Fables #78 - Review

By Bill Willingham (Writer) Mark Buckingham, Peter Goss and Andrew Pepoy (Art) Lee Loughridge (Colours) James Jean (Cover)
The story: The war against the Adversary has been won and all seems to be well in Fable Town, much to my relief. I had feared that with the main story thread finally wrapping up, this series may have [...]

House of Mystery #6 - Review

By Matthew Sturges (Writer), Tony Akins (Prologue Artist), Andrew Depoy (Prologue Inker), Alex Wald (Prologue Colors), Luca Rossi (Artist), Lee Loughridge (Colors)

Young Liars #7 - Capsule Review

By David Lapham (writer/artist), Lee Loughridge (colors), Jared K. Fletcher (letters), Angela Rufino (asst. editor), Shelly Bond (editor)
5 Reasons why David Lapham’s Young Liars #7 gets a C-
5. Violence. Lots of violence. From a straw getting shoved into a guy’s eye, to a panel of a little girl blasting an adult in the face with [...]

House of Mystery #5 - Review

By Matthew Sturges (writer), Luca Rossi and Sean Murphy (artists), Lee Loughridge (colors)
Well, this did it. This sealed the deal for me. I’m officially dropping House of Mystery with issue #5. It’s not that it’s a horrible book - it’s just not for me. Matthew Sturges has tried valiantly to flesh out the character of [...]

House of Mystery #3 - Review

By Matthew Sturges (writer), Luca Rossi and Zachary Baldus (artists), Lee Loughridge (colors)
I’m still waiting for this book to make a left turn and become all “70s gothic-horror” on me. Other than a few fleeting moments from the first issue, it still hasn’t happened. Still, HoM #3 reads much better than the second issue. With [...]

House of Mystery #2 - Review

By Matthew Sturges and Bill Willingham (writers), Luca Rossi and  Jill Thompson (artists), Lee Loughridge (colors)
While I appreciate and enjoyed the story presented in this issue, I’ve got to admit I was a bit let down by the lack of “horror” elements. I guess this place can’t be scary all the time. Instead, HoM #2 [...]

By Matthew Sturges, Bill Willingham, Luca Rossi , Ross Campbell, Lee Loughridge
Horror and mystery fans gather ’round, your book has arrived. After being canceled in 1983, DC’s flagship horror title makes its triumphant return. And while the House of Mystery never really disappeared off the radar (it played a role in many of Neil [...]

Young Liars #2 - Review

By David Lapham (writer & artist), Lee Loughridge (colors)
Last issue we got introduced to the members of Young Liars. This issue we get the “origin” story of Danny and how he first met Sadie. Like one can expect, his former life is a depressing one. Danny is the lovable loser, just trying to get by [...]

Scalped #16 - Review

By Jason Aaron (writer), R.M. Guera (art), Giulia Brusco (colors)
Another excellent issue in the can by Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera. It feels like it’s been forever since I read the last issue, but I’m pretty sure the book’s coming out on time. I think it might be because this story arc has been flowing [...]
