And yes…I’ve read/heard these things said. Many times.
Dark Horse Presents #1 (2014)
Publisher: Dark Horse
So, this review is going to be a little different. Because DHP is an anthology, I’m going to rate and list the creatives for each story independently. Which may make a bunch of people hate me… Continue reading Dark Horse Presents #1 (2014)

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Annual 2014
Publisher: IDW
Words: Kevin Eastman/Tom Waltz Art: Kevin Eastman
Rating: 3.7/5
I have a special fondness for this annual. Not just because I love when Kevin Eastman gets to write and draw the Turtles again. Not just because the book goes back to classic gray-scale when the Turtles are transported through time and space. But because this reintroduces a character (Renet) that was originally introduced in the special Turtles/Cerebus issue way back when. And while Cerebus doesn’t make an appearance this time, it does seem as though the great warrior they befriend is wearing Cerebus’ helmet from that story…
Classic Turtles tale. And for anyone that has never read the original series but wants to see what it was like? This annual is the one you want to pick up.

Worry Walt – “Poor Mars”
Now we’re picking up steam a little bit. Yes, I will actually post some comics here from time to time (mostly Worry Walt).
Worry Walt was one of the last characters I created for the now quasi-soon to be defunct Meat-Sticks. And I love the little bugger, so I figured he was due for a return.
And yes, that means that some others might be coming back.

The Wicked + The Divine #3
Publisher: Image
Writer: Kieron Gillen Art: Jamie McKelvie
Rating: 3.7/5
I have a bit of a thing for Gillen and McKelvie. I love what I’ve seen of Gillen’s work and I love McKelvie’s style. Period. So, while I have yet to catch up on Phonogram (I know, I’m a bad boy) I made sure I got on right off the start for The Wicked + The Divine. And while the interaction for roughly the first half of the book was confusing, while still being fitting for two goth gods interacting, the second half brought it up nicely.
And obviously I still love Luci.
