    HEIST or HOW TO STEAL A PLANET, ISSUES #1-3

    "Captivating and surprisingly very funny, once the ball gets rolling in HEIST, you won't be able to put it down."

    UNHOLY GRAIL, VOL. 1

    "Unholy Grail" puts a dark twist on the already tragic Arthurian classic and reframes it in a new, supernatural light.

    THE FAMILY GRAVES, VOL. 1

    Writer: Timothy Bach Art: Brian Atkins Publisher: Source Point Press WHAT IS IT? A lighthearted action/adventure melting pot where science fiction, family, mystery and classic monsters blend together surprisingly seamlessly and naturally. It feels like The Incredibles or the Fantastic Four recast with classic movie monsters and a heavier focus on science and magic. WHAT'S IT ABOUT? (Minor Spoilers) Phil Graves is a scientist. He and his wife and their three kids are kind of j

    HELL, INC.

    HELL, Inc. is focused, funny, and just original enough to be interesting.

    INCURSION, ISSUES #1-4

    Writer: Andy Diggle & Alex Paknadel Art: Doug Braithwaite Publisher: Valiant Comics WHAT IS IT? A 4-issue miniseries about an immortal warrior and the magical, young girl he has to defend against a dark power. It feels very Conan the Barbarian, but also in the vein of other magical warrior fantasy. WHAT'S IT ABOUT? (Moderate Spoilers) Evil alien Imperatrix Virago infects worlds with a terrible necromantic plague that harvests the energy of entire biomes — plants, animals, peo

    THE REPLACER

    Writer: Zac Thompson Art: Arjuna Susini Publisher: Aftershock Comics WHAT IS IT? A self-contained, family-oriented, possession(ish)-style horror comic based on the writer's life. The way it's served up reminds me a little of the movie, Frailty, mixed with more classic horror tropes and viewed through a 1995 lens. WHAT'S IT ABOUT? (Minor Spoilers) Marcus's family doesn’t have a lot of money, but they seem pretty happy. Happy enough. They're what many would call a "normal, nucl

    THE SIXTH GUN, VOL. 1

    Writer: Cullen Bunn Illustrator: Brian Hurtt Publisher: Oni Press WHAT IS IT? A supernatural, post-Civil War western. It's like Westworld. But instead of technology, it's dark magic. And it actually takes place around 200 years ago. And there are magical, collectible guns. OK, it might not be like Westworld. WHAT’S IT ABOUT? (Minor Spoilers) A mysterious woman searching for a missing, mystical weapon and her lost, probably evil husband. She’s called The Widow Hume, so her hus

    ISOLA, VOL. 1

    Writer: Brenden Fletcher & Karl Kerschl Illustrator: Karl Kerschl Publisher: Image Comics WHAT IS IT? A tale of adventure, magic and fantasy that instantly feels like a timeless classic. If you're a fan of Miyazaki's films, like Princess Mononoke or Spirited Away, you will love this comic. But there's also an undercurrent of Don Quixote just behind the adventure and magic -- a worry that the quest these characters are on is one they'll never complete. WHAT’S IT ABOUT? (Minor

    VAGRANT QUEEN, VOL. 1

    Writer: Magdalene Visaggio Art: Jason Smith Publisher: Vault Comics WHAT IS IT? A space adventure grounded in reality, following an exiled queen who has no desire to reclaim her throne. Vault called it "Star Wars if Princess Leia was the main character," and I'd say that's pretty accurate. WHAT'S IT ABOUT? (Minor Spoilers) Elida Al-Feyr is a queen on the run. She does work for hire, Firefly style. Her latest job paid well, but when an old “friend” tells her he can find her mo

    HOCKEYPOCALYPSE, SEASON 4

    Cartoonist: Jeff Martin Publisher: Rent-A-Thug Comics This review covers the latest volume of the Hockeypocalypse series, and I have not covered the first 3 on my site. That being said, Jeff Martin does a fantastic job of catching you up on what you need to know, so you can jump right in without feeling lost. WHAT IS IT? The 4th volume of a fun, humorous, hockey-based sports comic appropriate for all ages. It reminds me of a more family-friendly version of the old Monster Lea

    ARCADIA

    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

    SWEET HEART, ISSUES #1 & 2

    Writer: Dillon Gilbertson Art: Francesco Iaquinta Publisher: Dillon Does Comics This review covers the first 2 issues of a 5-issue limited run. Since we don't have the full picture yet, we can't quite go into detail about the entire story arc, so details may be more minimal or look different from reviews of entire volumes. WHAT IS IT? A horror story where monsters are commonplace and a county is just doing its best to survive them. It's kind of like It Follows, if you could s
