“Batman/Superman” #1

By Matthew Blair | Aug 30, 2019 | Reviews

Batman and Superman. It’s a legendary team up starring two of the greatest super heroes ever published. It also comes with a crap ton of history and a daunting pedigree that has produced some of the greatest moments in comic books when it works, and disappointment when it doesn’t. “Batman/Superman” #1 works. In fact, it […]

“Superman & Batman: Generations”

By Eric Goebelbecker | Aug 30, 2019 | Reviews

In 1999, DC Comics published the first four issues of an Elseworlds story that spawned two more limited series and a total of 20 individual issues. “Superman & Batman: Generations” eschews comic-book time and tells the story of two of DC’s most popular heroes and the dynasties that they create.

“Tommy Gun Wizards” #1

By John Schaidler | Aug 30, 2019 | Reviews

With “Tommy Gun Wizards” #1 creator Christian Ward delivers the mashup we didn’t know we were waiting for, but in the end is the concept a little too predictable?

“Fantastic Four: 4 Yancy Street” #1

By Michael Govan | Aug 30, 2019 | Reviews

Why do citizens of the Marvel Universe still live in New York? It’s a question I’ve asked before and it’s a question I’ll probably ask again. Even if we set aside the risk to your life, what about the risk to, well, literally everything else? Hank Pym could stumble and flatten your car into a […]

“Doctor Mirage” #1

By Rowan Grover | Aug 29, 2019 | Reviews

“Doctor Mirage” has always been one of the more interesting highlights of the Valiant lineup, existing on the fringes of the action with series that end up being much more introspective than the usual superhero affair.

Pick of the Week: “Marvel Comics” #1000

By Robbie Pleasant | Aug 29, 2019 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

80 years. That’s a lot of time for anything, but for Marvel Comics to continue entertaining for so long is a a testament to its quality, its stories, and the appeal of its characters. There’s quite a heft history behind the comics, and “Marvel Comics #1000” is designed to be both a tribute to said […]

“Snow, Glass, Apples”

By Shamus Clancy | Aug 28, 2019 | Reviews

If any writer in the world of fiction was to ever deconstruct the Snow White fairy tale while adding vampirism, necrophilia and sexual escapades ripped from a novel about Christian Grey, it would be Neil Gaiman. He deftly steers the store more towards the macabre than something blatantly tasteless that could’ve befallen a lesser writer. […]

“This Place: 150 Years Retold”

By Alea Perez | Aug 27, 2019 | Reviews

North American history is often framed in such a way that it portrays white European colonizers as heroic bringers of civilization to vast empty lands ripe for the taking. In “This Place: 150 Years Retold,” twenty contributors – twelve writers, six illustrators, and two colorists – join forces to correct this false narrative and reframe […]

On the one hand, that’s a welcome change from the vast majority of the previous 32 issues of the series, which mostly felt like they were spinning plates. On […]
