The Deviant #1 by James Tynion IV - Review
.png?w=50)
James Tynion IV and Joshua Hixson's The Deviant #1 has all the potential to become my most masochistic read of 2023.Because it brings exactly that kind of horror that crawls under my skin and gives me itchy day and nightmares for weeks. And I don't like it. I don't enjoy the scare like some people do.I... more »
Wonder Woman #2 by Tom King and Daniel Sampere
Tom King and Daniel Sampere prove to be a first-class team in the second issue of their joint Wonder Woman project as well. First and foremost, Wonder Woman #2 is dramaturgically brilliant.Rarely have I seen such a harmonious juxtaposition of suspenseful, epic action and quiet, prosaic character study.... more »
The Penguin #3 by Tom King - Review
Oh, I seriously enjoy Tom King's and Rafael de Latorre's Penguin noir.In issue #3 we watch Godfather Penguin collecting, gathering the members of his new team, his new Goons.I always enjoy these recruitment scenes, an element mostly used in gangster or heist movies.Getting to know the members, watching... more »
Dark Spaces: Dungeon #1 by Scott Snyder
Oh my, this is going to give me really bad bad dreams.And yet, this is probably what scares me most, I can’t stop reading. With Dark Spaces: Dungeon #1, Scott Snyder once again takes over the writing himself in his anthology series. And how he does it! To call it a spine-chilling tale would be... more »
Hack/Slash: Back To School #1 by Zoe Thorogood
Well, I never imagined that I would read a Hack/Slash comic. And especially not to find it superb.I have always avoided the Hack/Slash franchise. For obvious slasher and splatter horror reasons.A little bit of creepiness, okay. If the story is good, maybe a little more horror. But bloodbaths, excessive... more »
The Invincible Iron Man #11 by Gerry Duggan
The Invincible Iron Man is probably the most Marvelian series that can actually consistently excite me. In my well-filling pullbox, there are currently really only two Marvel ongoings that manage to do that.Anyone who reads my output carefully (and I assume you all do) will know that Marvel titles... more »
Saga #66 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples
No one has mastered playing with readers' expectations like Brian K. Vaughan. Which he once again proves quite brilliantly with Saga #66, the last part of this arc and the last issue of the series in 2023.Actually, with every turn of the page, we get another "Well, now - now someone beloved's going to... more »
Harley Quinn #32 by Tini Howard and Sweeney Boo
Okay, please let's just not talk about Harley's Knight Terrors anymore. Let's just wrap it in a pink cloth of silence and devote ourselves to this wonderful piece of comics, the return to the ongoing daily grind with Harley Quinn #32.So Harley is now awake again. And back home. Which somehow is also... more »
Review - Predator vs. Wolverine #1 by Benjamin Percy
There are crossovers where at their announcement alone the inner child high-fives the adult comic reader and whoops: Awesome!And sometimes two adult comic readers with inner children stand at the short box in the store when this issue arrives, flip through it and whoop: Awesome!And then one of those... more »
Poison Ivy #14 by G. Willow Wilson - Review
No idea how G. Willow Wilson does it, but she does.For 14 issues (and 2 Knight Terrors) straight, she has consistently kept the level at its highest.I don't think there's a series I'm enjoying more right now than Poison Ivy. As soon as one of these magical covers appears while I'm doing the check-in... more »
