“Fantastic Four” #8

By | Mar 29, 2019 | Reviews

With “Fantastic Four” #8, Dan Slott continues his own take on the classic confrontation of the first family and Doctor Doom, with Galactus thrown in for good measure. However, the issue is a jarring combination of styles that fall short on delivering something unique and a coherent whole. Written by Dan Slott Illustrated by Aaron […]

“Heroes in Crisis” #7

By | Mar 28, 2019 | Reviews

Here’s a ‘Flash fact’ for you. For about two decades, Wally West was the definitive Scarlet Speedster. He took on the mantle in the late ’80s after Barry Allen’s untimely passing. Unlike several other legacies (Amadeus Cho, Sam Wilson, Dick Grayson, etc.), the change actually stuck. He was a worthy successor and ‘Uncle Barry’ was […]

“Black Hammer: Age of Doom” #9

By | Mar 28, 2019 | Reviews

The world of “Black Hammer” has gone through many changes since the series began. Few comic books would destroy everything readers thought they knew in service of creating an original story, but Jeff Lemire’s love letter to Golden Age sci-fi and superhero tales is no ordinary series.

“Sabrina The Teenage Witch” #1

By | Mar 28, 2019 | Reviews

Sabrina is an Archie Comics character with a fairly well-storied modern history. From her excellent mid-’90s TV series to her recent well-received solo comic, and even her  . . . interesting Netflix revival, she’s considered one of the breakout stars of the decades-old publisher. Can Kelly Thompson, Veronica, and Andy Fish and Jack Morelli do […]

“Secret Avengers: Let’s Have A Problem”

By | Mar 27, 2019 | Reviews

In the years leading up to Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic’s “Secret Wars,” Marvel had plenty of Avengers books that fans could dip their toes into. There seemed like there was an “Avengers” book for every facet of the Marvel Universe. “Young Avengers” focused on some of the younger Marvel characters. “Uncanny Avengers” had a […]

The “Godfather of Soul” and “The Hardest Working Man in Show Business” gets the graphic novel biography treatment, but it doesn’t feel like the full story.

Shazam!

By | Mar 25, 2019 | Movies, Reviews

In this modern sea of superhero content, it is a little surprising that one as historically important (both in terms of comics and the superhero as a multimedia figure) as the original Captain Marvel, now known as Shazam, hadn’t received the big screen treatment again, until now. Even before Man of Steel it wasn’t like […]

“Sparrowhawk” #5

By | Mar 22, 2019 | Reviews

I hated the ending of Man of Steel. Hated. It. The funny thing is, I enjoyed most of the film. Man of Steel has high stakes, epic action sequences, a solid Superman in Henry Cavill and a compelling villain in Michael Shannon’s Zod. None of that matters though, because it also has Kal-El snapping Zod’s […]

At first I wasn’t blown away by “Spider-Man: Life Story” #1. It’s an undeniably good comic, created by a journeyman veteran and a recent superstar.
