Review: American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares #1

By | Jun 15, 2012 | Reviews

Scott Snyder’s Eisner-nominated ongoing series has spawned yet another miniseries, this time tapping fan-favorite Batman artist Dustin Nguyen for artistic duties. Tired of drawing Batman, he was moved on to bat-men. I thought it was funny. Written by Scott Snyder Illustrated by Dustin Nguyen Hot on the heels of last year’s award-winning AMERICAN VAMPIRE miniseries, […]

Review: Grifter #10

By | Jun 14, 2012 | Reviews

More like Rob LOLfeld, amiright? This was the basic reaction when readers, myself included, heard that Rob Liefeld was taking over the creative control of three (3) DCnU books come May: “The Savage Hawkman,” “Deathstroke,” and “Grifter.” Many (again, myself included), predicted imminent cancellation, a retraction saying it was a joke, or an early Mayan […]

Brian Wood Joins The X-Men [Review]

By | Jun 14, 2012 | Reviews

I was going to call this article “Two X-Men, One Wood,” but somehow that seemed like a bad idea. So this week sees two different X-Men books in two different universes get one single author: Mr. Brian Wood. Author of such MC favorites as “DMZ,” “Local” and “Channel Zero” (to name a few), this week […]

Review: Planetoid #1

By | Jun 14, 2012 | Reviews

Science fiction was my first true love, and so I always try to pick up any new sci-fi comic that hits the stands. Of course, it doesn’t always happen — unfortunately, superhero comics get all the press, but that’s a topic that doesn’t belong in a review. While I hadn’t heard of “Planetoid” before it […]

Advance Review: The Massive #1

By | Jun 11, 2012 | Reviews

A few months after the conclusion of “DMZ,” the first issue of Brian Wood’s newest creator-owned ongoing comes out this week from Dark Horse Comics. “DMZ” was a big hit among the Multiversity Comics writers — will “The Massive” receive the same massive enormous praise? Written by Brian Wood Illustrated by Kristian Donaldson In a […]

Review: Night Force #4

By | Jun 8, 2012 | Reviews

It’s hard to get mad at DC for trying to keep its living legends happy. Guys like Neal Adams, Marv Wolfman, George Perez, and Len Wein continue to do work for the company they helped build, and for their part, DC tries to throw them a bone here and there, usually in the form of […]

Review: Dial H #2

By | Jun 8, 2012 | Reviews

Most reviews of “Dial Hero” #1 made it out to be reminiscent of the Vertigo comics of the late 80’s and early 90’s. In fact, that is why I, as a reader rather than a critic, picked it up in the first place — that era is, as the kids say, “my jam.” After reading […]

Review: Extermination #1 [with Preview]

By | Jun 8, 2012 | Reviews

“Irredeemable,” BOOM! Studio’s hot-selling superhero pastiche, is over. It’s ending leaves a bit of a void in many pulls for a dark super-title which plays off some familiar tropes in a new and decidedly dark way, finding many fans wondering where they’re going to get their next fix from. Well, ladies and gentlemen, do I […]

Review: Dark Avengers #175

By | Jun 8, 2012 | Reviews

The band remains the same but the song title changes as we move from “Thunderbolts” to “Dark Avengers.” But what does that mean? Is nothing ever going to be the same? Has “AvX” fallout begun? Is it just a marketing gimmick? Is up now down? Let’s figure it out. Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by […]

Double Shot Review: Swamp Thing #10/Animal Man #10

By | Jun 7, 2012 | Reviews

There’s something rotten in the state of…wherever Swamp Thing and Animal Man are at this point! Puns aside, the two franchises are kicking it up a notch in preparation for their upcoming crossover. The stakes have certainly been raised, with both characters at their most vulnerable. But where have we found ourselves this week? Let’s […]

Review: Secret #2

By | Jun 7, 2012 | Reviews

The Internet is so abuzz regarding Jonathan Hickman’s “Manhattan Projects” that it seems to have forgotten “Secret” already, even though it is only moving into its second issue this week. I, on the other hand, was greatly impressed by the debut of “Secret,” and awaited the second issue with bated breath. Written by Jonathan Hickman […]
