Ant-Man #1 review So here's the thing, the internet is cruel beast sometimes, how is this your problem, you ask? We'll answer that when you're trying to escape Skynet in 2029, but for the time being, my initial review for Ant-Man #1 was completely deleted when the site crashed last night, sooooo... you now get the abridged version. Could be a win either way I guess. Ant-Man … [Read more...]
The Valiant #1. What’s a Geomancer?
The Valiant #1 review I wish I was a bigger Valiant fan, then I would know if Valiant actually does "epics" that often, because The Valiant #1 is supposed to be just that. And surprised to say I just found out before writing this review that it's actually only going to be a four issue mini series. Quite the opposite of epic if you ask me, but no matter, let's dig into just how … [Read more...]
Bitch Planet #1. Caged and Enraged!
Bitch Planet #1 Bring on the sexploitation plots of the 60's and 70's in Kelly Sue's latest book, Bitch Planet #1. I love almost all of Kelly Sue DeConnick's work, from Ghost to Captain Marvel she's always impressive, but I like to compare her also to Maude Lebowski with her work being strongly vaginal. Bitch Planet #1 does have some feminist undertones and it's definitely … [Read more...]

Spider-Woman #1 Review The Spider-Verse is in full swing and completely blowing my mind, but probably not in the way you would think.

So many spidermens so little time, but one spider with the support of her popularity has managed to spread her web wings and branch out on her own, no not the … [Read more...]
Deep State #1. It Came from Russia with Love
Deep State #1 review Man, I'm still chuckling at my title I gave this Deep State #1 review, "It Came from Russia with Love", brilliant. So why the James Bond pun? How about nothing about James Bond is related to Deep State, but the horror title moniker "It Came From" is where we'll rest most of the emphasis. Conspiracy theories are real, while some hold more water than … [Read more...]
Tooth and Claw #1. Animal People.
Tooth and Claw #1 review In the back of Tooth and Claw #1, its writer Kurt Busiek has a funny little piece where he's interacting with his creative team for the first time describing Tooth and Claw as a "sprawling fantasy series about animal people". He would love to divulge more information and you can hear his excitement in wanting to describe this magical world, but the … [Read more...]
Sabrina #1. The Lovelorn Teenage Witch.
Sabrina #1 review Everyone's favorite teenage witch finally gets her own ongoing series in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina #1. Don't be fooled though, this isn't your sweet and funny girl next door portrayed by Melissa Joan Hart in the Sabrina The Teenage Witch sitcom of the early 2000's, this is a much darker Sabrina stemming from the pages of Afterlife with … [Read more...]
