First on the list is The Resistance #1, from writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Mike Deodato Jr., Frank Martin Jr., and an excellent cover […]
By Kevin Hoskinson From the twisted mind of Rob Zombie comes the third installment in the disturbing saga of the Firefly family. Starting in 2003 with “House Of 1,000 Corpses” and continuing in “The Devil’s Rejects,” Zombie has continued the story in “3 From Hell”, a captivating, if not conventional (by his standards) horror thriller. The story picks up […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Director Leigh Wanell’s updated version of Universal’s “The Invisible Man” is a pulse-pounding experiment in tension and horror. It exceeds expectations while also subverting modern horror tropes. It’s not an easy movie to watch, especially if you have been a victim of domestic violence or any abuse, but it’s a great movie that will make you second […]

By Nolan P Smith Valiant Entertainment has some of the coolest characters around. Leading that charge has to be their gold and blue armored warrior, X-O Manowar. The Visigoth warrior plucked from his time and bonded with a sentient alien armor has been Valiant’s heavy hitter since he debuted back in 1992. Since then, he has had numerous relaunches and […]

By Nolan P Smith We all love a great spy story. The suave and charismatic super spy, the beautiful women, the intrigue and danger- they captivated us on film, on the television, novels, comic books, and more. It is the fictional character life to live until it’s not, and it’s over with a bang. Welcome to a new kind of […]
By Nolan P. Smith The end of the world isn’t coming; it is here. For twins Oscar and Cira Fuentes, they struggle to find each other from across the nation as they bear witness to a new kind of contagion.

By Kevin Hoskinson If you were a random person on the street and asked me what I knew about “My Hero Academia” before I saw this film, I would tell you these things: It’s an anime, there are characters named Deku and All Might, and it takes place (mostly) in a school. Oh, and there’s fighting, lots of fighting. That’s […]
By Kevin Hoskinson While it is set in a fantasy world, Oni Press’s Dryad is a very relatable story. It’s about parenthood and the lengths we will go to protect our children. It’s about the stress and anxiety that come with raising children, as well as trying to find the place that you can call home. Simply put, it’s a […]
By Jeremiah Gagnon For this review, I am taking a look at Rick & Morty #59 from Oni Press. Written by Kyle Starks with art by Marc Ellerby, Sarah Stern, and Crank!, with another story by Terry Blas, Benjamin Dewey, and Crank!

Right behind them is the villainous Dr. Robotnik, who will stop at nothing to take down the speedy blue hedgehog and find out what makes him tick. What […]
By Nolan P. Smith BOOM! Studios have been on a hot streak for, well, the last few years. The publisher consistently cranks out original, exciting stories that stand head and shoulder above the competition. So when I saw Alienated #1 solicited a few months ago, I pre-ordered without a thought. Now that I have read the first issue, I am […]
By Nolan P. Smith Imagine if you could actually do something with the finger guns we all used as kids, and adults. Well, in Vault Comics’ latest series, Finger Guns, we see what happens when two teens have the powers to change the emotions of people just by shooting them with, you guessed it, finger guns. The new series is […]
By Nolan P. Smith I am a massive fan of Valiant Comics- and I have been for a long time now. So when Valiant came roaring back a few years ago, I was all in. X-O Manowar, Bloodshot, Divinity, Savage- there are so many amazing titles from the publisher. With Doctor Tomorrow, we get a brand new hero to enter […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Not since the introduction of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has an anamorphic animal been so mysterious, so cunning and so deadly! Mr. Beaver isn’t to be messed with, and he kicks some major butt in the first issue of Action Lab Danger Zone’s new series, “Mr. Beaver.” Detective Kage is a wide-eyed rookie in a city […]

The publisher has a new wave of books hitting, and I am excited to check them out. First up is The Man Who Effed Up Time #1. From John Layman (Chew) and newcomer […]
By Nolan P. Smith I knew nothing about Tart when I pre-ordered the first issue from Scout Comics. The cover looked great, and Scout has consistently delivered amazing stories, so I felt compelled to give it a shot. After reading the first issue, I am 100% on board with Tart, and cannot wait for what is next. From writer Kevin […]
By Kevin Hoskinson In 2016, Warner Bros and DC debuted “Suicide Squad,” a film that was met with divisive reviews but did decently at the box office. While the film was a so-so affair, it showcased characters we hadn’t seen on the big screen before. Most notably, it was the live-action debut of one Harley Quinn. Played pitch-perfectly by Margot […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Image Comics turns politics on its head in the first issue of “On The Stump,” and if real-life political battles were this exciting, more people would definitely get out and vote! In this new series, political rivals go head to head in the ring. If you want to get legislation passed, you better beat your opponent, because […]

What was supposed to be a typical wedding has turned into a nightmare. The Bad Elvis Gang has taken the entire wedding party […]
By Jeremiah Gagnon This week, I take a look at IDW’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Urban Legends #21 by Gary Carlson, Frank Fosco, Mark Heike, Adam Guzowski, and Pat Brosseau. We open up on the setting of several police officers parked in front of a museum after hours, their lights blazing up the scene in their red hue. The police […]
By Kevin Hoskinson Stories that revolve around the wild west are timeless tales of revenge and betrayal, filled with exciting and uniquely driven characters. At first glance, you would assume that the new series from Mad Cave Studios, Savage Bastards, is exactly that. And while it feels like a classic western, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there is […]
