X-O Manowar #4

"The best issue of X-O Manowar yet (and that's saying a great deal since every issue has been outstanding) is upon us. Master scribe Robert Venditti ups the ante by bringing Aric fully into contemporary times while revealing more about the inner workings of The Vine's religious vs military power struggle, as well as their designs on the Earth. Some great action coupled with some intriguing new developments and insight into Venditti's long term plans for not only X-O Manowar, but perhaps the Valiant Universe itself make X-O Manowar #4 the issue that Valiant fans simply can't miss."

FAME: Katy Perry

"Bluewater Productions' FAME: Katy Perry does a great job of covering all the major highlights of Katy's rise to fame. Die hard Katy fans might not find anything new here, but this alt-rock fan did learn something. I didn't know much about Katy beyond the fact that I actually like her song "Hot and Cold" even though it's not anything like the music I listen to, and that her ex, Russell Brand, is an idiot... All in all, FAME: Katy Perry was quite informative."

Becky Cloonan's The Mire

"Sharp, short, and beautiful, The Mire is another excellent example of why Cloonan is one of the best sequential artists in the business. Her work here, which brings to life a medieval setting that appears Celtic or Norse in nature and culture, is absolutely beautiful. Her recreation of the medieval encampment the day before a violent battle, not unlike one that I imagine would display all the barbarity of one of the battles as shown in the film Braveheart, is flawless and astounding in its detail. Each of the character's dress and the surrounding environment which Aiden moves through, which includes the haunted swamp and the decrepit castle, are also gloriously detailed and beautiful. The ghostly happenings that highlight the story are also sublimely frightening and glorious in their presentation and detail."
