★★★★1/2 (4.5/5)

QUICK REVIEW: 'You've Been Cancelled' #3 by Curt Pires, Kevin Castaniero, and Jason Wordie has been one of the best comics this year for its creative satirical action-laden adventure that continues to evolve with every issue. What started as a fun and gruesome 'Running Man'-style competition using bounty hunters and social media has grown into a sober conspiracy thriller with pathos and cleverness. It's still full of firepower as far as action goes but the emergence of a hacker, her reasons for revenge, and new details about the corporation behind 'Cancelled' has raised the stakes in exciting ways for the veteran bounty hunter Endo, who has a billion dollar target on his back. Castaniero and Wordie continue to do amazing idiosyncratic art that's inventive and brightly colored. This is going to make a very popular trade to gift people who love comics or want something fun and not from the Big Two publishers. 'You've Been Cancelled' keeps batting a thousand with issue three and should be on your pull list.

Score: ★★★★1/2 (4.5/5) There are certain comic book creators whose books I'll pick up without hesitation. One of those creators is Jeff Lemire. He instills confidence knowing that his stories will be thoughtful and engaging. You add a talented artist like Dustin Nguyen on another collaborative effort and well, 'Little Monsters,' is a must-buy. I know, shocking. They team up again with an intriguing post-apocalyptic vampire tale featuring "the last children on Earth" who've been left to their own devices among the ruin...
