by Ryan Thomason under READ on May 10th

Every time I start another vampire story I always say to myself that I’m going to hate it and that it will only end up being a waste of time. Yet again, I’m proven wrong.

Green Wake #2 – Review

by Fatty The Hutt under READ on May 2nd

So I just read the first two issues of “Green Wake,” and I am hooked. Green Wake is a brand new series published by Image comics- written by Kurtis Wiebe and art by Rossmo. If I’m pressed to describe Green Wake, the best that I can do is to call it a noir with supernatural mystery. It takes place in a town called Green Wake, that honestly makes me think of purgatory (think C. S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce). The...

I guess it’s understandable, since Bruce Wayne has the whole mugger in an alley and murder happening thing going for him.

Comic Review, Chip ‘N’ Dale: Rescue Rangers #2

by Ryan Thomason under READ on Jan 6th

I’ve been reading the Chip and Dale comics for one reason only. Nostalgia. Rescue Rangers #2 takes me back to a place where I remember sitting in the playroom at my parents’ house as a kid and watching the TV show. Though it’s been a long time, how does the revitalized comic hold up?
