Dark Horse Previews Picks: October 2021

Above-the-Board Recommendation: No One Left to Fight II #1 (of 5): Writer and co-creator Aubrey Sitterson started writing two new miniseries for Dark Horse, the latest issues of which are also in these solicitations.  Artist and co-creator Fico Ossio started illustrating a “Mister Miracle” miniseries for DC.  With its creators busy with other projects like […]

Marvel Previews Picks: October 2021

It occurs to me that I may have to rename this particular column “Penguin Picks” after this month… Above-the-Board Recommendation: Immortal Hulk vol. 10:  Of Hell And Of Death That’s certainly a cheery title for this series to wrap up its run with, isn’t it?  Yes, that’s right, Al Ewing and Joe Bennett’s hugely popular […]

Wave: Listen to Me! vol. 6

You know… When I started reading this series, I wasn’t expecting to read a storyline where Minare and a couple of co-workers head out to a rural village for research, fall into an aqueduct via trapdoor, and are recruited by a cult to spread their dogma.  Dogma that happens to come with a side of […]

Usagi Yojimbo (vol. 35): Homecoming

Savage Avengers vol. 1: City of Sickles

Harrow County Omnibus vol. 1

I’ve read a lot of Cullen Bunn’s comic book writing over the years.  Some of it good, some of it bad, and some that I can just feel indifferent towards.  Tyler Crook, on the other hand, is someone who has always delivered enjoyably creepy art and acquitted himself well when he took over from Guy […]

It was one thing for the opening pages of vol. 1 to imply that this was going to be a story about a girl and her relationship with a giant monster that was clearly Not Godzilla.  It wasn’t until the very end of that volume where it became clear that’s  exactly what this story was […]
