In what sometimes feels like a sea of guaranteed hits by the least edgy, most mainstream, already-proven talent, An Unkindness of Ravens stands out as a unique and raw force of pure creativity. With a killer […]
Keanu Reeves' foray into comic book creation with Matt Kindt, Ron Garney, Bill Crabtree and Clem Robins was funded by Kickstarter, the most successful comic book crowdfunding event ever.

Thank FOC It's Friday – Planned to coincide and cover the demands of Final Order Cut Off at Diamond Comic Distributors. And no Lunar as well. Not UCS anymore, though.

As we close out 2020, we thought we'd take a look at one of the biggest projects of the year… that never was. Over on Earth-2, Boom Studios had one of the biggest series launches of 2020 with Keanu Reeves' BRZRKR in October. But this version of BRZRKR looked quite different from the series retailers and fans […]
This series's premise relies heavily on the existence of "gods" — humanoids the size of a city, inert upon discovery, with minerals and resources that can be mined to fuel human industry. One was discovered in the last issue, still alive as the end of a grim chase between two people with old business and […]

Boom Studios launched their "Must Read" initiative at the beginning of the year with series like Seven Secrets and We Only Find Them When They're Dead. Well, Tom Taylor and Daniele Di Nicuolo's Seven Secrets is certainly living up to Boom's hype recently. Like Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw's Crossover and James Tynion IV and […]
It appears that fans and retailers are beginning to catch on that Mighty Morphin by Ryan Parrott and Marco Renna is equally as important to the Power Rangers comic franchise as its sister series Power Rangers by Ryan Parrott and Francesco Mortarino. Something, we might add, we've kindly brought to everyone's attention before. Now, both […]
An Unkindness of Ravens #1 was the best debut issue of 2020. Can writer Dan Panosian, artist Marianna Ignazzi, colorist Fabiana Mascolo, and letterer Mike Fiorentino keep up that same level of quality with their follow-up issue? Yeah, it turns out they can. An Unkindness of Ravens #2 is the first time in a while that I had to […]

And a special congratulations to former Bleeding Cool columnist Alex De Campi and Erica Henderson, whose graphic novel Dracula Motherf**ker from Image Comics was the best-selling graphic novel in the Diamond direct market in October this year, beating out the collection of Marvel's summer event, Empyre. Someone at DC's Black Label should […]
Perhaps we jinxed it with our headline last month, when we asked if anything could stop James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edara's Something Is Killing The Children? Apparently, the answer is yes, and surprisingly it's Boom's printer. We're now hearing of widespread reports from retailers of a tear on one of the interior pages. Even […]
The final issue of Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Willow is here. This series, written by Mariko Tamaki, illustrated by Natacha Bustos, colored by Eleonora Bruni, and lettered by Jodi Wynne, has been a shining light in the grim atmosphere of BOOM!
