Review: It Girl and the Atomics #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Aug 9, 2012 | Reviews

It’s been a while since we’ve been able to visit Mike Allred’s quirky brainchild, “Madman.” Though that character is not the subject of this series, it was with much fanfare that Image comics announced a return to that universe through “It Girl and the Atomics.” But will fans of Allred’s beloved series find something to […]

Review: Spider-Men #4

By Walt Richardson | Aug 9, 2012 | Reviews

Brian Michael Bendis’s “Ultimate Spider-Man” work has been garnering plenty of press lately: first, he kills off Ultimate Peter Parker, then he introduces a new, black Spider-Man, and now he is introducing said new Spider-Man to the original, 616 Peter Parker. Underneath all the media hype, though, the question remains: is Bendis still telling the […]

Review: Justice League International #12

By Brian Salvatore | Aug 3, 2012 | Reviews

Annual notwithstanding, we are at the end of the line for “Justice League International.” One of the more anticipated series of the New 52, primarily due to the wonderful, idiosyncratic work done on the title in the past, as well as in the recent “Justice League: Generation Lost” maxi-series, has bitten the dust. Have we […]

Review: Hawkeye #1

By Chad Bowers | Aug 2, 2012 | Reviews

Unlike some other comics bloggers out there, I’m a Hawkeye fan. I won’t get into the whys and what fors, and how I got hooked on the character pretty early in my comics life, but trust me, I’ve read a lot of Hawkeye comics. In fact, I anticipated all of that working against me when […]

Review: Harvest #1

By Michelle White | Aug 2, 2012 | Reviews

What could Benjamin Dane want with his corner store’s entire supply of ice? The answer isn’t pretty, but then neither is the prospect of never practicing his profession again.

Review: Garfield #4

By Walt Richardson | Aug 2, 2012 | Reviews

Believe it or not, there was a time when “Garfield” was a solid, enjoyable Sunday comic strip. Sure, those days were very numbered, but the first few years of the fat cat produced some pretty enjoyable strips.

Review: American Vampire # 29

By Matthew Boren | Jul 27, 2012 | Reviews

Other reviwers have mentioned that the first issue of this arc seemed to fall a bit far from the tree, quality wise. All that considered, “American Vampire” just passed the two year mark, and it has been consistently entertaining, so let us give it the benefit of the doubt and allow the creators the odd […]
