REVIEW: The Rocketeer – Hollywood Horror #1 (of 4)

Or – “The Strange Experience Of A New Artist…”

There are a few characters in my mind who can’t really be captured by anyone other than their creators.  The Creeper never looks right drawn by anyone but Steve Ditko, only Neal Adams can capture the awesomeness of Megalith, and Darkseid never quite has the same gravitas from anyone other than Kirby.  So it is with the Rocketeer, with the added problem of the creator passing away with only a few iconic stories completed.  Can anyone make the adventures of Cliff Secord and company look as good as Stevens?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

REVIEW: Saga #10

Saga is the tale of Alana and Marko, two lovers from warring worlds—Landfall and its moon, Wreath. They are joined by their baby, Hazel, who narrates their journeys through a war torn galaxy. It is a Romeo and Juliet space opera, filled with unique characters and fascinating scenery. The series blends elements of science fiction and fantasy, with a hint of politics and humanism.
