Marvel Two-in-One #3 cover by Jim Cheung and Frank Martin
Despite being a comic-based site, several of our movie and TV writers just don't have the time to keep up with comics This is the last comics-based episode I will be hosting before some of Bleeding Cool writers branch into their own show (the title of that show is still pending). So, over the course of[...]

bonehead #2
I'll be keeping my eye out for issue #3. You can pick up Bonehead #2 now for $3.99 through Image Comics. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Previously, I was far from impressed with Bonehead #1. While I felt that the series had potential, it was weighted down with clumsy dialogue and the tendency to over explain But the gorgeous[...]
Shadow/Batman #4
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] It's not often that a comic book offers up what seems like true, impossible hopelessness — at least, not at the scale that The Shadow/Batman #4 brings to the table Continuing the reveal of the Silent Seven's reach, #4 is bathed in frustration and stress in a totally fantastic way Writer Steve Orlando doesn't[...]
Secret Weapons #0 Review: Not Just for the Birds
But it's that latter half of superheroes — branded "psiots" — that Secret Weapons #0 focuses on. The plot begins much like a lot of comic books do There are special people in the world who, with invasive surgery, can develop extraordinary gifts This all might sound familiar if you've already read the main Secret Weapons[...]

Bonehead #1: In a futuristic city, roaming gangs nicknamed “Boneheads” use specialized gear to circumvent the law and traverse the world all in the name of adrenaline and recognition. But is it a good read?
jem and the holograms: dimensions
Keenan's art is beautiful, but not particularly well suited to a comic like Jem and the Holograms, which is arguably known for how diverse and dramatic each girl looks In "Face Off" the bands don't feel like their normal, vibrant selves Even their outfits are toned down with a more modern style that shies away[...]
Jem and the Holograms: Dimensions #1
Before each tale are notes to let you know just when it takes place, using the latest comic Jem and the Holograms: Infinite as a reference point With two stories per issue you won't find the complex, sci-fi plot of its predecessor, but Dimensions has plenty of charm all on its own. Issue #1 starts with "Catnap", a[...]
Wired Up Wrong
I know a small percentage of our world loves to ingest their comics with a literal mind (things must happen!), and those folk need to know that the promised dog fight from the cover never happens… so, y'know, quell that disappointment now. Still, Smith's cartooning is in constant piss take mode with Smith's depression, and it's[...]

#NewMutants pic.twitter.com/EXPmzRarr7 — 20th Century Fox (@20thcenturyfox) October 13, 2017 The X-Men New Mutants comic was first published in 1982 from authors Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz, as well as artist Bob McLeod.

Shadow batman
Melding both the comic book aesthetic and the grittiness of noir creates a home run that made you want to savor each page It easily fills in the gap between dialogue and expands the story as a whole. The only unfortunate thing is that Orlando's writing actually works against him in some ways The "cliffhanger" twist[...]
gwenpool
No one is expecting Paste Pot Pete to become a fixture in comics, but his over-the-top antics don't garner much attention when everyone is operating on the same level of ridiculousness. And we're given no space to really breathe Every page is trying to cram something in and absolutely none of it works Any chance that[...]
long lost
[rwp-review-recap id="0"] Slick art, a chilling story, and a palatable sense of dread; welcome to Long Lost. With their attention to detail and allowance of their story to expand and move on its own unburdened by unnecessary dialogue, Matthew Erman and Lisa Sterle have created an incredibly effective horror comic Unease is the name of the game[...]
