Comic & Manga Reviews
Ohhh, these are perfect! I've read a few of the shorts from Bad Dreams in the Night (thanks to Patreon), but I definitely did not get to read all of them, so this was an absolute delight (terror). It's hard to pick my favorites, but I'd say that I loved Me and Evangeline at the Farm, Green Ribbon, Bus Stop, and Better Kate than Never the most.
Spencer & Locke is one series that hooks you in from the start. And the follow-up, Spencer & Locke 2, has been the same. This is the perfect read for anybody wanting a series with a seriously dark twist. Trust me, this series will never fail to surprise you with the twists and turns it takes.
The times seem to keep getting darker and darker in Something is Killing the Children #12. It's an impressive feat, given the title and nature of the series. This is a world where monsters are real and very hungry.
Eden tells the story of one desperate family trying to survive. Interestingly, their desperation comes in many forms. Gabe is a dreamer – he wants to see the good in everyone and everything. His wife is a realist – she'll look at everything in the worst light, so at least she'll never be disappointed. Meanwhile, their daughter is a tech genius who just needs to be given a chance to flourish.
The terrible tale of monsters hunting in one small town continues in Something is Killing the Children #11. Despite Erica Slaughter's best efforts (She didn't get that name for nothing!), the monsters are still rampaging.
Humanity has been discussing first contact with aliens for as long as we've daydreamed about space. In the far-flung future, that time is finally here. The Eo'Tax is an advanced civilization, and they're willing to work with humans to reach an understanding.
As it turns out, eradicating a monster population in a small town is not as easy as it sounds. Especially not when said monsters have had time to set up lairs and propagate. In Something Is Killing the Children #8, we're about to learn just how bad things can get. Again.
Erica Slaughter's journey seems far from over in Something Is Killing the Children #7. She may have killed the monster catching and eating children – but she hasn't ended events. Not yet, at any rate.
Something Is Killing the Children #6 starts an all-new plot arc titled ‘The House of Slaughter.’ For fans following the series, that alone should give us a good idea of what will come. And that’s a pretty exciting fact.
Oh wow. Catwoman: Lonely City is probably one of the better alternate timeline series I've read recently. It's dark and unafraid to play with characters and possibilities – precisely what we need.
