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 […]
Uri Tupka is a heretic. That’s what happens to theologians who speak truth to power and tell their emperor that the hundred-foot, solid gold goat statue they’re building might not be very pious. He then finds himself on the run and in the company of a hermit who had an encounter with an unknowable thing. […]
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 […]
Did you know that there are actually two undersea races in the DC Universe? There’s the Atlanteans, who are ruled by Aquaman, and the Tritonians, mer-people ruled by King Ronal – who is married to Superman’s old friend Lori Lemaris. Both races are now facing an outbreak of a disease that’s turning them all feral, […]

The year is 1969 and Jenny, Doc, Schizo, Leonard, and Sam are heading to Northern California in Jen’s old Volkswagen van for a concert. It’s a long drive so they’ve got plenty of time to talk about the important things like music, past good times in the van, and whether or not Schizo can open […]
A gold shirt means you’re part of Command. A blue shirt means you’re part of Science/Medical. A red shirt means you’re part of Operations, and we all know what happens to anyone in a red shirt in a “Star Trek” series. Which is probably not a good thing for anyone in this miniseries’ cast as […]
For twenty-one years the Allwinter has cursed the northern lands under an unending torrent of snow and cold. That hasn’t been enough to drive mankind from them, nor has it gotten them to stop fighting over it. Jarl Vandar “Vandal” Savage leads one of the largest kingdoms in these frozen tundra, thanks to the man […]
It’s been over two decades since a manga from Kaiji Kawaguchi was published in America.
