The year is 1893, four years after Batman’s encounter with the Ripper and something uneasy stirs in Gotham again. It isn’t just that a glowing green ring from a museum exhibition is stolen by a female thief dressed up like a cat, but that this act also attracts the attention of the infamous assassins known […]
Ostensibly, this series is about Lauren Thomas trying to figure out what her heart’s desire is and how it can be granted by the succubus and incubus that are competing to do so. Except Lauren’s issues cause Leila (the succubus) to get some lingering scars when she has to rescue her from being sucked into […]
He was once the most feared asset of the Eurasian Republic, and their greatest weapon against the mutant freedom fighters in the Opposition. Now, he’s back to who he was and Logan is fighting with his friends and comrades again against those who would see them all dead. That means taking the fight to the […]
In this volume: Saitama and Garo fight. A lot. To the point where Garo gains cosmic awareness, powers up, and starts throwing punches with the strength of nuclear explosions. He even whips out a Gamma Ray burst at one point that we’re told would annihilate the Earth if it touches the ground. While this is […]
Geralt of Rivia’s travels have taken him to the snow-covered land of Dol Gwyn where he hopes to use his talents to make himself less broke.

Gyoro and Johnny were left sinking in a mudpit as they faced smoldering doom from the animals outside of it when we last saw them. Things seemed really dire for our protagonists, but Gyoro has a plan that involves Johnny’s fingernail bullets that might just save them – provided the younger man can learn it […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: G.I. Joe vol. 4: The Hunt For Energon It may be subtitled “The Hunt for Energon” but payoff looks to be the name of the game for the fourth volume of this series. I mean, just look at that cover. Duke’s hatred of all things Cybertronian following his close encounter with Starscream has […]
