Review: The Rocketeer: Cargo of Doom #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 23, 2012 | Reviews

Envisioned as a love-letter to the pulp heroes of the 1930’s and 40’s, half of the battle with creating a satisfying Rocketeer story is to get that tone right — but for attempting a golden age homage, it’d be tough to draft up a better pairing than Mark Waid and Chris Samnee. So with a […]

Review: Rachel Rising #10

By Michelle White | Aug 23, 2012 | Reviews

Ah, “Rachel Rising”. The consistently good comic. The consistently creepy comic. But as Moore reveals more and more about the horrors afflicting the town of Manson, there’s a little less unease in the air… Written and Illustrated by Terry Moore The Manson serial killer is filling the morgue with victims and the police are baffled […]

After a brief hiatus, Mignolaversity rolls on with the first of two Lobster Johnson one-shots coming from Dark Horse in the coming months. “The Prayer of Neferu” deals with the theft of a mummy, and the attempted conjuring of its spirit. Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi Illustrated by Wilfredo Torres The Heliopic Brotherhood […]

Review: Captain Marvel #2

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 17, 2012 | Reviews

Unfortunately timed to debut before the “Marvel NOW!” initiative takes center stage in a few months, “Captain Marvel” #1 was one of the best debut issues of the year, and set up the series as one to watch going forward, whether or not it will be part of the new initiative. Written by Kelly Sue […]

Review: The Victories #1

By Gilbert Short | Aug 17, 2012 | Reviews

Michael Avon Oeming, part of the indomitable “Powers” and “Takio” team, is back with a creator owned title of his own from Dark Horse. It’s certain to look good, how will the rest of it fare? Written and Illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming Not long from now, all that will stand between you and evil […]

Review: Batwoman #12

By Michelle White | Aug 17, 2012 | Reviews

Batwoman and Wonder Woman? If any team could make that combination work, it’s this one. With J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman providing the words, and Williams himself back on the art, you already know that this issue is going to be well written and good looking. But crossovers are always a little tricky, […]

Review: The Shade #11

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 17, 2012 | Reviews

When this 12-issue miniseries started there was speculation from James Robinson himself that we may not be fortunate enough to see the end of it due to sales numbers. Despite those fears, “The Shade” proved to be a witty and sprawling fantasy tale that helped Robinson work his way back into critical acclaim, and apparently […]

Review: Fatale #7

By Matthew Boren | Aug 17, 2012 | Reviews

A dash of “Sleeper”, a Noir-stock, a generous helping of Lovecraft and the spice of history. Let it stew. Best served cold, like revenge. Congrats! You have “Fatale” #7. The sprawling tale of noir-horror continues this week. Written by Ed Brubaker Illustrated by Sean Philips BRUBAKER and PHILLIPS best-selling occult noir series continues its second […]

Review: Before Watchmen: Rorschach #1

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Aug 17, 2012 | Reviews

Perhaps the most anticipated of the “Before Watchmen” series is finally here, with the “Joker”/”Luthor” team of Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo at the helm. When we look into his mask, what will we see? Written by Brian Azzarello Illustrated by Lee Bermejo “What made you this way?” Brian: Well David, after a few weeks […]

Review: Green Lantern #12

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 16, 2012 | Reviews

As the first year of “Green Lantern” wraps up, it is amazing just how different this series feels than it did pre-“Flashpoint,” despite not ditching its mythology like so many other series did. Sinestro has been the focal point of the book thus far, and with Hal Jordan relegated to sidekick status, it has reinvigorated […]

Review: Daredevil #17

By Gilbert Short | Aug 16, 2012 | Reviews

Mark Waid continues his Eisner Award Winning run on “Daredevil” and now he has the indomitable Allreds in tow. Let’s take a look to see good this book really is. Written by Mark Waid Illustrated by Mike and Laura Allred Nelson/Murdock no more! Foggy’s discovered a secret Matt’s been keeping–and he doesn’t take it well! […]

Review: Saga #6

By Michelle White | Aug 16, 2012 | Reviews

What’s this? Another review telling you how great “Saga” is? Well, pretty much — but we’re coming to the end of an arc here, so there’s a lot riding on this rocket ship issue. Does this lovely series keep up the loveliness right until the end of the arc, ensuring that all readers will still […]

Review: Wonder Woman #12

By Matthew Boren | Aug 16, 2012 | Reviews

Arguably one of the best titles of The New 52, “Wonder Woman” has had a strong first year. With many number twelves either transitioning into bigger stories and crossovers or ending entirely, “Wonder Woman” ties off this year long arc spectacularly and then teases the heck out of readers. Written by Brian Azzarello Illustrated by […]

Review: Revival #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 16, 2012 | Reviews

Tim Seeley and Mike Norton’s Midwestern horror love-letter blew the doors off of comic book shops last month, selling out quickly and receiving favorable comparisons to “The Walking Dead.” Though the comparison is fair and its target audience of horror fans is similar, the opening issue confidently went about being its own animal — and […]

Review: Pathfinder #1

By Walt Richardson | Aug 16, 2012 | Reviews

After his early stint on the comic spinoff of the Exalted roleplaying game and the success of his acclaimed fantasy semi-parody “Skullkickers,” it was only a matter of time before Jim Zub was picked up for another comic spinoff of a roleplaying game. This time around, the lucky winner is Paizo’s fan-favorite Pathfinder, based on […]

Review: Batgirl #12

By Michelle White | Aug 10, 2012 | Reviews

Is it just me, or is there a heck of a lot happening in “Batgirl” these days? There’s a brand new gang of vigilantes headed by a villain out of Arkham Asylum, James Jr. is prowling around in the background, and now Batwoman’s gotten herself involved in Batgirl’s dealings with a corrupt cop. But apart […]

Review: Gambit #1

By Gilbert Short | Aug 10, 2012 | Reviews

It’s the comic you’ve been waiting for! Gambit is back in his own book called…”Gambit!” Let’s take a…gambit to see how good it is. Let’s also see how many gambit puns I can make in one review. Written by James Asmus Illustrated by Clay Mann ALL-NEW ONGOING SERIES! When Marvel’s premiere thief sets his sights […]

Review: Godzilla – Half-Century War #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Aug 10, 2012 | Reviews

So, once upon a time this guy named James Stokoe wanted to draw a Godzilla comic. While he couldn’t draw that, he drew a comic about orcs with hidden penises everywhere. But then, in the kingdom of IDW, a command was given and the wish was granted — and we all lived happily ever after […]

Five Thoughts on “Before Watchmen: Ozymandias” #2 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 10, 2012 | Reviews

Jae Lee and Len Wein absolutely killed it on “Before Watchmen: Ozymandias” #1 – will they be able to make magic happen twice? Written by Len Wein Illustrated by Jae Lee “Why not just kill me now and be done with it?” 1. Crossing the Streams This issue continues the trend of these books telling […]

Review: Thor: Unkillable Thunder Christ

By Matthew Boren | Aug 10, 2012 | Reviews

Let’s be frank. There is something about the audacity of this title that is either going to make you want to pick it up immediately or consider it blasphemy, but a little voice in the back of the brain is saying that the polarization is probably the point. Afterall, what is the point of art […]

Review: Daredevil Annual #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 10, 2012 | Reviews

For the last year or so, Daredevil has flourished under the direction of writer Mark Waid and a bevy of art talent well-suited to the character. But this annual is the product of Alan Davis in both the script and the art, with no involvement from any creative talent from the ongoing series. On that […]
