The Walking Dead, Volume 30: New World Order Review
Rick and his jolly band come across a new group: the Commonwealth! And so begins the same old story – can they trust them or is they nutballs? What a boring book! The Commonwealth aren’t that bad a bunch

Hellboy: Krampusnacht Review
This won Best Single Issue at the Eisners this year – what a thin year it’s been for quality comics! Hellboy: Krampusnacht isn’t bad but it’s your standard Hellboy story: Big Red goes someplace spooky

Coyote Doggirl Review
Lisa Hanawalt’s best known for designing the look of the Netflix show Bojack Horseman, which is mostly superb (season four jumped the shark). Her comics though? Bah. No - just terrible! Coyote Doggirl
