While I used to read comics constantly while growing up, it's been a few years since I’ve read anything, especially when it comes to DC Comics. The most recent series I’ve been interested in reading has been their stand alone alternate timeline tales such as Dark Knights of Steel (2021) and to lesser extent DC vs. Vampires (2021). While the main universe titles have lost their luster for me due to terrible writing decisions (I will never forgive them for what they did to the Super Sons), the new Absolute titles from DC drew me in yet again for a tale from elseworld to end my comic drought.
The Prince in the Basement is the latest comic from Mira Ong Chua (MOC). Known for other comics such as ROADQUEEN: Eternal Roadtrip to Love and Vampire Blood Drive, MOC offers a distinct art style and storytelling to fans of queer romance titles. Their kickstarter was successfully funded the same day it launched because fans couldn’t wait to get their hands on their new title.

Another limited series from DC Comics with stellar art and an elseworld story that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
I probably can’t convey in words just how excited I was to read this series after so long, but I’m certainly going to try. I added it to my local comic store pull list as soon as it was announced and even double dipped digitally to have it on my kindle app to read first thing in the morning on release date. Like I said I was EXCITED.
I'm a big fan of Aliens, the 1986 movie by James Cameron with Sigourney Weaver, so when I saw a comic called Alien that just started this year I thought, why not try it out. Nothing can be as bad as that horrible Prometheus movie right?
Who knew a Medieval alternate universe setting with fan favorite comic book superheroes would actually be good!?
If you're looking for a heartwarming romantic comedy this is it.
