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[...]

Be sure to check this one out. Black Hammer: Age of Doom #1 cover by Dean Ormston Black Hammer: Age of Doom #1 Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston bring us back to the world of Black Hammer as Lucy Weber takes up the mantle of the legendary Black Hammer Lucy finds herself on a strang world almost completely unfamiliar to her[...]

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[...]

Bloodshot is trapped in the Deadside with his daughter and the Bloodhound. He receives help, but it will lead him to even greater threats. Is it a good read?

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[...]

Dave Stewart's washed-out and often sepia colors match Fiamura's line work beat for beat, and the resulting comic is as tragic to look at as it is to read. Doctor Star and the Kingdom of Lost Tomorrows #2 is a solemn and heartbreaking tale of a father who left his son to be a superhero, and[...]

The budding Terrifics team reel from the message left by the mysterious Tom Strong, but they are forced to run before long. Something awakens, and it threatens to kill this team before it fully forms. Does it make for a good read?

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.

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[...]

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[...]

He hopes the grant will bring his wife, child, and himself out of poverty.

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[...]

Marcelo Maiolo's color art is very strong in this book too, bringing the visual identity together in an appealing fashion.

These two disparate characters have a connection; it only waits to be revealed. Gideon Falls #1 Cover by Andrea Sorrentino Gideon Falls brims with the unique Jeff Lemire storytelling method that many have come to know and love. It opens up in a very esoteric manner, not conveying much beyond scenarios and a bit of backstory for the[...]

We aren't really given specific reasons for his actions; he just feels that he needs to do these things. It's nice seeing Jeff Lemire return to DC with a comic this solid. If I had complaints, it would be that the ending makes all of this feel quite inconsequential On some level, you know that this comic[...]

Bloodshot: Salvation #4 brings the story of the Scarred Man and his younger brother, Danny. We learn of their tormented childhood, but is it a good read?
