By: Dan Mendoza The Tramp is back! The second issue of Zombie Tramp is even more violent and boob-filled than the first! Janey Belle wakes from fresh death, hungry and filled with anger and confusion. The opening panels of the comic show her staggering out of an alley way in her panties, dripping gore from [...]

The Dead And Dying
By: Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips Wow. This is the third installment of the critically acclaimed “Criminal Series” by the Brubaker/Phillips duo. I am IMMENSELY impressed with this piece of literature and the artwork that frames it. This graphic novel is fluid and refined with its addictive text pulling the reader further and further into [...]
Spider-Woman #6
By: Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev We left Jessica Drew about to confront the “Thunderbolts” in the end of the last issue, and in this issue they clash head on. The good news is that she absolutely beats their trash, mentally and physically. For being a super creature with such low self esteem Spider-Woman [...]
Daytripper #4
By: Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon So, I changed my mind about Daytripper. When I first started this series, I felt that it was deep and moving and thematically rich and varied. Now, I feel as though I am stuck in the most emo comic book series ever. Every issue is a depressing romp in [...]
Demo: The Waking Life of Angels #1
By: Brian Wood and Becky Cloonan Here is another comic rescued from the free piles at the DC booth. I am always skeptical of any comic that they will give away for free because if it is free then its implied that it has no worth. After reading this comic, I’m not sure that my [...]
Victorian Undead #4
By: Ian Edinton, Davide Fabbri and Tom Mandrake I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again… I am a sucker for anything zombie related. When I saw that they had mashed Sherlock Holmes and zombies in the same comic, I rejoiced and gladly opened my wallet. This is the most recent issue in the [...]
A History of Violence
By: John Wagner and Vince Locke Yesterday, one of my co-workers who shares my enthusiasm for comics loaned me ‘A History of Violence’. I took it with an open mind, willing to read it and give him my feed back. Once I started into the story, it was a slippery slope, and I couldn’t put [...]
The Invincible Iron Man #1
By: Matt Fraction and Salvadore Larroca What the hell Greg? My comic book shop of choice is run by a handsome gentlemen with an uncanny talent; He knows the types of comics I’ll enjoy. As I was leaving his store last Saturday, he slipped this one in my bag and simply said, “You’re going to [...]
Batwoman in Detective Comics #854
By: Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams III This issue was another treasure acquired at the DC booth for no lucre. To be honest, I hungrily snatched it up and stuffed it in my bag for the simple reason that it was free. Batwoman normally wouldn’t interest me in the slightest. But this issue came out [...]
American Vampire #1
By: Scott Snyder, Rafael Albuquerque, and Stephen King This weekend I was in Black Cat Comics in Salt Lake City picking up my holds, and Greg (the owner and operator of the shop) told me I had to check out American Vampire. He has never steered me wrong, so I took his advice and added [...]
