Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom #2
September 12th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
"Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom" is telling a story with a writer who has a lack of imagination, but I think it's inadvertently hitting too close to home.
Star Wars: Blood Ties: Jango and Boba Fett #1
August 27th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
“Boba Fett? Where?!” Right here. Jango Fett, too.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Riley #1
August 19th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Riley" doesn't have much of a story, but the high point is watching Riley and Sam interact.
Star Wars: Legacy #50
August 18th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
The “Legacy” series draws to a close, but is it a “Return of the Jedi” type of close or more along the lines of “The Empire Strikes Back?”
B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth: New World #1
August 11th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
The B.P.R.D. gets a new subtitle and offers up a good jumping-on point for new readers.
Magnus, Robot Fighter #1
August 5th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
“Blip-off-any-interference.” Sage advice delivered so very early in this issue. I just might follow that advice today.
Baltimore: The Plague Ships #1
August 4th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
For those of us who didn't read the "Baltimore" novel, this mini-series starts off a bit slowly and predictably.
Abe Sapien: The Abyssal Plain #2
July 30th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
Abe Sapien versus a Russian zombie! Not quite you’d expect, but very good still.
Predators: Preserve the Game #1
July 15th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
A good sequel to the movie, acting more as a lost fourth act than a sequel.
Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom #1
July 14th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
"Doctor Solar" finds a new home with Dark Horse. There's good and bad to be found here.

"Hellboy: The Storm" begins the conclusion to the Mike Mignola and Duncan Fegredo storyline, and with a bang at that.
Abe Sapien: The Abyssal Plain #1
July 5th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
Peter Snejbjerg and Dave Stewart make for one hell of an art team in this issue, crafting a visually stunning comic.
Predators #1
June 9th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
A prequel to the upcoming movie, this first issue offers the beginning to two stories, each focusing on different elements from the movie.
Buzzard #1
June 9th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
From the pages of "The Goon," here comes Buzzard, a gruff old bird who rides upon a pale horse.
Creepy #3
May 24th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
A mediocre horror anthology with a few high spots, but not many.
Hellboy in Mexico #1
May 5th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
"Hellboy in Mexico" is a little light on story, but it makes up for it in some of the smaller details.
Usagi Yojimbo #128
April 30th, 2010 | By Augie De Blieck Jr.
It's not that this is a bad issue, but it's definitely not a good one for new readers.
Conan the Cimmerian #20
April 28th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
Conan! Killer of kings! Conan! Slayer of men! Conan! Lover of women! Conan! Entertaining comic!
Hellcyon #1
April 16th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
Lucas Marangon creates his own world, and his style is distinctive, but the first issue feels stale.

Time-traveling super-sex from the mind of Brad Meltzer.
The Terminator: 2029 #1

The Guild #1
March 26th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
Felicia Day's sweetly savage sensibilities permeate this excellent first issue.
Daytripper #4
March 15th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
At the age of 41, Brás’s father dies just as his first child is about to be born. And this comic is excellent.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season Eight #33
March 5th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
Once you get past the reveal of Twilight this issue (spoiled months ago in the press), this issue is a mound of exposition.
Conan the Cimmerian #19
March 4th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
Murder, rape, exposition with a lot of strange proper nouns. Yes, it's a Conan comic.
Age of the Reptiles: The Journey #3
March 3rd, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
The dinosaurs continue their trek over the river, through the woods and off to grandmother's house. OK, so maybe grandma wasn't born quite yet, but the river and woods are still in this book.

February 26th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
A stand-alone issue in which Usagi contends with two problematic hosts, each dangerous in their own way.

Aliens Vs. Predator: Three World War #1
January 17th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
After making it to the silver screen, the matchup between the Aliens and the Predators seems lackluster as a comic book concept, but this series looks to add a new dynamic to that rivalry.
Conan: The Weight of the Crown #1
January 14th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett
A disappointing effort that focus too much on laborious narration and not enough on Conan killing people.

January 9th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
"Gigantic" reaches its dramatic conclusion, and it was worth the wait.
The Adventures of Blanche
December 30th, 2009 | By Augie De Blieck Jr.

August 8th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

B.P.R.D.: 1947 #1
July 14th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie

Empowered, Volume 5
July 2nd, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
"Empowered" might be tough to describe, but it's a wonder to behold. This is Adam Warren's finest work.

Two decades after first publishing a Predator comic, Dark Horse unleashes the fury of those uglies again.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Vampires #1
June 7th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight #23
March 12th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" picks up a mostly forgotten plot point from a year ago in a story that seems determined to annoy, and succeeds.
The Umbrella Academy: Dallas #4
March 12th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
The universe of "The Umbrella Academy" is a strange and wonderfully cohesive one. This issue continues the oddness, while entertaining and impressing.

March 11th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie
"The Goon" celebrates its tenth anniversary with a guest sketch book, a look back, and a brand new story from, as always, creator Eric Powell.
