Universal Monsters: Frankenstein #1 by Michael Walsh
.png)
All titles in the Universal Monsters line have (at least this) one thing in common: the first issue always feels too short.Not „too short“, in the sense of badly edited or rushed, but more like a good pop song that you want to put on repeat, or better still, like the first episode of a... more »
Paranoid Gardens #2 by Gerard Way - Review
Paranoid Gardens is definitely the strangest, wackiest and most surreal series in my pullbox right now, and it captivates me like magic.But why does it captivate me so much, even though issue #2 only confuses me even more. Although, it’s not even that. Gerard Way and Shaun Simon don’t actually... more »
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Nightwatcher #1 by Juni Ba
I like what IDW is doing with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise.Not to say it needed a freshen-up but, yeah, it kinda needed a freshen-up. No complete makeover but a few new influences, new authors, new approaches, a fresh wind, a few people from the outside who see New York from more than... more »
Hellverine #3 by Benjamin Percy - Review
Hellverine is dark.Truly dark.Sinister. Powerful. Loud. The roaring loud. Fast. Fiery...Yes, sorry, I can only think of metalhead cliché vocabulary. Because that’s what Hellverine #3 is: Metal!While reading, riffs are already forming and coalescing with the double bass drum.The story about... more »
Ultimate Spider-Man #7 by Jonathan Hickman - Review
The seventh issue of Ultimate Spider-Man introduces the new arc, and pleasantly enough it doesn’t do so with a big bang, but with a simmering, still calmly gliding storyline.Harry Osborne and Peter Parker get to know their new suits and (Doc) Otto Octavious, Oscorp’s resident brain, helps... more »
Something is Killing the Children #39 by James Tynion IV
Anyone who still had doubts at the beginning of this arc as to whether this episodic narrative style, in which each issue highlights a self-contained story from Erica’s past, will have to admit after Something is Killing the Children #39 at the lates: it works brilliantly.Tynion IV uses this... more »
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 by Jason Aaron - Review
So it’s the Turtles‘ turn, with the Aaron reboot.I’m already wondering whether it’s the same in all publishing house meetings: "Guys, we need a makeover for our superheroes." - "hm, ponder, ponder" - "..." - "..." - "What’s... more »
The Invincible Iron Man #20 by Gerry Duggan - Review
All good things must end.And the best things end with a worthy epilogue.With The Invincible Iron Man #20, the final issue of Gerry Duggan’s run about a very vulnerable, very human Tony Stark, facing one of his biggest life crises and how he overcame it, he once again shows us the full... more »
Public Domain #6 by Chip Zdarsky - Reviw
Finally, Chip Zdarsky’s Public Domain is back. Issue #6 continues what the first arc started so strikingly.You can recognize good, impactful comic series by the fact that even after a long break, just a few panels are enough to suck you back into its world. And that’s exactly what... more »
Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #1 by Gerry Duggan
I don’t know exactly what I was expecting, but after all the choruses and praise Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #1 got after its release, I was kind of expecting more.That’s not to say I didn’t like the intro issue to Gerry Duggan and Garry Brown’s new series. No, no, on... more »
