panBrian Michael Bendis is an otherwise very gifted author. But this passion project noir tale is aggressively mediocre. It traffics in all the clichés of the genre, bad dialogue, cartoonish characters, and stale melodrama. The art is a stark black and white, but executed with a less than steady hand. When compared to the work of Frank Miller, arguably the godfather of this style comic, reveals the pale imitation this book really is. Don‘t bother.
pickEvery issue of Black Science has clear dramatic stakes. Character growth emerges from pulse-pounding action. Remender stays away from likable protagonists, but Grant is complicated and dynamic. You never know what will happen next as the Pillar jumps the team through reality.
pick"Even the greatest sultan recognizes his better when he at last comes along."

Black Science is a throwback to pulp sci-fi. It has weird creatures, a cast of space voyagers with competing interests, and a mad scientist protagonist caught between his quest for knowledge and his family.

pickA ghoulishly fun graphic novel adaptation of the Stephen King-penned Creepshow, this little number is bursting with prosaic and artistic style pulled straight from the pages of the '50s-era horror comics that inspired it. While these are not the most clever stories King has written, there are some standouts, including "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill", "Something to Tide You Over", and "They're Creeping Up On You". 4/5
pickThis was an interesting read. I haven‘t really ever read any graphic novels before, but I found this to be a compelling story. I‘ve always been a fan of Batman and very much enjoyed reading this story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Got Absolute Watchmen on a whim from my library and the larger page scale makes such a difference. Gibbons' art absolutely soars from the bigger dimensions.
so-soThis features the return of Hicks and Newt.
Hicks has turned to alcohol due to his whole team being killed and him feeling the guilt.
Newt is getting psychological treatment, which she's not responding to.
Hicks has requested a mission back to Acheron and he's approved due to his experience, he smuggles Newt onto the ship and they embark on a mission with other soldiers and they race against the time to save the Human Race from itself.
This is me with the show Gotham right now 🦇
