Last week we read two different launching points into the Vampirella franchise. Check out the full article here: This week, we take some time to examine some other famous teams to tackle the iconic vampire. Vampirella #1 (Dynamite) Since Vampirella landed at Dynamite, there have been four different #1 issues, including the forthcoming one written […]
Mark Millar. Grant Morrison. Warren Ellis. James Robinson. Kurt Busiek. Alan Moore. Jeph Loeb. Amanda Conner. Jimmy Palmiotti. Tim Sale. If I told you all those comic legends have given their talent to the same character that has been around for nearly 50 years, would you be able to guess the character? With all those […]
Aliens: Defiance #9 (Dark Horse) The last time I checked in with the Aliens series was during the initial launch of the Prometheus line back in 2014. It is not that those comics were bad, but there were a bit wordy. If I remember correctly, it was just not compelling enough to keep reading after the […]
Monsters Unleashed #1 (Marvel) In a rare treat, a proper Marvel U book makes it to this week’s reviews. If you are a fan of strange monsters appearing from nowhere and causing total havoc, this comic will scratch the Godzilla-sized itch you need to have scratched. If you are or were a fan of Marvel […]
Richard Corben’s Shadows on the Grave #2 (Dark Horse) This book still stands out with beautiful black and white, classic horror style art. The first issue’s strength were the chapters coming before the main overarching tale. This issue’s strength came from the ongoing and absolutely terrifying and brutal art of the Cyclops monster. This book […]
Tales from the Suicide Forrest #1 (Amigo) You may have not read the original “Suicide Forest” published by IDW, but you may be familiar with the story, which was turned into the 2016 movie entitled, The Forest. It is all based around Aokigahara – or The Suicide Forest – a real area in Japan, where […]
Number one issues can be tricky. The writer needs to set a world, give compelling characters and leave with something to come back around for the next installment. All within the confines of 32 pages. Bad Moon Rising has some elements that intrigue, but unfortunately get lost in the shuffle because there are too many plot […]
Die Kitty Die #2 (Chapterhouse) This may have been a little less impressive than the first issue – which was one of my stand-out books of the year – but still delivered a solid read and worthy of any pull list. The story format continues to delight as the reader is first given a “flashback” comic […]
Ryan is here with another round-up of horror comics.
It is October and Halloween is right around the corner. For most of us, we are marathon watching our favorite horror franchises. The sequels, no matter the quality, may be entertaining, but never seem to live up to the original. And in very rare air, a sequel delivers more than the original. John Carpenter’s Tales […]
