Red 5 Comics continues to impress me with the wide range of titles they're publishing, and the skill they put into every title. They've got a pulp adventure comic (Atomic Robo), a fantasy-action comic (Neozoic), and now a straight up superhero comic in Midknight. What impressed me most with this is the unique hook that this series has, which I have never really seen before in a comic...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

Mmmmm... I do love me a bit of fine post-apocalyptic fiction.

The Terminator. The Matrix. Singularity 7. Mad Max. I Am Legend! There's just something about the post-apocalyptic setting that fascinates me. No chance for a happy ending. The worst has already happened. The good guys lost. The world ended. What happens next? What stories are told in the aftermath? How do we, as a society and as a species, bounce back?...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!

For a new publisher, Red 5 Comics has done a good job of making a name for itself, getting some buzz on their Atomic Robo book and hitting the deadlines for a good number of other books.

A life of parenting and crime-fighting never stops the for superhero duo of David and Tarilyn D’Ville in Midknight #1. In the first issue of the Red 5 published comic, the two heroes, also known as Midknight and Knightingale, have date night at a hockey game, disrupt a mob-style robbery, stop a furor in church, and manage to take care of their young daughter with a little help from their nanny. The delicate balance between life and hero's work hangs precariously in the air, like to pieces of fruit in mid juggle...continue reading this review at Geeks of Doom!
