By | Nov 19, 2012 | News

We’d talked a bit about “Uncanny Skullkickers” #1 on Friday, but only based on a teaser and solicit info. There’s no way it could get better, right? It could. It can. It did. Read on for Image’s rather hilarious press release for “Uncanny Skullkickers” #1. I’ve gone ahead and bolded my favorite bits. Image Press […]

By | Nov 19, 2012 | News

This week while hosting SNL, Jeremy Renner reprised his role as Hawkeye for an Avengers-themed sketch in which the question is asked: “How useful is Hawkeye, anyway?” Or, as a woman in my theater liked to call him repeatedly during the film while explaining things to her son, the Hawk guy.

After months of teasers dealing with just one word, Marvel has dropped a new teaser full of 0’s and 1’s, teasing something called AU. What is AU?

Review: The Phantom Stranger #2

By | Nov 16, 2012 | Reviews

A work of art does many things; it recontextualizes moments of our lives, it challenges preconceptions, it teaches us about ourselves and, most importantly perhaps, it gets us to ask questions.
