Review: Manifest Destiny #1

By | Nov 14, 2013 | Reviews

As writer Chris Dingess notes in the afterword, this book is weird. It’s hella weird – although I don’t think you’d expect anything less from a story about Lewis and Clark tracking down monsters. But it’s interesting-weird, and a cracking good story at that, making this new ongoing from Skybound an exciting prospect. Written by […]

Review: Marvel Knights: X-Men #1

By | Nov 14, 2013 | Reviews

The revival of the Marvel Knights line came as a bit of a surprise, but definitely a welcome one. Marvel has lately been pushing the bounds with their creator-focused publishing and a series of miniseries with “indie” creators at the forefront is nothing to sniff at. And Brahm Revel writing and drawing an X-Men story? […]

Review: Rocket Girl #2

By | Nov 14, 2013 | Reviews

Brandon Montclare and Amy Reeder charmed the pants off of me last year with their “Halloween Eve” one-shot. I literally lost my pants. It was so quirky and delightful that it’s got a place in my rotation come every Halloween. But “Rocket Girl”? This is on another level. Written by Brandon Montclare Illustrated by Amy […]

By | Nov 13, 2013 | Reviews

In “Batman” #25, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo dive into the second act of their latest take on the definitive Batman origin.

Review: Captain America #13

Review: Batman: Black & White #3

By | Nov 8, 2013 | Reviews

With two issues under it’s belt, DC’s revival of “Batman: Black & White” has so far more than lived up to the lofty expectations set by it’s predecessor.
