Moth City truly takes advantage of the digital medium, in the way that Mark Waid has been talking about with Thrillbent for the past year.
Most notable about this book is the stunning art, and page transitions, using layers as a storytelling device.
An American becomes a Chinese crime lord in terrible dealings with the military for canisters of chemical weapons.
Amazing art for fans of Paul Pope’s work. Highly recommended.

I naturally gravitated to this vampire book on title alone, and was delighted to find a fully realized alternate fictional history where both King Vlad Dracula and King Victor Frankenstein were rulers of their own countries.
This was a fun read, for fans of classic horror.
I quite enjoyed the twist on it, and the war between the two countries.
The art was ‘sourced’ by students at The Academy of Art University. Great work from all of the students and a compelling story.

Kubert School Graduate Blair Shedd (Doctor Who) unleashes a superhero and cop story with The Raptor.
His cool looking and wise cracking hero looks a bit like Shadowhawk. The story is pretty standard street level superhero fare but that’s not a knock on the book. Great action and cool art makes for a solid superhero read.
No origin story yet for The Raptor, as they are focusing on the murder investigation.
A solid offering, even if the art does outshine the story a bit.
