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 »

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 »

Do we have free comics? Actually, yes we do!
You cannot type comics into Google without "free comics" being one of the first options that pops up. And I get it, times are tough, the world's money is split between fifteen accounts owned by three people, and not everyone has 2,000€ to spend on comics every month. And if you can, and... 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 »
