Review: Wonder Woman #20

By Zach Wilkerson | May 17, 2013 | Reviews

Though Wonder Woman managed to save Zola’s baby from War and Hermes, she’s not out of trouble yet. The gods of Olympus are ready to make their play and the First Born remains a threat lurking in the shadows. If one was to ever compare “Wonder Woman” to Game of Thrones, now would be the […]

By Michelle White | May 16, 2013 | Reviews

When Richard Corben embarks on a two-issue adaptation of a Poe story, you know it’s at least going to be interesting, and at most going to be fascinating.

By Matthew Meylikhov | May 13, 2013 | Reviews

Before we even start the review, lets start with an honest statement: if Matt Kindt puts out a new book written and illustrated by Matt Kindt, you need to buy it. No questions need to be asked, no reasons should be given. You need it. But, if you want some validation, allow me to give […]

Review: Superboy #20

By Zach Wilkerson | May 10, 2013 | Reviews

On paper, giving the New 52 version of Superboy to the man behind the “Luther Strode” series is a fantastic idea. DC seems set on making this incarnation of the Boy of Steel grittier, with a heaping helping of violence (hence the bloody “S” crest on the cover). Unfortunately, very little of Justin Jordan’s voice […]

Review: Justice League of America #3

By Vince Ostrowski | May 10, 2013 | Reviews

With “Justice League of America”, Geoff Johns has been looking to give some B-level heroes a chance to shine and a title that can sell well with them in it. How much the book has succeeded thus far depends on how tired you are of superheroes going at each others throats rather than the bad […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “The Darkness on the Edge of Town” [Review]

By James Johnston | May 9, 2013 | Reviews

Spoilers below! 1.) Plot’s really moving forward! Arrow’s always been a fairly action-heavy show but, man, this episode really picked up the pacing.
