Posted on January 26, 2018 by Phil

Instead of starting with the brand-new #1 issues, let’s do the reverse: we’ll lead with the highest-numbered books, the ones that have produced the most stories and survived the longest: Lumberjanes #46 — Writers: Shannon Watters and Kat Leyh;  Art: Ayme Sotuyo;  Colors: Maarta Laiho Dept.H #22 — Writer/Artist: Matt Kindt;  Colors: Sharlene Kindt Sex Criminals #21 — Writer: Matt Fraction;  Art/Colors: Chip Zdarsky Southern Bastards #19 — Writer: Jason Aaron; Art/Colors: Jason Latour Monstress #13 — Writer: Marjorie … Continue reading →
