“Abbott” #3

By | Mar 30, 2018 | Reviews

Go ahead and take a look at my numeric score and realize this was probably the weakest issue of “Abbott” so far. I point this out because “Abbott” is an uncommonly good comic. It is unusual for a relative newcomer to the comics scene to come out of the gate so hot, but Saladin Ahmed’s […]

Mike Carey and Peter Gross, the same team behind “The Unwritten,” continue to expand the world around the Highest House, its denizens, history, and customs.

Pick of the Week: “Shadowman” #1

By | Mar 29, 2018 | Pick of the Week, Reviews

With the previous volume of “Shadowman” loosely redefining the character, Valiant Entertainment has another chance to bring back the hero and better establish him for the modern incarnation of Valiant. The publisher still utilizes Jack Boniface, the original hero of the series, as well as the rest of the core cast members from the initial […]

“Supreme: The Story of the Year”

By | Mar 27, 2018 | Reviews

There are few things that can be said about Alan Moore that haven’t been said somewhere else, and probably more eloquently than I can manage. Most of those words, though, have been written about his darker, deconstructionist works. “Watchmen” is undoubtedly a classic, tearing super heroes apart, showing the seams at which the super hero […]

Two years ago, Matt Kindt introduced readers to the the underwater world of Dept. H. and set the table for a claustrophobic Agatha Christie-inspired locked-room murder mystery.

“Weapon H” #1

By | Mar 23, 2018 | Reviews

When I first heard about the Hulkverine, I wasn’t overly shocked. The concept itself seems inevitable given the history of the two characters. But I’d passed it off for so long as just another Marvel throwaway concept within the pages of “Weapon X”. But now? Now Marvel are giving the creature it’s own comic, fit […]

A weekly “Avengers” series by a slew of creators could be exhausting, but ‘No Surrender’ has actually been a lot of fun. Instead of a bloated event with tons of crossovers, this series has been an epic smackdown worthy of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, and a fitting sendoff to this generation of Avengers. As we get […]
