Rocket Salvage #3
Archaia
Words: Yehudi Mercado
Pictures: Bachan
Rocket Salvage is the Hair Band on the Rockin’ Comics stage. It’s loud and flashy with big, bold colors, and it likes to blow things up. But underneath the visual spectacle, there’s a solid rhythm being laid down with some genuine artistry on lead guitar. (That is if the rhythm was the story and the lead guitar was the actual art, then that’s where that analogy comes full circle… and hopefully makes sense.)
The Woods #10

Words: James Tynion IV

Reading The Woods continues to be like walking through the woods for the first time. There’s the emergence of light from shadow, the sense of familiar and foreboding all at once, and a sense awe and wonder as you see parts of the woods for the first time. Walking through the woods can make you feel like there really is magic in the world; reading The Woods can give you that same feeling.
Veil #5
Dark Horse

This is not unlike a teenage coming of age story, but in this case, the teenager is a demon, so I guess it’s a bit different.
