It’s the end of an era as this marks the last proper volume of “Usagi Yojimbo” (not counting the upcoming “Wherewhen” crossover with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) to be published by IDW. Creator Stan Sakai now has his own “Dogu Comics” imprint at Dark Horse so it’s a very safe bet that all future […]
This volume hits the ground running as Asirpa is still in Major Tsurumi’s hands just after she’s given him her father’s name. Which is a key piece of information about how to interpret the map made by the tattooed skins that have been the focus of this series for so long. Then the bullets start […]
It was inevitable that Jon Kent was going to get his own solo title at some point. He’s the Son of Superman, after all. It’s a role that’s too high-profile not to have one. The real question was whether or not that series or miniseries was going to be any good. With a creative team […]
Again, there’s a pretty good chance you already know if this is going to be worth your time. If you were one of the few who came out of vol. 1 on the fence, however, then know this: Shirtless Bear-Fighter is still fighting bears! To an unhealthy extent, even. Which means that it’s not long […]
It’s been a while since I’ve read anything from Paul Cornell, a writer whose work I’ve enjoyed after successful runs on “Captain Britain and MI-13,” “Wolverine,” and “Action Comics.” His latest project has nothing to do with superheroes and everything to do with witches, warlocks, and other con artists in WWII. “The Witches of World […]
I expressed concern last time that, as the series began its final arc, that “Kaguya-sama” wasn’t going to prize comedy over everything else the way it has before. It pains me to say that this looks to be the case after taking in all of vol. 25. Kaguya disappeared towards the end of vol. 24 […]
Vol. 1 was one of the biggest surprises I read last year, and one of my favorite titles as a result. I thought I knew what to expect from the series, and writer James Tynion IV, going in only to be completely wrong. This left me excited to see what the writer, and artist Alvaro […]
The title character is an undertaker/bounty hunter who is wandering through the dusty land when he comes across a village that is also the site of a massacre. As he buries the bodies left to rot there, he’s informed by a kinsman that there’s one survivor, a baby, to this event. Though he initially refuses […]
It’s a new era for the Justice League! How do they celebrate it? By helping Black Adam beat up a superpowered invader to his home country of Khandaq. This invader goes by the name Brutus, and while there’s nothing unusual about his goals, there is something about his powers. Namely that they have the same […]
“Judgment Day” may have been the final part of Kieron Gillen’s “Eternals” storyline, but it’s not the last of it. That would be this collection which bundles the three one-shots he wrote – “Thanos Rises,” “Celestia,” and “The Heretic” – along with some old “Eternals” stories from the late 70’s to pad out the page […]
