Patrick: My favorite book this week was the first issue of DC comic’s limited series “Bombshells” written by Marguerite Bennett and art by Marguerite Sauvage. So this week was super hard to pick a stand-out Top-O-The-Pile pick, because there were so many amazing books to release. I want to get back and talk about Phonogram, Mercury…

Page Turner: Dark Room by Tom Becker Book Review
Tom Becker’s Dark Room forgoes the supernatural romance trappings of YA genre fiction for a stab at the classic genre. Horror aimed at a teen audience, especially in fiction as opposed to film, walks a razor’s edge. You can’t be too graphic with your violence, sexual themes, or language, but if you only brush with those…

Myles: UFOlogy #4 continues the patient, methodical pace James Tynion IV and Noah J. Yuenkel have set for their science fiction tale and serves as reason as to why so many people should be checking out the insanely wonderful creator-owned work Boom Studios is putting out these days. Tl;dr version of the story so far: Becky…

Patrick: My pick this week is the penultimate issue in the first arc of IDW’s “Jem and the Holograms #5” written by Kelly Thompson and art by Sophie Campbell. I guess in retrospect I enjoyed the previous issues, but this one really stood out, as we got multiple plot threads and a lot of the…

Myles: Archie vs Predator #4 It always had to end like this. No story detailing a clash between the denizens Riverdale and the Predator could sing its swan song without coming down to a battle between the alien menace and the dynamic duo of Betty and Veronica. Alex de Campi revs the story into full Grindhouse…

Patrick: My pick this week is a new comic from a familiar creator that we have spoken about on the podcast. “Mercury Heat” #1 from Avatar Press Inc, written by Keiron Gillen and art by Omar Francia is out today. Gillen you know from books like cult classic ‘Phonogram’ and the smash hit ‘The Wicked + The…

Myles: Archie #1 While the hype behind Archie #1 has been inescapable, there was always an air of “how will they pull this off?” about it. Sure, bringing in the superstar talents of Mark Waid and Fiona Staples to reboot the iconic series sounds great. But what would they do? Would it be this weird meta…

Patrick: So this week’s pick for a cool comic is continuing my trend of picking 4-color Superhero books and is a continuation of a previous pick. I choose Image Comic’s “Airboy” by James Robinson and Greg Hinkle #2 this week as the top of my buy pile, it edged out the amazing continuation of Alex De…

Myles: To the surprise of no one, my pick this week is Kelly Thompson and Sophie Campbell’s Jem and the Holograms #4. It’s been no secret how much I love the property and this comic, but Thompson and Campbell continue to outdo themselves with each subsequent issue. Thompson’s pacing continues to be one of my…

Patrick: In the third installment of Dark Horse comic’s “Archie vs. Predator” things take a turn from worse to absolutely abysmal for the residents of Riverdale. A teenage predator is on the loose, and hunting and murdering Archie’s gang of pals one by one, or as we saw in the last issue, in a giant…
