Harrow County Omnibus One by Tyler Crook - Review
.png?w=50)
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 »
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 »
Helen of Wyndhorn #1 by Tom King - Review
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 »

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 »
