Comic Station Issue #33 – Aug 14th 2013

We at Comic Station try to highlight new releases and other series many might otherwise overlook. We typically don’t report on long-standing series unless revolutionary. We add a little something extra in our Reviews and Recommendation section.

New Releases: The big event this week on Comic Station and comic news is Marvel’s Infinity #1 (Part 1 of 6). We also follow up on Watson and Holmes #2 from New Paradigm Studios to see how the series is progressing. It Came! : Something is coming round for afternoon tea… and it isn’t the Vicar! from Titan Comics has to be the longest title ever on Comic Station. Finally, Dark Horse Comics continues the story of the UNSC, but this time centers around Sarah Palmer and the Spartan IV program in Halo: Initiation #1.

Review: Lots of comics have been reviewed this week on Comic Station. From last weeks New Releases we have: First we have Hunger #2 from Marvel progressing another big event in the Ultimates Universe.Superior Carnage #2, also from Marvel, should really be “Ultimate Wizard”. From Dark Horse Comics we have Skin Trade #2. New this week, the have three more titles, all from Dark Horse: Killjoys #3 is a post-apocalyptic bright spot compared to Resident Alien: Suicide Blonde #0. Blood Brothers #2 feels disjointed but a marked improvement over the first issue.

Comic Station Issue #29 – July 17th 2013

We at Comic Station try to highlight new releases and other series many might otherwise overlook. We typically don’t report on long-standing series unless revolutionary. We add a little something extra in our Reviews and Recommendation section.

New Releases: Since we reviewed Blood Brothers #1 from Dark Horse Comics in last weeks’ Comic Station, we just briefly mention it today. Batman ’66 from DC Comics tries to recapture the old Adam West Batman style, while Red Sonja #1 from Dynamite moves this classic character forward. Boom Comics mixes the vampire craze with mafia to create Day Men #1.

Review: There were five Comic Station reviews this week, so we try to shotgun through them in reasonable time. First,Skin Trade #1 from Image Comics. Second, Oz #1 from Zenescope followed by Dawn: The Swordsman Daughter and Other Tales in third. Rounding out the reviews in fourth and fifth place for this Comic Station issue were The Unforgivable #1 Experiment 11:34 from Brainmachine Comix and Kafka HC from Image respectively.

Extra: Since Scott couldn’t join us for this issue of Comic Station, Paul and Lido remind everyone that Sandiego Comic Con is this week and briefly go over what they’re looking forward to from SDCC.

Comic Station Issue #28 – July 10th 2013

We at Comic Station try to highlight new releases and other series many might otherwise overlook. We typically don’t report on long-standing series unless revolutionary. We add a little something extra in our Reviews and Recommendation section.

New Releases: The quirky title, Quantum and Woody #1 from Valiant Comics kicks of Issue #28 of Comic Station. Black Mask publishes an acid trip of title in Ballistic #1. Two Image Comics titles, Sheltered #1 and Ghosted #1 finish up our full preview section. In a rare move, we continue the new releases Comic Station section with a number of other titles we just couldn't get to.

Review: We’re a week early for this Comic Station review, with Dark Horse Comics title Blood Brothers #1 coming out next Wednesday. A brothers-butting-heads humor that manages to set the stage for larger things.

Recommendation: Scott recommends one of his favorites, The Indestructible Hulk series.

Comic Station Issue #13 - March 27th 2013

This issue of Comic Station brings a lot of great New Releases, with one outshining the rest as our hands-down must-buy recommendation.

New Releases: The biggest KNOWN issue coming out today on Comic Station is Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy #1. We reviewed Guardians of the Galaxy #0.1 on Comic Station Issue #10, and are glad to report this first true book continues the good work setup in the precursor. A favorite of ours, Injustice: Gods Among Us #3 proves yet again that this series is probably one of the best Superhero books currently available – right up against the big names. Vertigo released an anthology, with nine mini-issues called Timewarp that features some great art and big names like Gail Simone. The real surprise came in the form of Image Comic’s new series, East of West #1. We at Comic Station can’t say enough good things about this book. If you haven’t read this, go get it now before your store sells out – and they will.

Review: Continuing our love of the merging video games and comics genres we take a look at Dragon Age: Until We Sleep #1 on this issue of Comic Station. Until We Sleep takes place after the events of Dragon Age II and features the return of Allistar. Chaz King, the author of our review, wrote

“If you are interested in the characters or the fiction of the Dragon Age universe, you should give a thought to picking up Dragon Age: Until We Sleep, if only to keep an eye on Varric.”

Recommendation: We at Comic Station loved East of West so much that Scott wanted to go into a more detail of why we recommend it hands-down as a must-buy.

Comic Station Issue #1 – January 2nd 2013

For our first Issue of Comic Station we get right into things by setting up the segments: New Releases, Review and Recommendations.

New Releases: We chose three key additions to highlight from the line-up and even give our impressions and insight into a few series.  While not new, there’s also news that Hellboy in Hell #1 sold out, but don’t fret, there will be a reprint at the end of the month for those who missed it. As a preview for next week, we also mention a little bit about Brian Wood, the author of the new Star Wars #1 coming out next week.

Review: Our first review is one many readers might have missed – Alabaster Wolves by Dark Horse Comics. A young woman is tasked with hunting down monsters by her gaurdian angel, but we come into her life at a time when this routine has grown thin. This short five-issue run features some beautiful artwork by Steve Lieber and relate-able characters by Caitlin R. Kiernan. A full review will be coming to the website soon.

Recommendation: Our resident expert and owner of The Comic Station store, Scott Kaitz, kicks off strong with high praise for Batman: Death of the Family. See what he has to say about this New 52 series.

Please leave comments or suggestions as I look to continue improving this new series.
