A lot can change in 18 months. What started out as a single book, “Witchblade” turned into to two with the launch of “The Darkness” at […]

“A-Next” #5

By | Jul 9, 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 […]

“Absolution” #1

By | Jul 8, 2022 | Reviews

If I may confess: sometimes we don’t get the chance to scour upcoming comics listings to find the perfect thing to review. Sometimes, we choose what to review because the name sounds cool. In the case of “Absolution” #1, I did just that. I’m a sucker for one word comic titles and absolution is a […]

Thor: Love and Thunder

By | Jul 8, 2022 | Movies, Reviews

No spoilers, but there are mid-credits and post-credits scenes, which both do an important job of setting up a possible an inevitable sequel. Believe it or not, my biggest takeaway after watching Thor: Love and Thunder — director and Korg actor Taika Waititi’s sequel to his 2017 hit Thor: Ragnarok — is that Waititi’s favorite […]

“Squadron Supreme” #5

By | Jul 7, 2022 | Reviews

For all its heavy themes and complicated, nuanced discussion, there’s one consistent way to sum up “Squadron Supreme.” It’s that some superheroes made a terrible idea with the best of intentions. After all, building a superhero utopia on its own is a substantially awful idea. And it doesn’t stop there. The unrest and the anger […]

“Starhenge: Book One The Dragon and the Boar” #1

By | Jul 7, 2022 | Reviews

It’s always exciting to combine genres and see how they interact—seeing how the pirate story works in a magical sea or the western where you’re fighting off alien invaders. It allows you to test the scope of these stories, seeing how the visuals play with one another and elevate one another. Likewise, taking a legendary […]

“Mindset” #1

By | Jul 1, 2022 | Reviews

There are two things in this world that I love to read and talk about: comic books and history. I bring this up because one of the things I love about history is watching and analyzing how the world changes after some massive cultural shift happens. We’ve seen it during the Fall of Rome, the […]

“She-Hulk” #4

By | Jul 1, 2022 | Reviews

A “She-Hulk” series is can’t miss for me. She’s just one of my characters. Fortunately, Jennifer Walters is one of those characters who has been blessed with more good series than bad ones. That is all to say, I was an easy mark when they announced a “She-Hulk” series by novelist Rainbow Rowell. I’m also […]

“Batman” #582-584

By | Jul 1, 2022 | Reviews

I forgot that this was a time when Robin had his own book, lived in a boarding school, and was Tim Drake. I also forgot that there was once a time when Gotham was a real city and not the backdrop to whatever giant event Batman is stuck in this time. Or that Batman had been operating for a real number of years and not “5 and change forever?” I sure didn’t.

“The Third Person”

By | Jun 30, 2022 | Reviews

Winsome but harrowing. Fractured but elegant. Unforgettably distinct, yet somehow identifiable to the core. You grasp for words to describe “The Third Person” by Emma Grove (Drawn & Quarterly, 2022), a reading experience that will absorb you into its 900 pages in one sitting and linger with you for weeks and months. But what makes […]

Four issues into “Squadron Supreme,” and the series hasn’t shied away from difficult subject matter. The series opened with superheroes building a utopia. And the most recent issue tackled the topic of complete disarmament, and all the controversies that would be sure to follow. Somewhere in there was not-Batman chickening out on an assassination attempt […]
