It's so easy to rate this issue a 10/10 but the problem comes is issue after issue , chapter after chapter just gets better and better......it's as close to perfection as anything I have ever read. Scrumptious......that's it for Rabbit...... Scrumptious.......JM
Bleeding Hearts #8
Poke knows he can’t keep the secret of his beating heart and changing sympathies forever…but who can he trust without bringing the whole Horde down on his head? And what has Rabbit found in her new hiding place?
If there was an 11, I would give it.
Never seen emotions mix with zombie like this. Deniz is leveling up the zombie industry

No words can ever really explain how a single issue of a sensational first arc hits someone! White Sky should really be read in trade and I hope enough buy it , for it really is a fabulous horror story..........JM

END OF STORY ARC
VIOLET IS ON HER OWN!
In the aftermath of last issue’s shocking events, Violet flees San Francisco, more determined than ever to find her dad. But will the gift given to her by Walter be a blessing or a curse?
David attempts to escape the scavenger camp, but as he does, it’s attacked.
I was brought up on Western films and have an undying love affair with horror , so Jonah Hex ticks all the boxes for me. Outstanding art paired with an attention to detail that really hits all the proverbial home runs. DC may be killing it with their Absolute line but this is a hidden gem that is well worth the enjoyment........
Jonah Hex and the Shadow of Death #1
Welcome to the end of the Wild West. Welcome to the quiet life of a broken-down bounty hunter whose own story, one of bloodshed, pain, and guilt, ended long ago—or so he thought. In a small town called Ashecott, something evil has arrived. Something more dangerous than a gunslinger, more sinister than an outlaw, and older than the town it seeks to ...
The core of every true story is heart. This tale takes us back to a raw , more savage time with a villain that bleeds power. In it's rawness, this story beats like no Superman story has for years. The art is noir and pulls the pages to you. You get inside his mind. His fears , his faith and his contempt for all things corrupt, but alas he is still headstrong and vulnerable............ exquisite... more
Superman: The Stranger #2
Clark’s crusade for the downtrodden has hit some walls. He wants to do the most good, but he feels the people who need him the most are the most invisible. All of that changes when he stumbles upon Lois Lane, an intrepid reporter who’s made it her mission to make the unseen seen. With information gleaned from her articles, can Clark begin to turn t...
This may or may not be a late review but it is so important to me. For every child that is lost or in care , for every single child that can't make sense of loss and trauma and for every adult that never gets to leave the pain. Read this comic. Hand it out in schools for free. Put it in doctor surgeries for people to read while waiting. It is an absolute perfect home run and by far my personal fav more
Something is Killing the Children #39
Ahead of the landmark 40th issue of Something is Killing the Children, get ready for the final issue of the character-defining Year Zero arc with another nightmarish standalone adventure!
As Erica takes on a vital mission in a remote and isolated town, witness her terrifying journey into a gruesome challenge that will take a miracle to esc...
This is a difficult review as I've been reading Superman for longer than any other comic in existence. I seriously get annoyed at all the re-inventing of the same old carnage every year or so but I also understand, let's say we all as readers get jaded.
Today I read my hero and as much as I wanted to hate it....... something strange happened to this old man.
I fell in love with Superman

Superman: The Stranger #1
Step into the Golden Age and witness the first adventures of Superman! During the day, Clark Kent does what he can to make ends meet in the bustling city of Metropolis, but when the sun goes down, he leaps into action to keep the city streets safe! As Superman, Clark fights for a better tomorrow, but he feels like he’s not affecting change. The ric...
In life we as mortal people get to read and write. Pretty pictures with nice words that take us to our childhood for a little while. Bleeding Hearts is non of this for it tells of a monster that is better than the humans they kill.
The art and pacing are a privilege to read and this arc has left this old reader feeling a sense of wonder, that we can still produce such wonderful horror. This

Bleeding Hearts #6
It’s the 11th Annual Outbreak! For months, hordes all over the world have been preparing to celebrate the unholy origin of our species with a week of Bone-Tower building, ritual Live One hunts, live food, undead music, and so much more! You are what you are—be proud of that and of death’s victory over life!
I suppose I am the target market for Spawn as I fell away from the title back around issue 117. The problem with this so called jumping on point is that it lacked a hook to bring me back. The pacing seemed really off at the start with so much needless words and a real lack of vision to grab me , the reader. As the pacing got quicker I just personally found myself drifting along with it. The art an more
Spawn #376
Spawn has been beaten, bloodied, and left for dead. But unfortunately for Spawn’s attacker, all that did was make him mad.
I am going to be honest as I'm seriously not a Green Arrow fan. I mostly enjoyed the TV series but as for the comics, we'll not so much. So like a lot of comic readers I find myself buying into the Absolute fan based hype. The problem with hype in an ever expanding market is it's either crap or ok at best. That leads to readers buying it to be part of the experience and probably again for the wors more
Absolute Green Arrow #1
A serial killer is slaughtering corrupt billionaires. The only clue to his identity is the mysterious green arrows sticking out of his victims’ corpses. Executive protection specialist Dinah Lance, a.k.a. Absolute Black Canary, is one of the people tasked to uncover this murderer’s identity as she investigates her suspects…all familiar DC archers u...
A ghost story wrapped up in a dystopian America is probably seriously cool on it's own. Add in stunning art with minimal but realistic dialogue and seriously cool became White Sky. I love horror and adore a writer and artist that want to make it believable.......JM
White Sky #3
On the run from a group of bloodthirsty scavengers, Violet and Walter start the journey toward San Francisco. But safety seems impossibly far as hundreds of ravenous spirits descend on them. In the meantime, David, who’s being held prisoner, begins to plot his escape.
If you read something new on a whim , well your either disappointed or it's kinda meh to okay. Firstly the good. Manga style art that literally pops of the pages. It's cool , fast paced and leaves you kinda breathless. Now the bad. If I knew what was going on at the start I lost the room by the end. No offence to Image Comics and the creators of this comic but I absolutely loved it......... outsta more
Fireborn #1
A new series set in the world of LOST FANTASY! Aaron Hillburg was just another rich-kid failson—ghosting his responsibilities, hopping rooftops, and hating his billionaire father in peace… until a mysterious floating dragon egg bonds to him and ignites a hidden lineage of ancient magic inside his body. Now every violent outlaw wizard, biker cultist...
It takes a special team to re-invent the so called zombie genre and they just keep hitting all the high notes. Deniz Camp is on fire just now with this and Martian Manhunter and the art from Stipan Morian is next level. Outstanding.......JM
Bleeding Hearts #3
Poke returns to his horde after meeting Mama and Rabbit profoundly changed and a bit confused. He’s experiencing things he cannot explain…things like compassion and sadness. He’s tried his best to convince Mama that he means them no harm and that they should stay hidden, but for Mama, trust is something hard-earned. So how much of a risk is she wil...
Sometimes issue 2's can feel rushed or drawn out but on this occasion, the turn of pace was sublime. Pacing , art , panels......each page pulled you into her heart. This for me was an easy perfect 10........outstanding
..JM
Bleeding Hearts #2
A world overrun by flesh-eating zombies is the only world young Rabbit has ever known…and her mother, Cara, has done everything she can to get her ready to survive in it. But she never expected to meet a zombie who seemed to want to help her with this goal!
The slow lazy style of the story blended in perfectly with the grimy noir style art. It reminded me of an old 60's detective story with a modern Occult twist. In truth, I found this opening issue charming and nostalgic and for that alone i will be back for issue 2. DC are really upping the game lately......Jonn
The Peril of the Brutal Dark: An Ezra Cain Mystery #1
New York City, 1941. Ezra Cain is a private investigator with a reputation for taking it on the chin if it means solving a case. But it's his former life as an archaeology student that makes him the only man to track down an artifact that’s gone missing from the Museum of Natural History…an ancient anvil said to hold the power of the Greek god Heph...
Sometimes the hype of a book destroys the books charm but on this occasion the realisation of the book was outstanding. Great scenes, wonderful character development and the art told the story with a sense of the great Jack Kirby. This is my kind of story telling art. Fast paced and dynamic and it's a real pleasure to be able to enjoy a book without a million unnecessary words. Let the flow of th more
White Sky #1
Five years ago, the sky turned white, and the world ended. Violet and her father, David, are forced out of hiding and flee toward the ruins of San Francisco, where they believe they’ll be safe. But in this haunted world ruled by ghosts, no place is safe.
As a concept, this kind of story has been done to death. Add in seriously lame humour that scratches around for a story and you end up with a really dull tale. The main character is so annoying that it made it a difficult read. The art wasn't bad at all and in truth could have lifted the book somewhat with a better editor. Hopefully this story will improve as it deserves to because I love Vertigo more
End of Life #1
Professional hitman Eddie Stallion has messed up. He’s accidentally robbed the Raven, a high-ranking boss of the international cabal of assassins the Menagerie, of which Eddie is a member…or he was. Now with a price on his head, Eddie chooses to hide in the one place everyone knows he’d never go…the small midwestern town of Pluto, home of his estra...
If this is the true start of Vertigo Comics , then I am all in for the future. Extremely funny horror with so much going on it will take a few reads to immerse into the sublime universe. Oh and as for the art....totally breathtaking. This is one of the few times when 10/10 is an undervalued score. I look forward to more like this please from Vertigo......JM
Bleeding Hearts #1
The zombies won-and ten years after the fall of humanity, they're the dominant form of life (or not-life) on Earth. They've developed their own cultural practices, their own language, their own society. Mouse-Pokes-Golf-Ball-Through-Hole-In-Head ("Poke" for short) is a beloved member of his community, and with his brother-in-arm Mush, he's happy t...
Sorry for the score of 1 as I absolutely loved this original series right up until the end. It was rushed , lazy and crammed into an extremely dull last 2 issues. If I was a betting man , I would say she got the sack from Boom for delays because of Marvel commitments. Such a shame when it had all the hall marks of a wonderful series........JM
Grim #25
It's the final chapter of the critically acclaimed, supernatural horror series!
In the stunning series finale, Jess and Marcel reunite one last time-this time on opposite sides of life and death. On the precipice of what comes next, their bittersweet encounter becomes a reflection on their past, present, and future.
Don't ...
Like all true fans , I love a little nostalgia but unfortunately the dialogue at times reminds me more of the bad parts of the 90's. Visually this is an absolute triumph in design and story led structure and with a little more care in the dialogue, this really could be on every pull list. As a nod to my past I'm going to give it a 10 as in the end The Darkness says so.........JM
The Darkness #1
In a world consumed by shadows...one man becomes The Darkness. Jackie Estacado is back! Thrust into a supernatural war between the dark and the light in a no-holds-barred adventure where the edge of our reality grinds against supernatural forces grappling for control over each other and the waking world.
