REVIEW: Tank Girl Colour Classics: A Blast from the Past
Tank Girl Colour Classics does a good job of both explaining the titular character’s place in the underground comics world and how she grew to become a near-mainstream phenomenon in the 1990s. This volume collects every story and cover from the character’s debut through the end of her magazine days, and does well explaining how…

What if superpowers could originate from something a little closer to home, like say, from our own health and the ways that we treat it? This is the…
REVIEW: Horror Movie Barbarian Misses Its Own Point
I really wanted to like Barbarian. It does some creative things and establishes some great character work. Unfortunately, it’s also a complete mess.
REVIEW: Damn Them All #1 Is Devilishly Fun, But Needs to Find Its Footing
Some comics invite comparisons to their inspirations. Some stick their hand into your face and beg for them—Damn Them All #1, from writer Simon Spurrier, artist Charlie Adlard, colorists Sofie Dodgson and Shayne Hanna Cui, and letterer Jim Campbell, is the latter.
REVIEW: Fantastic Four Forgoes Foursome For Forties Fun
Fantastic Four titles have had a tumultuous decade or so, and it’s enough to make even a diehard F4 fan wary. Fortunately, I’m not one of those, so I jumped right in!
