SAMMI'S PICK - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Annual...

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

So the Turtles all come back together after a 'lost year' and the stories made Sam want to cry. Yeah, that's typically the sign of a really good comic or a really bad one. I'm assuming the former.

A sequel series to the cult classic Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow? AJ is extremely perturbed Sam sniped this review out from under him but hey, it's still awesome... I Think is what Sam's verdict is.

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

Ooh, Disney greenlit a story about Maleficent that isn't trying to turn her into Elphaba from Wicked. Awesome!

SAMMI'S PICK - Universal Monsters: Dracula Black &...

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

Image Comics hits hard this Halloween with a beautiful rendition of Dracula, the living dead. At least that's what Sam says.

Godzilla Vs America: Kansas City #1 (IDW Publishing)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

You know this is going to be a fun on a bun book, even if I don't think anyone can really say anything about Kansas City other than it's actually in Missouri. Except maybe they have good sauce? I'll have to investigate further.

Supernatural #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

It's good to see that even after a series ends, there'll be books put out that feel like cash-grab tie-ins, complete with being set in between Seasons 1 and 2. Sigh. SUPERNATURAL #1, written by Greg Pak, art by Eder Messias, colors by Thyago Brandao, with letters by Jeff Eckleberry.

Thundercats: Cheetara - Worldbreaker #1 (Dynamite...

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

So apparently before she was the cool chick that made the '80s really debate on the cutoff line for "furry", she was "not like the other girls" and a bit of a priss with psychic powers. Okay. Wish a book that used "historic" in their solicit actually was worth owning though. THUNDERCATS: CHEETARA - WORLDBREAKER #1, written by Nate Cosby, art by David Cousens, colors by Rashan Kurichiyanil and Arancia Studio, with letters by Jeff Eckleberry.

Synthetics Vol. 1 #1 (Dark Horse Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

How can you write a cyberpunk book in the current Gibsonian dystopian we're in and still make it feel like it would have been oldhat in the late 2000s? JSM found a way! SYNTHETICS: VOLUME ONE #1, written by J. Michael Stracynzski, illustrated by Tony Parker, colors by Carrie Strachan, with letters by Steve Dutro.

X-Vengers #1 (Marvel Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

This book may have been pretty good if there wasn't just a massive vagueness on the actual makeup of the world or even the notion that there would need to be an Avengers team that involved in the Revelation plot. Neat redesigns though, kinda... a little. X-VENGERS #1, written by Jason Loo, pencils by Sergio Davila, inks by Aure Jimenez, colors by Rain Beredo, with letters by Joe Sabino.

Undeadpool #1 (Marvel Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

Of course Tim Seeley had to release a comic in October that was a zombie Deadpool playing a round of slasher villain with some hapless teen mutants. Oddly, it's a lot better than that idea seems. UNDEADPOOL #1, written by Tim Seeley, art by Carlos Magno, colors by Guru-eFX, with letters by Joe Sabino.

Expatriate X-Men #1 (Marvel Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

Ewing, art by Francesco Mortarino, colors by Raul Angulo, with letters by Ariana Maher.

Cloak Or Dagger #1 (Marvel Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

The first start of my review is me complaining to high hell about how much the marketing for this went for Marvel Rivals as if that was their only reason to have a comic (sadly it probably is) but damn if the actual issue didn't make me love it by the end. CLOAK OR DAGGER #1, written by Justina Ireland, art by Lorenzo Tommetta, colors by Andrew Dalhouse, with letters by Joe Caramagna.

Superman Red & Blue 2025 Special (DC Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

When you get four Eisner-nominatd writers on a book, naturally it's going to be a hell of a book to read.

en

5:26

Absolute Batman Annual 2025 (DC Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/11/13

I'll admit I didn't care about the origins of the Batmobile until the cover of the book is Absolute Batman versus a the racist restaging of The Crazies but now that it's pissed off the right sort of people, really gotta give it big props. “Batman Burns Down Neo-Nazis as any hero should” writing and art by Daniel Warren Johnson, colors by Mike Spicer, with letters by Clayton Cowles.

War Wolf #1 (Mad Cave)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/10/31

I will most definitely say this is a phenomenal book, but that solicit legitimately annoys me and almost hurts the actual book in reading it. WAR WOLF #1, written by Steve Orlando, art by Marco Perugini, colors by Pascal Tora, with letters by Lucas Gattoni.

The Terminator: Metal #1 (Dynamite Entertainment)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/10/31

Oh definitely.THE TERMINATOR: METAL #1, written by Declan Shalvey and Rory McConville, art by Lorenzo Re, colors by Colin Craker, with letters by Jeff Eckleberry.

Lady Gunfighter Condemnation #1 (Coffin Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/10/31

My inner 13 year old can never hate a book that is a Badass Chick Comic where you have a badass chick going around doing basically what every machismo machine male action hero was doing in the '80s. It's awesome. LADY GUNFIGHTER: CONDEMNATION #1, co-written by Brian Pulido and Mike MacLean, illustrated by Joel Gomez, colors by Hedwin Zaldivar, with letters by Marshall Dillon.

Hector Plasm: Hunt The Bigfoot #1 (Image Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/10/31

It's fun. You should read it. It's hard to truly express the merits of a book that's just kinda fun. Read it and laugh. HECTOR PLASM: HUNT THE BIGFOOT #1, written by Benito Cereno, art and letters by Derek Hunter, with colors by Spencer Holt.

X-Men: Book of Revelation #1 (Marvel Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/10/31

I don't know what to say. I mean it's not BAD, but the book itself doesn't really do anything. Aimless but not bad is still good right? X-MEN: BOOK OF REVELATION #1, written by Jed MacKay, art by Netho Diaz, inks by Sean Parsons, colors by Fer Sifuentes-Sujo, with letters by Clayton Cowles.

The Last Wolverine #1 (Marvel Comics)

First Issues NOW! ·

2025/10/31

Can we get this Wendigo to be the breakout character a la Blink from AoA or Miles from the Ultimate Universe? I won't mind if he gets to the 616 proper, either. This was legit spectacular! THE LAST WOLVERINE #1, written by Saladin Ahmed, art by Edgar Salazar, colors by Carlos Lopez, with letters by Cory Petit.
