Comic Book Review: Effigy #1

I’ve talked about this in previous reviews but Vertigo Comics is a publisher near and dear to my heart. The wave of books in the 90’s and early 2000s were the first comics I really fell in love with. The last year o...

Comic Book Review: Colder: The Bad Seed #4

Comic Book Review: Gotham Academy #4

This issue is a little bit scattered: it starts with Olive and Pomeline recounting their scary adventure, and getting chewed out by a gym teacher. Then it moves on to a slew of other settings and subplots. For example, we learn...

Comic Book Review: Munchkin #1

First of all, Munchkin is one of the most fun and friendship ruining board game of all time, and the images and flavor text on its cards are incredibly chuckle-worthy thanks to John Kovalic’s art style. (He gets a one pag...

Comic Book Review: Red Hood and The Outlaws #38

Red Hood and the Outlaws #38 has a bit of a surprise guest. Crux was a guy who hated aliens, so he turned his body into what we see on the cover and tried to take down Starfire. Readers didn’t like him and was never seen after ...

Comic Book Reviews: Spider-Verse Team-Up #3
