Breast-Milk Homeless Man fights the Foreign Schlong-Slicer. The high school student who tried to steal a bra with his drone has to confront his crime.

…really quickly, in fact. That vol. 6 took really long to come in stock, along with my own reading backlog means you get to find out how things pick up from the potentially game-changing previous volume. The answer is “pretty well,” but may not for the reasons you’d normally expect. This is because “Unbound Force” […]
Pak’s run on this title has been uneven, to say the least. While the first volume didn’t impress, the second one did, and the quality has been seesawing back and forth between these posts ever since. Never quite good enough to stand alongside previous “Darth Vader” series, yet never bad enough to get me to […]
Vol. 5 left off with the team of Luke, Leia, Lando, Amilyn Holdo, and Lobot stuck in the region of No-Space after the Nihil Drive they hooked up to their ship took them there. They did manage to make contact with the survivors of the lost Kezarat Fleet, but now their only way home appears […]
Vol. 5 ended with the revelation that Doctor Doom was now going to have a role to play in this storyline about Thanos fighting Odin’s father Bor in the past. What were they fighting over? The power of the mysterious Black Infinity Stone. Doom wants this power for himself, of course, as he’s now looking […]
Miyuki has the money. He’s got the plan. He’s got the friends needed to carry it out. Now all he needs to do is execute it… ON HIS BIKE! Or maybe not since his friends tell him at the start that he should just take a cab to the first stop on his plan to […]
Charles Soule and Ryan Browne have been working independently and together in the comics industry for a while now. They’ve produced some good comics together and independently over the years, but neither has had what you would call a breakout success. By that I mean a series that everyone starts talking about, that generates multiple […]
I wasn’t quite sold on the first volume of this new series from writer Donny Cates and artist Ryan Stegman. While the writer has shown in the past that he’s usually very good about grounding fantastical situations in relatable human concerns, his efforts in vol. 1 didn’t really connect. Stegman may have delivered some great […]
Duggan touches upon another story idea set up by Jonathan Hickman in this volume. Specifically, what happened to the Brood after Broo ate the King Egg and became their leader? He’s been having them feed upon bad people in the cosmos to sate their bloodlust, but that doesn’t exactly square with the sight of a […]
