Pav reviewed Head Lopper #3 Apr 12, 2016
It's hilarious--for being a book with the focus on a behemoth of a man carrying a severed witch's head, it feels so real, especially with Agatha Blue Witch's constant annoying of Head Lopper (Norgal will do just fine).
STORY / ART / COVER A: ANDREW MacLEAN
Norgal and Agatha meet fellow adventurer Zhaania while battling a mega-arachnid from Hell.
Pav reviewed Head Lopper #2 Apr 12, 2016
Still great.
Norgal and Agatha pass through a dark forest with a particularly grim history, where they meet a strange little creature named Gnym. Is he a friend? Or does he just want to see undead giants squish the Head Lopper to meat-jelly? All this... And more!
MAJOR PLOT POINT
Villain, Servin Lulach's origin story is introduced.
Pav reviewed Black Panther #1 Apr 12, 2016
Unbelievable start to the new series, leaves you wishing there was more book left.

Pav reviewed Batman: Europa Apr 11, 2016
I read these as they came out, and I definitely enjoyed it. The art is the best part for me, and the writing is good as well, but the story itself seems a little too all over the place for me, personally. But again, the art makes it worth the buy.
The long-awaited 4-issue miniseries is collected in a new hardcover!

Pav reviewed Swamp Thing #4 Apr 11, 2016
Despite most people feeling like it is the worst issue of the series so far (at least that I've spoken to), I thought it was the best. The cover definitely oversells a "deadly battle" with Alec Holland, but I really enjoy the idea of Swamp Thing taking on a villainous role with Matt Cable. I'm absolutely unsure of how this turns around for Alec, though.

Alec Holland tries to help a friend learn the ways of the Green, but is he the same person Alec remembers? Could something far more sinister than dark magic be looming?
Pav reviewed Swamp Thing #3 Apr 11, 2016
Zatanna's appearance is cool, but overall feels like it could have been more.

But all magic has a costwill Swamp Thing get everything he has ever wanted, or discover the consequences of leaping before you ...
Pav reviewed Swamp Thing #2 Apr 11, 2016
It's definitely not a bad comic, just not a great one either. (Using 5 as "average" for my scale).

Swamp Thing must search out an old friend if he hopes to save the small college town from the resurrected student roaming the forest.

Anticlimactic ending to what was an excellent story arc.

Pav reviewed The Discipline #1 Mar 23, 2016
Maybe it's just because of the first issue, but this never grabbed me. I get there were moments and there is a mystery behind all that went on, but it never hits home. I'll read at least two more issues to give it a fair shot, but so far, not so good.

What appears to be a simple seduction is revealed as something much darker and more dangerous. This controversial and erotically-charged tale of sex, death, and metamorphosis begins with an explosion of...
