By | May 3, 2013 | Reviews

Andy Diggle got exactly one month of writing duties all to himself before he walked off the book. His “Action Comics” #19 had us feeling bittersweet about the beginning of something good that would never see its intended conclusion. Although Tony Daniel picks up a writing credit and graciously purports to finish what Diggle had […]

Review: Suicide Risk #1

By | May 2, 2013 | Reviews

Mike Carey’s best work (“Lucifer” & “The Unwritten”) is steeped in fantasy, mysticism, and literary reference. His superhero output hasn’t really taken off and has mostly been limited to established characters. But he usually takes great advantage of the freedom of creator-owned work and has a chance to craft his own cape-filled world. His new […]

Review: DC Universe Presents #19

By | Apr 19, 2013 | Reviews

If the idea behind DC Comics’ “WTF month” was to create comic covers based out of pure deception and craft uninspired stories out of underwhelming “surprises”, then “DC Universe Presents” #19 just might be their biggest success in April. If you were drowsy while reading that first line, I’m saying that this is not a […]

The whole “Saga” #12 ejaculate controversy got me thinking about the first time I ever saw such a thing in a comic book. I was trying to figure out why this particular panel of a decidedly adult comic book would cause such consternation among comic book fans, retailers, and the corporate entities involved. I started […]

Review: Invincible Universe #1

By | Apr 12, 2013 | Reviews

An “Invincible” spinoff written by Phil Hester with art from Todd Nauck? Haven’t we done this song and dance before? Well, the answer is “yes”, but that doesn’t mean that “Invincible Universe” #1 isn’t a darn good comic book. It’s also an even better symbol of the potential of Robert Kirkman’s creations to go out […]
