GIDEON FALLS #1 [Review]: Blessed Are Those.

Fans of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino, rejoice! If you were into their solid Green Arrow run that hit about halfway through The New 52 or their really quite excellent two years on Old Man Logan, the wonderful news is that they’ve been basically biding their time for the past three years quietly getting this creator-owned …

MERA / THE BEEF / LOCKJAW / BLACK PANTHER [Reviews]: Throne-ish.

With regrets I have not been reading the current Aquaman run--and despite this miniseries being more subsidiary story to the current arc than it is a full feature title--I wasn't lost in this issue. Writer Dan Abnett meshes in slight recaps as the narrative unfolds with Mera wounded and unable to breath underwater thus leaving …

HIT-GIRL / DOCTOR STRANGE / THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD / TALES OF SUSPENSE [Reviews]: Infinity Countdown Prime.

So the Marvel Universe is kinda-sorta-not-really-but-is restarting again, and one can only assume that it will be kicked off (or re-re-re-rebooted) with Infinity Countdown Prime, done up by writer Gerry Duggan and, one of the very best artists out there today, Mike Deodato Jr. His crisp drawings make this story better than what it is. …

INHUMANS JUDGMENT DAY / ABBOTT / DOOMSDAY CLOCK [Reviews]: Who Writes This Shit?!?!

Let me preface this review with the fact that I am not entirely familiar with past installment of the Inhumans series, so this is coming from someone with a completely blind background. First and foremost, the plot, written by Al Ewing (Avengers, Ultimates), was great. It was all over the place and convoluted, but not TOO …
