Perfect Storm was previously an online comic strip created by comic book artist Rob Jones which was recently relaunched as a print comic book.

Full Story »Pink Raygun Reviews: Welcome to Tranquility (1-6)
I have the first three issues of lots of comic series’ in my closet. My general rule is to give a series three issues to grab my attention and get me invested in the characters. In the past few months, most comics haven’t been doing that for me, and it was getting pretty irritating. I [...]

We’re not seeing much about this on the interwebs, so here goes: Hot on the heels of Dark Horse’s continuation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the comic book series Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8, it looks like Oni Press will be continuing Joss Whedon’s series Angel with “Angel – Season 6,” written by [...]
Full Story »From the Stacks: Fray
In honor of the new FOX series, Drive, which premiered this month and features Nathan Fillion (Captain sexy-droolworthy-fangirl-eyecandy—I mean Captain Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly) and Tim Minear (Firefly/Angel writer extraordinaire), and also in honor of the new Buffy Season 8 comic book that has recently been published, I decided it was only right to do [...]
Full Story »Pink Raygun Reviews: The Walking Dead
As part of Zombie Week, I read all five trades of The Walking Dead in the space of two days. I never sit down and read one trade after another in a series; I like to space it out and prolong the magic, which why I’ve been reading The Sandman in trades for two years [...]

It was a slow week for comics. I walked out of Fantasy Comics with only two titles, Drain #1 and Crossing Midnight #1, and I had to forage pretty extensively to find those. This month I’ve just been waiting around for Eternals #6 and volume four of Seven Soldiers of Victory. Yes, I have the [...]

I read a lot of first issues of new comic series. This is partly due to my short attention span, but it’s also due to the price of comics. If a series doesn’t grab me in the first issue, I’m done. I’m not shelling out twelve or fifteen dollars over three or four months while [...]
