A violent platypus, a cursed skeleton and ghost ninjas who really aren’t that bad, are they? It must be Issue 4 of Shutter. Shutter #4: Because of course an angry platypus I’d like to tell you that events in Issue 4 of Shutter escalate quickly, but I’m not sure this story has ever actually…
If Nailbiter 3 left us hanging off the edge by our fingertips, Nailbiter 4 chomped the ends of our fingers off and let us fall. This is some seriously deranged work….. Why aren’t you reading it already?! NailBiter #4: If You Go Down To The Graveyard Today…. Clichéd stories are usually terrible. Clichéd stories that…
ANDERSON’S BACKSTORY AND GUNS, BLAM, BLAM! Sorry, sorry, it’s just hard to form complete sentences after finishing Issue 11 of Ghosted. TO THE REVIEW! Ghosted Issue 11- Anderson’s Backstory As you may have gathered from the excited ramblings that began this article, Issue 11 of Ghosted covers the backstory of Anderson. We met Anderson all…
If there was a list of things to turn you off your steak, Nailbiter Issue 2 is definitely on that list and fairly high up. Even if it’s not “Silence of the Lambs” because Warren doesn’t even LIKE Chianti! Nailbiter Issue 2: Not ‘The Silence Of The Lambs’ In the first issue of Nailbiter, another brilliant offering…
With every issue of Shutter comes the overwhelming feeling that confusion is not only part of the deal, but an integral piece of the puzzle. That should be a negative, but with this team behind it, it really shouldn’t be any other way. Am I talking in riddles? Probably. But then, everything in the Shutter…
Shutter Issue 2 is as beautiful as it is confusing and it’s really, really beautiful. Picture a futuristic Animalia, where all the robots look suspiciously like they escaped from the Jetsens’ universe. Throw in the Dark Crystal from The Dark Crystal and you have a basic idea of what this issue of Shutter contains. Confused?…
Women vomiting crows, bullets that ruin everything and a tender moment between Jackson Winters and a blood-thirsty demon. Issue 10 of Ghosted is exactly the way you thought it would be, if you were Joshua Williamson, if you aren’t him you probably didn’t see that coming. Ghosted #10: End of the Blood Crow Arc Ten…
There are no bears in Issue 9 of Ghosted. But plenty of other angry beasts ready to tear Winters apart and that’s my kind of forest! We delve into the memory that made Winters such a cold customer, see a comic book artist really shine and some people get possessed. This is Ghosted, not a…
A new character to welcome, people-mushrooms and enough adult references you could drown in them? Has to be another issue of The Rat Queens. The Rat Queens: Still Hate Gary There’s something for everyone in The Rat Queens. As long as you’re one of the everyones who doesn’t mind foul language and mentions of…
Whoa….Whoa, just….whoa…. In the words of Ron Burgundy “That escalated quickly.” If there’s one thing I love to see more than Jackson Winters being punched in the face, it’s seeing him say something witty to someone who will punch him in the face. Issue 8 has enough of both. (Okay, technically no ‘punching’, but he…
Ahahahahaaaaa….This issue of Ghosted is by far the most hilarious. I mean, not in the funny ha-ha way of Louis CK. But at the same time, I chuckled a few times because Jackson Winters is a jerk and I like that the debt he owes the Universe is being paid back in installments. Ghosted #7:…
If you didn’t pick up the first five issues of Ghosted, then you’re a fool. A damn fool, I say! But a lucky fool because even if you can only lay your hands on Issue 6, you’re still going to be in with one hell of a ride. Without needing to know massive amounts of the…
Do you want to hear a scary story? Yes you do, because Halloween should be every day and there’s only so many episodes of Dexter and Hannibal that you can watch, am I right? Nailbiter from Image is right up your alley and it’s about to crawl under your skin. Comic Review: Nailbiter #1 You know…
The first issue in a comic book series is the most important. Yes, character development. Yes, intricate storylines. Yes, artwork that continues to amaze. Those are all important things that don’t happen in the first issue because you need time to develop, to grow and to continue. The first issue has nothing to build on,…
Oh my glob! And your glob! And all the globs in all the Universes! 2014 is going to be a good year. You know how I know? Because the latest Rat Queens is like if Warhammer and Tank Girl were stitched together in the laboratory of a mad professor somewhere! Which is not unlike that…
