28 Days Later # 23 – Review

The
survivors are trapped in a parking garage because the soldiers told
them that was the safest place. Then the lights go out and a horde of
zombies – I mean the “Infected” – appear
inside the room. The people scream for their lives and the soldiers are
shooting everywhere, killing both the Infected and the survivors. This
time it looks like it’s going to be the end for everybody. Janice gets
shot and killed by the bullets fired from the soldiers’ machine guns.  

The Li’l Depressed Boy #4 Review

While the previous issues of The Li’l Depressed Boy had wit and charm, this issue brings not only that but an emotional ending that makes me want to cry for LDB and thank Sina Grace for finally giving his true talent over to this issue art wise. This time LDB has to help the girl of his dreams clean her apartment after her birthday party was interrupted by the cops. Later when LDB shows up to her apartment again her roommate Jet tags along for a quick bite to eat and later a battle of epic proportions: laser tag.

Drums #1 – Advanced Review

This
story is a lie. Well most stories are anyway, but the creators of this
book are making sure you know this. Why? The subject matter of Drums
is so complex that to explain everything as it is would take an
encyclopedia to explain one of the three religions that the title
presents. But they accept this fact and say, “Hey bare with us, this is
not an accurate representation of real facts but a layman’s way to tell
an entertaining story based on all of these religions.” You see
Santeria, Palo Mayombe and Candomble are all derived from the Yoruba
tradition and all of them are very real religions. But the mainstream
tends to confuse them with voodoo or satanism. Drums is a title that takes the source material seriously. Here they represent this with care, with detailed and fictional liberties.

Courtney Crumrin Tales 2 – League of Ordinary Gentlemen – Review

The story of the Gentlemen Warlock continues in the second volume of Courtney Crumrin Tales and although reading the first volume enhances the story, you’ll find that it’s not required to enjoy the second volume. The tale begins with Alice and Aloysius pretending to be engaged while at Lady Emma’s latest party. They’re there on a Society visit and it’s soon revealed that Emma is actually sucking the life/beauty out of young women by bathing in their blood. Emma makes quick work of Lady Emma, who turns out to be Aloysius’ aunt, but the two allow Fred to take credit for the Society.

Soldier Zero #8 – Review

The last issue of Soldier Zero is a hard act to follow, but #8 does a good job of keeping up the action and building Stewart as a main character while also dumping a few members of his supporting cast. Stewart has an earth shattering secret revealed to him by the suits former host in the last issue and now he must fight to maintain control of the suit or lose himself to it forever. That and he must find a way to escape the government holding facility.
