THE WEEK IN REVIEW
"Fellow B.P.R.D. fanatics, make sure you're keeping up with the current story arc. Both issues have been astonishing so far, and the latest installment was among the very best from this series. Story progression, character development, action, mystery and horror, this book has it all. Mignola and company are on a roll and B.P.R.D. #116 shows that there is no sign of stopping or slowing." - All Comic
"This is an amazingly kickass comic. Howards being insane, empty guns, people trading their lives for information, Panya, the Black Flame " this is where it is at, my friend. I know we're only half way through, but this might be the best issue of February. Hell, maybe even more than that." - Multiversity
"The book is about the passing of innocence and the beginning of a long and difficult manhood. Conan has grown into a man who will forever be haunted by loss. The love of his life died when he was still a young man. He will never get over it, and all of the violence and adventure that is to follow is nothing more than a lost man shouting into the void. Brian Wood has got to the heart of who Conan is, and why he is what he is. What else could any reader possibly want? Life goes on, but loss is everywhere we look. That's it, the end of my review. What else is there to say?" - Geeked Out Nation
"Conan the Barbarian #25 may not be the masterstroke that people expect but it does surpass my expectations. Highly recommended." - Unleash the Fanboy
"Dark Horse Presents is a great anthology. You should pick it up!" - Unleash the Fanboy
"It's hard to go wrong with Dark Horse Presents. Its like an idea factory thats occasionally filled with fleeting greatness and adds a bit of variety to the usual monthly suspects." - Big Comic Page
"My only real complaint is that Skyman is only four issues. I know all the Project Black Sky titles are building a whole new universe, but there is no doubt that Skyman can hold his own with any of the old time heroes. Can't wait for more on this one or the others." - Comic Bastards
"In the end this is how you set a new hero on their path. There will be obvious consequences along the way, but for Reid that makes this that much more exciting. While there is progress in this story, there is more focus on Reid as a person and that balance is what makes this a solid story to jump into from Dark Horse's superhero line. I'd definitely want to see what happens in the next issue when he runs into Captain Midnight knowing that both are soldiers." - Geeked Out Nation
Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Cry of Shadows #3
"Combined with another batch of Guzman's incredible interiors and a great cliffhanger, Cry of Shadows #3 shows no signs this series of letting up. If you love Darth Vader stories—or just great Star Wars stories in general—you should be reading this book." - Adventures in Poor Taste
"Awkward disembodied heads aside, Star Wars: Darth Vader and the Cry of Shadow was an excellent comic. It was enjoyable, sassy, and dramatic without taking itself too seriously. Stuff happened, and I dug it. 8/10. Read it." - Front Towards Gamer
Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi—Force War #4
"Star Wars: Dawn of the Jedi " Force War #4 is an easy comic book to score because from start to finis this is exactly the kind of space bound odyssey I'd want to share with generations to come. Highly recommended." - Unleash the Fanboy
Terminator: Enemy of My Enemy #1
"If you like sci-fi at all, or, honestly, if you just like competently-executed comic books, give this one a shot. Terminator: Enemy of My Enemy #1 from Dark Horse is well worth making a spot for in your comics budget." - Culture Mass
"The Terminator: Enemy of my Enemy #1 is a great start to what should be a stellar mini-series that comes recommended. Until the next outing stay frosty." - Unleash the Fanboy
"“The Strain: The Fall” #8 closes on a shocking cliff-ganger that packs a wallop. I really liked how the relationship between Nora and Zach has been built up. I want to see how that part of the story progresses." - Bloody Disgusting
"The art high lights the intensity of this issue by making the most out of each page art wise. It works very well." - Unleash the Fanboy
""The White Suits" #1 makes a strong showing for Barbiere and Cypress' latest venture. Fans of the mystery/thriller genre particularly will delight in the enigmatic characters and dark, shady artwork." - Comic Book Resources
"Ive managed to read this issue three times now, and with each successive read I gain something new from the story. It is ripe with detail, steeped in tribute and manages to elevate the genres that inspired it. The White Suits will blow you away on every level." - Bloody Disgusting
"The comic is a successor to classics such as Sin City, 100 Bullets, and Criminal. This is a prime example of a slick, cool, entertaining story matching its interior art, much like those mentioned series. A combination that creates a comic that's a visual treat to look at and read. If you're a fan of action, thrillers, or crime/noir stories, this should absolutely be on your buy list." - Graphic Policy
