WICKED THINGS #3 (of 6)
Charming, funny, and easily one of my favorite current pulls. This issue had one panel (not pictured) that made me do an actual, honest-to-goodness spit take. Just fabulous.

THAT TEXAS BLOOD #1
This debut surprised me 3 times: first with its disarming, slow-burn atmosphere, then with its subtle mix of grim humor and menace, finally with twists that whacked me upside the head. A solid start.

4 KIDS WALK INTO A BANK
Finally read this terrific, outrageous crime story: It’s brimming with nerdy tween friendship, dark humor, scandalous violence & some of the best comic SFX ever set to page. I’m dizzy.

UNDONE BY BLOOD #2
I’m enthralled with this grim, stylish noir-western. The novel woven through it adds a surreal touch, and the pages are just gorgeous.

SPIDER-MAN NOIR #1 (of 5)
Mashing up Spidey, Sam Spade & the Shadow, this pulp-era alternate universe tale swings in with guns blazing, super-cool chiaroscuro art, and fast-talking 1930s movie patter. Love it!

[179] THE LOW, LOW WOODS #3 (of 6)
A queer love triangle, surrealist body horror, and some deeply unsettling scenes. Still not sure what the hell is going on in this town but it keeps me coming back.

[177] FOLKLORDS #4 (of 5)
Walls are breached and stories spin as this fairy tale about fairy tales (and not-quite reliable narrators) spirals ever closer toward a dark, melancholy center.

[169] BANG! #1
Just when you think you know what’s going on, the creators of this slippery spy/sci-fi story whack you upside the head and laugh at your naïveté. Then they do it again. A terrific beginning.

[162] KILLADELPHIA #3
You like vampires? American History deep cuts? A little political commentary? How about raw, visceral violence and mind-blowing art? Man, have I got a book for you…
