Meanwhile, Jesus starts preaching to his choir, only to be interrupted by a flood of biblical proportions! Plus the usual AHOY bonus prose stories and illustrations. August 16, 2023 $4.99 Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) The 'Second Coming' series doesn't get much hype, perhaps because its understated brilliance is overshadowed by the premise of Jesus and a superhero rooming together as they navigate the world. It would appear like a joke that the Savior and a savior are paired to simply poke fun at things like religion and superhero tropes. And while there's some of that, the stories are grounded in very human terms. While some critique the lack of high stakes and a more linear plot, each issue of ...

Now, Roland must find out who wants him dead...while trying to survive being hunted down by the world's second-best Canceller! Score: ★★★★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 ...

  THE ENFIELD GANG MASSACRE #1  Writer: Chris Condon Artist: Jacob Phillips, Pip Martin Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: August 9, 2023 Cover Price: $3.99 The THAT TEXAS BLOOD duo returns to Ambrose County, Texas with an all-new MINISERIES set 150 years in the past! Gunslinging action meets dark frontier drama in this original Western thriller, as Montgomery Enfield and his gang of outlaws find themselves in the crosshairs of an aging Texas Ranger and a newborn county that's hungry for law. Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) QUICK REVIEW: I'm a sucker for a good Western and there isn't a lot in comics so when one like 'The Enfield Gang Massacre' #1 by Chris Condon, Jacob Phillips, and Pip Martin comes out, I can't wait to sink my teeth into it. And luckily, the creators did not disappoint. It's so well written that the plot is almost secondary because Condon breathes such authenticity into the characterizations, I could almost listen to the dialogue endles...
