Review: ‘House Of Gold & Bones’ #2

With its premise already established, House Of Gold & Bones #2 pushes the narrative forward and focuses on its central protagonist. In his musical crossover to comics, Stone Sour’s Corey Taylor offers readers an nightmarish underbelly, which is quite appealing in the artwork. This is a thrilling read about the gripping fear of the unknown.

Review: ‘The New Ghostbusters’ #4

How many Ghostbusters does it take to bust some major ghosts? Normally, the answer is four. How many is too many? We find out in this finale to the first arc in The New Ghostbusters #4. Not surprisingly, this cartoon in comic form would benefit from being an actual cartoon series.

Review: ‘The Deep Sea’ One-Shot

Jimmy Palmoitti and Justin Gray give us the deep sea adventure we’ve all been waiting for. An interesting premise is given a great start this month in The Deep Sea. Sadly, it falls just short of greatness due to an uneven pace and too few moments of character development. The interesting protagonist does add a… Read More

Review: ‘Miniature Jesus’ #2

Ted McKeever is back with another boldly themed and rakishly illustrated installment of Miniature Jesus, courtesy of Shadowline Comics. Dominating his roles as writer, illustrator, and letterer, McKeever writes a bizarre tale of fantastic religious weirdness all while maintaining a palpable level of intimacy. “Miniature Jesus” #2 doesn’t let down, and it’s definitely an issue… Read More

[Advance Review] ‘Five Ghosts: The Haunting of Fabian Gray’ #3

Five Ghosts continues to be an excellent tribute to the pulp stories of old. Barbiere picks up where we left off last month. We are locked into the aftermath of Fabian’s outburst into vampire form, and given some great exposition about the mysterious dreamstone. The creators take a massive step in the right direction this… Read More

With events in Russia being relatively wrapped up for the Bureau and their Russian counter parts, the story moves back to North America with its newest arc B.P.R.D.

Review: ‘The Dream Merchant’ #1

‘Olympus’ scribe, Nathan Edmondson, teams up with newcomer, Konstantin Novosadov, for a new mini-series that breaks down the barrier between dreams and reality. A fairly original idea, the book follows an institutionalized boy named Winslow who’s unable to differentiate between waking states and sleep states, all due to his inability to function through hauntingly cryptic… Read More

Review: ‘Dream Thief’ #1

Ever wake up in a strange place? Your memories of the night before…a little hazy? How about waking up with a stolen mask on and some dead bodies? Don’t answer that last one. Instead, you should just read Dream Thief #1 and see what craziness a mask can bring into a person’s life.

Review: ‘The Legend of Luther Strode’ # 5

Justin Jordan has created a massive, insane, and brutally fun character in Luther Strode. No other comic character is ripping men in half, punching through faces, or pushing bullets out of their muscles, at least not that I know of. The Legend of Luther Strode is fantastic, engaging, and a ton of fun. Yet, up… Read More

Review: ‘To Hell You Ride’ #4

With such unforgettable imagery and expressive prose, To Hell You Ride #4 delivers another knockout installment. Since the first issue, I have truly enjoyed the “To Hell You Ride” series because of its epic storytelling and vibrant artwork. I can’t recommend this book enough.

Review: ‘Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher’ #1

Richard Corben manages to draw out an eerie mood and spine-chilling atmosphere in his adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s Fall of the House of Usher. With Corben’s surrealistic artwork and storytelling, this adaptation brings about the foreboding element of Gothic horror. Literary enthusiasts should not be afraid to pick this up because Poe’s eloquent prose… Read More

As each story gets better and better, readers will simply enjoy Creepy #12 and its collection of short horror tales.

Review: ’12 Reasons To Die’ #1

A triumph of high concept storytelling and raw imagery, Black Mask Studios’ 12 Reasons To Die #1 comes highly recommended. Based on the first issue alone, Ghostface Killah’s first foray into comics shouldn’t be missed and the result is pretty excellent. “12 Reasons To Die” definitely deserves to be on your pick-up list this week.

Blackacre #6 is essentially the exposition of how Greene became the leader of the religious cult occupying the dystopian American wasteland the series is set in.

The release of Ten Grand marks the significant return of Joe’s Comics to the industry, where quality and artistry are valued over corporate agendas, and income statements are surprisingly inconsequential in terms of production process.

Review: ‘Colonized’ #2

You would think this series would be more action packed given that it is filled with zombies, aliens, militia, and guns. Unfortunately, Colonized #2 is filled with talk and setup that slowly builds towards some real progression. This was a slow issue, and I hope Chris Ryall and Drew Moss can pick it up soon.
