At the Beginning: Farmhand #1
We LOVED Chew here and I’ve been waiting and waiting for Rob or John to announce a new project. Well, Rob’s Farmhand is out so I decided to take a look at that first issue. Here are the images used in the video:

Bitch Planet is the comic we need Right Now
Starting in college and continuing in the following decades I’ve slowly been learning that women have a completely different experience of the world. I thought I understood the struggle women had compared to men; at the highest level, being expected to be successful as both
Take a Big Bite: A look the entire Chew series
When Dan introduced me to Chew it was the odd premise that convinced me to give it a shot. The entertaining introductions to the powers and the prologues that have the reader wondering how it’s going to tie into the issue’s content intrigued me. (As
Exploring Gender Norms from Ancient Greece to Today with ODY-C
I am a huge fan of Matt Fraction. His run on Hawkeye is one of the best Marvel comic runs of the decade; Sex Criminals is so innovative, emotional, and honest; The Defenders was a trippy run; Satellite Sam great for early television nerds. So

We don’t often consider single issues here at Comic POW! We prefer to look at story arcs and completed series to get a better feel for what the author and artist were trying to accomplish. However, I thought it would be interesting to take a

Image Comics Creators Own Worlds Humble Bundle Live Today!
Long time readers of Comic POW! know that I am a fervent advocate of DRM-free comics (and this news story). If you’ve seen the site evolve you’ve also seen my tastes evolve. While Marvel and DC continue to tell great stories and explore new characters
What if Heroes had a Union? : C.O.W.L Vol 1 and 2
Two things attracted me to C.O.W.L.: the subject matter and the author. I knew Kyle Higgins from Nightwing Vol 3 (AKA New 52 Nightwing) where I enjoyed his writing. C.O.W.L. takes place in Chicago in 1962 when unions are still strong and the Chicago Organized
Wytches: Parenting Fears Made Manifest
I read Wytches back in September before Baltimore Comic-Con because I wanted to be able to talk to Scott Snyder about how it was a personal meditation on what it means to be a parent. Snyder being as popular as he is, I was unable
Alex + Ada
I was sure I knew how this was going to go. I’ve seen plenty of anime with this same plot. Usually the guy gets an android because either he’s too shy around girls or because he’s a loser (at least by cultural standards). However, instead
