Wayward #12
Written by Jim Zub
Illustrated by Steven Cummings
Colours by Tamra Bonvillain
Colours assisted by Marissa Louise
Lettered by Marshall Dillon
Back Material by Zack Davisson
Published by Image Comics
The battle between the yokai and the new supernatural group of Emi, Nikaido, Shirai, Ayane and Rori is just heating up. The young group is still reeling from the battle that took place in the last volume of Wayward and starts to go in a very big direction by the end of this issue. From the looks of it, the conflict between the yokai and the newer generation of supernatural individuals has only just begun and is about to blow into an all out war.
The really great thing about what the creative team of Wayward continues to do is the level of respect and detail that is taken into account when setting a title like this in Japan.

The Comic-Con trailer for David Ayer's Suicide Squad movie has now been released - and we've been dissecting it...
Well, they actually did it. David Ayer and friends are actually going to deliver us a Suicide Squad movie in August of 2016. I never thought I'd live to see the day.
Well, really, 'live to see the day' isn't a phrase you associate with a team known as the 'Suicide Squad'. This trailer landed at San Diego Comic-Con 2015 over the weekend, and wasn't really intended to be seen by the general public for a while, but Warner Bros relented and gave the fans what they wanted.
We went on a hunt for any piece of DC Comics lore that might help us make sense of the Suicide Squad movie trailer. Watch it again if you wish, and then we'll get down to business:
Here's how this is going to work.

Wayward #5
Writer – Jim Zub
Art – Steve Cummings
Colours – Tamra Bonvillain
Letters – Marshall Dillon
Publisher – Image Comics
Wayward is a comic that covers a wide spectrum of emotions. There are moments of extreme highs and moments of bottomless lows. The main character, Rori, experiences all of these moments, struggling to cope with her newfound situation. Rori has recently moved from her native Ireland to Japan to live with her mother. She enters an unknown land to be with someone that hasn’t really been a major part of her life. Though Rori is half Japanese and can speak the language, she is an outsider. She can communicate on the most basic level but struggles to find a further connection to her new surroundings to feel not as alone as she does. However, from the first issue of Wayward, ending the first arc with the most recent release of issue #5, Rori finally realizes,...

Last August here in Saint Louis is a very distinctive time of year. We’re right on the cusp of September and as the rest of the continent starts to cool down, the summer doldrums morph into powerful storms and heavy rain. This happens in spring as well but that season is no fun because tornadoes show up and everyone has to flee for the nearest basement. No, the last week of August is much stranger; the temperatures are still high but as muggy days dissolve into balmy nights, the sky cracks open and oceans spill forth. I sound poetic about this because these changes herald the absolute most wonderful time of year, as many of our residents will testify; early autumn. September is a wonderful month for me, as it’s my birthday, and that is followed up by October, both the best month of the year, containing the best day of the year.

Story by Jim Zub

Cover by Chris Stevens
Variant cover by Steven Cummings and Espen Grundetjern
Image Comics
Price: $2.99
Street Date: May 25, 2011
How could you not love a comic book with a name like Skullkickers? It does bring up images of thick, steel-toed boots bashing in brains, splattering them onto the pavement, doesn’t it?
Well, if that’s what you’re expecting, it’s not what you’re going to get.
Skullkickers is a fantasy series, obviously heavily influenced visually and creatively by World of Warcraft and the Final Fantasy video game series. The story revolves around a pair of monster hunters: an alcoholic dwarf with an axe and a stoic bald warrior with a revolver. In the first six issues, the good Skullkickers are forced to travel from the village of Mudwich to do battle with necromancers,...
