“Magnificent Ms. Marvel” #1

By | Mar 18, 2019 | News

A friend of mine theorizes that every decade gets a superheroic everyman. A hero of the people who represents their generation. In the 60s we had Peter Parker. In the 90s there was Jack Knight. And today, we’ve got Kamala Khan, a good kid from Jersey City, struggling to do the right thing. The young […]

There are a lot of comics out there, but some just stand out head and shoulders above the pack. With “Don’t Miss This” we want to spotlight those series we think need to be on your pull list. This week, we’re looking at Marvel’s “Champions.” The series has been written by Jim Zub since issue […]

Mutantversity: Cyclops Vs. America

By | Mar 4, 2019 | Columns

Welcome back to Mutantversity, a class offered at the stately Xavier Mansion. This isn’t a space for reviewing X-Men books- we have reviews for that! But it’s wrong to bury the lede- this month had some of the most exciting X-Men comics in years. The return of some classic characters has given the X-line more […]

“Star Trek: The Q Conflict” #2

By | Mar 1, 2019 | Reviews

There are some fandom conversations that are stalwart, but dumb. I’m talking the likes of “who would win in a fight, Superman or Goku?” (The answer is that they would team up and have a really nice friend date.) “Star Trek: The Q Conflict” is based on one such question. In this case: “Who would […]

“Guardians of the Galaxy” #2

By | Feb 22, 2019 | Reviews

It is so exciting that “Guardians of the Galaxy” is back. It’s been almost ten years. Sure, in that time we’ve had two hit movies, a best-selling Bendis series, an ambitious run by Gerry Duggan, oodles of spin-offs, a high-profile scandal involving the director of those two hit movies, and a Guardians led crossover event.

Buffyversity: If the Apocalypse Comes, DM Me

By | Feb 19, 2019 | Columns

The original Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered in March of 1997. (Well actually, the character first premiered in a 1992 movie. I see you nerds.) The new rebooted series transplants the cast, the town, and everything else, and puts them into the modern day. 22 years may not be a lot to a vampire, but […]

“Captain Marvel” #2

By | Feb 15, 2019 | Reviews

When most Marvel heroes have a new movie coming out, the comic makes sure to showcase the villains and supporting cast from the film. But Carol Danvers don’t play like that! In this issue she battles, and I quote: “Nuclear Man. Formerly Mahkizmo. Once upon a time a Fantastic Four villain, looks like a seven-foot […]

We Want Comics: Hannibal

By | Feb 12, 2019 | Columns

Some of us want stories about villains, and few villains are more loved and feared than Doctor Hannibal Lecter. The evil mastermind has corrupted and cannibalized victims in novels, films, and television, but never in comic books. Part of the fun of Hannibal stories is how they play with perspective to tell thrilling tales of […]

“Avengers” #14

By | Feb 8, 2019 | Reviews

Jason Aaron’s “Avengers” was a little hard to get a read on at first, but now it is 100% certified Aaron-style insanity. Nothing could be better. Aaron’s blend of mad imaginatings, comic book craft, and soap opera storytelling are why we read superhero comics. There is so much happening in this issue, it’s almost overwhelming, […]
