The Boys: Dear Becky #1 (Ennis, Braun, Avina) is a comic that feels ripped from a bygone era, and whether or not readers can stomach it given the world’s current climate is going to be a personal choice. The Boys remains as brutal and uncaring as ever, but now lacks the wink and sense of fun the original run had. And perhaps that, too, is a reflection of the times.
DetailsSix Million DolTPB
Six Million Dollar Man in Japan TPB (Hastings, Hahn, Kurichiyanil, Maher, Davisson) is better than your average licensed comic. Better. Stronger. Faster.
DetailsMagnus #1-5
Magnus #1-5 (Higgins, Fornes, O’Halloran, Esposito) brings something completely new and modern to the series with a moral dilemma that explores a fundamental relationship between humanity and artificial intelligence. For those looking for a sci-fi mystery thriller, this is definitely one you will want to read.
DetailsKilling Red Sonja #1
Killing Red Sonja #1 (Russell, Ingman, Rousseau, Kelly, Otsmane-Elhaou) gives readers little in the way to care about in either character or plot, and is further hampered by bland art.
DetailsRed Sonja #15
Red Sonja #15 (Russell, Q, Kelly, Otsmane-Elhaou) is an outstanding gateway to an exciting tale to come.
DetailsRed Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica #10
Red Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica #10 (Chu, Sanapo, Mohan) is an effective hot-summer-desert mood issue, but also a slow and storybuilding lacking one. The art really helps get in the mood of Drakulon, and it leaves us hoping for more as we move forward.
DetailsKISS: Zombies #4
KISS: Zombies (Sacks, Buchemi) keep things moving towards “the signal” and finding what caused the outbreak. Will they become Creatures Of The Night or will they survive this Psycho Circus that they are currently in?
DetailsRed Sonja #14
My only gripe about this comic is that it ended and I cant wait to add Red Sonja #14 (Russell, Q, Kelly, Otsmane-Elhaou) to my collection!
DetailsVampirella #8
The plot deepens in Vampirella #8 (Priest, Timpano, Gunduz, Schubert), a book that proves Priest is weaving a complex tale bringing in many different aspects of Vampirella’s origins while taking the character in a fresh new direction that isn’t afraid to take chances.
DetailsRed Sonja & Vampirella Meet Betty & Veronica #9
Solving last issue’s wormhole cliffhanger with style, you can almost listen to 70s music and smell popcorn and grease coming out of these pages. It’s surely a wild ride to the past.
DetailsJames Bond #3
James Bond (Ayala, Lore, D’Urso, Renna, Kurichiyanil) #3 is the most underwhelming Bond comic that I’ve read since Dynamite got the license. Disappointing, but not enough to change my opinion of this excellent series.
DetailsRed Sonja #13
As the focus finally returns to Queen Sonja the Red, the series once again finds its footing with an epic tale of conquest and consequence in Red Sonja #13 (Russell, Q, Kelly, Otsmane-Elhaou).
