Wire Hangers #2 review

Alan Robert’s Wire Hangers #2 Life of Agony bassist Alan Robert becomes a comic book creator with his inaugural work, Wire Hangers. This four part series is a dark tale of conspiracies, vigilantes, cops, feds, homeless freaks, nosey reporters and gore. Alan Robert is the writer and artist of this twisted series. The artwork stands out immediately. The book is drawn to be admired. Reminiscent of Ben... [Read more]

X-Force #26 review

X-Force #26 review Chapter Five of this epic 14 issue crossover delivers some shocks and develops this exciting story. Second Coming spans every X-title and each series is authored by their respective writer. With such a diverse talent pool, maintaining a tightly plotted story should be tough. So far, the X-authors are up to the challenge. Writers Craig Kyle and Chris Yost deliver one of the best X-Men... [Read more]

We Will Bury You #1 review

We Will Bury You #1 review I was already looking forward to Choker when I walked into the comic book shop, so the Templesmith-esque cover of We Will Bury You from IDW caught my eye. The zombie cover, that is actually from the pencil of Ben Templesmith, is the highlight of the issue. The story takes place in 1927 and the form-fitting collared shirt and pants outfit of our dykie heroin Fanya seem completely... [Read more]

Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island

Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island #1 review One glance at the cover of Warren Ellis and Raulo Caceres’ Captain Swing and the Electrical Pirates of Cindery Island and I was hooked. This book oozes sci-fi coolness. Beautifully drawn and richly colored comic pages quickly immerse the reader into Ellis’ version of 1830 London. Two competing police forces, the Bobbies... [Read more]

Batman and Robin #8 review Grant Morrison continues to weave together a unique era in the Batman mythos. For timeless characters like Batman, it’s tough to come up with something original. Like it or hate it, Morrison is delivering something new. Dick Grayson, Batwoman, the Knight and the Squire gather at a Lazurus Pit under the streets of London, and await the resurrection of Bruce Wayne. In a smart... [Read more]
