Read MoreBy T.W. WORN — It is a crisp Autumn night in 2018, and turbulent psychedelic rays of light bounce above the sweating crowd of a busy bar on a busy night. The thumping bass of the speakers leaks onto the ground, the patrons bobbing in the rhythm as they wade through fellow patrons to the bar. I am sitting, in a suit, next to my friends. The sound of laughter slinks through my ears, echoes in my head, and pours out my mouth along with the rest of the group. The music in the bar shifts in tone, no longer a grooving anthem of eternal adolescence. It is slow and sinister. The cold frequency of a pipe organ. I look over to the DJ, confused. They say something about how he has finally arrived for us, and laughs. I tilt my head in confusion.
Read MoreBy Keigen Rea — I mean it in the best way, but Dead Day 3 was not a comic I was prepared to enjoy as much as I do. For some reason, what I expected was something generic and tried, but instead I got a fun blend of concepts, good storytelling, and a great cliffhanger even while delivering a story that’s easy to pick up and follow.
Read MoreBy Gabe Gonzalez — In the world of comics, the use of both time travel and espionage are very popular within the medium. However, the mixture of both in a single book is few and far between, which makes Artemis and The Assassin a standout on the shelves of comic shops.

Our story continues to follow Abdul Alhazred and his team's encounters with ISIS's mythological threats. At its best, it takes inspiration from similar monster hunting works such as Supernatural, Grimm, and Challengers of the Unknown; at its worst, it comes off as another generic action/horror tinged comic.
Read MoreBy Keigen Rea — Join the Future’s second issue is about a teenage girl losing nearly everything she knows and loves, and then deciding to fight for what she has left. It’s about a powerful society throwing its weight around to gain as much control as possible. It’s about the promise of civilization and the costs.
Read MoreBy Zack Quaintance — Kill a Man is an original graphic novel coming this year from AfterShock Comics, which has done a really underrated job of releasing complete comics stories like this one since its launch a few years back. Indeed, AfterShock has perhaps been at its best when releasing graphic novels and novellas, be it the excellent Garth Ennis/Keith Burns air warfare story Out of the Blue or the very scary and personal The Replacer by Zac Thompson and Arjuna Susini. They don’t seem to get much credit for it, but AfterShock has done a great job with these contained books.
