Last time, the crew of the Quin Zaza managed to bring down an epic dragon:  The Descender!  Now they’re ready to party with the locals, the Malotao, to commemorate the occasion.  A night of fun, fashion, and furious revelry is had by all with the morning giving way to the all-new spectacle of a horde […]

DC Solicitation Sneaks: September 2026

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Adventures of Superman:  The Book of El “Superman:  The Warworld Saga” didn’t just collect writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s three-volume epic, it also collected his “Future State” work with Superman and other comics that established his take on the House of El’s far future status.  That stuff was surprisingly great for being a non-canon […]

G.I. Joe vol. 3: Dreadnok War

The prequel miniseries were fine.  The first volume was okay.  The second volume was a big step in the right direction as it offered more character, promising setups, and payoffs on previous setups than we’d seen from this side of the Energon Universe yet.  That boded well for what was set to kick off in […]

The Voice Said Kill

Wave: Listen to Me! vol. 11

Two friggin’ years!  That’s how long we’ve had to wait for this volume.  Not that we needed to as this volume originally came out back in 2024 in Japan.  However, because I can only assume that “Wave” doesn’t do top-tier numbers for publisher Kodansha, it took that extra year for vol. 11 to arrive out […]

Johnny Red: A Couple of Heroes

Sharp-eyed readers may have noticed a couple of things about the third volume of “Battle Action” from Garth Ennis and company after it was released last year.  Despite being initially serialized as a ten-issue miniseries, it only collected nine of them (and was thinner than the previous five-issue volume).  It also featured only two contributions […]

Cat + Crazy vol. 3

He’s under the tutelage of Jin “The Cat Whisperer” Nekoya.  He has his own cat, Tiger.  He’s even got a part-time job at a cat cafe.  What’s left for Kensuke to experience in terms of expressing his love for cats?  Why, starting a cat club at his school, of course.  He’ll need at least three […]
