Big Girls #2 Review: A Superlative Sci-Fi Accomplishment
The boys are becoming seemingly mindless, mutated monsters that barely resemble humanoids called "Jacks."

The cover of Big Girls #2 Credit:[...]
Big Girls #1 Review:
Some of the best speculative fiction takes a big What If question, and, in effort of answering that question, builds characters and entire mythologies. Stephen King, for example, is known to work that way, where he begins with a core curiosity ("What if a vampire came to a small town?") and unravels it all from there. Big Girls by[...]

Image Credits: Image Comics The work here done by Jason Howard is really impressive in that every line, every nuance of color and every word of dialogue came from his singular imagination The characters he presents here (the lawman High Marshall James Tannik, the giantess Ember, the vexed Martin Martinez, the focused Dr Slates) are well[...]

Trees Shows Humans Are Only One Tiny Piece Of Existence

Of course, Trees would not be complete without the stunning artwork by Jason Howard.  Howard provides a slightly cartoony style to his people, but his landscape shots are nothing short of gorgeous.  People and cities alike have character and expressions and his use of colors is on point.  I love Jason[...]
