THE WEEK IN REVIEW
"Issue #8 of Abe Sapien offers the best of both worlds — a tidy little one-shot for readers just discovering the series, and a bit more Mayan flavor for those who dug the most recent plotlines." - Unleash the Fanboy
"Being a done in one it is the perfect small package, both story and art are good and its all wrapped up in the one issue. While you're not missing anything in the grand scheme of things, it's a fantastic single issue for fans of Mingnola's work and another great jumping on point for newer readers to the series." - Big Comic Page
"If you're not up to date on Brain Boy this is a perfect time to hop in. Even if you're up to date and missed the Dark Horse Present story, pick this one up." - Comic Book Therapy
"Freddie Williams II (Green Arrow, Captain Atom) does a great job of illustrating the story. It fits with the writing and its, also, gives some chances to breathe with artistry because it is an origin. He shows us this with every panel." - Unleash the Fanboy
"I have never before seen a comic take such a positive increase in its second issue ,and it's quite possible we won't see this kind of thing again for a long while, so, yeah, consider Clown Fatale #2" highly recommended." - Front Towards Gamer
"Clown Fatale #2 is an excellent continuation that pushes this devilish concept even further. Recommended." - Unleash the Fanboy
Conan and the People of the Black Circle #3
"If you've never read any Conan before, it's a great snapshot of what his universe is all about without throwing too much at you" - Nerd on the Rocks
"Conan and the People of the Black Circle #3 is, in my mind, an entry that would make Robert E. Howard proud." - Unleash the Fanboy
"A lesson in how to do a good old fashioned horror short properly. It has everything you need. A clever script, a creepy protagonist, fantastic artwork and a splendidly gruesome ending. It has that moment as the story concludes that reminded me the time when I first began reading horror comics." - Geeked Out Nation
"With a fine mix of art and solid, tightly written stories I heartily enjoyed Eerie." - Big Comic Page
"Chris Schlerf does a great job with the story. He introduces us into a world very swiftly and exciting. He lets you know the characters but it doesn't dwell because there is a story that is to be had. He lets you get to know them and you move on with them. I really like this style of writing." - Unleash the Fanboy
"Overall Halo: Escalation #1 is a great transition from the events of Halo 4. They are set on a clear path and Chris Schlerf shows the knowledge and capability to be able to connect this story to the Covenant civil war with the Arbiter and the Brute Ambassador." - Geeked Out Nation
"Darrow's art remains astounding, making this a great issue for any fan of stunning visuals, gore, and the undead." - Newsarama
"This is some uncompromising and fiercely original work by Darrow." - Big Comic Page
"Star Wars #12 is an intriguing exploration of our favorite Princess. Her Royal Highness is in fine form, especially when hes interacting with one Han Solo." - Culture Mass
"I still wholeheartedly endorse this book as both an amazing addition to the Star Wars Universe and a great sci-fi story in its own right. You could change the names of all the pre-existing characters and still have a magnificent story, but the fact that its a familiar, beloved universe actually makes it all the more amazing." - Comic Vine
"The comic introduces a lot about violence and how different people would deal with corruption. So I am excited to see where this next arc takes us." - Comic Bastards
"This is a no nonsense action packed issue but it's nice to see that X isn't solely alone and that there is a reason for hope in such a corrupt city. Will X ever be trusted?" - Unleash the Fanboy
