This book took a pretty wacky turn. Jury is still out on whether it's a good turn. But for now, this was fun.
Home Sick Pilots #5
The Old James House turns on Ami. If she can't conquer her own demons, how can she expect to conquer those that haunt its hallways? Perhaps demons aren't for conquering. Perhaps we must fight alongside them...
The house fistfights a monster is what we're getting at, in the END OF OUR FIRST STORY ARC.
Home Sick Pilots #4
The Home Sick Pilots are reunited - but not for long. Who else knows about the ghosts? Who is killing for them? What has been crawling out of the VHS machine at night with blood on its rewindable mind?

Home Sick Pilots #3
The rest of the Home Sick Pilots continue their search for Ami through the Old James House. But the house doesn't want them to find her... and is now full of very angry restless spirits. Will they live to cover Blitzkrieg Bop another day?
This is so good. The story, the writing, the art...all of it. So, so good.
Home Sick Pilots #2
The Old James House has lost its ghosts. With her new powers, it's up to Ami to bring them back...whether they want to come home or not. Even when they're really big ghosts wrapped in metal, with lots of sharp edges and things.
This was fun. Good humour with a lot of jokes landing, great characters (not sure I love Shocker's characterization, but it's fine), and some terrific art. A little wordy, but when it's good writing, it's not the biggest deal. A good start to what seems like it'll be a really entertaining read.
Superior Foes of Spider-Man #1
Boomerang and some of Spidey's deadliest baddies prove that with terrible powers come terrible responsibilities! Rising Star Nick Spencer teams with Eisner Award winning sensation Steve Lieber for a walk on the Spider-Verse's evil side!
I absolutely LOVED this. Overflowing with nostalgia and angst, incredibly well-written, and absolutely stunningly illustrated by the always amazing Caspar Wijngaard, this hit all the right notes for me. I often find stories about teenagers super annoying, but I'm already finding myself caring about this band of orphans and misfits. This first issue has hooked me with its mystery. I'm so looking fo more
Home Sick Pilots #1
The team behind LIMBO, DAN WATTERS (Lucifer, COFFIN BOUND) and CASPAR WIJNGAARD (Star Wars, Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt), launch a brand-new ONGOING SERIES.
In the summer of 1994, a haunted house walks across California. Inside is Ami, lead singer of a high school punk band-who's been missing for weeks. How did she get there, and what do th...
A short but deeply moving story. Worth it for the gorgeous art alone, but I love when Lanzing and Kelly write like this. Their prose here is hauntingly beautiful. They can really bring it when they want to. Not a happy tale, but a powerful one that will stick with you.

Wifwulf OGN
WIFWULF is an original folklore myth telling the story of Charity Bjornsdotter, a young woman in 1860s Montana who spends her days in the woods with her closest friend, a local wolf she calls Silver Slash. Charity is soon to marry the most handsome man in her small village, the mercurial-yet-beloved Paul Skeld. As her husband isolates her from Silv...
A dang near perfect finale. Fantastic art, fantastic end to the story.

Hawkman #29
He's lived and died and lived again. But now, with just one life left to live and the reincarnation cycle at its end, will Hawkman sacrifice everything to protect the woman he loves from the cursed blade of Hath-Set? Learn the fate of Hawkman and Hawkwoman in a tale that will take you to the edge of time and space!
Really good. I loved the editor's note to just read the whole run up till now, that made me chuckle.

Hawkman #28
What was once a gift now becomes a curse! With the reincarnation cycle finally broken, Hawkman finds himself fearful that every fight could be his last-and Hawkwoman's patience for his caution wears thin. But they'll need all their wits and courage about them, because their age-old enemy Hath-Set is out for blood!

Hawkman #27
Hawks reborn! Hawkman and Hawkwoman receive the precious gift of life one last time and return to the past where they were happiest-back with the Justice Society of America! But nostalgia's not all it's cracked up to be with the Injustice Society on the loose! And who's the mysterious figure plotting to cut Hawkman's final life short from the shado...
This ending feels like it's more of a "journey over destination" type of ending. I don't really understand where we ended up, and this finale did feel a little rushed, but for so much of this series I didn’t care to know where I was going so long as the story kept me fascinated and entertained. It did that right to the end. Was it overly complicated at times? You bet. I definitely feel like it oca more
Prophet: Earth War #6
MINISERIES CONCLUSION
The final issue of the far-future, science-fiction clone epic.
I'm not sure how this series is going to end, but unfortunately I feel it's gotten a little too convoluted for its own good. It was always confusing, but this feels like a different sort of confusing. Before, it felt like we had direction, even if you didn't know where you were going. This feels like we're just wandering, hoping we'll end up at the right place. It's still enjoyable to read and loo more
Prophet: Earth War #5
The far future clone epic nears its end as old man Prophet reaches the same tower that awoke a sleeping empire.
Really good. Not sure I was the biggest fan of how the villain was defeated by simply...winning too hard? But it was fine. It also doesn't exactly make sense that Carter ends up buck naked when they wake up in Hawk heaven but Shay is somehow wearing linen wraps, but whatever. Carter finally atoning for his sins was a satisfying conclusion to the storyline that started way back at the beginning of more

Hawkman #26
There's no stopping the Lord Beyond the Void when he needs to feed, and he's set his sights on a new buffet: our universe! It'll take more than a fight for our heroes to bring their enemy to his knees...it'll take their very lives! That's right-in this issue, Hawkman and Hawkwoman will die!
/25.jpg)
Hawkman #25
Clash from the past! Hawkman and Hawkwoman wage war against the Lord Beyond the Void in a desperate bid to escape his realm! Once the god to whom Hawkman answered, now his mortal enemy-the Lord hates the hero Hawkman has become and will stop at nothing to drain his life force away and put an end to his reincarnations for good!
