REVIEW: 'Cobra Commander' #3 by Joshua Williamson, Andrea Milana, and Annalisa Leoni

  COBRA COMMANDER #3 Writer: Joshua Williamson Artist: Andrea Milana, Annalisa Leoni Letterer: Rus Wooton Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: March 20, 2024 Cover Price: $3.99 Cobra Commander isn't the only one looking to harness the alien energy source known as Energon. That means he has to either take control of the new organization he's encountered... or destroy them. Score: 8.5/10 QUICK REVIEW: The fascinating thing about 'Cobra Commander' by Joshua Williamson, Andrea Milana, and Annalisa Leoni is that the titular character is an infamous supervillain so you don't root for him but you can't wait to see what he does next. CC thinks he's doing the right thing by finding and harnessing the power of the Energon for his planet and his people. He's ruthless but a loyal servant to his ruler. He despises humans (and frankly, who can blame him) so when he encounters the rowdy gang of the Dreadnoks he seems more annoyed than frightened even unde...

Sabrina's World Gets Rocked by THE WICKED TRINITY from Sam Maggs and Lisa Sterle

Bad witches Amber, Sapphire, and Jade join forces in THE WICKED TRINITY from Archie Comics in June! There's a whole coven of trouble in store for Archie Comics readers this June! A trio of witches with vengeance and power on their minds hits the halls of Greendale High, Sabrina Spellman's stomping grounds, in THE WICKED TRINITY , an all-new one-shot comic book written by Sam Maggs with art by Lisa Sterle. “Real witches writing real witches — that's how we do things over at Archie Comics!" Maggs said. I was named after a famous witch — Samantha from Bewitched — and so I grew up absolutely obsessed with everything witchcraft, devouring every book series I could about teen witches. That makes WICKED TRINITY a dream project for me." The titular trinity — Amber Nightstone, Jade Kazane, and Sapphire Gill — debuted in Archie's classic-look line of kids' comics over the past year, where they embark on an ongoing plot to usurp the status of various ma...

REVIEW: 'Midstate' #1 by Lee Loughridge and Mack Chater

 MIDSTATE #1 Writer: Lee Loughridge Artist: Mack Chater Colorist: Lee Loughridge Letterer: Rob Tweedie Editor: Will Dennis Publisher: Comixology Originals / Zylonol Studio Cover Price: $2.99 Release Date: March 13th, 2024 Disgraced clairvoyant Paul Rinaldi teams up with the town’s rookie detective in an attempt to get to the bottom of the many missing person cases. Score: ★★★1/2 (3.5/5) QUICK REVIEW: Lee Loughridge is best recognized as one of the comic industry's best colorists but with 'Midstate,' the new Comixology Original comic, the renowned artist is writing a quirky small-town mystery with supernatural elements. The first issue spends a lot of time introducing Paul whose supposed clairvoyance has made him a laughingstock in town. He's a bit of a loser who lives in a loft in the bookstore owned by his mother. When Abi the rookie detective walks in to do research for a missing person case, Paul is enlisted to help. It's not quite a slow burn as it ...

Clover Press Brings Multiple Eisner Award-Winner Craig Yoe’s WOMAN & MAN+ To Kickstarter

 A Surreal, Sexy, and Very Trippy Autobiographical Comic Like No Other Craig Yoe is an author, a publisher, a comics historian, an animator, a graphic and toy designer, and a multiple Eisner Award-winner — and now he’s teaming up with Clover Press for his next project as a cartoonist: the first-ever publication of WOMAN & MAN+ , a wildly surreal autobiographical comic which will be crowdfunded on Kickstarter. The graphic novel depicts the artist losing his love, his home country, and (some say) his sanity—and tells the story of his struggle to reinvent himself. The project is now live on Kickstarter. Craig Yoe’s debut comic Sammy Saved and Al Most , published in the 1970’s, featured a cover colored by Yoe’s pal, Zap Comix’s Rick Griffin. Sammy Saved and Al Most was a spiritually infused contribution to the underground comix movement, one which garnered the young cartoonist some attention. But Yoe’s passion for drawing comics was sidetracked for over half a century ...
