Bloodborne #3 cover by Piotr Kowalski
Brad Simpson and Kevin Enhart bring gorgeously blended color shades to Bloodborne #3, and the overall comic continues to astonish me with its depth and beauty. Bloodborne #3 is another chilling and action-packed installment to this comic series with content capable of entertaining both the hardcore fan and the newcomer Both the narrative and art knock[...]

Credit: Freeform We are back once again, this time with our fifth edition of Bleeding Cool's weekly recap/review of Freeform's Siren, Eric Wald and Dean White's mermaid fantasy-action drama Just when I thought I knew where things were going last episode, an unexpcted reunion…a deepending conspiracy…and the town's "Giles" possibly being a lot "closer" to the[...]

Lord Of The Rings tv

Tolkien’s world-renowned Lord of the Rings fantasy series. Now five months, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting some new details about how the whole deal came together.
Bruce Lee: Walk of the Dragon One-Shot Cover
The overbearing affection the story feels towards its protagonist kind of works. It wouldn't be a Bruce Lee story without opportunities for martial arts action, and Walk of the Dragon delivers, from stopping a mugging to a Birth of the Dragon reenactment that turns real. Bruce Lee: Walk of the Dragon One-Shot art by Brandon McKinney and[...]
Jimmy's Bastards #7 cover by Andy Clarke and Jose Villarrubia
John Kalisz's colorwork keeps a decent balance of wild color and dower darkness from scene-to-scene. Jimmy's Bastards #7 swings the series back into my good graces with delightfully gory action and character growth for a character that deliberately makes James Bond look like a monk The issue manages to balance its satire with a slightly touching[...]

Irrational Numbers: Subtraction #5 cover by Giancarlo and Flavia Caracuzzo
Plus, he is being aided by mysterious allies with great means. Irrational Numbers: Subtraction #5 cover by Giancarlo and Flavia Caracuzzo If you're a loyal follower of my review work, you might remember that I was not a big fan of Irrational Numbers: Subtraction #1 It came off as an uninteresting entry in the long lineage of[...]

Vampironica #1 Cover Greg Smallwood
The color art is well balanced, giving a lot of atmosphere to the darker scenes while staying on the lighter end for the non-bloodsucking sequences. Vampironica #1 is a solid action-horror comic set in Riverdale It's well paced, establishes the conceit quickly, and is a fun experience Greg Smallwood's artwork fits well and looks great If[...]
Grey's Sarah Drew, Blindspot's Michelle Hurd Set for 'Cagney & Lacey'

Assassinistas #3 cover by Gilbert Hernandez
This kills the action scenes, as they're made uninteresting The lack of color gradience and shading worsens the problem Every part of an object is the same tone and has the same amount of shadow. Assassinistas #3 has some interesting ideas at its core, but the clunky storytelling weighed down by superfluous flashbacks and the unforgivable[...]
