City of Dust #1 - Review

By Steve Niles (story) and Zid (art)
The Story: In the future, the world is ruled by an oppressive government where imagination, stories, and religion are outlawed. Officer Phillip Khrome is an upstanding servant of the law. But when he gets mixed up in the arrest and death of a religious man, the ghosts of his [...]

Freedom Formula: Ghost of the Wasteland #2 (of 5) - Review

By Edmund Shern (story), Kai and Jennyson Rosero (art), Yina Goh (colors)
This is one of the rare instances where the interiors of a Radical comic fail to meet up with the standards presented on the cover. I’m disappointed with this second issue. The storytelling is almost incomprehensible at times due to the muddled artwork. In [...]

Hercules: The Thracian Wars #5 (of 5) - Review

By Steve Moore (story), Admira Wijaya (art), Imaginary Friends Studios & Sixth Creation (colors)
A fitting end to what promises to be the first of many series. Hercules has delivered in just about every aspect a comic reader could ask for. And though this last issue has a few scenes that jump too quickly, it still [...]

Hercules: The Thracian Wars #4 (of 5) - Review

By Steve Moore (writer), Admira Wijaya with Imaginary Friends Studios (art)
Until now, Hercules has been restrained, a demi-god coming off more as a mortal with mythical stories behind his strength. Yet, as battle has shown, he is a master at the art of tactics and combat training. But his signature brute strength was never shown [...]

Freedom Formula: Ghost of the Wasteland #1 (of 5) - Advance Review

By Edmund Shern (writer), Chester Ocampo and Kai (art)
This isn’t a book I’d normally buy. Frankly, there was nothing in the promos that led me to believe this would appeal to my tastes. I’d gone through a manga phase years ago, and I could hardly see how something that’s “manga inspired” could be fun. I [...]

Hercules #3 (of 5) - Review

By Steve Moore (writer), Admira Wijaya (artist), Imaginary Friends Studios & Sixth Creation (art assists, colors)
Alright, so the overall plot’s become a tad more predictable with every passing issue. Big deal! Just because we know where the story’s going doesn’t mean this book’s not one heck of an entertaining ride. Much like Hercules’ skill as [...]

Hercules #2 (of 5) - Review

By Steve Moore (writer), Admira Wijaya (art), Imaginary Friends Studios (art & colors), Sixth Creation (colors)
Why anyone isn’t reading Hercules is beyond me. This is a smart and brutal series that war, history, and mythological buffs will truly enjoy. The character of Hercules is portrayed as a fighting tactician who has no concern of his [...]

Hercules #1 (of 5) - Review

By Steve Moore (writer), Admira Wijaya (art), Imaginary Friends Studios (colors)
Radical makes a very strong debut with Hercules. I remember this book being advertised as “a re-imaging of Hercules along the lines of Frank Miller’s 300“. I think that statement’s completely wrong. This is nothing like 300. Perhaps the only thing it has in common [...]
