Helen of Wyndhorn #1 by Tom King - Review
.png?w=50)
So here it is, the opening sequence for one of the series highlights of this comic year.That much is clear. It was clear even before we saw the first images.It was enough for Tom King and Bilquis Evely to announce that they were writing a new series together. Because after Supergirl: Woman of... more »
Feral #1 by Tony Fleecs - Review
Tony Fleecs, Trish Forstner, Tone Rodriguez and Brad Simpson are back with Feral!And - spoiler! - they are as good as ever!Her first masterpiece Stray Dogs was a late but all the more thrilling discovery for me.If you have the nosiness and stamina, you are welcome to scroll through my Insta and... more »
Night People #1 by Chris Condon
Chris Condon has set himself some ambitious goals with Night People. Over four issues with a changing creative team, he adapts Barry Gifford’s (influential American author, best known for Wild at Heart and the Sailor and Lula series) short story collection into comic form.First of all, the approach... more »
Hack/Slash: Back to School #3 - Review
Zoe Thorogood’s Hack/Slash: Back to School is probably one of the craziest comic series I’ve read in recent times. And definitely the best approach I’ve come across so far to merge two comic worlds together: horror manga and western comics.With issue #3 in particular, Thorogood shows... more »
The Deviant #4 by James Tynion IV - Review
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 »
