Story: Brandon Auman

Letterer: Jared K. Fletcher
Purchase: Bookshop – Amazon

It’s the summer of 1992, and five high school students have come together to play Creatures & Corridors, a rare role-playing game that was banned years earlier for being “too Satanic”. As the kids delve into this forbidden fantasy game, they unwittingly unleash a curse that warps all reality around them. Upstairs, orcs storm the living room and kill their parents; while their front yard turns into a moat filled with tentacled horrors; and their basement “game cave” transforms into a literal dungeon, complete with bloodthirsty monsters and terrifying death traps. Now, the kids are forced to play Creatures & Corridors for their very lives, as a devilish Gamemaster judges their every move.

Creatures & Corridors is a familiar story but really solid overall with great presentation

Hunger has some fantastic art but a rather disappointing story

Posted on by

In 1896 Bombay, under British rule, a concentration camp holds IZNA, a plague-infected and famine-stricken being. Mutated through medical experiments, she, along with others, becomes a mutant. British officers invite famine photographer William Wallace Hooper to document the mutants, unaware he’s controlled by a shape-shifting vampire called Pisach. The Pisach infects prey with insatiable hunger, while Hooper bonds with Izna amidst rulers’ games with famine slaves.

Unbeknownst, Izna descends from women embracing monsters. Discovering Hooper’s role in her mother’s death, she wishes to become a monster herself. Transformed into a half-human, half-mutant, half-beast, she embraces her hunger, consuming oppressors and drenching her land in blood. This infinite hunger mirrors trauma’s generational and cultural impact, forging an inseparable link between oppressed and oppressor. The graphic novel blends True Blood, Kill Bill, and Spiral Into Horror, delving into hunger’s exploration of trauma’s pervasive influence.

Super Science Vol. 1 is wacky, weird, and a hell of a lot of fun

Posted on by

Super Science is a sci-fi/comedy about a world where the limits of human imagination have become real. For five days the entire sky over twelve spots across the globe turn amethyst purple. The inexplicable result was in each location, professional engineers and scientists, as well as tinkers, amateur inventors, and high school science teachers were able to create scientific and engineering breakthroughs in ways far surpassing the world’s top scientific institutions. Our story starts three years later in Los Angeles, where a breed of actual superheroes and super villains are emerging.

Dealing with this new phenomenon is LAPD’s new “Mad Scientist Division.” Our two main characters are the no-nonsense Sergeant Esmerelda Villanueva and her idealistic young partner, Officer Jack Mantle. Other main characters are manipulative industrialist Burt Montague, and his bold lab assistant Felicia Bari; perpetually unlucky Karen Katz, a former biology teacher who has turned herself into a human-cat hybrid; Esmerelda’s son Gabe, who might be the smartest teenager on the planet; and finally, nefarious super villain Dr. Cornelius Otherland, and his nemesis, bumbling superhero Gas Giant.

Wonder Woman: Blood and Guts feels like those into mythology will really enjoy it

Posted on by

The superstar team of Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang redefined Wonder Woman during the New 52, and now their game-changing run makes its Compact Comics debut, with this epic story now presented in a portable, casual reader friendly 5.5″ x 8.5″ format!

The Gods walk among us and only one woman would dare try to protect humanity from the wrath of such strange and powerful forces. But is she one of us–or one of them?

When Wonder Woman is willing to take a stand against Hera, Queen of the Gods, she makes herself an enemy. But Hera isn’t the one Wonder Woman should be worried about…her daughter, Strife, is coming to Paradise Island…and she has a secret that will shatter Wonder Woman’s life. Will the Amazons’ most powerful daughter be there to shield them from the wrath of Hera when she arrives?

When Hades and Poseidon need to settle who will be King of the Gods–Wonder Woman can’t let their turf war decimate the realm of man!

And what true story of the Gods is complete without a little trip to hell?
