Review: Justice League International Annual #1

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 31, 2012 | Reviews

There is a sort of fundamental flaw that happens whenever comics try and reboot themselves, and it is a flaw that hurts both new and longtime readers. It is this: people don’t forget. For fans who are used to seeing a character wearing a yellow costume, the blue costume will always be an alternate, just […]

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 31, 2012 | Reviews

Plenty of plot strings come to a fruition point, while Geoff Johns finally picks up on the “Third Army” he’s been teasing for what seems like many months now. There’s no doubt about it, there’s a lot going on in the “Green Lantern” line and “everything changes” is not just comic book marketing jargon this […]

Review: American Vampire #30

By Matthew Boren | Aug 30, 2012 | Reviews

Review: Amulet Volume 5 – Prince of the Elves

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 30, 2012 | Reviews

The best all-ages series you don’t read has a new volume either out now or out this weekend. I’m honestly not sure. I got my copy last week thanks to an Amazon mishap. Either way, I’m here to tell you why you need to read Amulet — or, if you’re already reading it, why you’re […]

By Michelle White | Aug 30, 2012 | Reviews

So: we’ve come to the fifth issue of “Smoke and Mirrors” and the end of its first arc. Looking back on how this story has played out, is this magic-centered comic a feat of misdirection, or does it have some more tricks up its sleeve? Written by Mike Costa & Jon Armstrong Illustrated by Ryan […]

Review: Steed and Mrs. Peel #0

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 30, 2012 | Reviews

“Steed and Mrs. Peel” is based on the 1960’s The Avengers TV series that your parents probably think of whenever you’re actually talking about Cap, Iron Man, and Thor.

Review: Batman: The Dark Knight #12

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 24, 2012 | Reviews

The Gotham City-related books have been largely responsible for keeping this whole New 52 thing looking so good for DC Comics, but “Batman: The Dark Knight” seems to be the oft-forgotten Bat-book that plays in the corner while everyone else dukes it out with the owls and the Talons and whatnot. Early on, David Finch’s […]

Review: Yi Soon Shin, Warrior and Defender

By Michelle White | Aug 24, 2012 | Reviews

Historical dramas can be tricky. Apart from questions of authenticity and attention to period detail, there’s always the worry that the reader will feel too distant from the goings-on that make up the plot.

Review: Venom #23

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 24, 2012 | Reviews

Venom is one of my all-time favorite characters, and when it was announced that Rick Remender and Tony Moore would be helming a new ongoing my heart jumped out of my chest. But Moore left some time ago and Remender just left an issue ago, so now it’s time for the new creative team of […]

Review: Scalped #60

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 23, 2012 | Reviews

I remember the first time I read “Scalped.” I was sitting in a hospital waiting room a few years ago, awaiting a phone call from a doctor that would let me know everything was ok and to tell me what room to visit. I read the first few volumes of “Scalped” in that time, eating […]
