The funny stuff is still funny and the sexy stuff is still sexy in this series. So what’s left to talk about? Well, there is the conflict that threatens to split apart Lisa and Ally’s relationship. Though the volume begins with the former moving into the latter’s apartment with all sorts of romantic, sexual, and […]
At this point, Dark Horse has published more “Halo” comics for a longer time than when Marvel had the license to do so. The one thing they haven’t done, however, is publish a hardcover anthology of short stories based in this videogame universe. Well, that’s going to change this October when Dark Horse puts out […]
Remember when creators Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque put this series on hiatus for a year so that they’d be able to work on all of the issues together and have them come out on schedule? Yeah, that worked out real well. It took Snyder and Albuquerque over a year to put out the six […]
This is a prequel of sorts to “Barakamon” in the sense that it shows what Sei Handa, the straightlaced calligrapher protagonist of that series, was like back in highschool. As it turns out, he was even more uptight and neurotic when he was younger. This is because Handa is convinced that everyone in school hates […]
It bills itself as the best superhero title in the universe. So why would “Invincible” ever consider doing a reboot? Mainly to freak out fans at the possibility that Robert Kirkman’s long-running superhero title might be giving in to the compulsion that has gripped the Big Two for the past few years. Naturally, that’s not […]
Now this is more like it. Writer Fred Van Lente has yet to truly distinguish his run from previous “Conan” writers, but he turns in a tale with more variety and energy than the one he delivered in the previous volume. In order to obtain the treasure hoard known by the mute slave girl Diana, […]
Up until the end, this latest volume of the weird adventures of Lewis and Clark is another successful round of high adventure on the untamed American frontier. This time around the explorers see one of the mysterious arches in the distance and two weird things for their trouble. The first is a blue-feathered, smart-assed, Muppet-like […]
Interesting title for this volume, no? One would think that it’d be a particularly apt title since it sees half of the title’s creative team, artist Jamie McKelvie, absent for the majority of it. He only contributes a few pages of original art here, but the man had a good excuse — McKelvie was working […]
Up until this point Saitama has faced off against some pretty bad villains. But how will he survive the threat of a meteor which threatens all life on the planet? Or what about the Deep Sea King who has invaded the surface along with the rest of his fishy clan? Is this a threat that […]
This latest volume of “All-New X-Men” starts off with a pretty good story involving Emma Frost teaching/tormenting the time-displaced Jean Grey in Madripoor over the latter’s reliance on her telepathic powers over her telekinetic ones. It plays to Bendis’ strengths in character-driven dialogue (particularly with Emma’s bitchy banter), and features some striking art from Mike […]
