    Biology and Crime may sound like a unique pairing. The life and times of Mason Shaw being to show readers how engaging this concept can be. Liebermans writing constructs the grimy and unforgiving world of the Queen. Henderson and Azpiazu present intense imagery which catapults this imaginative tale to new heights. The buzz is definitely real behind this one. Read Full Review

    Capes & Tights - Justin Soderberg Jan 31, 2025

    The Hive is a great addition to the crime genre while carving a path for itself. What A.J. Lieberman, Mike Henderson, and Iaki Azpiazu accomplish with their debut issue is a compellingly unique experience. Lieberman weaves intricate drama and suspense against Henderson's stunning artwork Azpiazu's brilliant colors to craft a series that has me chomping at the bit for more. Read Full Review

    Not sure what the critics read, but I did not feel the same. I thought it was one of the worst first issues from image I've ever read. It doesn't do a good job of getting you interested or invested.
