19.Nov.2010 The Outfit by Darwyn Cooke. A Review by Jason Chin.
“The Outfit,” is a brutal, amazingly dark and frank noir graphic novel. Based on the novels by Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake), Darwyn Cooke (probably best known for his incredible “the New Frontier” for DC Comics) has adapted and illustrated into graphic novel form.

26.Apr.2010 Food for Thought – A Review of “Chew”
Chew is really what IMAGE comics should be focusing on; it’s offbeat, both in its writing and art with a wonderful, fun world to explore.

He’s more than just a regular detective with the FDA; he’s a cibopath– whatever he eats he receives a psychic impression from; from a simple hamburger (he flashes on the slaughterhouse death of the cow) to a piece from a corpse (he might see the murder take place).

23.Jan.2010 In Defense of Aquaman – By Jason
Aquaman needs a giant reboot. Let’s make him into the hero that people remember from decades of history. It’s an amazing feat to see what they did with Green Lantern in the past few years and I hope that DC turns theirs sights onto Aquaman and gives us a new title with new and exciting (and excited) creators.
