Skulldigger & Skelton Boy #2 (Review)

SKULLDIGGER & SKELETON BOY #2 Writer: Jeff Lemire Artist: Tonci Zonjic Letterer: Steve Wands Publisher: Dark Horse Rating: 9/10 Join me as we once again, walk through the seedy underbelly of Spiral City. It is here, in this dark era, that we see the exploits of Skulldigger and his new sidekick, Skeleton Boy. Lemire and Zonjic are crafting what might be the best Hammerverse book yet. Two issues in and I've literally been poring over every page to absorb everything this book ha

Sword Daughter #9 (Review)

SWORD DAUGHTER #9 Writer: Brian Wood Artist: Mack Chater Letterer: Nate Piekos Publisher: Dark Horse Rating: 6/10 Pretty much everything about this issue is unfortunate. I have been a huge fan of Brian Wood for many years but due to some recent developments Dark Horse dropped Wood from all projects and he's essentially been black listed. The reason why it's unfortunate for this issue of Sword Daughter is that this series was originally planned as an ongoing and this being the

Invisible Kingdom Volume 1(Review)

INVISIBLE KINGDOM VOL. 1 Writer: G. Willow Wilson Artist: Christian Ward Letterer: Sal Cipriano Publisher: Dark Horse Comics Rating: 4/5 stars To say that I went in with high hopes for Invisible Kingdom would be an understatement. I couldn’t tell which drew me in more, G Willow Wilson’s world-building or Christian Ward’s hypnotic artwork. Both are fantastic artists in their mediums and this book is a dynamic culmination of skill. The story follows Vess who struggles to find f

A Dark Night In Spiral City (Skulldigger & Skeleton Boy # 1 Review)

SKULLDIGGER & SKELETON BOY #1 Writer: Jeff Lemire Artist: Tonci Zonjic Colorist: Dave Stewart Letterer: Steve Wands Publisher: Dark Horse Rating: 10/10 New Black Hammer books are always good news and this might just be the best spin off yet. If you're not familiar with the world of Black Hammer, I highly suggest you go pick up the first volume of the main series. This whole world is a love letter/homage to the world of superheroes. It's also becoming perhaps my favorite super

Butcher of Paris #1 Review

BUTCHER OF PARIS #1 Writer: Stephanie Phillips Artist: Dean Kotz Colorist: Jason Wordie Letterer: Troy Peteri Cover Aryist: Dave Johnson Publisher: Dark Horse Rating: 8/10 First off I have to say that I'm a huge history buff, so whenever I see a book, comic , or film that's based on true events, I immediately gravitate towards it. This book is a perfect example of that. Perhaps one of the most horrific times in human history was during WWII, when Hitler and his Nazi's occupie

The Suite Life From Umbrella Academy (The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion Review)

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY: HOTEL OBLIVION Writer: Gerard Way Artist: Gabriel Bá Colorist: Nick Filardi Letterer: Nate Piekos Publisher: Dark Horse Rating: 9/10 Yelp Review Hello. There were two things that drew me to The Umbrella Academy when I flipped through the first issue I picked up from the series (Hotel Oblivion #1). One was the fact that these characters to me came across as essentially X-Men to a further degree of being messed up and a more intelligent yet highly damaging

NO ONE LEFT TO FIGHT #5 Writer: Aubrey Sitterson Artist: Fico Ossio Colorists: Fico Ossio with Raciel Avila Letterer: Taylor Esposito Publisher: Dark Horse Rating: 8/10 HOLY SHIT!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!! That was my initial reaction when I read the first issue of this series. The book was unlike anything I had ever picked up before. I never watched that much anime or read any Manga. So this was definitely a unique experience. Having said that, I really enjoyed this series a lot.

Don't Underestimate An Aging Warrior (Crone #1 Review)

CRONE #1 Writer: Dennis Culver Artist: Justin Greenwood Colorist: Brad Simpson Letterer: Pat Brosseau Publisher: Dark Horse Rating: 8/10 The tale of aging warriors isnt a new idea by any means, but when I first learned of this new series from Dark Horse it caught my eye. For the past few months they've been putting out some great new titles, quietly wowing comic book fans. Well I'm here to tell you that they've done it again. Dennis Culver and Justin Greenwood have crafted a

THE KUROSAGI CORPSE DELIVERY SERVICE Writer: Eiji Otsuka Artist: Housui Yamazaki Publisher: Dark Horse Warning, this is a dark one! I recently picked up this big omnibus edition, based on it’s really cool cover. The title and synopsis are a clear giveaway that death is the main topic of this manga. It doesn’t sound very enticing, mainly weird and obviously I had to bring it home with me. Whenever a manga is wrapped in plastic, you can be assured of NSFW pages. The fact I coul

Yes after many years without The Mask gracing the pages of a comic book, all of us Mask fans can rejoice. While most people know the character from the awesome movie starring Jim Carrey, the character originally started in comics created by John Arcudi and Doug Manhke. I still

RYAN'S PICKS EVERYTHING #1 Ok I'll admit the initial reason I wanted to check this book out, was the fact that it was part of the Berger's Books imprint at Dark Horse. Everything that has come out from them has been critically acclaimed. Now I know why. I won't get to much in to the details, I'll leave my review for that, but I will say that this is without a doub

While Dark Horse was the previous owner of the Conan property, Marvel now has the rights back. So by Crom!, Dark Horse had to do something about it. Who better to launch a new axe wielding, sword

The Comic Lounge Picks of the Week (8/7)

GREEN LANTERN #10 This series has been nothing short of amazing. Not since the great Geoff Johns has GREEN LANTERN been this good. From the fertile mind of Grant Morrison and the imaginative imagery of Liam Sharp, this has been one of the best books month in and month out. This issue brings together Green Lanterns from around the Multiverse, and since I'm a sucker for alternate worlds this is my top pick for the week. Here's the solicit: Twelve parallel worlds!
