Bounce #2 |
Jun 26, 2013 |
Joe Casey does a fantastic job of portraying the stoner turned anti-hero, who wants to beat up bad guys and score the latest cheapest high. The character dialogue feels fresh and flows naturally. David Messina's artwork provides even more depth to the characters with impressive line work, which is complimented by Giovanna Niro's colours. |

East of West #3 |
Jun 5, 2013 |
Hickman's work is always mind-bending and always requires a second read for myself. That's not a fault, but shows more how bold, crazy and challenging his stories tend to be. Nick Dragotta's artwork and Frank Martin's colour work is astounding in this series. I couldn't picture the detail in which Dragotta has gone into this work done by anyone else. Martin's colours bring the right kind of mood to each page and flesh out characters and scenes to their full extent. |

Dragotta's art styling continues to amaze, with each panel having so much detail that you could spend hours looking at the pages. The battle scenes are made even more gorgeous by Martin's amazing colour palette, while Wooton's letters seem to leave you hanging on every breath of the characters. |

Lazarus #1 |
Jun 26, 2013 |
Michael Lark's art style helps convey the darkness of this dystopian future tale, with fantastic line work and attention to detail. Santi Arcas colour pallet through the issue helps Lark's art pop even more. |

Mudman #6 |
Feb 5, 2013 |
Mudman is a traditional style superhero comic, but created with more of an independent feel to it. It's well worth time and money. Make sure you grab this issue and first trade if you haven't read issues 1 - 5 |

Nowhere Men #5 |
May 21, 2013 |
Stephenson has written a fictional world that I could believe was real in this day and age, with Bellegarde and Bellaire breathing air into work and making it even more real. If I could compare it to anything, I would say its a modern day Watchmen. |

If you haven't been reading this series I highly recommend you pick up the first trade (collecting issues 1 " 5) and catch up on the rest of the series. A really great read. |

Saga #10 |
Feb 19, 2013 |
Issue #10 of Saga is a fun fast beat issue, despite its gut wrenching cliffhanger that left me swearing quite loudly Brian K. Vaughan's name, and wanting to read issue #11 straight away. |

Fiona Staples is as always breathtakingly amazing. Each page is a work of art that i would gladly hang up on my wall if had the chance. The Cover, First Page, and Last Page are amazing splash pages that had me drooling. |

Sex Criminals #3 |
Nov 19, 2013 |
Fraction has made this series playful and charming, all while being frank and honest about sex. The stories from our leads history are absolutely believable and make Suzie and Jon seem like real people. His writing works in tandem with Zdarksy's panels as the everything seems to flow as if created by one person. Zdarksy's art is breathtakingly gorgeous with great line work, amazing attention to details, and beautiful colours. |

I've never been much of a fan of military/modern warfare style comics, but I really enjoy this series and cannot speak highly enough about it. This was another great issue in a continually amazing run. |

Mitch Gerad's art is amazing as always, matching the tone of the book perfectly. It brings the story forward in fast paced scenes, as well letting the slow intense moments linger with you. |

Gerads was stellar on art duties. His art matched the tone of each mission and changed to suit with an amazing flow. I love the way how he lets the slower intense moments linger with you even after you've left the page. |

If you haven't managed to get the first issue do so. This series is at least worth a gander to see if it's you type of thing. |

Chew #31 |
Jan 22, 2013 |
As with all issues, this one is filled with gags which Layman and Guillory have snuck in that will have you going back in case you've missed something (comment below on one you noticed). CHEW #31 is also a great jumping on point for new readers and I highly recommend you tell your friends about it. |

Guarding the Globe (2012) #6 |
Feb 5, 2013 |
Todd Nauck's artwork is great in this issue, keeping it all together for the large battle scenes and the intense one on one moments. John Rauch's colour work is great for linking it to the same feel of Invincible, but also having sticking out at the same time. |

Mara #2 |

Given it is the second issue in a miniseries, I feel someone could easily jump onto this here without having the read the first one, but you would be missing out on an enriching first book. Definitely check this series out and grab a copy of one if you haven't already. |

Ming Doyle and Jordie Bellaire excute the feelings and emotions of this story so well with their gorgeous art styles. From emotive descriptions on the faces of characters, to bursts of bright colours, Doyle and Bellaire bring their brilliant art to this book which has me just seitting at a page and just staring. |

Repossessed has been a surprisingly little gem from JM Ringuet. through out it all this series has felt like it could fit well in the Supernatural TV series, with its equal mixture of Suspense, Horror, Action and Dark Humour. |
