Comic & Manga Reviews
Red Mother is arguably one of the more disturbing and chilling series I’ve been reading of late. And that’s saying something. Daisy’s tale is both alarming and intriguing, in just the right proportions. It’s also difficult to predict what will happen next, a fact that has surely increase the tension.
Wicked Things is the latest new series from a creative team many of you will recognize! John Allison and Max Sarin, the creators behind Giant Days, are once again working together to bring us a charming and fascinating new series. They’ll be working alongside artists such as Whitney Cogar and Jim Campbell too, so that is even more exciting.
Red Mother has been a truly chilling series, right from the start. In the span of just a few issues, Daisy has been through hell and back. Though perhaps not literally. Not yet, at any rate. What is in store for her is a lot less certain, so I’m not going to rule out that possibility.
Alienated #1 is the start of an all-new series from Boom! Box, and consider me sold! That cover alone is reason enough to check this issue out. The vibrant colors and characters showcased there are compelling and eye-catching.
Red Mother #2 is every bit as chilling as the first issue in the series. Though perhaps with a slight alteration in tone. Daisy is still in a fair bit of danger – though that fact has become less clear, as time takes her away from the events that took her eye (and her boyfriend).
Red Mother #1 is the start to an all-new psychological horror series from Boom Studios. If you’ve been looking for a good one to dive into, then this is the comic for you. Jeremy Haun (The Beauty, The Darkness), Danny Luckert (Regression, Haunted), and Ed Dukeshire (The Woods, Infinite Horizon) team up to bring us this chilling new read.

Lumberjanes #55 Publisher: Boom! Box Released: October 17th 2018 Rating: I know this is probably the most obvious thing ever, but my favorite issues of Lumberjanes are absolutely the ones where the magical kittens make an appearance.
