REVIEW: Chew #28
In the last few issues Tony has taken a back seat will other characters get to bask in the sunlight. Will this trend keep up? Will Tony ever get out of the hospital?

REVIEW: Mars Attacks #3
Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the Mars Attacks! franchise has returned in spectacular fashion in the form of a new trading card set, t-shirts, statues, and this comic series from IDW. While the Tim Burton movie of the same name had its merits, you won’t find Burton’s sense of humor here…No bowling on Easter Island, no knocking national landmarks onto Boy Scouts, and not a single syllable of Slim Whitman. Rather, Layman’s series focuses on the gore, spectacle, and flat-out weird events that the original card series was so controversial for. Check out the review for more!
