In This Week’s Best New Comics, If the Space Ghosts Don’t Kill You, the Talking Rabbits Will

As a great agent of vengeance once said (or at least felt, it’s difficult to remember), rabbits are the devil. Sure, they’re cute when they’re hopping about, munching on plant life, and blissfully luxuriating the way prey animals do. But make no mistake—they are dangerous. Also, kind of rude. This week’s best new comics run…

In This Week’s Best New Comics, the NYC Subway Isn’t So Bad and Gender Is an Illusion

Every morning, millions of people across the world crawl from their homes and make agonizing journeys underground through the dark, dank portals we commonly refer to as subway systems.

In This Week’s Best New Comics, Internet Trolls and the Big Two Are the Ultimate Villains

Crowdfunding Campaigns and Anti-AI Bigots Are Killer in This Week’s Best New Comics

There was once a time when we all feared that hyper-intuitive artificial intelligence and robots might one day pose a threat to humanity, but to look at our current technological landscape, it’s seeming much more likely that our collective obsession with our phones and the growing gig economy might be what does us in. The…

Cold Cuts and Merit Badges Are Weapons of War in This Week’s Best New Comics

The Boy Scouts and vending machine sandwiches aren’t really similar, though they are both designed to provide people with the things they need: guidance, information, or, well, nourishment.

Everyone’s Logging Off and Terrified of Technology in This Week’s Best New Comics

If you spend any time on social media, then you’ve undoubtedly at some point found yourself exhausted, annoyed, and wondering if the internet was a mistake.

In This Week’s Best New Comics, Sex and Drugs Are the Only Way to Survive the Work Week

Everyone has different ways of coping with the day-in-day-out toil of working a job, optimistically trudging toward whatever one’s version of a “weekend” is. But for many, to work often means to pour yourself into labor that doesn’t necessarily bring you any sense of joy, freedom, or expression. Even though the heroes in this week’s…

In This Week’s Best New Comics, People and Their Identities Are Mere Commodities

What does a perfect world look like, exactly? Is it a place where everyone agrees to get along because we’ve set aside our differences, or is it a place where the trauma that so often gives birth to those differences never existed at all? There’s an argument to be made that our struggles are what…

The Heroes of This Week’s Best New Comics Are Just Trying to Get Somewhere to Save the World

In the deepest, darkest depths of hell, there is a train station that will take you wherever you want to go. As fabulous as that sounds, it is hell—and so there’s a catch. The train will transport you to wherever, yes, but the platform is packed full of demons. This is an accurate description…

In This Week’s Best Magical New Comics, the Kids Are All Right, but the Adults Are Definitely Not

Even though the culture has bought into the idea that a person’s teenage years are some of the most tumultuous of their lives, sometimes one of the weirdest parts of transitioning into adulthood is realizing that you were actually way more together (relatively speaking) when you were younger. It’s one of the strange facts of…

The Heroes of This Week’s Best New Comics Are Searching for Answers… and Vengeance At Sea

If you, like me, are a sensible person who knows better than to willingly put yourself in obvious danger, then you know to stay far away from large bodies of water, because they are teeming with aquatic horrors just waiting to kill you. This is a fact. For some reason, though, none of the heroes…

The Most Wanted People in This Week’s Best New Comics Are a Weather Guy and a Douchebag Billionaire

One of the most annoying things in the world is when people mistakenly assume that all local television weather people are also trained meteorologists. That is not the case.

Lining Up for Phones and Avenging Your Family Are the Only Things to Do in This Week’s Best New Comics

The single-minded determination of a person hellbent on avenging their murdered family members is strangely similar to the passion displayed by very committed tech enthusiasts who line up for launch day events.

As much as we all like to fancy ourselves as self-sufficient islands, it’s impossible to really get through life while also enjoying yourself if you don’t have people in your corner who want to see you succeed.

The Queen of England Is an Occultist and Blue Collar Workers Own Space in This Week’s Best New Comics

Our perceptions of the ways things are in the real world often make it difficult to buy into the premises of comics set in worlds that, while like ours, are distinctly different.

Hordes of Demons Are Coming to Destroy Elvis and the FBI in This Week’s Best New Comics

In times of great need or extreme stress, pretty much everyone’s survival instinct kicks in and we all default to certain coping mechanisms that have gotten us through our entire lives.

Close your eyes for a moment and try to imagine the apocalypse. What’s it like? Would you survive? Often, when we think about the end times, we envision desolate landscapes devoid of all life, and destabilized communities that are constantly at war for whatever scant resources are left.
