Written by James Venhaus | Art by Pius Bak | Published by IDW Oh what could have been? One of the most shocking elements of the final issue of this series is that is the final issue. The first two issues were great building to something really impressive. Then with this final issue a marathon is suddenly […]
Written by Brian K. Vaughan | Art by Fiona Staples | Published by Image Comics Saga is easily the most decorated book currently going today and will probably go down as the greatest book of this current generation. Still, even with that I would argue it is can be under appreciated. It is a victim of […]
Written by Jody Houser | Art by Joe Eisma | Published by Valiant Faith has been gaining notoriety both outside and inside of her book so it was only a matter of time before she would be facing off against her first evil superhero team.

Written by Mark Millar | Art by Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion | Published by Image Comics Looking at the creative team and concept of Reborn it had the ability to be a great series but it never reached the height of its potential. While reading this series I can see the wheels spinning in Miller’s head with all […]
Written by Daniel Warren Johnson | Art by Daniel Warren Johnson | Published by Image Comics Daniel Warren Johnson has made quite the book with Extremity. He has been able to create this vast creative world full of its own distinctive history. That world building has not taken away from any of the entertainment as the […]
Youngblood #2 Written by Chad Bowers | Art by Jim Towe | Published by Image Comics Youngblood #2 is an improvement from the first issue but still suffers from many of the same demoralizing issues. Two issues in the narrative is still impenetrable for anyone who is still not well versed in the lore of […]
Grass Kings #3 Written by Matt Kindt | Art by Tyler Jenkins | Published by Boom Studios Matt Kindt and Tyler Jenks are building something special with Grass Kings. This is a book with so much unique character to it. Only three issues in and this world already has a lot of texture due in large part […]
Written by Victor LaValle | Art by Dietrich Smith | Published by Boom! Studios Basing your comic off a classic literary character takes a good amount of gumption. You are taking a character everyone is well aware of and trying to put your own spin in it, but if your spin too far off you […]
Written by Dennis Hopeless, Ross Thibodeaux | Art by Serg Acuna, Rob Guillory | Published by Boom Studios At first glance, the idea of a WWE comic seems pretty absurd. It is not super surprising it exists as we live in a world where any licensed property is bound to have some version of a comic, but […]
Generation X #2 Written by Christina Strain | Art by Amilcar Pinna | Published by Marvel Comics When looking at recent relaunch of all the X-Men titles there is no question what the weakest link is so far and that is Generation X. So far it is a series that is severely lacking its own […]
Written by Nick Spencer | Art by Andrea Sorrentino, Rod Reis | Published by Marvel Comics When Secret Empire #0 debuted I was amazed by how much was packed into the first issue.

Written by Mariko Tamaki | Art by Nico Leon | Published by Marvel Comics I give writer Mariko Tamaki a lot of credit because it could not have been easy to pitch a Hulk story that did not have Hulk into it until the sixth issue. I cannot think of another situation quite like this […]
Written by Gerry Duggan | Art by Matteo Lolli | Published by Marvel Comics Way back when Steve Rogers was killed at the end of Civil War (Spoiler!) Marvel used that moment to showcase just how important of a character he was to the universe. They took the time to show just how many characters […]

In this issue we see Sam Wilson is the heart and soul of this story. […]

Written by James Robinson | Art by Carlos Pacheco | Published by Marvel Comics So when is an introduction not actually needed?

Written by Chad Bowers, Rob Liefeld | Art by: Jim Towe, Rob Liefeld | Published by Image Comics Currently, 90’s nostalgia is higher than it has even been before. We have shows like X-Files, Twin Peaks, and Rosanne all getting new seasons, and not to mention the fact Beauty and the Beast and Jurassic World are […]
Written by Ed Brubaker | Art by Sean Philips | Published by Image Comics The use of first person narration is often looked down upon by people. Some say it is a lazy way to provide information or exposition about a story. It is typically more accepted in the crime genre because it is an […]
Written by Jonathan Hickman | Art by Nick Dragotta | Published by Image Comics There is this phenomenon known as the ‘Runners High’ that occurs in long distance running, where your body basically rewards you for the physical demands and punishment you are putting it through.
