“Pinball: A Graphic History of the Silver Ball”

By | Sep 2, 2022 | Reviews

Pinball machines have been ubiquitous in bars, rumpus rooms, and arcades for my entire life. Wile I’ve often enjoyed playing pinball, having even gone out with the express purpose of playing pinball, I had never really considered neither the complexity nor the history of the game. “Pinball: A Graphic History of the Silver Ball” challenges […]

Some Kind of Suicide Squad: The Suicide Squad

By | Aug 28, 2022 | Reviews

If there’s one thing that is clear about watching Suicide Squad back-to-back with The Suicide Squad, the latter certainly feels like a James Gunn movie. Not to get side tracked into auteur theory, film is a complex and collaborative medium with hundreds of decesions made at all levels, but the biggest issue I have wiith […]

“A-Next” #12

By | Aug 27, 2022 | Reviews

The late nineties of superhero comics have always been such a fascinating wild west to me. I know so little about this period that is building off the industry’s most significant recession. With so few eyes drawn to it, it’s ripe for uncovering fascinating hidden gems or unreadable stinkers. This year I’ve dug up the […]

“Batman” #606-607

By | Aug 26, 2022 | Reviews

‘Fugitive’ is technically over but don’t tell “Batman” that. It still needs to spend two more issues dealing with the aftermath that really should have been happening in the pages of “Batgirl.” It’s also the most Geoff Johns-iest of Geoff Johns’ comics I’ve ever read.

“End after End” #1

By | Aug 26, 2022 | Reviews

It used to be that the American comic book industry was all about superheroes and dominated by the juggernauts of DC and Marvel. Sure, there was the underground comix industry of the 60’s and 70’s and there had been companies like EC Comics in the early days, but thanks to some ugly social and legal […]

“Damage Control” #1

By | Aug 26, 2022 | Reviews

Comics are a unique medium. It can be tough to transition from writing books or movies into a story told in static panels. It’s also tough to re-launch an old superhero series. Do you make it a nostalgic romp? Do you create an entirely new pitch? How do you balance old and new readers? “Damage […]

“Squadron Supreme” #12

By | Aug 25, 2022 | Reviews

We’ve reached the last issue. And judging from the words “CIVIL WAR” emblazoned over the cover, things are about to go down. The foundations have been cracking since issue #1, but by now there’s major structural damage. The Squadron is deeply fractured, with its leader wielding almost limitless power as his insecurities eat him alive. […]
