The Penguin #3 by Tom King - Review
.png)
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 »
Knight Terrors: Detective Comics #2 by Dan Watters - Review
My admiration for Dan Watters continues to grow. I like his very prosaic style, his penchant for mysticism and dark fantasy. He likes to use cryptic metaphor and symbolism, but it is by no means off-putting. Generally, there are two reflex variations when I read stories that don't open up to me, that... more »
Review - Spider-Man #11 by Dan Slott
In fact, in the last two Spider-Man issues, despite all the fun I continued to have, skepticism spread a bit. I was (and still am a bit) unsure if Spider-Boy is a good invention. First and foremost, I feel the same way Spider-Man does, the idea of him getting a sidekick may not be palatable to me. He... more »
