There is a dedication to storytelling that is so evident on every page that even at this length, it’s impossible to put down until the very last panel.

By Guest Author May 8, 2020

Swamp 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.

By Duna Haller May 7, 2020

Varus #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.
