Jeff Lemire’s elegiac new graphic novel Frogcatchers is highly recommended for a reader willing to engage.
All in Horror
Coffin Bound #2 // Review
Watters’ horror is potent.
Doctor Strange #19 // Review
The ingenious blend of magic and medicine challenges Strange in another bright standalone story.
Gotham City Monsters #1 // Review
Pardon the expression, but Gotham City Monsters #1 is a strange beast.
The Immortal Hulk #23 // Review
This is one of Marvel’s best books out right now, and if you’ve been sleeping on it, you should take some time to catch up.
Something is Killing the Children #1 // Review
Something is Killing the Children is bleak, horrific, and immediately compelling.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8 // Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8 is a promising, if slight, beginning for the first Buffy/Angel crossover.
Doctor Strange #18 // Review
It’s a fun contrast to Strange’s recent cosmic adventures.
Avengers #23 // Review
As weird as things get in the course of the chapter, Aaron manages to keep it from ever overpowering the heroism of the team.
Angel #4 // Review
Angel #4 is competently made, but feels slight and perfunctory.
Absolute Carnage #2 // Review
Keeping the action within the Spider-family gives Absolute Carnage #2 tight focus and clear stakes.
Doctor Mirage #1 // Review
A supernatural adventure which tilts the traditional ghost story on its head somewhere between Hell and everything else.
Vampirella #2 // Review
This is where Vampirella's story starts to get wild. Writer Christopher Priest, artist and colorist Ergün Gündüz, and letterer Willie Schubert take Vampirella on an adventure that can only be described as bizarre and bloody. Very bloody. What more would you expect from an alien vampire?
Coffin Bound #1 // Review
Hazy wasteland poetics rumble through the opening chapter.
The Immortal Hulk #22 // Review
Genuinely groundbreaking storytelling
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #7 // Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #7 from Boom! Studios takes a break from the ensemble-based format of the first six issues to focus entirely on Willow.
The Batman Who Laughs #7 // Review
Seven issues complete, and yet nothing has been accomplished.
Angel #3 // Review
There’s solid work in Angel #3, but it’s a shame the book is hamstrung by the constraints of a reboot that mostly serves the needs of another book.
Avengers #22 // Review
Jason Aaron crafts an enjoyable pop fusion of demonic horror and superhero team action.
Martian Manhunter #7 // Review
The messy grittiness of a police assault on a rural human trafficking outpost feels weird and stringy.
