Review: X-treme X-Men #1

By | Jul 26, 2012 | Reviews

Given the devisiveness of Chris Claremont’s early 2000’s “X-treme X-Men” series, the title brings a lot of baggage along with it. But anyone with positive or negative feelings about that title should disregard them right now – this is certainly not that book. The real question is whether Greg Pak’s multiverse-spanning new series is good […]

We don’t know about the rest of you, but we’re a bit addicted to GetGlue. If you haven’t checked it out before, it’s a silly thing, really: you check in to what you are watching, playing or reading and are rewarded a sticker for it. When you get a certain number of stickers, once a […]

By | Jul 25, 2012 | Columns

Daenerys Stormborn by Agnes Garbowska For this week’s Art Column, the featured piece was the simplest choice in the world. I’m a big fan of Game of Thrones and I love Agnes Garbowska’s takes on the characters, including one of my favorite characters: Daenerys Targaryen, the Mother of Dragons. Somehow she’s the perfect blend of […]
