  • The Lunar Chronicles: Fairest Review

    Meyer does it again with this prequel to her popular Lunar Chronicles series. Fairest is technically a prequel as it sets up events years before Cinder but it was released between Cress and Winter. But since it’s such a stand-alone you can read it before, after or in between. The main point is to give…

  • Archie and Katy Keene Review

    The third volume of Nick Spencer’s run bringing Katy Keene to the new world of Riverdale brought me disappointment unfortunately.

  • Jughead Vol. 3 Review

    Remember how I said there was Reggie and Jughead bonding last volume? Well, here Reggie is once more a bigger part of the gang than he was in the other New Archie series. And it is during his inclusion in the gang’s video game competition that a bet goes terribly wrong. Jughead bets Reggie king…

  • Jughead Vol. 2 Review

    After Stranger’s ousting, Jughead is ready to go back to his normal schedule of video games and burritos (and burgers, and chicken wings, and milkshakes, and fries, and bacon, and popcorn and you get the idea) all summer long. Until his Dad kicks him out to hang out in the fresh air and sun. So…

  • Jughead Vol. 1 Review

    Chip Zdarskey was the perfect man for the job. His quirky, deadpan, and at times distracted narrative voice rambling on hamburgers and fourth wall breaks about writing the comics is the perfect segueway to getting into the one of a kind world of Jughead. He is having a ball in showing how Jughead is the…

  • The Archies Review

    I’m reviewing The Archies as one whole thing instead of two separate volumes as vol 1 only collects the first 3 and vol 2 collects the other 4. It’s 7 in all and really didn’t need to be split apart as they all follow smoothly into each other in one seamless musical journey.

  • The Archies Origin and Big Moose Review

    A origin sory to The Archies two volumes detailing their life as a band on the road, Alex Segura and Matthew Rosenberg work together to bring this cute one-shot detailing how the band got together. It’s a pretty typical narrative where Archie is desperate to start working on his dream of making music that people…
