Zatanna: Bring Down The House #1 by Mariko Tamaki - Review
.png)
Alright. I’m gonna start this off with the most obvious pun I could do for Zatanna: Bring Down The House #1. But this comes closest to describe the impact. So:Javier Rodriguez’s artwork is pure magic! My previous relationship with Zatanna was actually rather mediocre. For me, she was always more... more »
Uncle Scrooge and the Infinity Dime by Jason Aaron - Review
Ever since the first Amazing Spider-Man Disney100 variant, hopes were high and we all somehow realized that a MarvelxWalt Disney crossover wouldn't be too long in coming.It may have taken a bit more waiting than expected, but now the much-anticipated issue, Jason Aaron's one-shot Uncle Scrooge and the... more »
Precious Metal #1 by Darcy Van Poelgeest - Review
The art of entertainment?The entertainment of art?Yes, exactly, Precious Metal #1, the opening sequence to the descendant of Little Bird is both.One thing up front, Little Bird may be chiseled in and traced with a sharpie at the top of my reading list, but I’ve actually plunged virginally into... more »
Marvel: Ultimates #1 by Deniz Camp - Review
I liked it. Ultimates #1 is a very entertaining layer cake that brings a lot of world without being too much to comprehend.One thing first, for those wondering, you don’t need any prior knowledge of either the old Ultimates or what’s been going on in Marvel’s Ultimate Universe... more »
Grommets #1 by Rick Remender - Review
With Rick Remender’s new mini-series, it really didn’t take more than a few preview pages from the publisher and the first few words of the teaser to make Grommets land directly in my subscription list.And now that it’s finally on my desk, it really only took a few panels filled with... more »

Ain't No Grave #1 by Skottie Young
I’m sure I wasn’t the only one looking forward with slightly nervous anticipation to Ain't No Grave #1, the prelude to Skottie Young and Jorge Corona’s new series.After all, since Middlewest and The Me You Love In The Dark, the team has been known for captivating entertainment with a sense... more »
Drawing Blood #1 by Kevin Eastman
It's always nice to see Kevin Eastman away from the New York sewers. In Drawing Blood #1, he and David Avallone tell an atmospheric thriller about an artist in crisis, well, multiple crises to be precise. Because when things are already going badly, bad things tend to magnetically attract even more bad... more »
Dick Tracy #1 by Alex Segura and Michael Moreci - Review
Dick Tracy.Dick Tracy is to blame.For my everlasting love of detective noir stories.For my undying passion for hard-boiled crime fiction.For my weakness for all that cliché-loving American detective stuff.It’s funny how such reboots not only make you nostalgic and reminisce about the past,... more »
Harrow County Omnibus One by Tyler Crook - Review
No single issue on the table this week.Which is because of these wonderfully gruesome stories from Harrow County.And the gift and curse of working at a comic shop. Where you stumble across a special opportunity to fish something new out of the endless sea of comics at least once a day.As happened with... more »
