Comic Book Wins and Losses, Week of May 2nd, 2018: We're Back, Baby
It's cathartic and taps into something deep. Jeff Lemire, Max Fiamura, and Dave Stewart have created an awesome series here. * * * * * That's another entry of Comic Book Wins and Losses complete! 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[...]
Avengers #1 cover by Ed McGuinness
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[...]
Terrifics #3 cover by Ivan Reis and Marcelo Maiolo
The team has great chemistry, Jeff Lemire knows how to best present them, and the artistic team of Joe Bennett, Sandra Hope, Jaime Mendoza, Art Thibert, and Marcelo Maiolo do great visual work on the page This one gets a recommendation Give it a read. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] The Terrifics find themselves bound to each[...]
Comic Book Wins and Losses, Week of April 17th, 2018: One Bat Flies and the Other Falters
The ending scene with T'Challa and Storm is especially enjoyable, and Leonard Kirk's art is quite solid. Black Hammer: Age of Doom #1 cover by Dean Ormston Loss: Black Hammer: Age of Doom #1 Doesn't Impress I've become fond of Jeff Lemire's Dark Horse-based Black Hammer line of comics in the past year, but Age of Doom #1 was not among its better installments[...]
Black Hammer: Age of Doom #1 cover by Dean Ormston
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[...]
Gideon Falls #2 cover by Andrea Sorrentino
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[...]

Comic Book Wins and Losses April 11th, 2018: Sorting Out the New Series'
I wasn't expecting to be reminded of Animosity: Evolution while reading a Sonic the Hedgehog comic. Gideon Falls #2 cover by Andrea Sorrentino Win: Gideon Falls #2 is Just as Mysterious and Grabbing Gideon Falls #2 by Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave Stewart continues to be impressively grabbing for a comic that is presenting fairly plain narratives surrounding a greater mystery that the comic is keeping especially[...]
Bleeding Cool Comics Chatter, Week of April 11th, 2018: Read Terrifics Instead of Immortal Men
We wound up back upon Terrifics by Jeff Lemire and Ivan Reis, because it is such a good book, and it's worth telling people to read it at every available opportunity We digressed into Original Sin by Jason Aaron and Mike Deodato Jr. a little while talking Exiles because of the Unseen/old Nick Fury connection therein. In any case, the link to the video is below[...]
Quantum Age
From the creative team of Jeff Lemire, Wilfredo Torres, Dave Stewart, and Nate Piekos, and featuring a cover by Torres and a variant by Christian Ward, The Quantum Age is a six-issue mini-series set a thousand years in the future of the Black Hammer universe. From the "C2E2 2018" press release: In the world of the Eisner Award-winning[...]
Comics for Your Pull Box, Week of 03/28/18
Hopefully, it will only get better from here. Terrifics #2 cover by Ivan Reis and Marcelo Maiolo Terrifics #2 Jeff Lemire and Ivan Reis put their best foot forward with Terrifics #1, and my excitement for this series continues to be high With a team like Mister Terrific, Metamorpho, Plastic Man, and Phantom Girl, the series has to be good, or, at[...]

gideon falls
A press release from Image Comics proclaims that Gideon Falls #1, the hit new comic from Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, and Dave Stewart has been "rushed back to print same day as release," revealing that the comic has not only sold out, but it has sold out so urgently that somebody had to drop whatever they[...]
Terrifics #1 cover by Ivan Reis and Marcelo Maiolo
This chatter went off the rails somewhat, as Eliot and I discussed just about every Jeff Lemire title except Terrifics #1 We digressed into Old Man Logan, Green Arrow, Justice League United, and Xtraordinary X-Men This is what happens when both co-hosts lose track of the topic, even for a few minutes[...]

If he is to survive and protect his daughter, he must advance and avoid danger with Hound leading the way. Bloodshot Salvation #7 cover by Jeff Lemire I'm going to cut to the chase with this book There is one page of art The rest are black pages with caption and inexplicable paneling That's right The majority[...]
