Arkham Horror (2024): The Terror at the End of Time #1

Aug 7, 2024

For a first issue, this book gives you enough to know whats going on but holds enough back to keep you wanting more. Its as strong of a #1 issue as one can have, and I look forward to future issues as this story goes forward. When the only negative that I can think of is that future issues have big shoes to fill, thats a good problem to have.

Arkham Horror (2024): The Terror at the End of Time #2

Sep 4, 2024

Overall, Arkham Horror: The Terror at the End of Time #2 is a solid continuation of the story. It doesn't give you too much to digest, well still moving the story forward and adding new wrinkles.

Babs (2024) #1

Aug 14, 2024

Babs is like if The Legend of Vox Machina had a love child with Big Mouth. This book will make you laugh. But also makes you care about Babs and leaves enough mystery to hook you. This is going to be a slam dunk addition to my pull list.

Cruel Universe (2024) #1

Aug 7, 2024

This book from story one through story four holds the reader's interest. The concept of stories that all end with a "wicked twist is also super cool. Each story has art that is unique to that story, helping to separate each story. Overall, I really enjoyed this book, and will be making sure issue #2 is on my pull list.

Cruel Universe (2024) #2

Sep 4, 2024

Cruel Universe #2 packs a real punch. Four different tales tied together by great monkey paw style twists. This is becoming one of my absolute favorite books and we are only on issue #2. The classic feel of the storytelling, mixed with the nostalgic art style makes Cruel Universe a must for your Pull Lists at your LCS!

Dark & Twisted (2024): The Killing Hole #1

Jul 26, 2024

The Killing Hole is a slow burn tale that when you get to the end it throws you a curve ball. The character development is amazing and by the end you feel for the main characters that youve grown to know. Steve Niles does an awesome job creating the entire world you get immersed in.

Destro (2024) #3

Aug 21, 2024

Destro #3 was an awesome read and as one question gets answered another presents itself. Destro is becoming one of the best parts of an already robust Energon Universe. This book gets high recommendations, and the best is still to come.

Geiger (2024) #6

Sep 11, 2024

Geiger #6 is a unique story. Geoff Johns takes us on a side mission with Barney and it pays off. The fact that most of this story is without dialogue, and still draws you in, shows how good of a tale it is.

Godzilla: Skate or Die! (2024) #3

Sep 4, 2024

Godzilla: Skate or Die! #3 is a fun read. Its a book that doesnt appear to take itself too seriously. There is a good amount of story built throughout and it seems like there is a definitive direction for the arc.

Hello Darkness (2024) #1

Jul 24, 2024

Hello Darkness #1 is an awesome first issue, filled with great stories. Anthology books can be complicated to put together because of all the variables. However, BOOM! hit a homerun with Hello Darkness. The book is laid out perfectly. It takes you on a ride and leaves you wanting more. The mixture of the short "grindhouse type stories that start and wrap up right now, with the 2 main stories that will keep you coming back for issues to come, is spectacular. The art is amazing and different in every story. The writing explores all types of horror and never feels repetitive. I can't wait for issue 2 and beyond!

Hello Darkness (2024) #2

Aug 28, 2024

Hello Darkness #2 built on the great start that issue one set up. Each story was different and gave you a different horror style. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite books to read every month.

Killadelphia #35

Aug 28, 2024

Killadelphia #35 is not your average horror book. It has layers and tells a very human tale. Rodney Barnes really makes you care for the characters in this book. You feel like they are people who would live in your neighborhood. He even brings humanity to Blacula and makes the reader understand the complex truth of his story.

Midnight Sons: Blood Hunt (2024) #3

Jul 31, 2024

Putting a book end on this review, I can honestly say although I had some problems with this issue, I don't regret giving it a read. The art and the Blade storyline were worth the read. Plus, it made me excited to see what the launch of Blade #1 will be.

Sir (2024) #1

Aug 14, 2024

I did not know what to expect when S.I.R #1 was sent to me to review. From the first page I found that I was intrigued by the story and attracted to the art. Solid first book that makes me want to follow this story to its conclusion. If you like the anime style, this book should be added to your pull list too.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Black, White & Green (2024) #3

Jul 31, 2024

It was a ton of fun going back into the world of TMNT. As a child I was a huge fan of the original cartoon series. I also played all the games, had the action figures, and when I was a little older dove into the comic series. So, you could say this was a good way to remind me of my fandom.

The Deviant (2023) #7

Aug 7, 2024

This book blew me away. When I got offered this book to review, I didnt know what to expect. As a new comic book reviewer, Ive been on a journey of new books to read and explore. This book makes me want to dive further into an uncharted area and Ill be chomping at the bit to finish out this arc over the next couple of issues.

The God List - The Power of The Word #1

Jul 17, 2024

This book kept my interest throughout its 122-page story. It has a little bit of everything, some mystery, some puzzles, some horror, and twists galore. To say this book keeps you guessing is an understatement. Being a graphic novel has its pros & cons.

The Infernals (2024) #5

Sep 4, 2024

The Infernals #5 was an awesome finale to a great arc. Noah Gardner & Ryan Parrott wrote a terrific story that from start to finish was amazing. The drama, action, and heart of this story was shown all the way through the series and especially here in the finale. In a world where most stories dont stick the landing, The Infernals does.

The Pedestrian (2024) #2

Sep 11, 2024

The Pedestrian #2 is a great world builder and draws the reader into the lives of the characters in the book. A lot of times slower issues of books that build worlds arent as memorable or sexy. However, this issue makes you care, and you want to see where the story and more importantly these characters will go from here.

Ultraman X Avengers (2024) #1

Aug 14, 2024

Ultraman X Avengers #1 got me invested in where this story will go. There may have not been a big mic drop moment, but it wasnt needed. This issue is a clean cut set the table first issue. There is no way anyone shouldnt pick this up and make sure this series is on your pull list at your LCS.
