Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Logan

Fixation #1 (IDW Publishing) – Amy Chase and Savannah Mayer‘s Fixation is a chilling first chapter of metamodern horror where fandom goes very very wrong. The story centers around two super fans who are invited to the 10th anniversary of Blood Mountain, a book turned film series that seems very similar to the Twilight series with Vail standing in for Forks, Washington. The issue begins with a chilling murder and then introduces the cast of fans, actors, production assistants, and mysterious posters setting the scene for a fiction/reality blurring story. Chase and Mayer don’t just point and laugh at how “cringy” fandom is, but actually give the main characters time to show how Blood Mountain had an impact on their lives. They might take things too far, but they’re a lovable duo and I’m rooting for them. Some of the actors, not so much though. Overall: 7.7 Verdict: Buy

Inglorious X-Force #9 (Marvel) – In the penultimate issue of Inglorious X-Force, Tim Seeley, Michael Santa Maria, and Romulo Fajardo go for maximum action and soapiness with just a dash of humor. Domino has a hunch that Cable will assassinate future President Kamala Khan so she forms her own X-Force team to take it out. Seeley and Santa Maria have a lot of fun with the team dynamic although the main cast is more developed and likable. I do want to go back and read the based, hilarious pooch Pug-Smasher’s early appearances. If you like 90s comics with a smidgen more psychological depth and smoother storytelling techniques, then Inglorious X-Force continues to be a solid pickup especially as it builds to a full circle conclusion. Overall: 8.1 Verdict: Buy

Tank Girl: Blue Helmet #1 (Titan) – Alan Martin and Jamie Hewlett take the piss out of the Beats in the full color, Tank Girl: Blue Helmet. Basically, Tank Girl, Booga, and Barney go (literally) on the road with thinly veiled Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, who end up being repulsed by all the sex, violence, farts, and other shenanigans. This strip is pure anarchy with Martin churning clever, yet sometimes long-winded zingers to match Hewlett’s wild and crazy pictures. My personal favorite bit is when it turns into a Hanna Barbera parody, which kind of, sort of foreshadows Jamie Hewlett’s co-creation of the Gorillaz. Anyways, the moral of the story is that college boys who read books just to get laid are pretty lame. Overall: 8.9 Verdict: Buy

Of the Earth #5 (Image Comics) – Of the Earth #5 is all blood, guts, and black oil from Andrew Ehrich, Chris Condon, and Charlie Adlard. The wildcatter is at his peak powers, and Tabby must find a way to extricate herself from the situation. Red and black are the colors of the day, and there’s lots of tight corners and suspense. Ehrich, Condon, and Adlard nicely bridge the gap between physical and psychological terror as the issue is really one big third act horror film set piece. This would have made a worthy series finale, but luckily there’s more! Overall: 8.7 Verdict: Buy

Vampire Survivors #1 has potential but an overall boring start

Vampire Survivors #1

The things that go bump in the night fear only one thing, survivors. They grow in strength and conviction and now use their expertise to vanquish those very creatures with whips, magic, knives, and garlic?!

When the Belpaese siblings are tasked with clearing out monsters, Imelda Belpaese stumbles upon The Trickster. An ancient evil so horrific it leaves only destruction in its wake, and now it looks to destroy one thing, Imelda’s mind. The Trickster follows Imelda, wreaking havoc all around her but is invisible to everyone else. And with the rivalrous Ladonna family applying pressure and the Belpaese siblings’ constant quarrels, the Trickster may just be able to destroy everything precious to Imelda.

Vampire Survivors #1 brings the video game to the comic page for a debut that has some interesting aspects but overall doesn’t deliver much new or exciting. I’ve never played the video game and know nothing about it, but I wanted to see what the comic was about and see what it might do that could be new or different. Beyond the relationship between characters, this is any off the rails fantasy adventure. It’s DnD focused on the action and not much of the story.

Written by David Hazan, the comic follows three monster hunter siblings who are focused on getting rid of vampires. One seems to be stalked by some evil only she can see but most of the issue is the trio, as well as another pair of monster hunters, battling strange forces while yelling at each other. Vampire Survivors #1 stumbles as it gives readers little to connect to. It’s an off the rails adventure without character we can cheer for or care about. The end result is a debut issue whose draw is the action and not the story… like so many video games.

The art by Jimmy Kucaj with color by Jão Canola is good. There’s a certain energy about it and it has a style that feels like other recent comic adaptations, it’s bright and very exaggerated. But it also feels like it plays things rather safe. Like the story itself, it doesn’t embrace its video game routes and the visuals are rather a run of the mill fantasy adventure with little unique personality to stand out.

Vampire Survivors #1 isn’t a bad debut but it also isn’t exciting. It doesn’t give us anything particular new or interesting. It’s best quality is the bickering between its characters as siblings. But, that too feels rather generic after a while. This is one for the diehards of the property, there’s fare too many similar stories that are far better to check out.

Story: David Hazan Art: Jimmy Kucaj Color: Jão Canola
Story: 6.5 Art: 7.0 Overall: 6.5 Recommendation: Pass
