Comic Book Review – Paper Girls #5

by

Zeb Larson reviews Paper Girls #5… END OF STORY ARC! The first arc of the smash-hit ongoing series concludes with major revelations and another game-changing cliffhanger. Paper Girls’ first arc has been a mystery wrapped inside a riddle, stuffed into an enigma cannon, and fired into a black hole. It’s not that Vaughan hasn’t been […]

Comic Book Review – Nailbiter #20

by

Zeb Larson reviews Nailbiter #20… The new serial killer strikes again! Plus, a major death that will rock NAILBITER for years to come! Ugh. I had hoped that taking a break from Nailbiter for a few issues would make reading it a little easier, maybe put a fresh perspective on the book. Unfortunately, it didn’t. […]

Comic Book Review – Chew #54

by

Jessie Robertson reviews Chew #54… Amelia feels doom. This issue of Chew felt really short; although it had a nice rounded out complete story that sort of gave Amelia some time to be center stage once again. As Chew nears its final issue (which we saw a horse named 60 Issue Run make a cameo) […]

Comic Book Review – Bitch Planet #6

by

Zeb Larson reviews Bitch Planet #6… “Extraordinary Machine” uncovers the past of the Bitches’ secret weapon Meiko Maki, how she went from promising engineer to killer—and the ace up her sleeve. Note: I don’t normally include trigger warnings in my reviews. However, because the creators of Bitch Planet #6 did so, I feel it would […]

Zeb’s Top Ten Comic Books of 2015

by

In my case, most of my reading is concentrated in smaller publishers, especially Image. Still, a few other worthwhile books make this list. Take it for what you will. Bitch Planet It’s not […]
