The Picture of Everything Else #1
The Picture of Everything Else #1 (Watters, Mohan, Bidikar) is an artistic tour de force soaked in blood, booze, terror, and homoerotic longing. Ending on a chilling cliffhanger, this is certainly a book worth keeping up with.
DetailsDC’s Very Merry Multiverse: “It’s a Horrible Life!”
“It’s A Horrible Life!” in DC’s Very Merry Multiverse #1 (Scheer, Giovanetti, Lieber, Louise, and Mangual) is a darkly comical take on a Christmas classic. All of its jokes don’t land, but it’s fun while it lasts: great if you want more Harley Quinn and less seasonal schmaltz.
DetailsDie #15
Die #15 (@kierongillen @HansStephanie and @ClaytonCowles) isn’t only vibrant & violent but vital. Cathartic. Die begs us to run away, yet forces us to rethink our very act escapism & confront the confinement and mortality we’d hoped to leave behind.
DetailsTartarus #6
Tartarus #6 (@j_xmas @AndrewKrahnke @Hilzjenkins @CampbellLetters) is a compelling start to the book’s second arc. While verging on cliché, the story is well-paced and provocative. The dynamic, vibrant art by the new artistic team is a delight. #ImageComics

Enjoy this chat with @PeterRicq about this DELIGHTFUL new Kickstarter, GHOSTS ARE PEOPLE TOO. A wonderful family book that won’t let down any backers! #Spookyseason @SuperFanPR
DetailsTartarus #5
While Tartarus #5 (@j_xmas @NewJackCole, @campbellletters) may focus on an eclipse, neither writing nor art eclipses the other. Bursting with intricate twists and elaborate art, it’s an ambitious albeit flawed ending to a fascinating first arc. Where will Tartarus take Tilde next?
DetailsKing of Nowhere #5
King of Nowhere #5 (Prince, Jenkins, Jenkins, Andworld Design) finishes this series as it began: hard to put down due to a constant hope that it might improve. Yet, lovable characters and the book’s off-kilter artistic brilliance remain undercut by its unbalanced story and uninteresting protagonist.
DetailsHedra (One-Off)
Hedra ( @jesselonergans ) is a beautifully rendered, retrofuturistic tale that reminds readers that there is always hope even in the grimmest of circumstances.
DetailsBig Girls #1
In Big Girls #1 (Howard, Fonografiks), 300-foot-tall Ember fights against the patriarchy-as-kaiju. Yet, Howard’s bioessentialist metaphor is battling itself, as is his striking yet simultaneously underwhelming art. One can only hope Big Girls comes into its own with time.
DetailsSpace Bear OGN
Space Bear (Young) may be silent, but it has a big story to tell. It’s a vibrant, charming sci-fi about communication and compassion that offers children a chance to learn, while giving comic-loving adults a way to share a medium they love. It’s also plain good fun.
DetailsTartarus #4
In Tartarus #4 (Christmas, Cole, and Campbell), every character is forced to question what sacrifices are worth making. For readers, it’s more than worth sacrificing $4 and an hour of one’s day to read such a beautifully executed book.
