I cleared out my file, so I have a lot to read! Some cool new stuff tho!:
-Sonic 900th Adventure. A fun read with some cool, eye catching covers. A nice palate cleanser.
-Sacrificers 2. The saga continues, and it turns out that no one really knows anything. Or do they? Someone knows something about what’s going on, and that’s enough. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous art, layout, coloring, etc etc.
-Daredevil 1. My one work buddy keeps trying to sell me Daredevil as Marvel’s best storyline. I haven’t read enough to have an opinion yet, but it’s a new start. Get in on the ground floor with me!
-The Alternates 1. Set in Patton Oswalt’s ‘Minor Threats’ world. Need I say more? The cover(s) alone was enough.
-The Cull 2. Reread number one if you can; and start taking notes. The art is gorgeous and the story is compelling- lots of little details that can be overwhelming at first. I hope these kids will be alright.
Ok, Star Wars: Dark Droids is really good. Make sure to pick up a copy at your #LocalComicShop! I recommend picking up issues 37 and 38 of both the main Star Wars title and the Vader side story as well, if you hunger for more…
#ComicsReview: Star Wars Dark Droids No. 1 (2023) - Charles Soule, Luke Ross, Alex Sinclair
First, it comes for the metal…and then, it comes for everything else. This #StarWars spin-off is properly chilling, with Soule’s writing setting the foundation for what will almost certainly be a thoroughly horrifying miniseries.
The art is gorgeous and dramatic, eerie and unsettling. Even if you’re like me and not the biggest Star Wars fan in the world, I still recommend this one quite heartily. 4/5 stars.
#ComicsReview: The Sacrificers (2023) - Rick Remender, Max Fiumara
Tomorrow is a paradise, eternally peaceful and harmonious- thanks to five families who must sacrifice one of their children every year. This year, a son never loved by his family, yet expected to give everything, and an affluent, rebellious daughter determined to end the unnaturally protracted #utopia of the sun’s reign.
Lush and richly colored, this comic draws you in with its incredible composition and interesting characters. This one has minimal exposition, relying on the art and dialogue to convey the story instead. Set to be three issues, this one is definitely worth the read. Plus, holy heck new Rick Remender! 4/5 stars.
