    KINO, ISSUE #16

    Writer: Alex Paknadel Art: Diego Galindo Publisher: Lion Forge WHAT IS IT? It's a British superhero story that's part of the greater Lion Forge superhero universe, "Catalyst Prime." This latest run by these creators, however, is less your typical explosions-and-superpowers and more political intrigue, espionage, and deep dives into characters & ethics.

    Writer: Alex Paknadel Art: Martin Simmonds Publisher: Vault Comics This review only covers the fifth and final issue of this 5-issue miniseries.

    Writer: Alex Paknadel Art: Eric Scott Pfeiffer Publisher: BOOM! Studios WHAT IS IT? A dark and futuristic comic about the last vestiges of humanity after a virus kills 99% of people on the planet. Part character study and part technologically-forward tragedy, it feels like Black Mirror meets The Discovery, or a merging of the bleak future, ethical quandaries and questions about what defines personhood of Battlestar Galactica and the heartbreaking tone and survivor guilt of Th
