Manga and Comic Reviews
Aubrey Sitterson is a writer who’s been knocking around the fringes for a while now doing series that either haven’t had a whole lot of success, or that should’ve had more success than they did. The two “No One Left to Fight” miniseries I’ve talked about before definitely fall into that category and I’ve been […]
It’s standard issue for things to be bad in Maika Halfwolf’s life. Yet, the last time we saw her, things were especially dire. That’s because she, and anyone else who had touched the mask of the Shaman-Empress had been possessed by another member of Zinn’s race: The Defiled. Which means that, as this volume opens, […]
Having found himself relegated to Earth after falling out of favor with Satan, Dracula has now taken up root in his old homeland of Transylvania. He lords over the gypsy folk in the old castle above their town while feeding on the unwary as necessary. Yet the tedium of rule soon begins to gnaw at […]
With Phobos back on the side of the angels, it’s time for her and Clarion to finally put a wrench in Labrys’ plans. Until Phobos gets hit with an upgraded version of the BYDO virus and then has to make an awful choice in order to save those closest to her. Meanwhile, Project 2501 finds […]
In case you haven’t heard, the entire “X-Men” line underwent a three-month event called “Age of Revelation” at the end of last year. It involved sixteen(!) different three-issue miniseries plus prologue, opening, and closing issues that showed us what the world was like after Apocalypse’s Heir, Doug Ramsey – formerly known as Cypher, now known […]
Since the new Justice League was formed, they’ve been battling against the shadowy threat represented by the superterror organization known as Inferno. Though they initially appeared to be a new force for evil, the truth is that they’re actually the latest incarnation of the Legion of Doom! Only the twist this time is that they’re […]
Battle Beast: He beat up Invincible and a bunch of his friends, then tried to kill Thragg and died in the process. That was his story up until now, but what did he do in between these things? Scour the galaxy for a way to end his life and therefore calm the never-ending rage that […]
At the end of vol. 31, humanity was facing off against not one, but two Threat Level: Unknowns. By the end of the first chapter, however, they’re only facing off against one. Who could have taken out such a threat in the space of 46 pages? None other than the title character himself who actually […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: Innocent: Rouge Omnibus vol. 2 I was legitimately glad to see the first “Innocent: Rouge” omnibus in these solicitations after the end of the original series. After reading it, I was successively thrilled, perplexed, and engaged at the further adventures of the Sanson family with Marie now centered as the protagonist, and Charles-Henri […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: Transformers vol. 5: Generation One Vol. 4 saw original writer Daniel Warren Johnson wrap up the story he’d been telling since the start to somewhat disappointing effect (as far as I was concerned). A lot of stuff happened, but it didn’t really support the epic scope the writer was trying to achieve or […]
