Review: DANCER #1
DANCER #1 Written by Nathan Edmondson Art by Nic Klein Release Date: May 23, 2012 Dancer is a fine movie adaptation…er, illustrated screenplay…no, comic book. Dancer is a comic book that reads like it was designed from the beginning to be a movie. I could easily see this book as a mid-budget action-adventure movie. Perhaps…

Review: PROPHET #24
PROPHET #24 Written by Brandon Graham, Farel Dalrymple Art by Farel Dalrymple Release Date: April 18, 2012 This book vexes me. Prophet #24 is one of those books that I just can’t pinpoint if it is brilliant in it’s confusion or just plain confused. Prophet reads like a sci-fi episode of The Twilight Zone in…
