We read a lot of comics and graphic novels this year. Whether we’re talking about on-going comic series, standalone graphic novels, or short mini-series, we definitely walked away with some new favorites this year. Our comics staff got together to talk about what our favorites were and we came up […]

The #NerdsRead Pull List – February 10, 2016
This week we reviewed two first issues: Jonesy from BOOM! Studios, which Sam enjoyed on the timely Valentine’s holiday, and Imposter, from indie comics publisher 21 Pulp. Also from BOOM! Studios, Sam reviewed Lantern City from BOOM! Studios, while Kylee read Last Sons of America. From Dark Horse, Kylee also read the always haunting Harrow […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – December 23, 2015
Sam was, unfortunately, underwhelmed by the first issue of Venus from BOOM! Studios, but Kylee is still loudly and belligerently singing the praises of Arcadia in this week’s pull list. She is also lamenting the potential end of The Paybacks from Dark Horse, while simultaneously wishing someone would put her and Fight Club 2 out […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – October 28, 2015
We’re pretty much in agreement here at Nerdophiles that Fight Club 2 might just be the worst comic of 2015… and yet we’re still reading this trainwreck to see it defy expectations of just how awful it can get every month. That being said, Arcadia continues to be one of the best […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – September 23, 2015
Sam found Negative Space to be worth the almost three month wait, while The Spire is starting to lose her interest narratively speaking. Kylee also had one awesome read – the always fantastic Arcadia – and one read that she wishes she could quit. At this point, she’s basically hate-reading Fight Club 2 if […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – August 12, 2015
Another one of our lighter weeks for comics. We tried out new series Americatown from Archaia, but both Sam and Kylee agreed that it wasn’t great. Sam also couldn’t continue Rebels from Dark Horse out of sheer boredom with the series. But we did enjoy the comics that we otherwise read and reviewed […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – July 1, 2015
BOOM! Studios is pumping out some of our favorite series this year and this week showcases some of the best! Arcadia and Broken World are two strong sci-fi outings that Kylee finds more interesting with each issue. Sam thinks that Cluster had a bit of a slow issue, but is setting itself up for […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – June 3, 2015
We’ve got the final impressions of Feathers and Plunder this week, as both series wrap up – though, sadly, Sam was not all that impressed with how things ended with either series. Arcadia continues to be compelling and unique with its second issue and Broken World makes a strong debut. A heavily skewed BOOM! Studios […]
The #NerdsRead Pull List – May 6, 2015
We’re back again (a little late) this week with our weekly pull list post! Ashley was out of town this past week but she back with us on Wednesday. There were some pretty great reads available this week and BOOM! Studios definitely dominated our to-read list this time around. But […]
