Dark Horse And Dynamite Proudly Announce Captain Action Cat: The Timestream Catastrophe #1, Debuting In April 2014

THE WEEK IN REVIEW

Captain Midnight #7

"Captain Midnight starts to let us in on the secrets this month. Some of the big questions are answered but even bigger ones are raised. As we start a new section of the Captain's adventures, it looks like we're in for some thrills." - Comic Book Therapy

"If you are interested in following this new world that Dark Horse is creating, Captain Midnight should definitely be the first on your list. The most established superhero so far and one that shows that being a hero is more than just having powers. There are many layers to this story and the element of time makes it one you want to invest your time in to see how everything connects, changing your perspective of everything going on right now in this continuity." - Geeked Out Nation

Conan the Barbarian #24

"Conan the Barbarian #24 is the second to last of this volume, and we can all rest assured that things are ending on a decisively strong note. Highly recommended." - Unleash the Fanboy

"The action is disgustingly intense and captured perfectly by the art and colouring of Riccardo Burchielli and Dave Stewart. The script by Brian Wood is action intensive and frantic, yet when the calm after the storm comes there is great sadness and poetry there." - Geeked Out Nation

Dark Horse Presents #32

"Dark Horse Presents #32 is a great anthology. You should pick it up!" - Unleash the Fanboy

"Its hard to go wrong with Dark Horse Presents. Its like an idea factory thats occasionally filled with fleeting greatness and adds a bit of variety to the usual monthly suspects." - Big Comic Page

Elfquest: The Final Quest #1

"Elfquest: The Final Quest" #1 is a good start to this new bi-monthly series. Old fans will find a lot to enjoy here, and newer readers should hopefully not be too lost." - Comic Book Resources

"If youre looking for some engaging fantasy, dont miss Elfquest: The Final Quest! Its something special and will pull you in from the first time you read it!" - Major Spoilers

Mass Effect: Foundation #7

"If you have played the games, these comic books are essential reading. Walters knows these characters and worlds because he helped create them, and that shines through in his writing." - Rymes With Geek

"The writing for this issue is very good. You see the dynamics of the character that before we didn't understand but the writing allows us to delve deeper into this character. It is fantastic and it works." - Unleash the Fanboy

Mind Mgmt #18

"Writer and artist Matt Kindt has said that he only plans to create thirty six issues of this series in total and this one and done issue is as good a place as any for new readers to jump on. Go on, give it a try. Open your mind." - Big Comic Page

"Kindt's subversive approach to story in his most famed independent book continues to be exceptional in this, the official halfway point in the series (its 36th issue is reported to be its last), and shows how what would otherwise be classified as "filler" material can be re-conceived as something integral to the story." - Comic Bastards

Star Wars: Legacy #11

"After a brief up and down story arc, we're back, baby! This issue brings all sorts of entertainment value, not least of which is the smooch on the cover. More please!" - Adventures in Poor Taste

"Star Wars: Legacy #11 may well represent the last title to delve into this corner of the timeline, and if this is any indication than this year, 2014, is going to see it go out with swagger and style. Highly recommended." - Unleash the Fanboy

The Massive #19

"Wood's post-crash world is still just as big as it was before, and he continues to find intriguing ways to explore it, while building up enough history and characters within the context of the series to keep it exciting. "The Massive" #19 takes full advantage of that history, and because of that remains as interesting as it did when it began." - Comic Book Resources

"Issue #19 has recaptured my attention and I can't wait to see where the story leads. Strong story and strong character make The Massive one of Dark Horse's most underrated titles which comic book fans should jump on immediately." - Unleash the Fanboy
