Writer, designer, and cat parent to three little feline criminals, I am a lifelong lover of all things nerdy. I was raised on a steady diet of sci-fi, action, and horror, and I have an intense love of both comic books and films. My very first comic books were the Birds of Prey, and my favorite characters remain Black Canary and Oracle.
Goosebumps: The Horrors of the Witch House
Despite using the correct formula for a successful story, Goosebumps: Horrors of the Witch House (Tipton, Smith, Fenoglio, Pinto, Miesner) falls flat, having none of Stine’s spooky magic.
DetailsCrone #2
While the dive into Bliss’s past is intriguing, Crone #2 (Culver, Greenwood, Simpson, Brousseau) doesn’t quite hit the right notes for a strong continuation of the series.
DetailsTales From The Dark Multiverse: Infinite Crisis #1
Tales from the Dark Multiverse: Infinite Crisis #1 (Tynion, Lopresti, Ryan, Fajardo, Leigh) is a valiant effort to concisely tell a story that probably should have been broken up into multiple issues.
DetailsBasketful of Heads #2
A short, gut-punching issue which relies on the artist to lead the story, Basketful of Heads #2 (Hill, Leomas, Stewart, Bennett) is a strong continuation of a unique new miniseries.
DetailsOlympia #1
Olympia #1 (Pires, Diotto) is a valiant but somewhat futile effort to recapture the magic of childhood fantasy.
DetailsHeart Attack #1 (Kittelsen, Zawadzki, Garland, Brousseau)
Heart Attack #1 (Kittelsen, Zawadzki, Garland, Brousseau) is a politically charged, current events driven homage to both the X-Men and the real life struggle of minorities in America.
DetailsFamily Tree #1
With its unique premise and stand-out art style, Family Tree (Lemire, Hester) begins an interesting journey that displays what lengths a family will go to keep one of their own safe.
DetailsNomen Omen #2
Nomen Omen #2 (Bucci, Camagni) is a gloriously grotesque continuation of a stellar first issue. For fans of horror and fantasy, it is a must-read.
DetailsDragonfly & Dragonflyman #1
Dragonfly & Dragonflyman #1 (Peyer, Krause, Troy) is an issue that demands full attention, not just for its storytelling methods, but also for its overall message.
DetailsCrone #1
Crone #1 (Culver, Greenwood, Simpson, Brosseau) has a lot of potential, but it relies greatly on tropes and imagery from other staples of the sword and sorcery genre. Time will tell if this story escapes blending in too much with its predecessors.
DetailsNovember vol. 1
November vol. 1 (Fraction, Charretier, Hollingsworth, Ankeny) is a curious, well-written thriller that will leave readers wanting more from future volumes.
DetailsTales From The Dark Multiverse: Superman: The Death of Superman #1
Tales From The Dark Multiverse: The Death of Superman #1 (Loveness, Walker, Hennessy, Rapmund, Kalisz, Cowles) is a masterfully told tale of grief and human nature. Surely a stand-out issue of an overall enjoyable event.
