By Brian Salvatore | Dec 27, 2012 | Reviews

‘Throne of Atlantis,’ a 5-part (with an epilogue) “Justice League”/”Aquaman” crossover, starts this week with opening salvos from both titles, and marking the debut issues of new artists to each book.

Review: Nowhere Men #2

By Michelle White | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

The first issue of Nowhere Men got a solid 8.0 from us, establishing an interesting new universe in which a “Fab Four” group of scientists have gained international popularity… and notoriety. The second issue continues on similar lines in that there isn’t a whole lot of plot or thematic depth as of yet, but the […]

Review: Django Unchained #1

By Vince Ostrowski | 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: FF #2

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

The gender reversed, multi-colored, still learning how exactly how to do this Fantastic Four face an old villain, new challenges, and try to understand a machine that goes “boop boop.” Be warned, spoilers live below. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Mike Allred Ant-Man! She Hulk! Medusa! And, um — Ms. Thing? – How does […]

Review: Daredevil #21

By Walt Richardson | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

Last issue of “Daredevil,” the Spot’s return was revealed to be something… more. Do Mark Waid and Chris Samnee continue to surprise us with #21, or does this otherwise hyped book gain a spotty reputation with the arc’s conclusion? I know, that was bad and I apologize. Written by Mark Waid Illustrated by Chris Samnee […]

Review: Uncanny X-Force #35

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

Remarkable: it’s been two years since “Uncanny X-Force” originally launched in December 2010. Now December 2012 and 37 issues later (don’t forget those two Point Ones), we’re given one hell of a farewell show from Rick Remender and Phil Noto. Written by Rick Remender Illustrated by Phil Noto – FINAL EXTINCTION CONCLUDES AND SO DOES […]

Review: Hawkeye #6

By Zach Wilkerson | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

David Aja returns to “Hawkeye” for this Holiday tinged issue, the perfect gift for every Hawkguy and Hawkgal. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by David Aja – David Aja returns to the most critically acclaimed comic of 2012! – The Ace Archer Clint Barton faces DVR-MAGEDDON! It’s ironic that nearly every issue of “Hawkeye” to […]

Review: Wonder Woman #15

By Vince Ostrowski | 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 #2

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

The biggest Avengers team in recent memory, with one of the more exciting creative teams in recent memory, coming off one of the biggest movies of all time, in one of the most successful company re-brandings in recent history, takes center stage here. Written by Jonathan Hickman Illustrated by Jerome Opena The greatest heroes in […]

Review: Comeback #2

By Michelle White | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

So: “Comeback” #1 was slow and a bit talky, but enjoyable overall. “Comeback” #2 has the same good bones to it, but is a little talkier; the pace of the series seems to be getting a little slower as more details are added to the mix, rather than quicker. These are the early warning signs […]

Review: Happy #3

By Walt Richardson | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

Nothing “witty” I may say will be any zanier than this comic, so let’s cut to the review. Written by Grant Morrison Illustrated by Darick Robertson With a day left until Christmas, and time running out for Santa’s innocent victims, Happy the Horse learns what turned Nick Sax from golden cop to broken-down hitman. But […]

Review: JSA: Liberty Files – The Whistling Skull #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

It took a while to get to us and had a name change along the way, but B. Clay Moore and Tony Harris’ “Whistling Skull” is finally with us. All good things come to those who wait, right? Written by B. Clay Moore Illustrated by Tony Harris – A new series from acclaimed creators B. […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. 1948 #3 and B.P.R.D. #102 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 19, 2012 | Reviews

Either Christmas came early, or Hanukkah came late this year, because we are getting two issues of “B.P.R.D.” goodness this week. We have a lot to say, so let’s jump right in! Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi Illustrated by Max Fiumara Monsters are killing civilians in the Utah desert, leading Professor Bruttenholm to […]

Review: Batman #15

By Zach Wilkerson | Dec 14, 2012 | Reviews

Over the past three years, Scott Snyder’s name has become synonymous with earth-shattering Batman stories. ‘The Black Mirror’ and ‘The Court of the Owls’ are already spoken in the same breath as stories like ‘Hush’ and ‘The Long Halloween.’ So far, ‘Death of the Family’ has the makings of yet another modern day classic. However, […]

Review: Avengers Arena #1

By Vince Ostrowski | 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: The Hollows #1

By Michelle White | Dec 14, 2012 | Reviews

Living high up in a city-state built in a tree, Craig Mayerik has never really come face-to-face with the people who live down below, and contend every day with the soul-sucking Hollows. But all that soon changes — with potentially life-changing consequences — in this very promising first issue from IDW. Written by Chris Ryall […]

Review: To Hell You Ride #1

By Walt Richardson | Dec 14, 2012 | Reviews

No publisher does horror quite like Dark Horse does, so you know when they announce a new series written by cult favorite actor Lance Henriksen and you’re sure to have a hit, right? …well, maybe not. Written by Lance Henriksen and Joseph Maddrey Illustrated by Tom Mandrake A deadly curse plagues a small town, melting […]

Review: Fantastic Four #2

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 14, 2012 | Reviews

When Matt Fraction laid out the plans for the two books he would be writing featuring the Fantastic Four and their supporting cast, one of the implicit statements was that you did not need to read both books – “FF” and “Fantastic Four” would be separate entities that would be accessible on their own, even […]

Review: Amazing Spider-Man #699.1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 14, 2012 | Reviews

Hello, readers. Look at your comic cover. Now back to me. Now back to your comic solicit. Now back to me. Sadly, this comic isn’t its cover or solicit, but if it was and gave us a comic about Spider-Man and Morbius, it could be something like it. Look below for the full review. Written […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Year’s End” [Review]

This week on Arrow a new bowman vigilante strikes Starling City, Walter snoops deeper into the conspiracy of The List, and Ollie saves Christmas. Also: John Barrowman. Major spoilers ahead! 1.)

Review: Point of Impact #3

By Michelle White | Dec 13, 2012 | Reviews

A secret affair, a mysterious man, and now… a double murder. No, it’s not a crime comic circa 1940, it’s “Point of Impact” #3 from Image Comics, and now that it’s reached its penultimate issue the puzzle pieces are definitely coming together. Written by Jay Faerber Illustrated by Koray Kuranel It’s the penultimate issue of […]
