First Issues NOW!

And here I was hoping this would be an only positive week. Sorry. 

SAVAGE WOLVERINE #1, written by Tom Bloom, art by Devmalya Pramanik & Guillermo Sanna, colors by Java Tartaglia and letters by VC’s Joe Sabino.

I feel like if I had been reading any part of the High Republic, I would love this. So I think the real verdict is: read High Republic so this amazing book actually means something to me! 

STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC - THE FINALE #1, written by Cavan Scott, art by Marika Cresta, colors by Jim Campbell and letters by VC’s Ariana Maher.

Is there anything better than a fun little action-adventure book in the Star Wars universe without any universe-altering stakes? No. No there isn't. 

STAR WARS: HYPERSPACE STORIES - TIDES OF TERROR #1, written by George Mann, pencils by Luis Morocho, inks by Le Beau Underwood, colors by Michael Atiyeh, and letters by ComicCraft’s Tyler Smith and Jimmy Betancourt.

I have no idea what I just read, and not in the fun way. 

I, TYRANT #1 written by E.E. Zann, art by Godfarr, and letters by Amir Zann.

Well, the last first issue I covered on Werewolf By Night was for THEN AND NOW OF COMICS so it is a breath of fresh air to see new Jack Russell being very true to form. Plus Count Dracula and even Man-Thing! WOOT!

WEREWOLF BY NIGHT: BLOOD MOON RISE #1 with two stories so firstly we have:
“Nail in the Coffin” written by Michael Giacchino, art by David Messina, colors by Mattia Iacono, letters by VC’s Joe Sabino and  “A Howling Nightmare” with words and art by Jason Loo, with letters by VC’s Joe Sabino too.

Sam wanted in on this so presenting: SAMMI'S PICK! The casual comicist look at our stack of issues, and BAM! She chooses one and talks about it. 

Also check out our slightly more coherent shows: Killing 15 Minutes, Mything 15 Minutes and Blanking 15 Minutes! 

The Sixth Gun was one of my first ever reviews I got paid to write, and now 15 years later, I get to cover the next gripping sequel... continuation... REBIRTH! Pretty cool, folks. Also great comic. 

THE SIXTH GUN: BATTLE FOR THE SIX #1, written by Cullen Bunn, illustrated by Brian Hurtt, colored by Bill Crabtree, and lettered by Crank!

Someone's going to start making a list of all the times I say "oh this is a comic type I'm a sucker for" because boy do I say it a lot but EC Comics and horror anthologies are a love. 


“What’s the Deal with Voodoo” written by John Arcudi, art by Patrick Piazzalunga, and colors by Alessandro Santoro.
“Quintana Roo” written by Marguerite Bennett, art by Dan McDaid, colors by Michelle Madsen.
“Garden Variety” written by Matt Kindt, art by David Lepham, and colors by Nick Filardi. 
Originally published in Shock SuspenStories #2, “Halloween” written by William M. Gaines & Al Feldstein, art by Graham Ingels, with the colors restored by Michael Atiyeh.

I had no idea what to expect but I didn't expect a social media horror complete with eldritch evil and corporate conspiracies... and needing to transition from a fanzine to a podcast. Same, girl. 

LOOK INTO MY EYES #1, words and art by Rubine, colors by Francesco Segala, and lettering by El Torres.
