Casanova Frankenstein
Casanova Frankenstein and Glenn Pearce map out the childhood trauma that forges the person we become, allowing us to accept the monster in us.
tradd moore
Tradd Moore’s artwork is strange and fantastic, inspired by pop art as much as it is by comics. He’s telling a story about magic and his art is imbued with a different kind of magic.
Kate Beaton
Kate Beaton is giving us this insight into Kate’s story that she and the people in her life at the time don’t have. And the cruelty is that we’re even less capable of nurturing or protecting Kate than the people and systems that are part of her life.
Neil Gaiman
Young Miracleman wasn’t resurrected because of who or what he was but because one old man with too much power felt alone and rudderless in the world that he has made.
Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman and Mark Buckingham reveal this post-superhero world through the stories and lives of normal but unsettled men and women.
alan moore
Miracleman #0 feels less like a celebration and more like a warning of what can happen to the character once Gaiman and Buckingham are finally done with him once and for all.
Chip Zdarsky
Chip Zdarsky and Jacob Phillips’ Newburn Volume One pulls at the private eye story, operating in the established noir rules but giving us a protagonist that may be an actual bad guy.
Alex Ross
It’s like Alex Ross had a homework assignment— create your own Lee/Kirby Fantastic Four story.
