Comic Book Corner – Descender

Edward Harding — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 15:00:13 +0000

Since I greatly enjoyed both Sweet Tooth and Black Hammer, I have been quite interested in reading the other works of prolific comic writer Jeff Lemire. Lemire’s Descender is a science fiction series that was first published by Image in 2015 and ran until 2018. The story totals thirty-two issues and is written by Lemire but features artwork from Dustin Nguyen. The story of Descender takes place…

Comic Book Corner – Do A Powerbomb!

Pro Wrestling is one of those things that I indulge in from time to time to appreciate the stunt work, but I wouldn’t call myself a die-hard fan. Nevertheless, when I heard of Do a Powerbomb! I was certainly quite excited. This seven-issue mini-series is written and illustrated by Daniel Warren Johnson, with colors by Mike Spicer. This is the same team behind Murder Falcon, one of my favorite…

Comic Book Corner: Radiant Black

Edward Harding — Mon, 06 May 2024 16:00:27 +0000

Despite the overabundance of superhero books, I do enjoy the genre quite a bit from time to time. I’m especially fond of hero stories not set within the cluttered multiverses of Marvel and DC. It’s great to see characters that have the freedom to face real consequences instead of being relentlessly rebooted and reimagined. Radiant Black is a standalone superhero comic written by Kyle Higgins and…

Comic Book Corner: Black Science

Edward Harding — Fri, 19 Apr 2024 18:00:20 +0000

Since I heavily enjoyed the expansive science fiction universe crafted by Rick Remender in Seven to Eternity, I figured it would be a good idea to check out another science fiction book from him. Black Science is published by Image Comics and was released in 2013 through to 2019. The book is written by Remender and features artwork from Matteo Scalera. The story totals 43 issues, but today I’ll be…

Comic Book Corner: Ice Cream Man

Edward Harding — Thu, 11 Apr 2024 16:00:03 +0000

I’ve covered a lot of books here, but have yet to dive into something from the horror genre. With summer on the horizon, Ice Cream Man is certainly the perfect book for some springtime scares. The series is published by Image Comics, written by W. Maxwell Prince, featuring artwork from Martin Morazzo, and with colors by Chris O’Halloran. As of now Ice Cream Man has around 40 issues in print and is…

Comic Book Corner: Manifest Destiny Part 2

Edward Harding — Tue, 12 Mar 2024 16:00:13 +0000

It’s been quite some time since I first covered Manifest Destiny, but I finally got around to reading the final few issues this year after the series concluded in 2022. This review will focus on the second half of the story, covering issues 25 through 48. These are collected in trade paperback within volumes 5 through 8. The story of Manifest Destiny is a fictional account of the Lewis and…

Comic Book Corner: Head Lopper Vol. 4

Edward Harding — Fri, 09 Feb 2024 18:00:22 +0000

This week I return once again to the Head Lopper series for the final published story arc as of now. This collection covers issues 13 through 16 which follows the Quest for Mulgrid’s Stair. There is no word as of now as to when the next issue will be released for the series. However, this volume certainly isn’t the definitive end as there are still many plot threads to be resolved.

Comic Book Corner: Head Lopper Vol. 3

Edward Harding — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 18:00:48 +0000

Picking up from last week’s Head Lopper story, this week I’ll be discussing issues nine through twelve which are collected into the third trade paperback. These issues cover the Knights of Venora story arc which picks up a few months after The Crimson Tower. In the aftermath of Zhaania’s death, Norgal wanders the land in a drunken rage slaughtering any monsters who dare cross his path.

Edward Harding — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 16:00:12 +0000

Last week I began my foray into the Head Lopper series by Andrew MacLean. Since then, I’ve acquired the rest of the series and will be working through each of the remaining collected additions in the coming weeks. This week I’ll be covering the “Crimson Tower” story arc which takes place within issues five through eight. After leaving the island realm of Barra, Norgal the Head Lopper allies…

Comic Book Corner- Head Lopper Vol. 1

Edward Harding — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 18:00:45 +0000

It’s been quite some time since my last comic book review, as I was putting off finding some new series I hadn’t yet discussed. With the new year upon us, I decided to kick things off with a simple title that being Head Lopper. Created and drawn by Andrew MacLean, the series debuted under the Image Comics label in 2015. Soon after, the first story arc presented over the first four issues was…
