Sledgehammer 44 #1

The concept given to audiences in this release is not complicated in the slightest sense, but nonetheless if you don't buy into the basic idea you'll quickly find yourself less than enthused with this book.  But with that said if you're willing to turn down the noise in your brain and just have fun with it you'll be pleasantly surprised by what you find in this epic journey.

4.5/5

Shrugged (vol.2) #1

What we have here is the start of the second volume of Shrugged, and the question facing the franchise at this juncture is whether or not it's still something that needs to be owned?  Truth is this release spends a good deal of time retreading the closing beats of the previous iteration as it attempts to set things in motion in order to cement a direction for any potentially new readers.

4/5

The Shadow #10

When you open a comic book like this there are certain predetermined expectations placed on the creative team.  At a relatively young run with only ten issues, an annual and a special at its back fans know exactly what they're looking for from this continuing saga, and they can rest assured the creative team does not disappoint in this latest outing.

4.5/5

TriggerGirl 6#1

TriggerGirl 6 #1 is simply a narrative that needed to be shared, because sometimes people honestly need to deviate from the path we normally take. Recommended.

Peter Panzerfaust #10

When this original concept first surfaced I, like many people, had no idea how to react to it.  The idea of taking one of the most instantly recognizable fairy tale properties and setting it within World War II sounded outlandish at best.  But through it all this adaptation has proven its worth time and again, as this latest release proves itself underneath that mantle.
