The Deviant #4 by James Tynion IV - Review
.png?w=50)
What an intense, what a brilliant read James Tynion IV and Joshua Hixson’s The Deviant is. If this comic series doesn’t win any award at the next Eisner, then I don’t know what will.As I’ve mentioned (at least once) before, I’m really a sensitive, not to say wimpy reader... more »
U & I #1 by J. Michael Straczynski - Review
The Resistance Universe is still new territory for me, but I thought, after a couple of lastingly impressive (re-)encounters with Straczynski recently, I’d just take the opportunity and try my beginnings with U & I #1.For all those who have just as little or even less idea what the Resistance... more »
John Constantine: Hellblazer - Dead in America #1 - Review
Another comic that reminded me that I wanted to catch up a bit. Like John Constantine: Hellblazer, for example.With Dead in America issue #1, Simon Spurrier and Aaron Campbell continue their John Constantine: Hellblazer series and, as the title suggests, Constantine, along with his friend Nat and son Noah... more »
Avengers Twilight #1 by Chip Zdarsky - Review
Even though I don’t count myself among the Avengers readers, I couldn’t let Avengers: Twilight #1 pass me by. Firstly because Chip Zdarsky writes. And secondly, Daniel Acuna takes care of the artwork.(Third, as a cherry on top: that wonderful pop-culture pun by Skottie Young on the... more »
Animal Pound by Tom King #1 - Review
Reading Tom King comics is like reading an opulently illustrated novel.So it doesn't seem at all unusual that he is now adapting George Orwell's Animal Farm. And here, how could it be otherwise, he excels again. Because Animal Pound #1, the first of 4 issues, is not just a copy or a transcript in a modern... more »
Masterpiece by Brian Michael Bendis - Review
They had me at Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev. I didn't even know what their new project was about before I read it just now.And it looks as if this writer-artist dream team will once again deliver another great piece of comic. Masterpiece #1 was certainly a great start.Thanks to Maleev's as... more »
Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight #1 by Jeff Parker - Review (Christmas Special)
When it comes to Christmas specials, it's always better not to expect anything. This applies to the special Christmas episode of your favorite sitcom just as much as it does to your beloved Ongoings. Though if you do expect something, better expect a bunch of kitsch, magic and corny love stories.As I... more »
Wonder Woman #4 by Tom King - Review
If I hadn't already been a loyal follower of Tom King for a long time, I would have been after the last two recent DC Runs under his qill, The Penguin and above all this Wonder Woman spectacular!This here is pure literature, comic craftsmanship at its finest. And I'm not just referring to King's... more »
The Holy Roller #1 by Rick Remender -Review
This holy alliance between comic mastermind Rick Remender, actor and comedian Andy Samberg, and musician, producer and creative mind Joe Trohman could have gone exactly two ways. Either a total failure or a total gem.Spoiler alert: The latter is the case.Because what this three-writer team served up... more »
Batman: Off-World #1 by Jason Aaron - Review
The great Jason Aaron writes his first Batman.And the equally great Doug Mahnke draws it.You immediately have to think it's great.Or, if you belong to the fundamentally critical faction, you'll be disappointed straight away. Before the read.I tend to be one of those who applaud more reservedly, the... more »
