  • Victor LaValle’s Destroyer #4

      I’m honestly at a loss for words for where to start with Victor LaValle’s Destroyer. I really, really liked the book, don’t get me wrong. But man, is it an insane story. A spiritual sequel to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Destroyer is a modern horror story with the endless...
  • Sisters of Sorrow #2 Review

      Last month, Sisters of Sorrow #1 caught me off guard with its narrative. The story of a close knit group of friends in a women’s shelter, Sisters of Sorrow is a story of revenge and vigilantism, showing the titular sisters deciding to kill a crooked cop who had...

  • GodShaper #5 Review

      You may have guessed this from reading my older reviews, but I like diving into a comic halfway through it’s run for the first time and seeing how much I can figure out. Growing up reading comics in the 90s, I’m somewhat accustomed to having to figure out...

  • Sisters of Sorrow #1 Review

    Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy, Lucas Stand) and Courtney Alameda (Shutter, Pitch Dark) have created a tale of revenge and violence that feels so raw, so emotional. Set in Los Angeles, the occupants of a non-profit women’s shelter are attacked one night and find themselves covering up a murder....
  • Spider-Man II Issue 1 Review

    It’s been a long five years since the surprise mini-series Spider-Men dropped. That five-issue mini, also written by Brian Michael Bendis (New Avengers, Ultimate Spider-Man) and Sara Pichelli (Runaways, Ultimate Comics All-New Spider-Man) was a milestone occasion. For the first time ever, the Marvel and Ultimate universes collided as Miles...
  • Multiworst: Six of the darkest, bleakest, most despairing alternate Earths in comics

    There’s money in familiarity. In order to keep readers coming back for more, comic books tend to maintain the same basic status quo for characters for years, only making changes incredibly gradually or as part of a large event. This day and age, this is even more true as...
