Review: Aquaman # 11

By Matthew Boren | Jul 26, 2012 | Reviews

After succumbing to the wave of peer pressure, I’m picking up “Aquaman: for the first time after the relaunch.

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

By Brian Salvatore | Jul 26, 2012 | Reviews

Last month, David Harper and I called “Before Watchmen: The Comedian” #1 the worst title thus far of the line (an honor completely overtaken by “Nite Owl”). Would this month’s installment be any better? Written by Brian Azzarello Illustrated by JG Jones “It’s something I’m good at. It’s war.” 1. JG Jones is still JG […]

By Gilbert Short | Jul 26, 2012 | Reviews

Review: X-treme X-Men #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Jul 26, 2012 | Reviews

Given the devisiveness of Chris Claremont’s early 2000’s “X-treme X-Men” series, the title brings a lot of baggage along with it. But anyone with positive or negative feelings about that title should disregard them right now – this is certainly not that book. The real question is whether Greg Pak’s multiverse-spanning new series is good […]

Review: Grim Leaper #3

By Michelle White | Jul 26, 2012 | Reviews

Wiebe and Santos keep the gore, the romance and the gory romance coming in this, the penultimate issue of “Grim Leaper”. Written by Kurtis Wiebe Illustrated by AluÃsio Santos Life’s no picnic. Still, Ella and Lou find some quiet time for romance. Too bad death proves to be a frequent third wheel. Don’t miss the […]

Review: The Underwater Welder

By Walt Richardson | Jul 26, 2012 | Reviews

Jeff Lemire has entered the mainstream stage a bit more due to his role writing “Animal Man” and other series as part of DC’s recent relaunch, but other comic fans know him better for his role as a writer/illustrator of brilliant graphic novels such as “Essex County.” The latest graphic novel from Lemire and Top […]

The Dark Knight Rises: The Flawed But Strong Finale To DC’s Best Film Series [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jul 23, 2012 | Reviews

For many people, there is “Before The Dark Knight” and “After The Dark Knight.” A colossal film that deftly broke down the barrier between being “a comic movie” and “a movie” in the eyes of many, it’s a film that was a gamechanger. Taking home an Academy Award posthumosly to Heath Ledger (whose fantastic performance surprised […]

By Michelle White | Jul 23, 2012 | Reviews

Kurtis Wiebe. Riley Rossmo. Garbage monsters, and a heroine with a really fantastic braid. If there’s a more exciting combination of elements out there, I haven’t heard of it. Written by a Kurtis J.

Review: Batwoman #11

By Michelle White | Jul 20, 2012 | Reviews

As “To Drown the World” comes to its visually stylish conclusion, some — but not all — of the plot threads are tied up, maintaining a central mystery to lure us into the next arc. Written by J.H. Williams III & W. Haden Blackman Illustrated by Trevor McCarthy – The conclusion of “TO DROWN THE […]

Review: Batman Beyond Unlimited #6

By Matthew Boren | Jul 20, 2012 | Reviews

“Batman Beyond” was one of those polarizing shows in the late late nineties. When brought up among people who grew up in that time (or enjoyed DCAU shows regardless of age), it provoked a love/ hate response. Now with two miniseries and this current ongoing, those who loved it have a lot to be happy […]

Wonder Woman #11 Cover

Review: Wonder Woman #11

By Vince Ostrowski | Jul 20, 2012 | Reviews

Brian Azzarello’s re-imagined “Wonder Woman” lost a little bit of steam in recent issues, shifting the setting to Hell in a dramatic fashion, but leaving too much unfinished business along the way. Issue #11 brings the cast back to the mortal coil, as it were, but can it bring the series back to being the […]

Review: Saga #5

By Brian Salvatore | Jul 20, 2012 | Reviews

Few comics come with the pre-release hype that “Saga” did. Brian K. Vaughan is the creator of one of the most acclaimed series of the past twenty years, “Y: The Last Man,” and Fiona Staples has long been cited as one of the best female artists working today (which isn’t really true; she’s one of […]

Review: Daredevil #15

By Walt Richardson | Jul 20, 2012 | Reviews

The newest volume of “Daredevil” recently won a handful of Eisner awards! You know what that means — time for me to tear this beloved series a new one. Okay, just kidding.

Review: Finding Gossamyr #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Jul 19, 2012 | Reviews

Since the Golden Age, mainstream comics have matured in subject matter in such a manner that the degree of violence or sexual suggestion is becoming unavoidable and the division between the “kids” rack and the rest of the books has never been more clear. At the same time, and with some notable exceptions, modern kid […]

Review: Blue Beetle # 11

By Matthew Boren | Jul 19, 2012 | Reviews

Jaime Reyes seems to be popping up everywhere these days. Cartoons, Smallville, video games, and even a possible live action show in the works. Couple all of that exposure with this issue, and it looks as though DC is trying to make Jaime Reyes their very own Peter Parker. However, the powers that be at DC seem to be […]
