Johnny the Homicidal Maniac #1

Am I saying that JTHM is trash? Yes. Absolutely. I think it's own creator would agree with that assessment. However, it's trash that occasionally - not always, not even often, but occasionally - has some real wit within it.

Chainsaw Man #19-22

Whatever Makima is, she's either killable with bullets or is doing a very good job at pretending to be.

All Night Laundry (chapters 3-5)

It's an incredibly strong juxtaposition of power and powerlessness.

Action Comics #1

In other words, the OG Superman was, in fact, Spiderman.

New Statesmen: finale

If there was meant to be a lot more New Statesmen that the authors never got to put to page, then...well, I guess that's sad for them, but I also can't bring myself to say that it's any kind of loss to the world.

The Promised Neverland #2-3: "The Way Out" and "A Declaration of War"

I'm honestly not sure if her being human makes her slightly less of a monster, or slightly more of one.

The Promised Neverland #1: "Grace Field House"

All their beliefs, all their security, and the only adult who they ever had - the only parent figure in their frame of reference - all gone in the blink of an eye.

All Night Laundry (chapters 1-2)

And that's just the guy's dirty laundry. The man himself is even more dangerous. And his employer, meanwhile, well.

New Statesmen #7-8

You want to know what disappointed me about #7-8? No fish-murder kid. Where is fish-murder kid?

One Piece, volume 1: “Romance Dawn” (continued)

I really want to know what the hell the mother looked like. Berserk + ??? = ONE.

One Piece, volume 1: "Romance Dawn"

All the pirate energy that was concentrated in Roger's operation has been released to create a global upwelling of piracy.

Usagi Yojimbo: the Dragon Bellow Conspiracy (part 3 of 3)

Here's the thing: Gennosuke has been a better person than Usagi for this entire time.

Usagi Yojimbo: the Dragon Bellow Conspiracy (part 2 of 3)

I wish "Dragon Bellow" concentrated more on this central piece of character development. Much of the rest of it is pretty scattershot, with the story's lack of focus being by far its greatest flaw.

Usagi Yojimbo: “the Dragon Bellow Conspiracy” (part 1 of 3)

As a much bigger story, "Dragon Bellow" is also much longer than any of the previous Usagi Yojimbo titles, clocking in at a full 150 pages. Basically a graphic novel unto itself.
