I made a kind of promise to myself this year that I would only review something outstanding and wickedly wonderful. Oh well let's face it this comic has to be the funniest well thought out story that I've read in forever. The writing and script by Charles are an utter joy but the art by Ryan is absolutely and utterly delicious on every single panel........fabulous.......Jonn

Occult and supernatural meshed into a highly art driven story about human sacrifice and so called friendships. Azzarello keeps enough story back to really drive the sense of the living forest and the art of Del Rey is perfect for the dark mood of the story.....JM

Nice art and pretty engaging story that was let down mostly because of crude dialogue.......JM

This is a strange sort of story with near perfect art and colours wrapped up in a pretty enjoyable western like I used to love way back in the day. Problems come when the story is extremely light on the supernatural but as I love a good western I've little to complain about here.....JM

Yoon as a character is awesome and the maga style art is absolutely wonderful. The script is witty and makes you think but in a good way. I absolutely and utterly love this kind of story and believe me the art really is outstanding......JM

I like Snyder's take so far on a young vibrant Batman with a truly great understanding of how all his friends eventually become his enemies. The down side i suppose is it's a bit rough and uneven in places and skips around timeliness to much. I say to much as it disrupts the action and makes it less than I think it will rad as a trade.....nonetheless I enjoyed it enough.....JM

The images of the Darkness that follows the Eye to the Door of Time is so perfect. Jeff brings the occult to life wrapped up in a tale of everyday family life. I absolutely love his wonderfully quirky art and colours as they fit so well with this sad story about having a curse that nobody sees and only the few believe......JM

Future and past mesh together in a seamless noir horror that is brilliantly crafted. The art fits the theme perfectly and the colours pop of the page. I felt like I was watching a re run of some wonderful old sci fi that would grace any tube , past or present. I'm really loving these over sized graphic comics from DSTRLY and wow when it comes to taking on the super hero drivel and producing intelligent art......
Stunning......JM more

It's such a surprise when you pick up a book that's seriously not your thing , read it without much interest as remember its not really my thing , get kind of comfortable at the lovely sumptuous sexy art that is....well maybe a thing and then top it of with a huge dollop of Oh My God well didn't that turn out to be just my sort of thing.......this was absolutely and utterly maybe always my thing......JM more

An ambitiously Orwellian take on life in the age of algorithms and "AI", where people don't even notice how their own voices and ideas have been made extraneous to the ever-more-automated and controlled process of communication. I don't know if I'm convinced that magic dust is a thing Superman needs, but I really respect what Aaron & Sandoval are reaching for here enough to run with it

This story is fascinating and macarbe all at the same time. It got me thinking about what makes a body up and what equates as life on a cellular level of existence. As I read it I have a stinking cold with the usual coughs , sneezing and general feeling of dying. I don't know if it was kismet or just plain luck that got me interested enough to give this a shot but I for one are grateful regardless. Wonderfully paced and the art is simply wonderful. Whoever is really in charge at Boom Studios when it comes to giving the green light for these creator comics , give yourself a big fat thank you for showing the rest of the comics industry that there is more to comics than super hero's...........JM more

Sorry to every other comic that hit the stands this week but for me and my pal this was an absolute and utter hilarious home run. This oozes charm , fun and at my advancing age.....a red face at how much I laughed till I cried....if comics were made to just entertain an old man on a Saturday night in , then Harley Quinn hit the number 1 spot for Xmas.....JM

The interaction between Bruce and Superman really hit the button on the way an aging superhero might think. The art was again next level and the amount of little plot lines keep this fresh and dynamic. The thought of a wonder drug that keeps you alive and young must make anyone stop and think about what is a life without death? This kind of writing is wonderful as I've been reading and watching Batman for nearly all my 60 years..........JM more

The latest hit from the production line of wonderful Boom talent is starting to really ramp up the pace. Think Total Recall on steroids with as many little lovely plots and your on a winner. Polished art and tight layered script make it a complete joy to read. I can almost feel what it must like and that says all without giving anyone a spoiler. Go online or in story , hand over a few pennies for the first 2 issues , pour a drink of choice and enjoy something that shouts enjoy me........JM more

As a psychological thriller this was for me a perfect take on Selina. All the elements of the Bourne Identity wrapped up in one of my all time favourite characters. Add in a bit of Mafia and it's a home run. The only thing was the art wasn't quite up to the story telling and although didn't spoil it at all , it could have been a whole lot better. Selina really needs a much stronger artist going forward.......JM more

My biggest concern about the direction of this comic recently is the use of various more original stories from the past. The mass burning of books during WW2 , the Book of Eli , the burning of comics in the 50's along with the many districts of the Hunger games with a little of Divergent thrown in as a side dish.
I loved the first 5 issues but it really is starting to tread others stories way to much and is starting to loose it's own brilliant identity. Hopefully the team can get it back to a more modern version of a culture Clint Eastwood film but I'm rather doubting it just now. Shame as this had so much going for it at the start and my biggest gripe was the very uneven art at times. The USP of this book has to be the awesome art that grabbed me in at first.........JM more

This new western take on Manga really hit a home run. Fast paced and witty with lots of adult themes running through fabulous art. In a crowded comic rack this should seriously have a blue line drawing you to it as its wonderfully.......Jonn

As a second issue it rather slow burned its way to the end. The art was nice but the overall feel of the black hole was for some strange reason lost. The character division was great as that's life and the way Art is treated really highlights humans as a poor inadequate species. Still i really enjoyed it for the couple of really rather minor flaws..........JM

Okay I'm a space junky and this is my kind of story but....The way the story came together has raised way more questions than my average sci-fi fare. On the art front all I can say is if this was on TV I wouldn't have enjoyed it more.lush lovely colours that made me remember Stargate , great start.......JM

As a psychic medium myself that has fought against the curse for all my life , this story of Theresa resonates on every level. The words, drink , feelings are all the same and is superbly written and drawn..........Jonn

This has been a roller coaster of an 8 issue story. To be fair to the inconsistencies that have come and went the story in its was rather enjoyable. This issue wrapped up everything neatly and was probably thar highlight of the run. The art on the other hand by Szymon was absolutely and utterly outstanding. On its own it told the complete story and I challenge anyone on a second read through not to look at the words to prove my point. Oh how I would love him on Catwoman........Jonn more

Outstanding on every single level. The art alone is beyond words. This is the story i dreamed about reading as a lost little boy when I got a crumpled up coverless copy of Superman. The year as I recall was 1967 and that started my love affair with space , comics , stories and art. Today I fell in love with Superman all over again and that I'm glad to say is why I suppose he exists at all. So little boys like me can grow old but never grow up. For me this was perfection.......Jonn more

This is horror on a scale that puts the reader in the awkward predicament of seeing both sides of the same coin simultaneously. A very special mention to the art that actually made me feel cold inside and had me walking the forest in my mind. Sometimes we say sensational all to quickly but on this occasion I believe it so. If ever this was made into a Vertigo series or mini series then I for one would be front and centre. Outstanding work...........Jonn more

The story of Death , life and now time is a roller coaster of wonder. The writing by Stephanie and the outstanding art by Flaviano are poor joy. Every episode brings more and more questions to the table and each and every answer knocks you for six. For me this is the best ongoing comic of this or any other decade..........Jonn

In a world where Batman must exist come a new again spin on a different spoke of a wheel. Let's start with the good. The art was wonderful, dark and vibrant with a cracking script that really made you think regardless if you wanted to. The dynamics of wanting to be medically enhanced made me think on a whole new level. The down side maybe for a lot of readers is reinventing Batman yet again but I love to think we all could do with a large dose of reinventing sometimes and I absolutely loved this issue......outstanding.......Jonn more

I'm at a loss where to actually start with this abomination of a comic. To be fair I actually enjoyed issue 1 way more than I had anticipated but oh my how my hopes were dashed after this. The dialogue was so excruciatingly bad it actually made me laugh at times. The art was so badly coloured that the pretty wonderful intricate ink work was!!!! I think the word was abused! I would love to see this as a black and white as it would look outstanding and if someone from kindergarten has nice new crayons I'm sure we could start a competition to re word this. A nice Violator toy to the winner......lol woeful......sorry I'm so over Spawn just now.......Jonn more

A perfect end to a wonderful story.....JM
