Prometheus: Fire & Stone #1 (Dark Horse)
I think this story works better as a comic than it did on the screen. I really liked this first issue, looking forward to more of these Aliens/Predator comics Dark Horse has coming out.
Rating: BUY IT
Dawn / Vampirella #1 (Dynamite)
Seriously, who is buying this? Mediocre art, terrible story. Why? Just…why?
Rating: LEAVE IT
Rot & Ruin #1 (IDW)
This feels like someone said “hey, people still really like the Walking Dead. Can you do that, but with kids?” Snd here we have it. Ok art, ok story. Zombies. Meh.
Rating: SKIM IT
Stumptown #1 (Oni)
I can’t get enough Stumptown. Smallwood does a great job taking over for art where Southworth left off. Don’t miss this and if you haven’t read the first two volumes, get those.
Rating: BUY IT
Wilds End #1 (Boom)
I love this creative team and I love me some anthropomorphized characters. This feels like Mars Attacks meets Howards End.
Rating: BUY IT
