COVER A ART BY: ANDRÉ LIMA ARAÚJO & CHRIS O’HALLORAN
People say that no good deed goes unpunished. OK it’s a platitude, but an apt one. Have you ever felt that way? I know I have. The sentence is never fully spoken, but it came to mind many times during the trip from slow burn to bonfire of this first issue of A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance. This review contains some spoilers in terms of details, because I’m not sure how to tell you how this book made me feel without telling you about the difference between the everyday moments and the moments that feel like important information about what is going to come in the course of this story by Rick Remender. — TaraLovesNoir … CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REVIEW

October and Halloween create opportunities for scary stories and haunted tales. DC Comics joins in festivities with the Are You Afraid of Darkseid anthology. The collection of writers and artists use a Teen Titans campfire as the setting for a series of fun and satisfying stories, free from the bonds of continuity. The result is worth the cost of admission. — Percy Waelchl … CLICK HERE TO READ THE FULL REVIEW
Score: 9.0
OUT #1
AWA/Upshot Studios
Written by: Rob Williams
Art by: Will COnrad
Colors by: Marco Lesko
OUT has a lot of promise. Everyone has playing zombies on COD, but now you’re mixing WWII with vampires? That alone guarantees a two-issue commitment at minimum.
OUT #1 starts things off a bit slowly, but it works because we’re meeting a wide array of characters — more so than we might normally in a WWII story, so it fits perfectly. But the ending will leave you — Nick Friar
Score: 8.5
