REVIEW: Saga #8

Or – “Holiday Week Means I Get The Pick Of The Litter…”

Every week, when new comics ship, I leap forth to choose those that I’d like to review.  Some are easy (nobody ever wants to cover ‘The Amazing Adventures Of Turnip-Man,’ so that one’s always mine) but good luck getting the jump on a review of an issue of Atomic Robo, Invincible or Amazing Spider-Man around these parts.  Though I’m surprised to find Saga unclaimed in this week’s comic haul, I’m not complaining, as every issue of this book so far has been utterly brilliant.  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

REVIEW: The Walking Dead #105

Or – “Don’t Ever Underestimate Kirkman’s Eldritch Powers…”

After issue #100′s shocker, I had expected that Walking Dead might hit a lull, that the tension would slowly start to build again as we neared another conflict.  That hasn’t happened, and after the events of last month, we may be about to lose another familiar face from the regular cast.  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
