THE WEEK IN REVIEW

B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth #113

"B.P.R.D. continues to offer something I don't get in other comics; it always feels epic and big and like all of these individual pieces play parts. At the end of the day though, it's the care put into the book." - Comic Bastards

"These issues are so well laid out that they could appear sans dialogue, and you'd know exactly what is going on. His pacing and panel composition are second to none." - Multiversity

Brain Boy #3

"Overall, this series gets better and better. I hope that it keeps up with everything that it is doing. I give it a five out of five." - Unleash the Fanboy

"I suggest you pick up this book. Dark Horse has a winner here, especially if it keeps its current creative team." - Comic Bastards

Buzzkill #3

"Donny Cates, Mark Reznicek, and Geoff Shaw create such a great deconstruction of the superhero genre with “Buzzkill.” Every month takes another step in changing what we know about our protagonist and experiencing the character through a new lens." - Bloody Disgusting

"Buzzkill so far has been excellent and while I can't wait to see what happens next I also don't want it to end. Give it a read and you'll feel the same way. Buzzkill is such a great surprise in comics this year and one well-worth picking up." - Unleash the Fanboy

Conan the Barbarian #22

"This is the making of a man, and the making of a legend, and I'm finding it all to be a heck of a lot of fun. So to fans of Conan old and new, and to those not yet familiar with this ultimate symbol of alpha male supremacy, jump on board now." - Geeked Out Nation

"I'm assuming that because you're reading this review that you know a thing or two about Conan the Barbarian, but in the off-chance that you were just curious, check it out. Brian Wood and Riccardo Burchielli just opened a can of whoop ass on us." - Comic Bastards

Dark Horse Presents #30

"Overall, the writers in this story do an amazing job with their stories. Each one is very exciting, and they are fun. I feel that with an anthology series, you have to be able to have fun and be able to tell a story in a short amount of time. Each other does so and it is fantastic." - Unleash the Fanboy

"New editions to this issue did a great job of shaking off the apathy I was beginning to feel towards the anthology. If you were in the same boat as me last month the give it another shot it's well worth it." - Comic Bastards

Kiss Me, Satan! #3

"There's only two more issues set for release, so Kiss Me, Satan! #3 manages to really push the narrative forward and set the stage for the beginning of what is gearing up to be a bloody and exciting end." - Bloody Disgusting

"Kiss Me, Satan! has been a surprisingly great read from the very beginning. Each issue pushes the plot forward in a meaningful way. This is Ferreyra at the top of his game, something you do not want to miss!" - All Comic

Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi—Force War #1

"Ostrander and Duursema remain the strongest and most consistent team to ever touch the franchise in comics, and "Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi " Force War" #1 is a stellar example of that. The force is indeed strong with this one." - Comic Book Resources

"You definitely dont want to miss out on Force War; after many months of waiting, excitement for this series has been re-ignited like never before." - All Comic

The Strain: The Fall #5

"The Strain is well worth the read and if the television production can utilize the same elements of the graphic novelization (i.e. creepy visuals with lots of dark and brutal surroundings, deep pale faces, ultimate evil depictions, strong characterizations, etc.), then it should be a runaway hit. But don't wait for the show. Get this graphic novelization now. Read it, enjoy it, and see how this will play out. I know I am." - Comic Bastards

"It looks like Ephraim and the rest of his team are on a losing streak in “The Strain: The Fall” #5. I really can't wait to see what happens next issue." - Bloody Disgusting
