Marvel: Ultimates #1 by Deniz Camp - Review
.png?w=50)
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 »
Blood Hunt: Red Band #2 by Jed McKay
On we go with the Blood Hunt, this time with the Red Band edition, since I am totally appropriate audience.The little collector in me just didn’t have the heart to tear off the foil on issue #1 and therefore made do with the PG version.But the little collector in me now keeps his mouth shut and... more »
Ain't No Grave #1 by Skottie Young

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.

Uncanny Valley #1 by Tony Fleecs
Tony Fleecs, co-creating mastermind of Stray Dogs and its derivatives, and Dave Wachter, one of my current favorite artists (especially since his take on the Planet of the Apes), are doing a series 'Uncanny Valley' together.What could go wrong?Based on my reading experience of Uncanny Valley #1,... more »
Poison Ivy #21 by G. Willow Wilson - Review
Every time I close another issue of this series and feel the instant urge to tell everyone about this reading experience, this perfect escape, the first thing I mumble to myself out loud, accompanied by a satisfied, yet always a little astonished look on my face: Brilliant!Usually followed by a louder... more »
Batman Dark Age by Mark Russell #1 - Review
Now this is exactly why Mark Russell is one of my favorite authors, period.Sorry to start with a conclusion but I really had to get that off my chest.So, Mark Russell is writing a new Batman story.But not just any story, no, it has to be an origin story. Daring, especially because Batman: Dark Age is... more »
