What a year this month has been. With everything going on in the world recently, you might have missed these news items and volume releases from VIZ media. Luckily, the monthly VIZ Pubwatch is here! This month we’re mostly focusing on long-running fan favorites and some classic series, including Mermaid Saga by Rumiko Takahashi. First,…
REVIEW: Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem is The Comic That 2020 Needs
The national anthem. It played on the original Danger Days album. It’s written on the side of Mike Milligram’s car. I’ve heard it in classrooms and sports arenas my entire life. I’ve thought, at times, about what it represents in terms of the American consciousness. So has Gerard Way, and apparently, now it’s time to…
REVIEW: Marauders #15: Stabbing Saturnyne? Right in Front of My Salad?
It’s a bit unusual for a multi-title crossover event to continue its story in the very same title, but here we are, leaping into Marauders #15, right where we left off.
REVIEW: Phobos and Macroverse
Phobos by Jason Brubaker is a new premium comic on the mobile comics platform Macroverse, a platform whose unique selling point is the fact that instead of scrolling the reader taps to progress in their comics reading. Phobos follows the humorous and horrifying misadventures of a mad scientist and his wacky assistants in a vampire’s…
Titan Comics PUBWATCH: November 2020
In the year that seems like it will never end, we somehow have made it to November. (And through a contentious election week in the United States, which itself felt like a year!) This month, we take a look at a few finales (Adler and Horizon Zero Dawn), as well as the debut of Cutting…
REVIEW: The Low, Low Woods is a Haunting Tale of Strange Memories
Sitting in a cinema together, teenage friends El and Vee realise that neither of them has any memory of the film that has just ended. They soon find that Vee has unexplained mud on her shoes, no-one else went to see the film, and the sole staff member present is behaving oddly. Clearly, something has…
REVIEW: What Lies Beneath at Devil’s Reef in Miskatonic #1?
Placed in the Red Scare era of the early 20th century and dripping with classic sci-fi horror, Miskatonic #1 is a unique combination of American history, H.P. Lovecraft, and noir fiction from Aftershock Comics.
REVIEW: Star Trek Discovery’s “Forget Me Not” Angers Me Greatly
Discovery somehow becomes both more timeless and more current each week. The cast grows, changes, and deepens with every episode, and so too does Discovery‘s growing pains.
REVIEW: Dune: House Atreides: This is Fine
Dune: House Atreides starts with a FAAWHOOOM, introducing audiences to the intergenerational Herbert series. A primer for the major players in the upcoming Legendary movie adaptation Dune, this adapts Dune: House Atreides but it is not quite a tie-in comic.
Archie Pubwatch: November 2020
Welcome to the Archie Comics Pubwatch for the month of November! I’m Lisa, reporting from a corner booth at Pop’s Chock’lit Shoppe, and here’s this month’s news! In this month’s Archie Comics Pubwatch, two new digests are announced, along with start dates for The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and Riverdale!
REVIEW: Marvel Zombies #3 Takes a Bite Out of Fear…And Franklin Richards
Marvel Zombies: Resurrection #3 combines fascinating story with just-okay art and uneven character development.
REVIEW: It’s the Beginning of the End in John Constantine: Hellblazer #10
I’ve been reviewing John Constantine: Hellblazer for almost an entire year, and at this point, it feels like I should be running out of things to say about it. I’ve covered how it’s my favorite modern Hellblazer series. I’ve mentioned that its lack of subtlety is one of the many things I love about it,…
