Review: Batman Annual #1

By | May 31, 2012 | Reviews

DC’s first wave of annuals are here, with critical favorites “Animal Man” and “Batman” being the first to get the extended treatment.

Review: Voodoo #9

By | May 25, 2012 | Reviews

When all the noise about DC hating women started really heating up, “Voodoo” was at the center of the conversation.

Review: Batman Incorporated #1

By | May 24, 2012 | Reviews

Grant Morrison is in a bit of a slump – but it’s not his fault. You see, Morrison is the type of guy who succeeds when he is the one steering the ship, no matter how big of a vessel he’s commanding. When given a small boat to control, like say, “Doom Patrol” in the […]

The Chronicles of Shazam, Volume 1

By | May 18, 2012 | Columns

Captain Marvel has been one of my favorite characters since I was a child – in fact, he was one of three superheroes my father painted on my bedroom walls growing up. I loved the innocence, the wish-fulfillment, the costume, and just about everything else that came from the character. So, in the brave new […]
