“War of the Realms” #6

By | Jun 28, 2019 | Reviews

You didn’t come to a comic book website and click on a review of a major superhero crossover event because you aren’t a fan. Being a fan of the comic book medium and the superhero genre makes you familiar with certain modes of storytelling. Good versus evil. Triumph over impossible odds. The illusion of change. […]

“Transformers/Ghostbusters” #1

By | Jun 27, 2019 | Reviews

George Orwell was a few years early when predicting at what point the world would succumb to a nightmarish Big Brother state. Instead, 1984 brought with it the dawn of two iconic sci-fi franchises: Transformers and Ghostbusters. Thirty-five years later, a different kind of nightmare was born. Written by Erik Burnham Illustrated by Dan Schoening Colored by […]

“Marilyn Manor” #1

By | Jun 27, 2019 | Reviews

Travel back in time to the 80s with me. A time of excess, a time when video killed the radio star, a time when the country pretended to be good, all the while sowing the seeds for chaos and ruin. Travel to “Marilyn Manor,” an 80s piece for which the period is a setting, rather than a nostalgic honey pot, for which I am eternally grateful.

“Canto” #1

By | Jun 27, 2019 | Reviews

Traditional fantasy is surprisingly something of a niche in the modern comics market, yet it seems to be making something of a resurgence in the public eye with titles like “Conan the Barbarian” going big at Marvel. Which is why I’m drawn to “Canto” #1. With writer David M. Booher, who brings a Tim Burton-esque […]

Pick of the Week: “Action Comics” #1012

By | Jun 27, 2019 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

After the compressed nature of “Event Leviathan” #1, has author Brian Michael Bendis already lost his focus with the event? The disappointing debut chapter recapped information and barely pushed the series forward. The most recent installments of “Action Comics” did a great job showing Loise Lane and Clark Kent investigate Leviathan. Bendis steered the title […]

“Fushigi Yûgi: Genbu Kaiden” – Volume 2

By | Jun 25, 2019 | Reviews

Fushigi Yûgi: Genbo Kaiden Volume Two continues with Takiko’s journey to find the seven celestial warriors, each one with a different power. This straightforward quest format isn’t something I see in American comics often. I don’t know if it’s common in manga, but I do remember (and loved) it in Ninja Scroll. This volume’s goal […]

“X-Factor” #25-38

By | Jun 24, 2019 | Reviews

Welcome back to our ongoing coverage of Peter David’s “X-Factor.” There’s a lot of investigative mutant goodness I’d like to get into, but this is an “X-Men” book, and certain things come with the territory. One of those things is participating in big ‘ol crossovers, and that’s exactly what the next three issues are. “X-Factor” […]

“Invisible Kingdom” #4

By | Jun 21, 2019 | Reviews

At its core, the idea of religious faith is a pretty simple concept. You follow the rules set down by a vast, unknowable deity and/or deities and you’re rewarded with a pleasant afterlife when you die. Unfortunately, the real world has a nasty habit of making things a little more complicated than they need to […]
