But could Batman have escaped from the Crossover event into this world, or is someone doing their best to be the Batman? Of course, Powers originally came from Brian Bendis' failed attempts to write for DC Comics' Batman Adventures comic book Bendis… so is this the moment when Deena Pilgrim comes face to face with her own[...]

Yesterday, Donny Cates took to the ReedPOP Retailer Event to plug his upcoming Image Comics series Crossover with Geoff Shaw and Dee Cunniffe, telling the assembled retailers that it took three years to organise to get all the various creators to sign on regarding their own intellectual properties And about a comic shop owner who dares to[...]

"Working on this book has been one of my personal high points in comics" say Alex de Campi "Every story is fantastic, every collaborator has been a delight to work with, and I[...]

Before Image Comics changed the description of the Comic-Con@Home panel currently playing out, it read as thus: Bestselling creative powerhouse team Donny Cates (God Country, Redneck), Geoff Shaw (God Country), Dee Cunniffe (Redneck), and John J Hill (Nailbiter) come together to announce what will be the biggest series launch of the year–Crossover[...]

However yesterday we get a big new glimpse at his new series with regular collaborator Geoff Shaw and colourist Dee Cunniffe This is the project that we previously dubbed 'God Hates Masks' though that is clearly not its name Though definitely its hashtag During which, he confirmed that it was for Image Comics. Donny Cates Shows[...]

After she finally escapes this place, she is plunged into a realm of violence and pain which leads to an endless highway where cars are constantly crashing. Her Infernal Descent #4 cover by Kyle Charles and Dee Cunniffe Her Infernal Descent #4 is the penultimate issue of this miniseries Lynn is getting closer to her family, and[...]

That sounds like a Saturday-morning cartoon villain motivation and isn't necessary to justify what Kyle has done. Animosity #15 art by Rafael de la Torre, Rob Schwager, and Dee Cunniffe Rafael de la Torre once again dazzles with his detailed and grounded art style which mixes smooth linework with the dirty color palette of Rob Schwager and[...]

Homer and one of the Sagan reps imply that this is someone dealing with grief badly, but both are framed as jerks in doing so. That said, the comic is a good "teens on an adventure" read, and it's pacing is actually quite solid, not leaving you waiting on something interesting to happen for very long. Lost[...]

Judge Dredd with kid gloves, but still Judge Dredd for all that. #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ Comic variants for Redneck #13 by Geoff Shaw & Dee Cunniffe and a sweet gatefold Rick through the years for Walking Dead #181 by[...]

I joke about how it's English major fodder, but it really is beautiful in its macabre manner. Her Infernal Descent #3 art by Kyle Charles and Dee Cunniffe Kyle Charles and Dee Cunniffe do an excellent job of realizing these themes and questions in the visuals Surrealist imagery litters the comic, and each environment has background details[...]

It's just a solid comic story. Punk's Not Dead #5 art by Martin Simmonds and Dee Cunniffe Martin Simmonds shakes up his art style for the scenes in the 1960's, and it's impressive to see an artist shake up their recognizable aesthetic so much It's a flatter style that capitalizes on the groovy 1960's idea When things[...]

I won't spoil, but it can get quite haunting in places. Her Infernal Descent #2 art by Kyle Charles and Dee Cunniffe Kyle Charles's artwork continues to impress with its ability to show subtle detail as well as grandiose depictions of biblical horror It's a faithful recreation of Inferno's descriptions while filling in the gaps with creativity[...]

That said, it is sure to be another notable location with memorable characters for Animosity. Animosity #14 art by Rafael de la Torre, Rob Schwager, and Dee Cunniffe The quality of Rafael de la Torre's artwork is, by now, well documented in my reviews of Animosity That said, rest assured that his textured, rough, and at-times even[...]

We learn more about Asif this way too. This is all to belabor the point that this comic book does some solid character work on its cast, and the scenario is ridiculous enough to be charming. Punk's Not Dead #4 art by Martin Simmonds and Dee Cunniffe Martin Simmonds once more impresses with his unique mixture of strong detailing[...]

It leaves the door wide open for another bloody issue of a Redneck, but it's more focused on the emotion of the situation than the potential for more death. Players on all sides of the conflict die, including some I personally didn't expect, and that's refreshing too. Redneck #12 art by Lisandro Estherren and Dee Cunniffe Lisandro Estherren's[...]

The fact that it's played for laughs isn't great, but it could be worse—hopefully it won't get worse. Punk's Not Dead #3 art by Martin Simmonds and Dee Cunniffe Martin Simmonds' artwork continues to be a gorgeous mixture of realistic detailing and textures and stylized character designs This presents an ever-so-slightly bizarre world that looks like you[...]

The boatman Charon is present and especially ghoulish himself. Her Infernal Descent #1 art by Kyle Charles and Dee Cunniffe Kyle Charles' artwork does an excellent job of visually capturing all these ideas The sadness of Lynn, the empty house, and the haunted Hell are all visually astounding and memorable The panel layout and spreads are both[...]

It also foreshadows an epic showdown for next issue (even if Redneck #9 also foreshadowed this to be happening immediately). Redneck #11 art by Lisandro Estherren and Dee Cunniffe Lisandro Estherren's artwork is dirty, gritty, and perfectly suited to the story of Redneck The world is grody and messy, the characters are rough and weathered, and it[...]

These two are compulsively readable. Punks Not Dead #2 art by Martin Simmonds and Dee Cunniffe Martin Simmonds's artwork continues to be impressively realistic, even if it does wander into the uncanny valley at times The figures often appear quite flat, and that's where the uncanny quality can arise That aside, the visuals of the comic still look[...]

That does make his status as a "Father" quite ironic. Redneck #9 art by Lisandro Estherra and Dee Cunniffe Lissandro Estherren's artwork has a gritty style to it that makes it quite fitting for Redneck The character designs definitely look like the kinds of people you find in the American South Landry is a towering and broad[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] The Wicked + The Divine #33 from Image Comics by Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie, Matthew Wilson, Clayton Cowles, and Dee Cunniffe is going to be a tough one to review without spoilers, but I'm going to try. What I will say is that this issue is a game changer And damned if I don't admit[...]

Studios by James Tynion IV, Eryk Donovan, Dee Cunniffe and Jim Campbell is the third and final in the creators' apocalyptic triptych A set of three, three part comic series that looked at different horrifying ways the world, or rather humanity, could end, starting with Memetic, followed by Cognetic and[...]

Lonnie Nadler & Zac Thompson writers, Eric Zawadzki artist, Dee Cunniffe colorist. Here's the thing about the noir genre: regardless of what medium it arrives in, it's incredibly difficult to pull off in the modern era (that goes for basically every "modern era" since the time of the original noirs ended about 50-60 years ago). If you[...]

I also appreciated the use of pearls on the first page, which seem to go hand in hand with cold blooded murder (like Batman's parents). Walsh and Dee Cunniffe are master colorists, using a similar color palette to Afterlife The dark colors set a fantastic mood, one that is eerie and reeks of death It's certainly[...]
