  • SWORD #1

  • Vampirella: The Dark Powers #1

'Tis the season to be creeped out by haunted houses, apparently! Between a no-end-home experience in Home Sick Pilots #1, to the mysterious mind-games (pun intended) from Cullen Bunn's one-shot 'Piecemeal,' there's a whole lot of horror going on. And, as always, we are more than here for it.

The Daily Bugle is only publishing Black Cat listicles nowadays. 

Weekly Pull Highlights: January 29, 2020
  • Frankenstein Undone #1
  • Protector #1
  • Amazing Spider-Man Daily Bugle #1
  • Avengers of the Wasteland #1
  • Dr. Strange The End #1

​It's something special to witness when writers are allowed to build characters however they damn well please. This week, Mike Mignola holds no punches when it comes to playing our heartstrings in the new Frankenstein: Undone, while Ed Brisson brings us back to the wastelands of Old Man Logan in his new title. Plus, Leah Williams makes Dr. Strange a grumpy, old curmudgeon, which is really all I've ever wanted out of the character (he's just so sassy!).

Honorable Mentions: Episode 55 Follow-Up

All hail (a more nuanced and complex) Doom! 

Honorable Mention Highlights: December 11, 2019
  • Doom 2099 #1 (W: Chip Zdarsky; A: Marco Castiello)
  • Harley Quinn's Villain of the Year (W: Mark Russell; A: Mike Norton)
  • Captain Marvel #13 (W: Kelly Thompson; A: Lee Garbett)
  • Hack/Slash 15th Anniversary Special (W: Tim Seeley, Sam Eggleston, Brian Crowley, Jeff Bohn, Greg Ellner; A: Dan Leister, Jules Shapirov)
  • Criminal Macabre The Big Bleed Out #1 (W: Steve Niles; A/CA: Gyula Nemeth)

Doom 2099 #1 (Marvel Comics) 
I have really been enjoying the more considerate depictions of Doom lately; yeah, he's a bad guy, but now he's a bad guy with DEPTH. This one shot was no different, plus it rocks house with a great twist at the end that I should have seen coming, even if I didn't. Props to you, Chip.

Harley Quinn's Villain of the Year #1 (DC Comics) 
An awards ceremony issue where the winners we're actually voted on by readers. Honestly, this was super fun and I wish DC would do this every year. I don't know about you, but I actually voted on the various categories and it was cool seeing how my votes measured up compared to the winners.

Captain Marvel #13 (Marvel Comics) 
Yeah, so, CALLED IT. Ain't nobody dead (I guess?), and of course she's not REALLY evil. But I love that Kelly brings back characters from previous books she's written, and does so unapologetically. This book felt like a nice return to form, so even though I CALLED IT, I'm looking forward to the next issue.

Hack/Slash 15th Anniversary Special #1 (Image Comics) 
Nothing too fancy, but a nice reflection on the series if you've been a fan for a long while like I have. Tim Seeley does make a promise of something new to come, so I hope he follows through with that and gives us some more of Cassie Hack in the future.

Criminal Macabre: The Big Bleed Out #1 (Dark Horse Comics)
This book is trying too hard to be noir, filling in the "she walked into my office, and I knew I was done for" private eye monologue with a gruff guy's tale about falling for a vampire. Unfortunately, the only character I seem to really care about is our quiet, ghoulish partner-slash-protagonist's-friend, and he just wandered into the darkness. So, there's that.

Begone, Conan's pectorals! 

Weekly Pull Highlights: December 4, 2019
  • 20XX #1
  • The Butcher of Paris #1
  • New Year's Evil #1
  • Kill Whitey Donovan #1
  • Conan Serpent War #1
  • Angela Della Morte #1
  • X-Men #3

​We're low on sleep, but high on energy, and boy does it show. From the reveal of the genius logic behind the new X-Men run, to the strange use of the word 'fatty' in Angela Della Morte, we're giggling this whole episode, and hope you're as entertained as we are.
