Read MoreWraithborn #1-3 Review
Marcia Chen and Lady Mechanika Creator Joe Benitez Bring Us an Epic Urban Fantasy Wraithborn, simply put, is the story of an ordinary, shy teenage girl who mistakenly gets imbued with the power of the Wraithborn, the sole weapon against demons manifesting in the material world.

Read MoreBlack Jack Ketchum: A Fantasy Western Adventure Missing Some Faces
By: Nicole D’Andria Are fantasy western series the new “it” thing to do? First Greg Pak presented magic, racism and westerns in his announcement for Kingsway West at Dynamite Entertainment.

Read MoreZodiac Starforce #1 Advanced Review: Friendship isn’t always magic
By: Nicole D’Andria As a fan of magical girl anime, I was anxious to check out what many critics are calling Dark Horse’s take on Sailor Moon. Unfortunately, I didn’t think Zodiac Starforce #1 was very magical. But it certainly has the potential to be. Zodiac Starforce was a team of four teenagers, each one representing a sign of the zodiac: Emma, Kim, Savi and Molly. However, after defeating their major enemy Cimmeria, the team disbanded. Now the girls are more interested in passing exams than they are in saving…
Read MoreFight Like a Girl #1 Advanced Review: Not the Next Hit But…
By: Nicole D’Andria A slow build-up leads to a sub-par pay-off in this debut issue. Fight Like a Girl does a lot of things right but feels very paint by numbers at time.

Amarosa, a young girl, is fighting to cure her sickly brother. He will die if she fails the trials – and so will Amarosa! Writer David Pinckney took up…

By: Nicole D’Andria At the Image Comics Expo fans were hoping to hear that Kieron Gillen (Three, Young Avengers) and Jamie McKelvie (Suburban Glamour, Young Avengers) were continuing their popular Phonogram series with a third series. Unfortunately, they were disappointed. Instead, Gillen and McKelvie announced they were going to be the creative team on a new Image comic book: The Wicked & The Divine.
