A random small-town tragedy. A mystery illness that spreads with grief. A green glow on a lonely mountain. Three puzzle pieces that fit together to make a nightmare. And the only mind on Earth than can connect them up...belongs to the Immortal Hulk.

HORROR HAS A NAME.
You'd never notice the man. He doesn't like to be noticed. He's quiet. Calm. Never complains. If someone were to walk up and shoot him in the head... all he'd do is die.
Until night falls. And someone else gets up again.
The man's name is Banner.
The horror is THE IMMORTAL HULK.

Kyriazis' art is extraordinary and the coloring makes it even better. The dialogs are well-written and all characters are refreshingly original. Ideal for anyone who looks for an alternative superhero comic book.

George Trou reviewed Happy Vol. 1 Sep 30, 2015
The idea is great. However, the execution and the artwork are just mediocre.
Meet NICK SAX - a corrupt, intoxicated ex-cop turned hit-man, adrift in a stinking twilight world of casual murder, soulless sex, eczema and betrayal. With a hit gone wrong, a bullet in his side, the cops and the mob on his tail, and a monstrous child killer in a Santa suit on the loose, Nick and his world will be changed forever this Christmas.
George Trou reviewed Secret Identities #1 Apr 16, 2015
A very good first issue. Kyriazis' drawings are excellent, while the story and the characters are really interesting.

George Trou reviewed The Woods #4 Jan 8, 2015
A dramatic and intense and powerful issue. The best of the series so far.
In the woods, Karen, Adrian, and Calder explore the mysterious ruins of a past civilization as Sanami, Ben, and Isaac face off against a threat much scarier than the local fauna. At the school, Maria stokes revolution in the face of Coach Clay's fascist disciplinary committee.
George Trou reviewed The Woods #3 Jan 8, 2015
Things continue to go faster than I'd like, but we talk about an awesome issue.
As the darkness of night falls, monsters begin to reveal themselves-from both outside and inside the school. Maria struggles to break free of her false imprisonment before Coach Clay succeeds in instilling martial law, and the exploratory crew finds themselves being hunted by unseen shadows.
George Trou reviewed The Woods #2 Jan 8, 2015
Less action, but with excellent dialogues. The last page makes your heart beat faster.
While the crew of students led by Adrian and Karen come face to face with the unseen terrors of the alien woods, tensions boil over back at the school as power-hungry players seize the opportunity to take control.
George Trou reviewed The Woods #1 Jan 8, 2015
A more than satisfying first issue, with nice character introductions. The art by Dialynas is great and the coloring is superb.
WHY WE LOVE IT: As fans of James Tynion IV's work in the Batman universe (BATMAN ETERNAL, RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS), we were eager to publish his first original comic series. Plus, THE WOODS gives us that same eerie, small-town horror feel we get whenever we read a Stephen King novel.

George Trou reviewed Happy #2 Jan 6, 2015
Much better than the first issue. We see Nick's true, dark attitude, a genuine anti-hero.
Trapped in a mob hospital at the mercy of the cold-eyed torture expert Smoothie and his team of dedicated sadists, the only hope for Nick Sax is Happy the Horse! With three days to Black Christmas, can our unlikely duo stay together long enough to stop Pedo-Santa's rampage?
George Trou reviewed Happy #3 Jan 6, 2015
Easily the best issue of the series. No action, but masterfully written scenes and a clever twist.
With a day left until Christmas, and time running out for Santa's innocent victims, Happy the Horse learns what turned Nick Sax from golden cop to broken-down hitman. But can he convince Nick to do the right thing or is it Happy's turn to face some uncomfortable home truths?
George Trou reviewed Happy #4 Jan 6, 2015
Well, I expected a better finale. It is bloody and dark, but still...
Christmas is here and the bad men are about to open their presents! It's showdown time but can Nick Sax save the day without Happy to help him - or will he screw this up like everything else? You must not miss the blood-drenched conclusion of our heartwarming Yuletide classic!
George Trou reviewed The Autumnlands #2 Jan 6, 2015
Weaker than the first issue, but still a good one. Drama and then needed badass action, without any cliche.
After the shattering disaster last issue, the Great Champion of ancient legend is reawakened. And things get worse.
George Trou reviewed Manifest Destiny #11 Jan 6, 2015
One of the best issues so far. Exciting, dark, dramatic. This title is getting better and better.
"What do you plan on using as bait?"
George Trou reviewed Birthright #1 Jan 6, 2015
Well, the kid-lost-in-a-fantasy-world situation is an all-time classic. But here we get something more. The art is quite good, but nothing special. All in all is a good comic, worth your time.
For the Rhodes family, losing their son was the most devastating thing that could've ever occurred... but it couldn't prepare them for what happened when he returned.
