Sabrina #1 (Archie)
This was great. Dark art works perfect for the mood. You get to know the characters, they are great story hooks.
Rating: BUY IT
Batgirl #35 (DC)
The art was perfect for the tone of this first issue. The writing rides a fine line between stupid, offensive, and just plain bad. What were they thinking?

Alien vs Predator: Fire & Stone #1 (Dark Horse)
I don’t love the art in this a ton but it works well enough for the story. The writing is pretty wild, and there are a lot events in this first issue that make me want to read more.
Rating: SKIM IT
October Faction #1 (IDW)
There isn’t a ton in this first issue that is revolutionary but its well done and there is enough to make me want to read the next. At least skim it and see if it grabs you.

Punks the Comic #1 (Image)
This was insane, bonkers, wild, and fun and out there. Just what I wanted.
Rating: BUY IT
