Review: Justice League #20

By Vince Ostrowski | May 24, 2013 | Reviews

The “Justice League” team is expanding outwards in a fun and exciting manner, but a few plotting snafus and an invitation to pre-Flashpoint comparisons cause some problems along the way.

Review: Uncannny Avengers #8AU

By Zach Wilkerson | May 24, 2013 | Reviews

Using the “Age of Ultron” universe as a fun distraction, Rick Remender and guest writer Gerry Duggan flesh out the childhoods of the Apocalypse Twins under their adoptive father, the villainous Kang. The result is an interesting interlude, with dubious implications for Remender’s ongoing story. http://multiversitystatic.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/2013/02/UncannyAvengers_8AU_Cover.jpg[t/image] Written by Rick Remender and Gerry Duggan Illustrated by […]

Review: Nowhere Men #5

By Alice W. Castle | May 23, 2013 | Reviews

Review: The Bounce #1

By Sam LeBas | May 23, 2013 | Reviews

Casey and Messina’s “The Bounce” #1 offers a new take on superhero comics and establishes a world where the unexpected is all that can be expected. This decidedly street-level high-flying adventure will leave you scratching your head, wondering how the world of cape comics has existed without a character like this for so long. Written […]

Review: Half Past Danger #1

By Michelle White | May 23, 2013 | Reviews

A six part miniseries, centering on World War II, featuring dinosaurs and a pulp aesthetic? There are a fair number of ways a book like that could go, but by all counts artist and debut writer Stephen Mooney has crafted an engaging opening chapter. Written and Illustrated by Stephen Mooney DAMES. DINOSAURS. DANGER. Summer, 1943, […]

Review: Green Lantern #20

By Zach Wilkerson | May 23, 2013 | Reviews

“In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night.” Surely you know how it goes by now. Geoff Johns, the man who, for better or worse, launched “Green Lantern” into a best-selling comic franchise, spawning merchandise, movies, and cartoons, brings his universe spanning epic to a close. Does his finale recapture the glory of ‘Sinestro Corps War,’ or […]

Review: Occupy Comics #1

By Vince Ostrowski | May 23, 2013 | Reviews

“Occupy Comics” plans to make itself an active participant in a movement that has taken many avenues to get its message out. Issue #1 is an interesting experiment in making comic books one of those avenues of expression, but it’s also ultimately a hodgepodge – the way that most anthology titles tend to be. Written […]

Mignolaversity: Lobster Johnson: Satan Smells a Rat [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | May 22, 2013 | Reviews

New Lobster Johnson? That’s good! It isn’t drawn by Tonci Zonjic. That’s bad! It is drawn by Kevin Nowlan. That’s good! It has less of a pulp feel than normal. That’s bad! It has a sci-fi feel to it. That’s good! Oh, just read our review already. Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi Illustrated […]

Five Thoughts on Doctor Who’s “The Name of the Doctor”

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 20, 2013 | Reviews

Ah, the season finale. Moffat comes in to mess with all Whovian heads and run away gleefully giggling like the twisted madman that he is. That’s what makes Moffat’s Who fun over Davies’; one told well constructed sci-fi stories that beautifully stretched over a season before paying off fully, and Moffat justt likes messing with […]

A Perilous Trek: A Spock-Styled Review of Star Trek Into Darkness

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 18, 2013 | Reviews

Star Trek Into Darkness is a difficult film to review. In watching it, I felt conflicted as two separate but connected halves of myself battled for dominance of opinion on it, neither one particularly sufficed by any mental concession I may have made. Pieces of a franchise will do that to someone who has any […]

Review: Batgirl #20

By Sam LeBas | May 17, 2013 | Reviews

In this issue of “Batgirl,” Barbara loses a fight with a doll, then goes home to get wasted before barging into her therapist’s office in tears. This, ladies and gentlemen, is our hero. Questionable creative choices and lackluster characterization drag this title down, making it difficult to get invested. Written by Gail Simone Illustrated by […]

Review: Helheim #3

By Michelle White | May 17, 2013 | Reviews

This Oni Press series about Vikings and the undead and demons and – most integrally – witches got off to a great start but lost a little momentum in the second issue. Happily, as Rikard the draugr continues on his bemused way, he has an unlikely encounter and learns about his situation, and this story […]
