The Intrepids #2

The madcap adventures of the cast of The Intrepids remind me of a PG rated Saturday morning Hanna-Barbera cartoon. The teenage characters meats super science is a dead giveaway, coming in as a hybrid of Scooby Do and Johnny Quest. Writer Kurtis J. Wiebe and artist Scott Kowalchuk draw heavily from this era… Full Story

Green Wake #1

Green Wake #1 is a comic that sets the stage so effectively that it is perhaps one of the strongest debuts in recent memory.

Transformers Rising Storm #2

Transformers: Rising Storm #2 suffers from a promising beginning that is invariably overcome midway by inconsistent art and a dragging story. Writer John Barber demonstrates a keen grasp of language and diction in the opening pages. His narrations are eloquently disarming enough to draw in the reader but not too full of flourishes.… Full Story

Infinite Vacation #2

Infinite Vacation #2 is another wonderful foray into the engaging and thought provoking world created by Nick Spencer and Christian Ward. The plot deepens this issue as the mystery of the murdered Marks is explored. While I’m always up for an engaging detective story, I am even more astonished by how fresh and… Full Story
