After the semi-soft reboot of The Sandman Universe Presents: Hellblazer #1, John Constantine is back in London, 2019. He’s tasked with a seemingly insurmountable obstacle: the key to saving the future is to not be such a garbage bag of a person.
Doctor Who: Thirteenth Doctor Year 2 #1: Weeping Woodstock
Doctor Who: Thirteenth Doctor Year 2 #1 sees the Doc and her ‘fam’ head to Woodstock… except the Tardis has other ideas. They’re in 1969 alright, but not at Woodstock. Instead, the Tardis has landed them in London, in the same vicinity as the Doctor’s tenth incarnation. The Tardis must have a reason for this…
Dynamite Comics Pubwatch: January 2020
Welcome to the Dynamite Comics Pubwatch for the month of January! I’m Lisa, Dynamite is my explosive beat, and here’s this month’s news!
Fallen Angels #5 Is a High Bar You Still Can’t Limbo Under
Fallen Angels has set such a low bar for itself that a baby could crawl over it, so while it’s surprising to find an issue I didn’t hate, I’m not going to say that Fallen Angels #5 is in any way a good comic. The entire series has been an unmitigated disaster in an otherwise…
New Mutants #5: Space, The Final Frontier
In the fifth issue of Jonathan Hickman and Rod Reis’s New Mutants, the team’s space mission encounters real space danger, as the New Mutants go head-to-head with the Shi’ar Death Commandos.

New Year, New Decade! (Though some may debate if we are really in a new decade.) Let’s take a bit of a look at what December brought from Titan Comics, and some of what to look forward to this year.
Doctor Who Revisits Familiar Ideas in “Spyfall, Part 2”
“Spyfall, Part 2” picks up immediately where the opener left off, only to take us all over time and space in the proceeding hour. Although as much as “Spyfall, Part 2” broadens the scope and mysteries of the first episode, it refuses to visit new places or ideas.
The Clock #1 Makes Cancer Even Scarier
As if cancer weren’t bad enough, Matt Hawkins’ The Clock #1 turns the disease into a weapon that will bring about a global pandemic if scientists can’t find a cure.
Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #1: How Ben Solo Got Swole-o
I know you’re here for Star Wars: The Rise of Kylo Ren #1, but have you heard about CATS? Andrew Lloyd Webber’s blockbuster of a musical based on TS Eliot’s charming cat poems was just made into a film by director Tom Hooper (Les Miserables, The King’s Speech), to a slew of incredible critical pans…
