By Brian Salvatore | May 18, 2012 | Reviews

The third arc of “DC Universe Presents” beings here with a kidnapping, a serial killer, an FBI agent and a locked up murderer.

Advance Review: Resident Alien #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 18, 2012 | Reviews

I’ve been singing the praises of “Resident Alien” and its “Dark Horse Presents” debut for a while now, but after a bit of a wait the first actual issues worth of content is coming out on stands next week. Time for me to put my money where my mouth is in a spoiler-free look at […]

Wonder Woman #9 Cover

Review: Wonder Woman #9

By Walt Richardson | May 18, 2012 | Reviews

Despite being part of DC’s Trinity, Wonder Woman has often gotten the short end of the stick. Brian Azzarello is the newest creator attempting to rectify this, not only bringing Diana herself, but the Greek gods of old as well, into the modern world. So far, his run has been earning both high praise and […]

Review: Incredible Hulk #7.1

By Chad Bowers | May 17, 2012 | Reviews

Expectations are weird, aren’t they? They inevitably shape your opinions before you’ve even had a chance to take everything in, and they’re relentless about it. At least mine are when it comes to comic books. Expectations push and pull me in different directions, and usually do my monthly reading stack more harm than good. So […]

Review: Dancer #1

By Gilbert Short | May 17, 2012 | Reviews

Action/Espionage books have become quite a common genre in the world of comic books lately, thanks in no small part to Image Comics. Nathan Edmondson and Nic Klein both decided to throw another take on the genre with the cryptically titled “Dancer.” Let’s see how they fared. Written by Nathan Edmondson Illustrated by Nic Klein […]

Hardcore #1 Cover

Review: Hardcore #1

By Walt Richardson | May 17, 2012 | Reviews

As people are already guessing, Hardcore is sure to make a splash in the speculator market. The creator of one of the most profitable comic series in recent years plus, but not really, one of the Image founders would normally mean massive pre-orders, but a substantial delay means most comic stores will be severely under-ordered. […]

Advance Review: Grim Leaper #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 15, 2012 | Reviews

One of our favorite creators, Kurtis Wiebe, has a brand new comic out next week from Image called “Grim Leaper.” We’re sure you’ve heard a bit of it by now from previous coverage, but I suppose the only thing left to answer is — is it worth buying? Let’s discuss that today. Written by Kurtis […]

Once Upon A Time: The Little Not-Fables Show That Could [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 14, 2012 | Reviews

When Once Upon a Time debuted, I wound up rather pleasantly surprised with it all. Leaving me pleasantly optimistic on what looked like it could be excessively cheesy, Once quickly embraced itself and made for a compelling program about fairy tale characters living in the real world. As a site we didn’t keep up with reviewing the series like we […]

Five Thoughts on Game of Thrones’ “A Man Without Honor”

By David Harper | May 14, 2012 | Reviews

Last night’s episode was called “A Man Without Honor.” In Westeros? I can hardly believe that. Now, excuse me as I go and betray my faux brother and try to sleep with my sister like Theon did IN ONE EPISODE earlier this season. Instead of that, check out my five biggest thoughts from last night’s […]

Review: Deathstroke #9

By Brian Salvatore | May 11, 2012 | Reviews

In an issue with Lobo, self-destructing body armor, and a cemetery rigged with explosives, there is only one name you could reasonably expect to see on the cover; alone, monolithic, shining like a beacon. Like a lighthouse, helping ships pass through the foggy waters of common sense and feet to the other side, the side […]

Review: Higher Earth #1

By Gilbert Short | May 11, 2012 | Reviews

Sam Humphries seems to be all over the place nowadays, doesn’t he? The writer behind the surprise hit “Our Love is Real” has a new sci-fi tale that will span UNIVERSES, not just worlds. Let’s see if it’s worth the trip. Written by Sam Humphries Illustrated by Francesco Biagini Space is dead. Why conquer other […]

Avenging Spider-Man #7 Cover

Review: Avenging Spider-Man #7

By Walt Richardson | May 11, 2012 | Reviews

Some couples’ idea of a romantic date is dinner at a nice restaurant and the latest award-winning movie. The Immonens, on the other hand, make comics together whenever they have the chance. To each their own, I suppose (not to imply, of course, that they do not love fine dining and films as well). Written […]

Review: Takio #1

By Gilbert Short | May 10, 2012 | Reviews

Takio is back! Brian Michael Bendis, author of the Marvel Universe for the past few years, has come back to his all-ages title and brought Michael Avon Oeming back with him! Does it live up to the original Graphic Novel from last year? Written by Brian Michael Bendis Illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming Bursting from […]

Mystery in Space Cover by Mike Allred

Review: Mystery in Space #1

By Walt Richardson | May 10, 2012 | Reviews

The third of Vertigo’s one-shot anthologies, “Mystery in Space” primarily focuses on the kind of science fiction that the name implies: the kind with, you know, mysteries. Overall, though, the content is quite diverse, but does diverse necessarily mean good? Join me as I review each story in this 80-page monster through a paragraph each, […]

By David Harper | May 7, 2012 | Reviews

After this week, only four episodes remain and things are really rolling now. To look back on another great episode of Game of Thrones, this one titled “The Old Gods and the New,” I share five thoughts about all the happenings.

Thanks Joss: An Open Letter to the Director of Marvel’s “The Avengers” [Review]

By David Harper | May 4, 2012 | Reviews

Dear Joss, Thanks. Seriously. I’ve been a long time reader of “The Avengers,” boasting cherished runs on the book ranging from personal favorite Busiek and Perez, the Geoff Johns’ period, almost all of Brian Michael Bendis’ run, and a smattering of issues from people like Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, John Buscema, Neal Adams and many […]

Review: Exiled #1

By Gilbert Short | May 4, 2012 | Reviews

“Journey into Mystery” and “New Mutants,” two of Marvels best books, have joined together in a tale about traveling from dimension to dimensi–no, that’s not right. Ever since Fear Itself, these books have slowly been build toward each other in a much hyped, if not unconventional, crossover that pairs the Asgardians with Dani Moonstar and […]
