Adventure Time: The Beginning of the End #1 cover by Victoria Maderna Adventure[...]

Jeff Lemire aims to faithfully recreate the British/German front in WWI, complete with brutal slaughter, disease, and nihilistic hopelessness. That makes it a bit more distracting that the story is centered on a pack of cyborg dogs The question becomes whether said cyborg dogs detract from the war-is-hell drama Your mileage may vary, but I'm inclined[...]

Xu arrives to share her experience with the ominous Black Barn.

See you again later today for the Comics for Your Pull Box for this week (May 9th, 2018). Apologies for the belated return and the lack[...]

It is art that evokes the feelings of sadness and the passage of time to match the same themes in Jeff Lemire's narrative Fiamura may have just been the perfect choice for this story Dave Stewart's color art matches it beat for beat with a colder and more faded palette displaying a world that has[...]

Though the comic is not really my speed, I can't deny how charming and lovable the leads are and how endlessly entertaining their dialogue is. Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows #3 cover by Max Fiumara Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows #3 In this spectacular continuation to the Black Hammer universe under Jeff Lemire and Max Fiumara, Doctor Star[...]

Jeff Lemire has crafted an interesting set of characters, and I still want to know what the heart of this mystery is The main problem is that this first issue takes a while to set itself up before getting to a concrete conflict. Black Hammer: Age of Doom #1 art by Dean Ormston and Dave Stewart Dean[...]

The latest issue of Image Comics' hit series Gideon Falls, from creators Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave Stewart has a serious defect According to a press release sent out by Image Comics, the issue is prone to flying off shelves It's unknown what went wrong in the printing process that could cause a normally inanimate[...]

Dave Stewart plays off this with cold and off-beat color art that makes the world all the more alienating yet enticing. Gideon Falls #2 is another perplexing yet grabbing issue of the Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino series This super team of creators are putting together something special here, even if it is playing coy with[...]
