Lauren Affe Archives

The Paybacks, a series set in the same world as the critically-acclaimed series Buzzkill, and concocted by the same creative team of Donny Cates and Eliot Rahal writing, Geoff Shaw on art, and Lauren Affe on colors, arrived for its first issue with pretty thunderous applause It is a rare thing to combine action/adventure with[...]

We were big fans of Buzzkill, the series by Donny Cates, Eliot Rahal, Geoff Shaw, and Lauren Affe that set up some of the tone and especially the humor and art quality that we see in the new series Paybacks, set in the same universe as the previous comic but only very loosely overlapping. Now, it's[...]

Despite what I've come to expect of this team, which includes the superbly talented Geoff Shaw on art and Lauren Affe on colors, I honestly did not expect this central premise It is pure madcap genius with painful relevance to modern life. Meet the deep in debt superheroes of The Paybacks who are forced to repossess[...]

Yes, Lauren Affe is our colorist supreme And…Yes, as you can see, Doctor Blaqk will be involved However, don't be deceived! This story isn't like anything you've ever really seen And yes, I realize people say that all the time But this time I am super-duper-mega-serious when I say that we are going to melt[...]

It's been one of the most interesting series of the autumn for its themes of addiction and it's wild mash-up of sci-fi and superhero elements, all drawn in a style that has plenty of nuance and colors by Lauren Affe that remain fixed in your mind long after reading First off, the cover for #5[...]

The cover promises some skull cracking, and kudos to colorist Lauren Affe's livid greens and purples She really seems to have her fingers on the pulse of creating a new ethos for action comics through subtle combinations of colors you might associate more with sci-fi than hero stories There's an LOL moment in the first[...]

The increasingly iconic Lauren Affe is still on colors (check out her work on Buzzkill, too) and here we have a formative experience in the life of Fabian Gray as he fields sharp insults and memorable instruction as a "wild brute" from a Japanese princess Five Ghosts deals in legends, and the legend in question[...]

It's a world of carnivalesque villains, where strange and even stranger things happen, but the book's leaps of imagination are curiously grounded in the rock-bottom state that Ruben experiences again and again. Written by Donny Cates and Toadies drummer Mark Reznicek, drawn by Geoff Shaw, and colored by Lauren Affe, it's a book with something to[...]
