King Spawn is always in contention for comic of the week whenever it comes out. Sean Lewis has done an excellent job revisiting the character’s history while also pushing the new story forward. It’s great for new Spawn readers and old, especially since Al Simmons’ history can get a bit confusing. And of course, Javier… Continue reading Comic of the Week: King Spawn #11 from Image Comics

Seven Sons #1: Image Comics Review
I’ll tell you what, Seven Sons #1 has quite the cover. Definitely intrigued me, but it was also a bit jarring. Jae Lee’s design for the story’s title characters is very unsettling. As you read the series-opening issue, you quickly realize that’s unique to those characters. It’s not at all representative of the rest of… Continue reading Seven Sons #1: Image Comics Review
Above Snakes #1: image Comics
If you’re a fan of Westerns, Sean Lewis and Hayden Sherman’s latest project is a must-add to your pull list. Above Snakes #1, which hits shelves July 13 and has a final order cutoff date of June 20, provides both the bad-ass tones found in the genre and also pokes fun at some tropes. Images… Continue reading Above Snakes #1: image Comics
Poison Ivy #1: DC Comics Review
This is Poison Ivy at her best. She is on a mission no one else understands, and no one is getting in her way. Motivated and misunderstood. On top of G. Willow Wilson’s writing, Marcio Takara and Arif Prianto bring Poison Ivy to a place she doesn’t visit often, if ever. DC ComicsWritten by: G.… Continue reading Poison Ivy #1: DC Comics Review
Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #1: Marvel Comics Review
For those not reading the Hulk vs. Thor event, involving Thor in another title might not seem to make sense. The focus of Jane Foster & The Mighty Thor #1 is very much on Jane Foster. It’s still unclear where this is happening in Thor’s history, but it’s definitely recent.

Shadow War Omega #1: DC Comics Review
Shadow War was a pretty good event until the last couple of issues. Between the reveal of the big bad and the events of Shadow War Omega, though, it fell flat. Outside of the epilogue, Shadow War Omega #1 didn’t do much to build up the character behind the event’s chaos. DC ComicsWritten by: Joshua… Continue reading Shadow War Omega #1: DC Comics Review
