Boy 1 is dull, boring and above all trite. You've seen everything done here done better a dozen times before. It's the perfect example of mysteries and hooks done wrong, instead of enticing the reader they're just left confused and frustrated.

Packing a hefty amount of style and substance, King Tiger #1 is an exceptional reintroduction of a 90's Dark Horse character.

John Flood #1 opens strong then drags its heels for a bit until it ends even stronger than it began. That makes for an uneven read to be sure but not a bad one. The art is top notch and every page looks amazing, especially when we see the world through John's eyes. Theres enough compelling ideas here to blossom into something special.

The Shrinking Man #1 has potential but its not realized in this initial issue. Instead were given brief glimpses of a promising future. It may all come together and be great yet but as it currently stands its a hard recommendation.

Launching off from there the rest of the comic is absolutely stellar. The final confrontation proves to be bigger and bloodier than anything thats come before. It delivers an unconventional ending that thoroughly satisfies. Capping off a mini series no one ever saw coming in a way no one will see coming.

Enormous launches its second season with a grounded, simpler tone. No massive set pieces of monsters chasing our heroes through buildings tearing everything down in their path. Instead were treated to a more personal human conflict, demonstrating that even with grotesque monstrosities ripping everyone to shreds well still be killing each other. Issue #7 has started a captivating new arc for Enormous, giving us a tantalizing tease of whats to come.

Thats just a taste of the first few pages, later Godzilla faces off against something thatll remind people of that storm from Mad Max Road Fury, only with bodies instead of sand. Honestly its all fucking fantastic. Its like reading an amazing fanfiction you created in your head while playing with action figures when you were 8, if you were raised on equal parts catholicism and Godzilla films.

Clandestiny has certainly hit its stride, expect nothing but home runs from now until its inevitably beautiful ending.

Curt Pires has started his first ongoing with a bang, theres a literal mic drop at the end of the issue that feels well-earned. If youre looking for a light hearted good time, look elsewhere, but If youre looking for an alternative comic thatll engage and challenge you then Tomorrows is for you.

Lady Danger Agent of B.O.O.T.I. is fun in a serious way. It tackles modern issues that we are seeing more and more of but with light-hearted airs. Raising awareness and displaying real humanity in a way news broadcasters have been failing at spectacularly. A truly important book reflective of the world around us.

Invisible Republic #4 is the weakest issue yet but far from a failure. Characters and plot threads dont advance much this issue and advances that do happen couldve been done in significantly less pages. That being said the high quality visuals and dialogue, especially for Babb, elevate Invisible Republic above the norm.

The Predator is featured here more than issue #1 but not quite as much as last month's 2nd issue. He hangs back and stealthy spies on his victims for a bit, which would raise the tension if it wasnt for how cartoony it comes off. A Predator peering through the grate on an air vent overlooking Archie and the gang all the while dripping green goo looks just a hokey as it sounds. Additionally both of the Predators kills this issue are the same. The situations are different but he uses the exact same technique which is lame.

Space Riders #3 is all about epic set ups in anticipation of glorious payoffs next issue. As always the writing and art are on point making every moment memorable. Ill be deeply saddened by Space Riders conclusion next month but until then the wait will be agonizing.

Roche Limits second series continues to impress just as much as the original. The mysteries and intrigue grow leaps and bounds each issue, always leaving you salivating for more. Minor issues aside this book's presentation stellar in every regard.

Weirdworld is unabashedly spectacular in every conceivable way. The writing and art are in perfect synergy with each other crafting something wondrously weird. I can see this book being glossed over by many but if its given the chance it deserves itll shine brighter than anything else. Get the word out, push Weirdworld on everyone you know and make this book a hit!

While the Vulpess tricks are beginning to wear thin every other aspect of the story is strong enough that its easily overlookable. Tobin has the world and characters down pat now, this is an authentical witcher story through and through. If youve been enjoying The Witcher 3 Id highly recommend this series.

Intrigue is thick in Negative Space #1, the future of this book interests me greatly. It's out there, way out there, and it's not afraid to venture even further out.

Transference grabs you and involves you in its story. Engaging with you as you read, wrapping the characters as well as the reader up in the mystery and intrigue. A smart and engrossing new time traveling spy comic, Transference is like a tall cool glass of water. Refreshing in all the right ways, it'll quench your thirst.

Marking a significant improvement over issue #1 Archie vs. Predator #2 is all fun all the time. Im giddy just imagining wholl be decapitated next issue, its a good sign that this book has its claws in me.

Lantern City is an easy recommendation for steampunk fans, but a bit harder sell for everyone else.

Space Riders is a special beast, nothing else compares to its brand of fun. It's a visually impressive acid trip into a live wire space universe populated by incredibly developed characters. It's something that has been missing from comics. It's the 80's Saturday morning cartoon but pumped full of hallucinogenic awesomeness. It's pure gospel with 25 of the best pages you'll read in your life. Really, the greatest tragedy of all is that now its half over, but that last half of the ice cream bucket is always the best anyway.

Nailbiter is consistently amazing and this month proves no exception.

Grandiose perfectly encapsulated the feel of Ghost Fleet #7; grand in an impressive way. I could see people calling it mindless, but its not, all of these revelations have been set up. Look back to the first couple issues and youll find all kinds of hints and tips of what was coming. Id say that Id be sad to see this series go but its hard to be sad when youre having this much fun. This penultimate chapter has all the dials kicked up to 11 so I cannot even begin to fathom what the finale will be like, aside from radical.

Blood Lagoon Part 2 is a Grindhouse book through and through. All of part 1s borderline tedious build up pays off in spades, resulting in one of the most uplifting and fun Grindhouse tale to date. Seeing Deputy Garcia on the page again is an absolute treat, that offers a tantalizing taste of grindhouse sequels. Let's hope De Campi has even more up her sleeve as the series continues.

Archie Vs. Predator is an Archie book first and Predator book second. The majority of this first issue deals with generic Archie escapades with only the slightest touch of Predator. Hopefully this is just to set the tone and future issues will dive head first into carnage.

Bill & Teds Most Triumphant Return is still a bit clunky but its now pointed in a much more promising direction.

It's a framing device you've probably seen before but where Clandestiny shines are in its many nuances and mysteries. Sasha is already incredibly complex, with so many unknowns floating around her it's hard to even get a bead on her true motivations. She's an exciting enigma and a worthy successor to Ford. (star of the last series) Clandestiny stands tall, meeting the high bar set by Roche Limit and possibly even raising it a few more notches. Do not miss this dynamite comic on May 6th.

This small annoyance aside the book does pick up tremendously from here to the end of the issue. It becomes a real page turner as events develop and conflicts arise. Going in I didnt think this book would be anything to write home about but in fact its the opposite. You could almost recommend this book to anyone and theyd have a good time, increasingly more so for those already familiar with the world. If only it had a brief intro to bring new comers up to speed on the bare essentials, then thered be no reason not to recommend it.

While it is super rad to see Deputy Garcia on the page again its ultimately a disappointment. I could definitely see Blood Lagoon improving in part 2 but as it currently stands I cannot recommend it. Id still recommend Grindhouse itself, outside of this one issue its all been fabulous. Even if Blood Lagoon turns out to be a dud itll be followed with an entirely new 2-part story that Ill be wholeheartedly looking forward to, whatever it may be.

Spread is an exemplary horror comic and by far the number one body horror comic currently on the stands. Every page is a joy to behold for both the sublime art and the superb story. The trade collecting all 6 issues of the first arc is due out next month, I highly recommend any and all horror fans to buy it and spread it around.

Lemire and Nguyen have crafted an story that oozes style and originality. With a plot on the grandest of scales and refreshingly unexpected visuals Descender is sure to excite anyone who reads it.

Ghost Fleet continues to be of the utmost quality, its a crime that it doesnt have a bigger fan base. Ive said it before and Ill say it again, dont judge this book before youve read it. Its not a hoorah for beerguts, its an excellent action-thriller-mystery that a lot of comic fans would enjoy if they read it.

Michael Moreci and Vic Malhotra have out done themselves yet again. This is a series that demands and deserves to be read by any and all Sci-Fi, comic and storytelling fans. Truly and genuinely, Roche Limit #5 is a phenomenal work of art.

People may have ragged on Latour for his run on Wolverine and The X-Men but if you gave any of them Spider-Gwen #1 theyd think twice about his writing abilities. He totally nails here creating a character who we can identify as being apart of the spider family but one whos absolutely unique and endearing in her own ways. Spider-Gwen is something special and I hope to see it on the stands for years to come.

Visually Plunder is a bit inconsistent at time but nothing earth shattering. The awesome moments definitely outshine the discrepancies overall. The major visual issue I had was that both of the pirates with glasses also both have yellow scarfs and short sleeved

He gives them a brief and foreboding introduction to Prospero, showing off a few key sights before unveiling the magnificent Porticullis Hypnos of Professor Harold Rathborn. A magical machine that acts as an entrance to dreams! Thats really quite amazing and will be very key to future events b

Abnett and Culbard have overall created a delightful tale of Peter Rabbit meets War of The Worlds. It may have faltered in this final issue, but as a whole it's a strong, original piece of work that I still wholeheartedly recommend.

The issue does pick up a bit after this and the ending is totally rad, but not good enough to save the issue. It's a rare misstep from Williamson but one I'm sure he'll bounce back from going forward. Nailbiter fans will still find some nuggets of fun here but this is will definitely be remembered as a black sheep.

Donny Cates and Daniel Warren Johnson have truly hit their stride now, this is the best Ghost Fleet issue yet and I'm craving that next issue more than my many chemical dependencies.

Williamson and Mooneyham hit it out of the park and into the stratosphere, creating a glorious ending to THE BEST Predator story ever. I whole heartedly mean that, no other Predator comic even comes close, trust me Ive read them all. Id also count it leagues above Predator 2 and Predators. You could argue the original film is bet

Fabian Rangel Jr, Alexis Ziritt and Ryan Ferrier have created an instant classic and establish the foundations of a masterpiece. This is the sublime and beautiful story that you'd only get in a comic. A magnificent space epic is beginning; make sure you get in on the ground floor this March.

Longtime fans of X-Files and Millennium will thoroughly enjoy Millennium #1 with its call backs and nuances while theres just enough exposition to keep those relatively new to the series from feeling left out. Obviously if you know nothing of The X-Files this comic is not for you and will leave you puzzled beyond belief, but if youve got even basic knowledge of it youll feel right at home.

Wasting absolutely no time Wilds End #5 picks up immediately after issue #4s cliffhanger ending. Mr. Slipaway rushes back to the bar which is now engulfed in flames, in an attempt to save Mr. Blatchley and Alph. Mr. Blatchley, as we all know was incinerated last issue but little Alph manages to make it out. Although with horribly burned hands from trying, in vain, to save Mr. Blatchley. Its almost heart breaking to see this little guy go thro

Star Wars has returned to Marvel in a very huge way.

The structure of this issue is not necessarily a bad thing. You cant do high intensity action all the time or it becomes the norm and that ruins the narrative it becomes about punching. Its all about peaks and valleys, weve been straddling that peak for two issues now. A change of pace helps give us and Ahab/Galgo a much deserved breather, so when Predator comes back hard for its finale it

"Nailbiter" is the pinnacle of horror in comics right now, it's also a tense thriller, an emotional drama and it's got a wicked sense of humor. The complete package any way you look at it, even under a tree this holiday season.

"Ghost Fleet" is back for round two and its a knockout. Issue #1 intrigued me, a comic about big trucks goin fast and smashing shit on the surface but with the glimmers of something deeper. That something deeper is what issue #2 opens with and now its got me hook line and sinker. The mysteries are boundless and my questions are counting up to immeasurable levels. However, thisnever feels cheap or lazy, its a deep seeded mystery that becomes exponentially more exciting with every teenie-tiny tidbit and kernel of information.

Roche Limit opens similarly to the previous issues with a monologue by an incredibly insightful man. Who this i

The worst offender of this is the time period. Toe Tag Riot is set in 2004 and I cannot find anything that suggests this choice is anything but arbitrary. There are numerous references that make no sense if the book is really

Teen Titans Earth One Vol 1 is a damn fine read that anyone can jump right into and have a blast. Long time fans will also find a lot to enjoy here too, seeing how classic characters have been fundamentally changed up while still retaining the essence of their character. It also ends on a huge cliffhanger that has me desperately clamoring for more. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Ghost Fleet presents itself a lot like an 80's action movie but reading it with that mindset would only be scratching it's surface. Beneath the shine of an 80"s action flick is a heavy conspiracy, engaging characters, hilarious dialogue and that will have you clamouring for more.

In a lot of ways Roche Limit #2 is even better than #1, our cast of characters has been significantly broadened and details of the bigger story are coming into focus. It's a testament to Moreci that each and every single one are enthralling in their own way. They all feel like genuine people too, who have real personalities and not stereotypes. Roche Limit is blowing up right now, make sure you don't get left behind.

The protagonists here are smart and crafty, they know theres something onboard with them and theyre going to find it. Our hero Galgo is one slippery, slimy, greasy son of a bitch. Hes beyond cocky and looks out for himself above all else. Youd never want to be his friend (or even in his proximity) but hes insanely fun to read. Its an absolute joy to watch him work people, pushing the right buttons and conning others into early graves. Hes an incredibly strong protagonist in his own right, he could carry a story sans-predator — eas

We open on the significantly stronger plot of this months issue, Zeke nighttime adventure. Last month Zeke and his new friend Annie went out to find Annies dog but night quickly descended upon them. The wilderness surrounding Copperhead is a very, very bad place after dark. Lucky for Zeke and Annie theyve got Ishmael, a strange and mysterious individual whos shifty for sure but also the

With only one issue left Dark Ages is on track to be THE comic miniseries to read this year. This penultimate issue has gone above and beyond, impressing me more than I thought possible. Beginning with a thunderous boom and only becoming better with each passing issue I cannot fathom what the finale has in store for us. Be prepared to be launched off your feet and into the stratosphere next month.

“Roche Limit” is an astounding introduction to a rich and intricate world. Its not perfect, but its got heart. The only real stumble is with the characterization of Sonya, who as of this first issue I couldnt care less about. Especially when compared to Alex Ford she might as well have been a cardboard cutout. I can only hope shes fleshed out in the coming issues. Roche Limit has got all of its building blocks spread out on the table now, I have nothing but the utmost confidence that Michael Moreci will build greatness.
