Good call on Conner Hawke, Nick. I’m not a huge fan of the character - really only know him from guest-appearances - but Dixon seems to be on his game in the rock-solid first issue, and there’s just something cool about super-archers.

Loved the bit where Conner asks the guy if his dad’s invited to the contest.

“I don’t know. Does your dad shoot a bow?”

It looks like the beginning of a miniseries… but it’s marked a special, which generally means a one-shot. My guess is that it’s a pilot of sorts, to see if there’s enough interest to finish the story.

Hi all,

Is Mischief Night Special #1 (Avatar Press) a one shot, or is it the beginning of a mini/series?

Thanks

Thanks skiski.

Also good to know about Drain. The book seemed like it could be rather entertaining and the looks nice. But with books like this one it’s often hard to judge for me if there is enough substance story- and conceptwise beyond the promising first impression.
I guess I’ll let this one pass me by. Those wednesday #1 features you guys offer are very helpful, thank you.

Thank you for these reviews. I found the first 24 one-shot quite bad, so now I know I can also skip Nightfall.

Elephantmen #0 is, indeed, a reprint of Unatural Selection.

I’ve already read Hipflask when it was published through Active Images and I loved it. I also like the new Elephantmen series a lot.

Is Elephantmen #0 a reprint of Hipflask: Unnatural Selection or is it something new?
