Creator-Owned Heroes #2 Cover

Review: Creator-Owned Heroes #2

By Walt Richardson | Jul 5, 2012 | Reviews

Recently, the rights of comics creators have once more entered the foreground — and, more specifically, how those creators have been abused by companies. About time, if you ask me. How does that make creators feel? Incensed, I would imagine. Luckily, a certain bands of creators have banded together to create a publication that’s 50% […]

Amazing Spider-Man Nothing Short of Spectacular [Movie Review]

By Gilbert Short | Jul 3, 2012 | Reviews

Merely a decade after the first Spider-Man movie was released; it almost seems too soon to tell his origin again. “It’s too soon!” they yelled across the internet. But as the film started to come together, Emma Stone announced as Peter Parker’s first love Gwen Stacy (even though everyone, including myself, had her pegged for […]

The Hypernaturals #1 Cover

Review: The Hypernaturals #1

By Walt Richardson | Jun 29, 2012 | Reviews

Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning are the members of an exclusive writing duo that has quite a vocal fan base, particularly when it comes to their cosmic Marvel work. And for good reason — events such as “Annihilation” and “The Thanos Imperative” were beloved by many simply because they were exciting stories with great characterization. […]

Review: Prophet #26

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 28, 2012 | Reviews

It has been a while since we’ve discussed Image’s first title in the Extreme relaunch, “Prophet” (since the book debuted, actually), but this issue sees Brandon Graham both writing and illustrating the issue. If that’s not worth a discussion, then I don’t know what is. Let’s discuss. Written and illustrated by Brandon Graham Jaxson must find […]

Review: Blue Beetle #10

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 22, 2012 | Reviews

There is something about the third generation of DC heroes that seems to stick. Kyle Rayner was supplanted as main Green Lantern, but stuck around and became a key element to the GL mythos; Tim Drake, the Robin who wasn’t the original and wasn’t hit in the face with a crowbar until he died from […]

Nightwing #10 Cover

Review: Nightwing #10

By Walt Richardson | Jun 22, 2012 | Reviews

Review: Birds of Prey #10

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 21, 2012 | Reviews

“Birds of Prey” is a bunch of things all at once: a team book, a Bat-family book, a book full of female characters, and a book about redemption. In fact, I think redemption is the clearest word I can find to talk about this book. Black Canary murdered her husband, Poison Ivy is a “recovering” […]

Review: Casanova: Avaritia #4

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jun 21, 2012 | Reviews

I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but the only comic I was really excited for this week was the final issue for this arc of “Casanova.” One of the best books currently being published (if not the best), it was a pretty big moment for Casanova fans as the arc came to- Well, […]

X-Factor #238 Cover

Review: X-Factor #238

By Walt Richardson | Jun 21, 2012 | Reviews

At this point, “X-Factor” is one of those books that has found its fan base. If you are a regular comic book reader and are reading “X-Factor,” you are probably going to keep reading “X-Factor” so long as Peter David is writing it. If, of the other hand, you have been reading for at least […]

Review: Legion Lost #10

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 15, 2012 | Reviews

I’m a huge time-travel nerd. My G-Chat status is always “Destroy the Time Phone,” an inside joke between some friends that another, amazingly talented friend turned into a short film (not starring me, though my voice does make a cameo). Back to the Future is my favorite film, but Primer isn’t too far behind. So, […]
