Review: The Punisher #16

By | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

Greg Rucka’s “Punisher” ongoing comes to an end after only 16 issues. And within these 16 issues was an already classic tale in the Punisher mythos that did a lot to advance a character that has been around since 1974.

By | Sep 13, 2012 | Reviews

Last month, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee gave us a beautiful opening to their Rocketeer miniseries. And though they nailed the world of the principle characters, we only barely got a hint of the titular cargo. Thankfully, they definitely brought the promised “doom” this time around.

Review: Fashion Beast #1

By | Sep 7, 2012 | Reviews
