Decorum #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Mike Huddleston Review!

March 24, 2020 by John Galati Leave a Comment

Editor’s Note: Although I remain in a state of X-Men induced delirium inspired by the Jonathan Hickman written House of X / Powers of X era, the writer somehow found time to kick off an 8 issue Image Comics series, Decorum, with artist Mike Huddleston. The oversized opening issue is a fascinating blend of hard science fiction (reminiscent of Powers of X) and space assassins operating in the seedy underbelly of a developing galactic superstructure.
Since Decorum is full of fluid visuals and challenging science fiction, I recommended the book to Comic Book Herald’s writer supreme, John Galati. Naturally, John responded with an annotated array of thoughtful notes, comparisons, and critiques. Check it out below, and then check out Decorum #1 for yourself!

March 9, 2020 by Dave 1 Comment

I’ll tell anyone who will listen that DC’s Dark Nights: Metal is one of my favorite comic book events of all time, and creators Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are back for round two in 2020 with Dark Nights: Death Metal.

On today’s Road to DC Death Metal I’ll investigate:

  • How did we get here and what comics should you understand prior to the event?
  • My theories, predictions, and hopes for Death Metal
  • And whether Death Metal can save DC Comics from its current malaise!
