Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | May 9, 2011 | Columns

It’s another week and another set of covers. I apologize that this week is a little late, but I was rather busy on Mother’s Day. Hope all the Mothers out there had a good one, and I hope that all of you with Mothers (whether biological or just in influence) took time out of your days […]

The Weekend Week In Review (5/7/2011)

By Walt Richardson | May 7, 2011 | Columns

Want to keep up with the ever-advancing continuity porn of the DC and Marvel universes, but simply don’t have the time or money to buy every ongoing? We’re here to help. Our newest column, the Weekend Week In Review, gives you a (very) brief synopsis of what happened in a select few of DC and […]

Friday Recommendation: Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing

By Walt Richardson | May 6, 2011 | Columns

To continue beating a dead horse, a lot of people have been irritated at the changes Geoff Johns brought to Swamp Thing in the pages of Brightest Day. Newer readers, however, have been asking the question “who cares?” I’ll tell you who: almost anyone who has read Alan Moore’s run on Saga of the Swamp […]

Crossed-Out Crossovers Friday Special: Blood and Thunder

By Patrick Tobin | May 6, 2011 | Columns

Just in time for both the Thor movie and the currently Norse-heavy Fear Itself, we take a look back at one of the relatively few major crossovers in Thor’s history. As shocking as it might seem that Thor has never really had that many Marvel-wide events focused on him, it might be moreso that the […]

Fund It! – Brian Wood’s Wildstorm

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 5, 2011 | Columns

This Fund It! will be shorter than usual, because to be truthful the work has been done for us. It’s a rare occurence that we are so lucky as to hear of a probable pitch as opposed to writing our own, but sometimes you hear of a proposed pitch that grips your ears enough to […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (5/4/2011)

By Walt Richardson | May 4, 2011 | Columns

This week we have the latest in Marvel’s summer event, the latest ongoing by two massive names in the industry, a few great creator-owned series, a few over-sized (and thus pricey) issues, and a few other goodies. What made the cut on our personal lists? What didn’t? Follow the jump to find out! Walt’s Picks: […]

This Month in Comics: April 2011

By Gilbert Short | May 3, 2011 | Columns

Comic from letsbefriendsagain.com This month was almost impossible. While I had some rather obvious choices in mind for worst books this month, there were so many GOOD comics it was very difficult to choose books definitively for the best spots. After much thought, I finally picked what they could be, and the results are behind […]

Burpee’s Got You Covered!

By Brandon Burpee | May 1, 2011 | Columns

Ok, I know. It’s been awhile since one of these has seen the light of day. It’s been an incredibly busy month for me with baby appointments and my wife finishing her Masters degree. Now things have slowed down and I have some relative down time. So to make up for my absence I am […]

Friday Recommendation: Gotham Central

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 29, 2011 | Columns

On occasion, I buy whole series of books without reading them. You might be thinking, “What? Why? That’s a lot of money on an admittedly huge gamble.” You’re 100% right – it absolutely is. You see, I’m easily suckered into the glitz and glamour of things like “Deluxe Edition” this or “Absolute” that. If you’re […]

Fund It!: The "Return" of John Constantine

By Walt Richardson | Apr 28, 2011 | Columns

So it appears that everyone’s favorite magician, John Constantine, is back. Well, he’s never really been gone, but in recent years Constantine’s involvement with the DC Universe has been very, very limited. Now, though, it appears that the Laughing Magician will soon be making his return to the world of brightly-colored capes and tights – […]

Crossed-Out Crossovers: Fire From Heaven

By Patrick Tobin | Apr 27, 2011 | Columns

Late again — becoming a trend whenever I get to Image stuff. You know, though, I tried, for this one. I really tried. It was all supposed to be so simple. A big crossover of the WildStorm universe’s properties, pre-DC. Alan Moore and Warren Ellis scripts. Some of their key artists, too: Jim Lee. J. […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (4/27/2011)

By Walt Richardson | Apr 27, 2011 | Columns

I feel like I say this every week, but we have a big, big week ahead of us. I guess despite how much I may complain about certain things in the industry, it’s a good time to be a fan of comics. Don’t tell anyone I said that. Follow the cut for this week’s lists! […]

The Short Report: Shooting The Man of Tomorrow Through Yesterday’s Lens

By Gilbert Short | Apr 25, 2011 | Columns

Today on The Short Report, we examine some of the news that came from the casting of the new Superman movie, Man of Steel. Namely, Michael Shannon cast as General Zod. The title may be a bit telling as to what I thought of it, but check my thoughts behind the cut! A couple weeks […]

Friday Recommendation: Hewligan’s Haircut

By Patrick Tobin | Apr 22, 2011 | Columns

Everyone else already took the big-name good ones, so let’s jaunt over to the UK and poke into a dark day-glo corner of things. After the jump, that is — we can’t get ahead of ourselves. I’ve only fleetingly kept up on 2000 AD the past couple of years, but man, that book’s history is […]

Crossed-Out Crossovers: Suicide Run

By Patrick Tobin | Apr 20, 2011 | Columns

For something like a dozen years now, the go-to interpretation of the Punisher has belonged to Garth Ennis. He’s a solitary figure, driven in his quest beyond any ability to relate to another functional human being ever again. But our view has always been a myopic one, for the most part; we see the world […]

Fund It! – Now That’s A Concept (Part 3)

By Joshua Mocle | Apr 20, 2011 | Columns

Alright you voracious viewers you, the third and final part of our latest Fund It triple-threat is here! I’m gonna keep up the trend of “extreme variety” that Walt and Matt put forth before me and tackle three wildly different releases from three distinct artists: Mastodon’s Crack the Skye, HÃ¼sker DÃ¼’s Zen Arcade and the […]

Soliciting Burpee: DC’s July 2011 Solicitations

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 20, 2011 | Columns

My name is not Brandon Burpee. For this, I apologize. Some of you may know me, but for those who don’t, my name is Matthew Meylikhov. I write for this site (every now and then). That being said, this is ostensibly Burpee’s article, and I wouldn’t take that away from him. However, I am helping […]

SPECULATION CENTRAL: Did We Figure Out The End Of War of the Green Lanterns?

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 20, 2011 | Columns

Right now, DC is currently publishing a “mega blockbuster event” called the War Of The Green Lanterns. In it, the three Green Lantern titles – Corps, Emerald Warriors, and GL regular – are all crossing over as Krona has inserted the Yellow entity Parallax back into the main green lantern on Oa and everyone is […]

Comics Should Be Cheap! (4/20/2011)

By Walt Richardson | Apr 20, 2011 | Columns

Today’s picks are not as “obvious” as last week, leading to a lot of conflicting choices. Still, it’s not a matter of “well, I guess you could get this”; rather, everyone’s choices are — as far as I can tell — good choices. It’s just a matter of personal preference. Follow the cut for some […]

MC Countdown: Top 5 Webcomics

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 19, 2011 | Columns

There was a time when I really was not a fan of webcomics. I read an excessive amount of comics on a weekly basis – do I really need another list of things to make sure I remember to keep up with? Even if they’re free? Besides, I like being able to sit and read […]

Soliciting Burpee: Marvel’s 2011 2011 Solicitations

By Brandon Burpee | Apr 18, 2011 | Columns

We’re back for another month of solicitation love. This time when I say we, I actually mean WE and not just me, myself and the voice in my head. I’ll be handling Marvel’s offerings this month and Matt will be conquering DC’s. Be sure to look forward to those tomorrow! So what’s out there in […]
