Gleipnir
While the first episode of Gleipnir does pose an interesting concept and execute with impressive quality, there are themes present that feel forced and detract from the potential insight the story could pull off very quickly.
DetailsStar Trek Captains Log – Jellico
Star Trek Captains Log – Jellico (DeCandido, Woodward): A reflection of the damage of protocol, codes, meritocracy and a vertical scheme that looks at the flaws in Starfleet’s ideals. An interesting read, whether or not you like, dislike or know much about the character, but that will be enrichened from that previous knowledge.
DetailsFor the first time, the creative team of Lois Lane (Rucka, Perkins, Troy) comes up short in issue 10, larding this issue with unnecessary exposition for a character we barely know. It isn’t a complete disaster by any means, but is oddly out of character for such robust creators.
DetailsCatwoman #21
Catwoman #21 (Jones, Blanco) gives us Zombies, a brutal conclusion, and a road trip that leaves us wanting more.
DetailsFor Molly #2
For Molly (Cheng, Sawyer) is proving itself an interesting story with a mythos that captivates and captures the reader. Going now in their Kickstarter for issue #3, this second one provides us worldbuilding and designs filled with expressiveness, emotion, and strength.
DetailsSentient
You don’t have to be a sci-fi buff to get into Sentient (Lemire, Walta), as it’s a human drama above all else. The art sings and the central question at it’s heart – “Can machines learn to be human?” – will have you pondering this series for days after finishing.

DetailsBatman and Robin Annual #1
Batman and Robin Annual #1 (Tomasi, Syaf, Cifuentes, Kalisz, Mangual) is the type of comic that pulls you in with heartfelt relatability and holds on until the very last panel, making it impossible to not put the book down with a smile. For those who may still be looking for the heart behind Damian Wayne as Robin, this is a great place to start!
DetailsCase File nº221: Kabukicho

Such a promise is what brings Doctor John Watson to the establishment, looking for the slightly odd but unquestionably brilliant Sherlock Holmes. The good doctor and the unstoppable super sleuth travel all around Kabukicho, solving crimes ranging from vandalism, theft, and murder. They are often joined by the other members of Pipe Cat, as well as the well-informed street leader of Shinjuku, the young James Moriarty.
