Penny's parents are like many of today's parents. One person works taking care of the family and one works at an office. Both struggle to see what stresses the other and possibly dimisses those stressors as they can't see what the other is going through. Not only that, the obsesssion that many of us have with our phones causes a rift between the parents. We could all take from this story and realize that we have to be present for those within our household more and leave the

The art is phenomenal throughout, and wonderfully contrasts with Van Gogh’s own art style, where his aesthetic is bright and soft, Sakka is dark and sharp, with occasional dissolving reprieves, where his interior life matches his artistic vision. Especially impressive are Sakka’s recreations of some of Van Gogh’s most famous works, re-contextualizing them within the world of the book, imbibing them with a delicate melancholy that suggests the difference between how Van Gogh s

2000 AD Prog 2471 Release date: February 25, 2026 Cover Artist: Cliff Robinson A maximum voltage cover from Cliff Robinson to kick off the new Judge Dredd story arc! Giambattista Vico, an 18th century sociologist, theorized that with each flash of lightning man relives their primitive terror of divine power. Dredd at least appears to be somewhat concerned! JUDGE DREDD // CLIMATE CRISIS - PART ONE Writer: Rob Williams & Ned Hartley Artist: PJ Holden Colorist: Jack Davies Lette

It acts as an homage to nostalgia for Star Trek the original series while also telling a much darker story. That a programmer who traps his coworkers’ consciousness in a procedurally generated game scenario based on the that show. In the shadow of that retro-futurism hides elements of The Matrix mixed with Ready Player One and that episode of The Twilight Zone with that terrible little god-kid. 

The Thing on the Doorstep starts with a murder, as seen on the preview pages above. A gruesome murder, that I was surprised how it happened without warning. The story starts in 1933 with Daniel Upton shooting his "friend" (in quotes because, why would he shoot a friend) Edward Derby but then the story goes back 35 years to their first meeting and goes thru various points in their lives.

After last week’s grand finale we’re back in the business of building suspense and business is booming!

Publisher: Invader Comics Release date: February 11th, 2026 Writer: David R. Flores and Jarod Hunter Roe Artist: David R. Flores Colorist: Lorenzo Scaramella Letterer: Letter Squids Editor: Barnett Brettler PRICE: $6.99 REVIEW Private investigator Randall Halsey could really use some friends to be there for him right now because it has definitely not been his day, his week, his month, or even his year. All he’s got instead is a missing young woman and enough cynicism to fill

The art is great. Really good character designs, lots of details. Tons of texture. There is not a wasted line in either book. If you like the comic art made famous at Image in the 90s, you will feel right at home here. If anything, its that style but with modern sensibilities and coloring.

2000 AD Prog 2469 Release date: February 11, 2026 Cover Artist: Mike Perkins Price: $2.99 digital, $5.49 print Subscription $10.99 Digital, $16.99 print subscription (4-5 issues a month) How about that cover by Mike Perkins! His work throughout this storyline has been beyond reproach and this is an especially delicious cherry on top. Somewhat reminiscent of Steve Ditko’s great “lifting sequence” from Amazing Spider-Man #33, way back in 1965, though more likely Atlas lifting t

Shin Zero is a book of combinations. It is French sci-fi cartooning and Japanese monster manga, slice-of-life meditation and high concept action-adventure, an entry in the 75-year-old tokusatsu genre and a profoundly modern story of gig-economy workers, and it is a synthesis of the talents of Mathieu Bablet and Guillaume Singelin, with Bablet writing and Singelin illustrating.

Two-fisted titanic team-ups abound in this truly twisted collection of Toxic Avenger tales, straight outta Tromaville, New Jersey! Having lived in New Jersey for 15 years now, I thought it was high time I let the Toxic Avenger into my life, especially with the tantalizing absurdity promised on the cover, and I am very glad I did.

Are you a middle-aged stoner who once D.A.R.E.d to Keep Kids Off Drugs?  Have you ever wished there was a Disney-level theme park solely dedicated to large semiaquatic mammals? Do you enjoy brightly colored comics full of action, comedy, and 70s buddy cop movie tropes?

And the hits keep on coming! And at breakneck speed no less, with a perfectly paced prog that leaves you waiting on pins and needles for the next drop!

Another week and another 2000 AD prog review! As the format of the weekly anthology series continues to sink its hooks in deep, and I find myself jonesing for the latest instalments from the mighty house of Tharg! Lock the door, unplug the phone, my stories are on!

Writer Sophie Campbell does a stellar job with what she’s given here, using a second-tier monster first as background to tragedy, and then as vehicle for redemption for twin sisters Emi and Mira, who are separated as children in a battle between Mothra and Antra.

Kickstart an all-new Cyberpunk Sci-fi series that is utterly unforgettable! There’s a car going around taking brains. And where one crazy...
