Comic Review: Superior Spider-Man #3

Comic Review: Colder #3
It has been a wild ride in the pages of Colder, the limited series from Dark Horse Comics. In the third issue, the crazy train is still chugging along.

Comic Review: Alabaster: Wolves
There is something inherently mythic about the American South, something impossible to put a finger on that makes the monsters of myth seem more possible. Acclaimed fantasy author Caitlin R. Kiernan has teamed with artist Steve Lieber to bring one of her characters, Dancy Flammarion, to the comic-book format with Alabaster: Wolves, a five issue limited series from Dark Horse Comics initially published between April and August of 2012. Dancy is a teenaged albino, and she has made it her mission in life to eradicate all monsters, but what she encounters in a small South Carolina town will cause her to question whether or not everything she believes in is a lie, and it also might cost Dancy her life.

After months of shortlists and speculation, one Chris Pratt has gotten the starring role as Star-Lord, the half-human/half-alien member of the team.

Comic Review: The Strain #1
In recent years, vampires have been “prettied up” by Hollywood and young-adult novels, and while that may be all well and good, vampires are traditionally something much darker, and much weirder. Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy) and Chuck Hogan (Prince of Thieves) understand this. Their novel The Strain, the first of a trilogy, brings vampirism to New York City and sees a group of people struggling to keep the contagion from spreading. Del Toro and Hogan have teamed with Dark Horse to bring their work to the comic-book format with The Strain, written by David Lapham and drawn by Mike Huddleston.

Comic Review: Star Wars #2
The first issue of Brian Wood and Carlos D'Anda's Star Wars was a hit. It quickly sold out multiple print runs, and the second issue of the series picks up just where the first issue left off, with Leia assembling her team, Luke honing his piloting abilities, Han and Chewbacca off on a secret mission, and Vader’s Star-Destroyer in the hands of a new enemy. Star Wars is published by Dark Horse Comics, and is set in the time period between the first and second (or the fourth and fifth, depending on whether you are or are not George Lucas) films.
