REVIEW: Comeback
Let’s get this bit over with early. For a while now, it seems like the Looper parallels have loomed large over Comeback. Both bring a grungy, low-tech, noir-tinged approach to time travel, placing it within a grounded sci-fi mythology more … Continue reading

REVIEW: The Manhattan Projects #11
It’s a strange thing to say, but The Manhattan Projects could very well be the best team book in the comic market today. Better than Justice League, better than The Avengers, better even than Wolverine and the X-Men, this oddball … Continue reading

REVIEW: The Walking Dead #100
As the writer of a series of review columns called The Creator-Owned Zone, it would be remiss of me not to share my thoughts on the biggest creator-owned comic of the year. In fact, word is that The Walking Dead … Continue reading

REVIEW: Mind the Gap #1
