Lobster Johnson: Get the Lobster #1- Pulp Era Adventuring from Mignola, Arcudi and Zonjic

  • by Evan Henry
  • February 10, 2014

The Lobster’s pulp-era adventures continue in a miniseries that is entertaining, if not quite standout Mignola fare. The year is 1934, and naturally, that means we’re in for the noir/pulp…

The Walking Dead “All Out War” #115-120

  • by Levi Hunt
  • February 3, 2014

A beautifully drawn story that bares little resemblance to what this series once was. The Walking Dead #100 was promised as a game-changing issue for the months leading up to it….

Dead Boy Detectives #2

Space Circus

  • by Evan Henry
  • January 23, 2014

Viper’s Space Circus delivers zany, appropriately Pixar-esque antics in a formulaic (but fun) all-ages package. Guys, I have bad news. I won’t draw this out or try to sugarcoat it….

Zero #5

  • by Levi Hunt
  • January 20, 2014

Not at all your typical spy story I was very resistant to Zero when the book first came out. I’m not generally a fan of spy/war/unflappable-badass-super-killer fiction. The cold, calculating nature of…
