Review: Animal Man #23

By | Aug 22, 2013 | Reviews

It’s been almost two years since DC relaunched their universe as the New 52 and it’s been almost two years since their Dark line allowed titles like “Animal Man” to exist in the DCU. Jeff Lemire launched “Animal Man” as both a look at the domestic life of a superhero-turned-actor and as a horror comic […]

Review: The Outliers #1

By | Aug 22, 2013 | Reviews

This week sees the digital release of a comic that’s garnered a fair bit of buzz in self-published print form, not least because it’s gorgeous and weird, one of those one-of-a-kinders that sets out to create the kind of taste it takes to appreciate it. If you’re going to read one delightfully oddball comic this […]

Review: Wonder Woman #23

By | Aug 22, 2013 | Reviews

If there remained any question otherwise, Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang prove once and for all that their ongoing saga of Diana of Themyscira is the very best that DC Comics has to offer.

Review: Avengers #18

By | Aug 22, 2013 | Reviews

“Infinity” is here in earnest and it seems to be garnering far better reviews than the last several Marvel and DC event comics. Jonathan Hickman has set up a visually-appealing “diagram” for how this event is supposed to work, citing “Avengers” and “New Avengers” as pretty integral, but how well does “Avengers” actually hold up […]

Pick of the Week: Superman Unchained #3

By | Aug 22, 2013 | Reviews

Superman is often hard to relate to, more admired than loved. He is a pillar of moral fortitude. He is exceeds the average human’s abilities in nearly every way.

Review: It Came! #1

By | Aug 16, 2013 | Reviews

Now that is a title that gets your attention. But even if this comic were called, I don’t know, “Watching Paint Dry, Vol. 2”, it wouldn’t change the fact that what’s going on within its pages is all kinds of loopy. First in a four-part miniseries from Titan Books, this is the sort of comic […]

Review: East Of West #5

By | Aug 16, 2013 | Reviews

Have you heard “The Message”? Because “The Message” is that, somehow, Jonathan Hickman has at least five books on the market from at least two different publishers and he’s still blowing other writers out of the water. With “East Of West”, he and Nick Dragotta look to blow the doors off of all other sci-fi […]

Review: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys #3

By | Aug 16, 2013 | Reviews

What is American youth? It’s Jack Kerouac, and the City Lights Bookstore. It’s Good Morning Vietnam, and hope for the outcasts. It’s nightmares and tight blue jeans; loud music and sweat and out past curfew. It’s the invention of the new normal, and the raw power of possibility, and the ache of realizing limits. It’s […]

Review: Halo: Initiation #1

By | Aug 16, 2013 | Reviews

The first “Halo” comic to come out of Dark Horse comes a little too late to capitalize on the Halo 4 hype. While the series covers an intriguing part of the series’ saga, it offers little for all but the most diehard fans. Written by Brian Reed Illustrated by Marco Castiello Halo—one of the largest […]

Review: Thor: God of Thunder #11

It’d probably be pretty obvious and obnoxious to call “Thor: God of Thunder” godly. Too bad. It’s godly.

Review: Lost Vegas #4

By | Aug 15, 2013 | Reviews

We’ve had a lot to say about this miniseries so far, not least because – for a miniseries especially – “Lost Vegas” feels like a lot of comic. This ambitious but unevenly executed conclusion takes us home on the same tack, delivering a lot of information but hooking us in more with the visuals and […]
