‘Jim Henson’s Labyrinth: Masquerade #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Lara Elena Donnelly | Art by Various | Published by Boom Studios Being honest, I had no idea that comics based on Jim Henson’s properties was a thing. Sure, I know about the various attempts at Muppet related stuff, but not much else. When this book showed up in my every-other-day scroll through […]

‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chosen Ones #1’ Review

by Dean Fuller

Written by Mairghread Scott | Art by Ornella Savarese | Published by Boom Studios To everyone of a certain age, Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a special place in their heart.

Written by Ryan Parrott | Art by Eleonora Carlini, Francesco Mortarino | Published by Boom Studios There aren’t many more recognisable characters in modern pop culture than the Power Rangers.

by Dan Clark

‘Victor LaValle’s Destroyer #2’ Review

by Dan Clark

Written by Victor LaValle | Art by Dietrich Smith | Published by Boom! Studios Victor LaValle’s Destroyer #2 has the makings of a good comic but some of the execution was off-putting and at times even upsetting. Two issues in and it is still unclear who exactly the protagonist of this story is or what fully is […]

‘Bill and Ted Save the Universe #1’ Review

by Dan Clark

Written by Brian Joines | Art by Bachan | Published by Boom! Studios When Bill and Ted’s first film was released I doubt anyone thought it would exist in any form nearly thirty years later. By no means is it a timeless concept. Bill and Ted are two characters very much of a specific time and place. […]

‘Victor LaValle’s Destroyer #1’ Review (Boom Studios)

by Dan Clark

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 […]

‘WWE #5’ Review (Boom Studios)

by Dan Clark

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 […]
