Review: Morbius – The Living Vampire #1

By | Jan 3, 2013 | Reviews

A “Morbius, the Living Vampire” ongoing seems like an odd choice and a longshot for big sales, even with recent pop culture gone vampire-crazy. But Joe Keatinge is breaking into the world of mainstream comics one way or another and this issue might be proof enough that the man can get a lot out of […]

Review: Mara #1

By | Dec 27, 2012 | Reviews

What is Brian Wood, like a comics writing machine? He’s like some kind of ubiquitous comic rack-filling ninja, seemingly putting stuff out or announcing another project every week. And they’re usually pretty good. With revelatory work from Ming Doyle, “Mara” isn’t looking to be the exception either. Written by Brian Wood Illustrated by Ming Doyle […]

Review: Django Unchained #1

By | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

How do you adapt the titan (some would say diva) that is a Quentin Tarantino script? Well, turns out it might be impossible to do it completely right, but getting R.M. Guera and Jason Latour to draw it is a pretty good place to start. Based on a script by Quentin Tarantino Illustrated by R.M. […]

Review: Wonder Woman #15

By | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

Holy crap, guys and gals. The New Gods are in the New 52. And instead of being squandered or used carelessly, they get to be a part of what was already one of the most exciting series at DC Comics. Written by Brian Azzarello Illustrated by Cliff Chiang – Who is Orion – and what […]

Review: Avengers Arena #1

By | Dec 14, 2012 | Reviews

The infamous series that sent shock waves through Twitter & Tumblr upon its announcement. So much ado was made about the loss of “Avengers Academy” for this book, the fact that it borrows its premise from Battle Royale, and is clearly meant to strike while The Hunger Games is hot. Enough of the B.S. Is […]

Review: Punisher: War Zone #2

By | Dec 7, 2012 | Reviews

Greg Rucka’s 16 issue run on “The Punisher” can already be considered an all-time classic run in the character’s history. It was a sleekly-told and intimate character study of an honorable man who has the capacity to do brutal things. By the end, the principle characters grew and changed and readers came away with a […]

Review: All-New X-Men #3

By | Dec 6, 2012 | Reviews

Brian Michael Bendis’ first entrance into the ongoing exploits of the X-Men proper has been an emotionally satisfying and all-encompassing ride and issue #3, with a quibble or two to be had, isn’t really an exception. Careful, there is a very mild spoiler or two in here. Written by Brian Michael Bendis Illustrated by Stuart […]

This Month in Comics: November 2012

By | Dec 3, 2012 | Columns

November was a booming month for comics, if you ask me. Marvel NOW! kicked off in earnest and contained a bunch of stellar opening issues, with only 1-2 exceptions to that. Image did what they did and released a bunch of solid-to-great #1’s and DC Comics at least had some fine issues of their “Death […]

Review: Teen Titans #14

By | Nov 30, 2012 | Reviews

Scott Lobdell’s “Teen Titans” has gone from being fairly light book to stumbling through an uninteresting and angst-filled crossover in ‘The Culling’ and struggling to find its way after. Does its latest issue mark a turning point or is it further evidence for the mistakes that were made in some corners of DC Comics’ New […]

Review: Thor: God of Thunder #2

By | Nov 29, 2012 | Reviews

The first issue of “Thor: God of Thunder” was like some crazy heavy metal mishmash of everything great about Thor comics. So, the second issue of Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic’s run couldn’t possibly have rocked harder than that, could it? Written by Jason Aaron Illustrated by Esad Ribic Someone is murdering the gods of […]
