Briton rated Cold Spots #2 Nov 20, 2018
Dan has tracked his estranged wife and daughter to a dreary island off the coast of North Carolina-and the closer he gets, the colder his surroundings become. A cold so deep it can freeze the flesh from your bones lingers in the air, and Dan is starting to believe his daughter might be the key to this dawning, bone-chilling supernatural winter.

Briton reviewed High Heaven #2 Nov 20, 2018
It's good. Buy it.
What's worse than being sentenced to Hell? For self-pitying David Feathers, it's an eternity in Paradise, where he runs afoul of a monstrous angel. EXTRA! The surly science-heroes of Hashtag: Danger adopt an alien pet! Plus a short story by Austin Wilson!
Briton reviewed High Heaven #1 Nov 20, 2018
Clever and unusual.
Chronic malcontent David Weathers dies and goes to Heaven-where everything is terrible, and everybody hates a complainer. A savage satire by writer Tom Peyer (Hourman, Batman '66) with art by Greg Scott (Black Hood, X-Files). And! The socially awkward science-adventurers known as Hashtag: Danger kill a dinosaur! Backup s...
Briton reviewed Sparrowhawk #2 Nov 19, 2018
Well I gave it a chance. Two issues in and it's clear this isn't for me. We have an English victorian leading lady of mixed race (what else COULD she be?) who despises the upper classes and wicked imperialists. She does whatever she is told by an evil vampire rabbit, while spouting every liberal cliché under the sun. All this, and the crappiest art possible.
Trapped in the beautiful, deadly world of Faerie, Art realizes that there is only one way out. To survive, she has to fight. To escape, she has to win.
Briton rated Sparrowhawk #1 Nov 19, 2018
Teen Victorian fairy fight club!

However, when she is targeted by the Faerie Queen and pulled into another realm, she has no choice but to try and save the world that has always hated her.

Briton reviewed Captain Ginger #1 Nov 16, 2018
Unusual comic, but I wonder if the concept has enough legs for s mini series?
When the human race died out, the cats inherited the Earth! Or at least one starship. Now the intrepid Captain Ginger struggles to keep his fellow felines united against a hostile universe. Thirty-five pages of comic adventure-with a bite-by writer Stuart Moore (Deadpool the Duck, Batman: Noir Alley) and artist June Brigman (Power Pack). Plus: An a...
Briton reviewed Heroes In Crisis #2 Nov 2, 2018
A bit of a mess. And none of the deaths will stick.
Suspected of murder, [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] find themselves on the run from the super-hospital called Sanctuary -with each thinking the other one is the real killer! It's up to Batman to solve this heinous crime, but suspicion falls on him when Superman and Wonder Woman ponder just how much Sanctuary's A.I. is telling them. Meanwhile, [REDACTED]...
Briton reviewed Aquaman #41 Oct 28, 2018

A new world unbroken by science! And a new mission for Stellar that will turn her life upside down.
Briton reviewed Stellar #5 Oct 28, 2018
Confusing story, but great artwork.
A stranger in a strange dimension, Stellar visits the family she never had-and fights for her life, with more on the line than ever before!

Meh. Just get me back to the farm.
The Eisner Award-winning superhero saga returns!
After the shocking revelations in the last issue, Colonel Weird finds himself as a stranger in a strange land, where reality is ever changing!
I'll be amazed if this series makes double figures. Rubbish art too.

The world fell in love with her in the movie. Now, the Black Panther's techno-genius sister launches her own adventures - written by best-selling Afrofuturist author Nnedi Okorafor and drawn by Eisner-nominated artist Leonardo Romero!

A very strong issue. There were some really interesting interviews with past editors to top it off.

Briton reviewed Aquaman #39 Oct 4, 2018
I hate cross overs and refused to buy the linked titles. It doesn't seem to matter here as the story is weak, and the artwork poor.

Guest-starring Task Force X, and continuing from SUICIDE SQUAD #45, also on sale this month! After Atlantis rises to the surface once more, Aquaman finds himself outnumbered and outgunned when Amanda Waller sends in the worst of the worst-the Suicide Squad-to send the Lost City straight to Hell in "Sink Atlantis!" part two!
Briton reviewed Heroes In Crisis #1 Oct 3, 2018
Miserable, negative and ultra violent. Comics don't have to be like this, but it's overwhelmingly the only way the publishers will operate.
There's a new kind of crisis threatening the heroes of the DC Universe, ripped from real-world headlines by C.I.A.-operative-turned-comics-writer Tom King: How does a superhero handle PTSD? Welcome to Sanctuary, an ultra-secret hospital for superheroes who've been traumatized by crime-fighting and cosmic combat. But something goes inexplicably wron...
Briton rated Ice Cream Man #7 Oct 2, 2018
"MY LITTLE POLTERGEIST"
Another sullen, sequential short! Here, a little girl's best friend comes back from the dead. Or does she? It's hard to say, ghosts being an unreliable sort.
Briton reviewed Archie: 1941 #1 Sep 30, 2018
Completely pointless. For the real Archie 1941, real the old comics from this days. This is destined to be politically correct rubbish. Oh and the art is crap too.
THE HISTORIC, GROUND-BREAKING MINI-SERIES STARTS HERE! Archie has been around for over 75 years and has been through many significant moments in time, but never before have we seen the characters take on real-world events as they unfold. WWII is looming and Archie and many young men from Riverdale are close to enlistment age. If you're a Riverdale ...
