Jim Zub’s Top 10 Go-to Comic Book/Graphic Novel List
Over on the True North Country Comics site I have a list of 10 Go-to comics or graphic novels you need to check out and add to your collection. Read my quick rundown on some of the best the comic medium has to offer and, if you’re missing any, make sure you put them on your reading list!
D&D: Infernal Tides #3 Reviews
• Comics For Sinners: “This comic book keeps delivering. Good story. Great art. Endings that keep you yearning for more.”
• Fanboy Factor: “It’s richly complex, vastly full of characters and dramatic tension, battles that seem unwinnable, and good versus the evil.”
• Screen Rant: “…exquisite imagery and precise linework that conveys both the magnitude and scale of Avernus and the claustrophobic intimacy of a vicious street brawl with the legions of Hell.”
• Sequential Planet: “It’s a fun adventure that has tons to love and a wonderful start to the return of comic books”
