line. For the first time in a while the future is bright for the children of the atom.

Much like when I used to go to the video shop and rent tapes based solely off their cover, sometimes taking a chance on something pays off and Cult of Dracula #1 is proof of that. In this book I think I've found a hidden gem and, ultimately, a favourite for life.

As I said, this feels like the start of what could be a longrunning new title, however whether Marvel Zombie SHOULD become an on-going book is up for debate – what is captured in this one shot, in these 32 pages, is perfection and I worry that Prince and co. could never improve on this; and honestly there's no need to… even though I'd really love to see more adventures of Simon Garth.

An ideal jumping on point for fans of Supergirl new and old, Supergirl: Being Super does the concept of “teen superhero” more justice than Smallville ever did on TV and I'm excited to see more of this Supergirl's adventures in the future.
