Something is Killing the Children avoids the second issue slump with this terrific issue.
All in Horror
Absolute Carnage #4 // Review
Absolute Carnage #4 is dumb action, and thank God for it.
The Immortal Hulk #24 // Review
A must-read. If you’re a horror fan, it’s a must-read. If you’re neither of those things, you should probably still give it a try
Coffin Bound #3 // Review
Dani gracefully scratches out the decaying detail on a world hanging on to life long after it has passed into the past.
Hellmouth #1 // Review
Hellmouth #1 is a compelling enough continuation of the story that’s been ongoing in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series.
Nomen Omen #1 // Review
An interesting story of an aboriginal magic cast in the modern world.
Ghost Rider #1 // Review
Ghost Rider #1 is a compelling first issue, showing a great deal of promise.
Doctor Mirage #2 // Review
An interesting issue with sharply witty dialogue.
Angel #5 // Review
All the components for a good comic are here--a good writer with a handle on the characters, a solid art team that particularly works well together. Why, then, does Angel #5 feel (pardon the pun) lifeless?
Frogcatchers // Review
Jeff Lemire’s elegiac new graphic novel Frogcatchers is highly recommended for a reader willing to engage.
Coffin Bound #2 // Review
Watters’ horror is potent.
Doctor Strange #19 // Review
The ingenious blend of magic and medicine challenges Strange in another bright standalone story.
Gotham City Monsters #1 // Review
Pardon the expression, but Gotham City Monsters #1 is a strange beast.
The Immortal Hulk #23 // Review
This is one of Marvel’s best books out right now, and if you’ve been sleeping on it, you should take some time to catch up.
Something is Killing the Children #1 // Review
Something is Killing the Children is bleak, horrific, and immediately compelling.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8 // Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #8 is a promising, if slight, beginning for the first Buffy/Angel crossover.
Doctor Strange #18 // Review
It’s a fun contrast to Strange’s recent cosmic adventures.
Avengers #23 // Review
As weird as things get in the course of the chapter, Aaron manages to keep it from ever overpowering the heroism of the team.
Angel #4 // Review
Angel #4 is competently made, but feels slight and perfunctory.
Absolute Carnage #2 // Review
Keeping the action within the Spider-family gives Absolute Carnage #2 tight focus and clear stakes.
