The Cull, Volume 1 by Kelly Thompson and Mattia De Iulis – REVIEW
The Cull bills itself as Something is Killing the Children meets “The Goonies,” which sounds right up my alley. Its summary reads like a Karen McManus young adult mystery-horror, which hooked me. Five teen friends leave their homes in the middle of the night to shoot a film at the beach, but one of them is lying to the… Continue reading

Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons by Frank Tieri and Inaki Miranda – REVIEW
Is there a more epic combination than Godzilla and pirates? What about Godzilla, pirates, a monster island, and a secret society involving the Queen of England herself? Godzilla: Here There Be Dragons is a conspiracy-filled story that will keep you reading cover to cover. Continue reading

Bad Dreams in the Night by Adam Ellis – REVIEW
Like most 90s kids, I grew up on scary stories and urban legends. One of my favorite shows as a kid was “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” A show where kids sit around a campfire and take turns telling ghost stories shouldn’t work, but it did. In a lot of ways, Adam Ellis’s Bad Dreams… Continue reading

The record-breaking BRZRKR series from Keanu Reeves follows B, a half-mortal and half-god being who is centuries old, compelled to violence, and cursed. Although the main series from the core creative team ended in 2023, several standalone issues from other creatives have been released and will be collected in the upcoming volume BRZRKR: Bloodlines, Volume 1.… Continue reading

Eden by Christopher Sebela and Marc Laming – REVIEW
I’ve been excited to dig into the Eden comic series for a long time. Sci-fi comics are my jam, and the art, family dynamics, and survive-at-all-costs feel of Eden drew me in. Also, we all know I can’t resist a story with themes of a dying Earth, a dystopian system, and corrupt corporations. Continue reading

Earthdivers, Vol. 2: Ice Age by Stephen Graham Jones

Kill Columbus centers on Emily, Tad, Sosh, and Yellow Kid’s attempts to time travel to the 1400s, kill Christopher Columbus, and… Continue reading

Mary Tyler MooreHawk by Dave Baker
Like so many of my favorite books, Mary Tyler MooreHawk is near-impossible to categorize. Part dystopian literary fiction, part biographical magazine, and part nine-panel comic, Mary Tyler MooreHawk refuses to settle for just one genre. Dave Baker has succeeded in creating a multimedia masterpiece that has a lot to say about art, the pursuit of… Continue reading

Crusader, Vol. 1 by Matt Emmons
Mad Cave is an indie comic publisher I’ve come to really love. One of my favorite graphic novels from 2023, Monomyth, was published by them. So many interesting works are being published in the indie space, and Mad Cave is doing great work. When I saw that Mad Cave had an upcoming dark sci-fantasy starring… Continue reading

Graphic Novel Review: XINO by Phil Hester, Melissa Flores, Alex Segura, and more
I’m always looking for weird fiction anthologies, so I was thrilled to find this speculative and weird fiction graphic novel anthology. When a book is described as “an intra-ocular lozenge of subversive, surrealist science fiction,” you better believe I’m going to be interested. XINO comes from Oni Press, a publisher I trust, so I had… Continue reading
