Review: Resurrectionists: Near-Death Experienced

Posted on August 17, 2015 by Christopher Scott Author

Resurrectionists TPB Are you near-death experienced? Framed architect-turned-thief Jericho Way has discovered he’s a Resurrectionist, one of a select group of people who can not only remember their past lives, but become them. Two groups are now after his services—the Sojourn corporation, which wants to exploit his powers for mysterious purposes, and a motley crew of modern-day tomb robbers who have been trying to pull the same impossible heist for 3,000 years—and if Jericho joins them, he may steal back his own future

“How can you know who you are, if you don’t know who you’ve been?” Such a simple notion is what’s behind Resurrectionists: Near-Death Experienced, a brilliant, and at times intricate and complex story written by Fred Van Lente. Throw in some Egyptian mythology and brief bursts of time travel too. That odd yet brilliant combination gives this book an action packed story that’s very entertaining.

The artwork by Maurizio Rosenzweig and Moreno Dinisio is contrast of light and dark, bland and colorful. There is a degree of realism and short, vibrant bursts of surrealism. Blending in with the real world, are scenes of Egypt that are used aid to the idea of the Resurrectionists story. That aids the story, and weaves in the artwork in a tapestry of a world.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on November 11, 2014 by Brett

Wednesdays are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in! Below are ten suggestions of comics, graphic novels, or trade paperbacks you should spend some extra time checking out and think about picking up.

Pick of the Week: All New Captain America #1 (Marvel) – It shouldn’t be a surprise this comic is in the top spot. Marvel kicks off a new era for Captain America and Falcon with this brand new series and starting point. It’ll be interesting to see where the series goes, especially since Marvel’s AXIS event is still going on.

Archer & Armstrong: One Percent (Valiant) – If you’ve read Archer and Armstrong’s adventures, there’s no explanation as to why this is on the list. Hilarious political commentary with hilarious action.

Batgirl #36 (DC Comics) – Did you read issue 35? We all loved the new direction for Batgirl, and look forward to seeing what this second issue has in store for us.

Bigger Bang #1 (IDW Publishing) – The series explores the depths of humanity through the warped lens of an ever-expanding multiverse. The first issue is a fascinating read and dissection of this commonly used story trope.

Captain America and the Mighty Avengers #1 (Marvel) – The Mighty Avengers team seemed like a bit of a response to the diversity issue in comics, but the series grew into a fun story that fleshed out a bunch of under utilized characters. With Falcap in charge now, this should get really interesting.

Deep State #1 (BOOM! Studios) – Justin Jordan takes on conspiracy theories. You can read our review here.

Drifter #1 (Image Comics) – Abram Pollux barely survives a crash landing on Ouro, a lawless backwater world where life is cheap. This world’s unique properties set the stage for a story that combines the dark wonder of a strange and alien landscape with the struggles of an abandoned and lawless frontier town.

Kitchen #1 (Vertigo) – New York City, late 1970s. Times Square is a haven for sex and drugs. The city teeters on the verge of bankruptcy, while blackouts can strike at any moment.

The Resurrectionists #1 (Dark Horse) – A new creator owned series that has a cool take on reincarnation. It’s similar to some other series out there, but the first issue is a lot of fun.

Superior Iron Man #1 (Marvel) – A new direction for Tony Stark and Iron Man as he moves out west for a bit of a darker turn.
