The Wicked + The Divine #1 review I spent maybe 15 minutes staring at the blog screen thinking of how I could describe The Wicked + The Divine #1. How I could make sense of young immortal gods who don't actually live forever. Gods who don't have any actual powers or that are believed to have powers. Powers that could be nothing more than parlor tricks or the ability to inflict … [Read more...]
Infinity Man and the Forever People #1. Toss it into a boom tube.
Infinity Man and the Forever People #1 review Was anyone honestly anticipating Infinity Man and the Forever People #1? Was Infinity Man ever a "thing"? And I'm not talking about that hunk of a rock that's part of the Fantastic Four, but actually a real deal? I don't understand DC Comics logic sometimes. Infinity Man and the Forever People seems like a shot in the dark, betting … [Read more...]

Trees #1. Environmentally unfriendly.
Trees #1 review You remember the War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise, the one with the aliens who would gather all their nutrients from the Earth via strange veiney root system? Trees #1 is kind of like that, without the never aging Tom Cruise, death by bacteria, and any actual mobile aliens. Well, if it weren't for the actual "trees" that touch the sky and occasional spew out … [Read more...]
Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1. Why So Serious?
Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1 review Marvel Comics is taking out all of the stops bringing back classic, vintage, and forgotten characters of yesteryear. Unfortunately Shang-Chi, a character I sadly have never heard of, doesn't receive the comeback treatment in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu #1 I assume he deserves. Now since I had no previous frame of reference for Deadly Hands of … [Read more...]
The Woods #1. Initiating Test Protocol
The Woods #1 review High School is hard enough, but try having yours dropped on some random planet, er moon, sorry, full of flesh eating bat things and gawd only knows what else that's licking its chops and patiently waiting to hunt you down like your some delicious toy. The Woods #1 is exactly that, except some of these high schoolers don't feel like being bat guano without … [Read more...]
Southern Bastards #1. Walking Taller.
Southern Bastards #1 review Image Comics somehow brings out the grungiest, sci fi-est, darkest, and realest books on the market. Besides the sci fi-est word I just made up, Southern Bastards #1 is all of those things. A literal hard hitting book that will probably shake you to the core. Southern Bastards #1 brings Earl Tubb back to the small town he wanted to forget. His … [Read more...]
