Judge Dredd Progs 2174-2175
Judge Dredd progs 2174-2175 (Edginton, D’Israeli, Parkhouse) is one wild ride. It’s a wacky story that is sure to entertain and although it may not be your all-time favorite Dredd story, it’s an honestly fun time that doesn’t drag on or overstay its welcome by any means.
DetailsALPHA FLIGHT #2 (1983)
Alpha Flight #2 (1983), (John Byrne &Andy Yanchus) Team building is required, but is it enough to why Marrina has gone mad and is lashing out? What is causing her unexpected behavior?
DetailsSwamp Thing: New Roots #2
The creative team utilizes their firm understanding of the character for a heartfelt, albeit inconsequential, story in Swamp Thing: New Roots #2 (Russell, Santucci, Kalisz, Sharpe) that once again explores the outside perspective of the life and death cycle that Swamp Thing experiences. It’s not perfect, but it’s worth your time.
DetailsLast Song (2017) #1
Last Song (2017) #1 (Interlandi, Cantirino): Get ready for a vibrant deep read, as this 60-pages issue will pull your attention to it by its original and punk-ish art and sincere and relevant writing and characters.
DetailsPlanetary #7
Planetary #7 (Ellis, Cassaday, Baron, Cline) is a love letter and more to Vertigo, that much is certain, but amidst the fond remembrance of a beloved character and publisher we also find unique character moments that allow the issue to flourish.
DetailsAsk for Mercy Vol. 1
Ask for Mercy Vol. 1 (Starkings, Harding) Richard Starkings and Abigail Jill Harding have discovered a great recipe with mixing science fiction, horror, and history. Ask for Mercy Vol. 1 will have you salivating for more!
DetailsVarus #2: Retribution
In Varus #2: Retribution (McNeill, Rudy), the main conflict of vengeance versus self-healing is an engaging and brilliant one, with a great ending, but the execution nonetheless relies on tropes about mental illness that I hope we leave behind as we understand better what fantastical metaphors mean for real people.
DetailsEmpty Zone #5
It’s simply remarkable how Alexander and the rest of the team have found such an uncanny ability to blend horror and sci-fi with such a haunting tale of self-forgiveness, bringing a tragic yet somehow freeing conclusion to the first arc in Empty Zone #5 (Alexander, NCT, Jackson).
DetailsPlanetary #6
The historical alignment of Planetary #6 (Ellis, Cassaday, Depuy, Fuchs) helps to frame an interesting dynamic regarding the prominence of superheroes at the time and the never-ending search for greater power and influence, distilling the importance of the superhero genre into a sci-fi story with real relevance.
DetailsNinjak #10
Ninjak #10 (Kindt, Braithwaite, Ryp, Reber) is an excellent “fish out of water” story that doesn’t lean on a trope to find meat to the story. It’s also a fantastic issue for a new reader to learn more about the expansive Valiant universe without being overwhelmed.
DetailsParasyte: The Maxim
Parasyte: The Maxim Season 1 was decently paced and offered several good scenes of terror, gore, and action. If you are looking for a gritty, psychologically tinged anime with varying levels of violence and a likable protagonist, this would be a good one to check out.
DetailsFlash #753 (Williamson, Porter, Peterson, Hi-Fi) ups the stakes considerably, and doesn’t let off the throttle as it speeds toward “Flash Age’s” conclusion. Been let down by the current lackluster season of the CW’s Flash? The real deal in comics form is the antidote!
