REVIEW: Southern Dog #1
It’s interesting how quickly something topical becomes something historical. Take this first issue of Southern Dog, by writer Jeremy Holt and artist Alex Diotto, as an example. With its references to Obama’s recent inauguration, and the impact this has on … Continue reading
REVIEW: Love Monster
The friend zone sucks. You know how painful it can be, when you really have feelings for a girl, but she just views you as a friend, so you stay her friend because that’s better than admitting your true feelings … Continue reading
REVIEW – Igor: Occult Detective #1
Sorry for the lack of a review last week. I was so busy last week that it was Sunday before I even remembered I was supposed to have written something. I’ll try not to let it happen again. We return … Continue reading

REVIEW: Extinct #2
I don’t know about you, but I find that first issues of a comic series are rarely the best. With all the world-building and setting the stage that needs to be done in that opening issue, it seems that usually … Continue reading
REVIEW: Breakneck #3
There’s something I call “The JJ Abrams Effect”, given how often it seems to happen in his shows. You’re chugging along quite happily with what seems in itself to be a perfectly good setup for a story, when all of … Continue reading
