Description From Comixology: Bestselling new star writer ALES KOT teams up with white-hot artist MATT
TAYLOR and DEADLY CLASS colorist extraordinaire LEE LOUGHRIDGE for an
all-new ONGOING SERIES! The crime noir thrills and characters
reminiscent of True Detective meet with mythical stakes worthy of Neil
Gaiman's Sandman in this original fantasy/horror/crime saga for mature
readers. Antoine Wolfe, a hard-boiled paranormal detective with a death
wish, has to cope with sudden responsibility for an orphaned teenage
girl who might be the key to the impending apocalypse, California-style.
The road to hell and back begins in a MAX-SIZED FIRST ISSUE, with
fifty-eight pages of story and no ads!
Mini Review: I had high hopes for Wolf. The cover was fantastic and eye-catching and the description sounded excellent, it was hard not to be excited about Wolf. Unfortunately, that excited ended shortly after reading it. Wolf is good, don't get me wrong, but it's not great. My biggest issue was that, after sixty something pages, I still had far too many questions from a book that should have provided at least a few of them. I won't be continuing Wolf, unfortunately, but it's one still worth checking out.

The team behind the New York Times bestselling and Eisner-nominated
smash hit THE WICKED + THE DIVINE return to the acclaimed urban fantasy
where they first made their names. Nearly a decade ago, Emily Aster sold
half her personality for the power to rule a coven of phonomancers. I'm
sure nothing could go horribly, monstrously wrong now. In a world where
Music is Magic, a song can save or ruin your life. In THE IMMATERIAL
GIRL, we discover what a video can do.
Mini Review: I've enjoyed Gillen's work in the past. I adore The Wicked + the Divine, and I loved his work on Young Avengers, but Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl is a lot different. Is it as fantastic as those titles? No. Is it worth your time? Yes. The artwork is excellent, the coloring is wondering, and the storytelling is great. One of Gillen's biggest strengths is his ability to create realistic characters in these extraordinary settings. It's not something that a lot of writers can pull off, and yet, he manages to do it with such ease in each and every one of his projects. I'll definitely be continuing Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl - which is a mini-series - eager to see where the story goes.
THE PILOT SEASON WINNER RETURNS! Modern society is obsessed with outward
beauty. What if there was a way to guarantee you could become more and
more beautiful every day? What if it was a sexually transmitted disease?
In the world of The Beauty, physical perfection is attainable. The vast
majority of the population has taken advantage of it, but Detectives
Foster and Vaughn will soon discover it comes at a terrible price.
Writer/artist JEREMY HAUN (Constantine, Batwoman) and co-writer JASON A.
HURLEY offer up a startling reflection on the cost of looking good in
this procedural science fiction tale.
Mini Review: It's hard to say that the description for The Beauty pulled me in. Honestly, if anything, it made me indifferent to the title. The idea of an STD making people beautiful? It just didn't seem like an interesting premise, and yet, this comic works. The artwork is excellent and the story itself is well-written. It's mysterious, and full of well developed characters. It's hard not to be excited to see where this series goes over time.

I’d looove for you to peruse our 24 blogs;
however, lemme first explain something:
my solemn duty, dear, is to serve and honor you
with fundamental blueprints for Civilization‘s Psychiatrist
(Jesus)…
I’d also love to giveth unto thee ideas
simply because I love the girlish species:
thots you never thot of,
the picturesque protagonist, par excellence,
the non-perishables, the luxurious ditzy-glitz:
the generous, undiluted expansion of d’bizarre;
the epic endoorphins – an open door to an
onomatopoeia Vernacular,
from the high-flying, barnstorming,
toxic firewurKS from yeee-haw KS
taking you in a completely new direction
than where you originally planned!!
O! the mind doth boggle, girly-whirly!!
Why else does a moth fly FROM the night
than to a bold, attractive candle Light??
Don’t let His extravagant Brilliance be extinguished.
You’re creative, yes?
Then, fly-away with U.S. to the antidote…
Whether you obtain morality4mortality to wiseabove
or just glean tantalizing specimens for thy next best seller,
you shall find in our blogs a lotta (subliminal) moxie
which has taken this sinfull mortal yeeeeers to compile:
I lay it ALL out for you, dear, with All-Star-Oxygems:
Wouldn’t ya love an endless eternity
of aplomBombs falling on thy indelible cranium?
An XtraXcitinXpose with no zooillogical-expiration-date?
An IQ much higher than K2?
An extraordinarily, anti-establishment-victory
with both sardonic, satirical wit Who’s savvy
and avant-guarde-humility??
Here’s what the exquisite, prolific GODy sed
(with a most-excellent-detector of bull§ht):
“Faith, hope, and love,
the greatest of these is love –
jump into faith…
and you’ll VitSee with love”
Doesn’t matter if you don’t believe (what I write);
God believes in you.
Meet me Upstairs, girl, where the Son never goes down
from a super-passionate, lucrative iconoclasm where you’ll find
nonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsXnonillionsX…
of deluxe-HTTP [<- pi] opportunities for excitement BTW.
Do it. Do the deed, dude. Sign into the Big-Zaftig-House.
PS “It is impossible that anyone should NOT receive all that they have believed and hoped to obtain; it gives Me great pleasure when they hope great things from Me and I will always give them more than they expect”
