Samurai Jack #1 (of 5)

Every few years a kids cartoon comes along that really pushes what you can do with that specific corner of animation. Batman: The Animated Series, Beast Wars, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Samurai Jack was one of those shows. Critically acclaimed, with the awards and viewing figures to back it up, it’s a wonder that we’ve had to wait this long for a Jack comicbook. Now that we DO have one, does it actually live up to the legacy of the animated series?

The Other Dead #2 (of 5)

After reading the first issue of the Other Dead, I wasn’t really sure what to think about it at all. On one hand, it was a fairly original take on zombie lore and where it’s normally totally ignored, OD focuses solely on the question of what would happen if animals caught the zombie virus. However, it also felt a bit on the gimmicky side, from stereotypical metal band performing black magic, to the over-the-top deaths and inclusion of the long-legged-Mac-Daddy himself, the President of the US of A.

Zombie War #1 (of 2)

Originally published back in 1992, IDW horror series Zombie War finds itself in full colour for the very first time, courtesy of long-standing TMNT colourist Ronda Pattison.  The series is the brainchild of Tom Skullan and Turtle co-creator Kevin Eastman, and sees aliens resurrect fallen soldiers in zombie form.  But rather than your usual shambling, aimless brutes, these zombies are (comparatively) intelligent, motivated, and – most importantly –armed to the teeth!

Star Trek #26

Part 2 of ‘The Khitomer Conflict’ continues right where the last issue left off, but while the writing is still strong, unfortunately ‘Star Trek’ is again let down by its looks.

The pacing of Star Trek #26 feels less rushed than the first part of this arc. It’s a comfortable read this time whilst still managing to fit plenty of great story and even greater dialogue into a single issue, and it helps that Mike Johnson has these characters nailed.
