| Ex Machina #39 |
It’s Ex Machina time once again, and what a glorious time it is. I’ve been reading this book since it first came out, and month after month it goes right on the very top of the ‘Read Me First’ stack. For the uninitiated, this is the story of Mitchell Hundred,… |

| The Cleaners #1 |
Now this is intriguing. A new series about something very interesting that I know absolutely nothing about, created by people I have never heard of, and published by a company that doesn’t do this sort of thing all that often. How could I not check it out? And now that… |

| The Boys #24 |
Ah, The Boys. A name so apt and yet still kind of a misnomer-after all, one of the members, appropriately enough named The Female, is lacking that Y chromosome. You could say that the humor in this title, and it’s subject matter-people with super powers, is very ‘Boy’s Club’ kind… |

| Scalped #22 |
God I love this book. I just had to throw that out there. Now you can be assured that my review will not be colored by anything other than the most professional and objective point of view possible. So anyway-Scalped. In particular, the latest issue of it, which is the… |

| DMZ #35 |
So it seems that our guide through a New York City ravaged by violent separatist conflict, intrepid reporter Matty Roth, is out of work at the moment. His usual contacts in the media are giving him a lukewarm reception after his involvement with the newly-elected Parco Delgado, so he’s shopping… |

| Rasl #3 |
The world(or worlds, really) of Rasl is one of those enigma wrapped in a puzzle stuffed in a conundrum sort of things. Over the course of three issues information has been rationed out very slowly and methodically, and the reader has really just been along for the ride. The ride… |

| Madman Atomic Comics #11 |
Ever since getting re-launched at Image, the continuing adventures of Madman have been a deeper experience. This is not to say that the previous books were without any substance, but I am saying that something has changed. It feels more personal now. It has a certain obsession, like the title… |

| The Walking Dead #53 |
It’s safe to say that The Walking Dead has defied expectations. I mean, come on: it’s a zombie book, and one roaming out there in a sea of other zombie books, which were all spawned by an even greater number of zombie movies. How does one manage to keep this… |

| The Twelve #8 |
The word that first comes to mind upon reading this latest issue of The Twelve is ‘solid’. Everything about it is professionally done, from J. Michael Straczynski’s writing to Chris Weston’s artwork. It’s an example of what a truly good comic book is. But I admit, I feel a little… |

| No Hero#1 |
When it comes to stories about or involving those with super powers, most of the good ideas and original angles have been strip-mined thoroughly, which will inevitably send you back to the basics. In the process of getting to the onomatopoetic clash of good and evil, the basic questions are… |

| The Alcoholic |
The Alcoholic isn’t just a story of one man’s struggle with drinking- it’s a document of his entire life: the highs and lows, the lingering ghosts and small victories. It’s all here, communicated with such humanity that if you don’t feel empathy stirring you might want to check to see… |

| Glamourpuss#3 |
Dave Sim’s Glamourpuss is a truly unique amalgam of style and substance, a combination of elements that, on the surface, don’t seem to fit together. Once you give the book a chance to explain itself it makes perfect sense, in a way that makes you wonder, “Why hasn’t anyone else… |

| Air#2 |
I love a story that’s well-crafted, and Air has in only two issues revealed itself as such. It’s a beautiful thing when a narrative just flows, regardless of its inherent mysteries and expanding cast of characters. It’s even better when the style syncs with the subject matter. Writer G. Willow… |

| Young Liars #7 |
Young Liars is a book that has been baffling and appalling readers month after month, and this time it has truly outdone itself. The relatively new Vertigo series from the creator of Stray Bullets has been treated like the kid in the back of art class who wears slasher flick… |

| Pax Romana #3 |
For those who haven’t been reading this latest series from the creator of criminally under-the-radar Image books like The Nightly News and Transhuman, let me get you up to speed before I even attempt to share my thoughts on this latest issue. Pax Romana’s premise can be communicated in one… |
