Image credit: Dynamite Entertainment Declan Shalvey’s Terminator series ends with issue #10, when a calculated attack on the Machine goes disastrously wrong. Shalvey’s Terminator comics have been hit and miss throughout this series, with the odd short story that doesn’t make much sense, and a fairly satisfying semi-long story, and they’ve done a great job of returning the T-800 to the ruthless, and more importantly terrifying, killer we first knew. This final issue pulls off similar tricks as the rest of the series. That means it feels like a standalone story until the last beat, at which point it becomes…

Back in 2011, Robert Kirkman and Todd McFarlane teamed up to create a new horror-based superhero. Tough, edgy characters steeped in government covert operations, illegal experiments, and sex-addicted priests. Along with Ryan Ottley and Greg Capullo, they brought Venom to life. If he was white and had ghost powers. I mean, Haunt. However, I think you could also think of Firestorm as removing the physical abilities and adding ectoplasm. But definitely Haunt. Just kidding, the first 18 issues are something else. If you’re a teenage boy, they’re probably right up your alley. I mean, just like the original Spawn, I…

Image credit: IDW Jason Aaron began his run on TMNT by focusing on a different turtle in each of the first four issues. It’s a neat concept, very well executed, and allowed us to take a closer look at each of the siblings and how they think than we usually see. It also sets up conflicts that have continued throughout the series, including not only large-scale threats, but also more personal ones. After rallying them against New York’s “mightiest” opponents in a series of action-packed and thrilling clashes, the pace settles down somewhat and the dramatic stakes rise as the…

raccoon city punksWriter: Dave ScheidtArtist: Sean MackColor Assistant: Aaron PittmanAuthor: Sean MackPublisher: Self-published / $20October 2025 I myself had a great time surviving the horrors that turned Raccoon City into a sea of blood and burning rubble. It was both funny and disgusting, and as familiar as taking your favorite jewelry box off the shelf and popping a disc in it. Even better, Raccoon City Punks was going to places I had never been before. Dave Scheidt and Sean Mack are at the skate park eating Burger Kong and Take the Herb. Fan Comic Warning: As intended, this killed me.…
