Review: Animal Man #20

By Walt Richardson | May 2, 2013 | Reviews

The post-‘Rotworld’ wrap up is over. On to bigger and better things! Well, you can’t get much bigger than a war between the primal forces of life and death, but you can certainly get much better than the dismal state ‘Rotworld’ left Buddy in. Written by Jeff Lemire Illustrated by John Paul Leon and Timothy […]

Review: Ten Grand #1

By Brian Salvatore | May 2, 2013 | Reviews

The return of Joe’s Comics took a lot of folks by surprise, but many more expected the comics to be announced and either never come out, or come out far later than expected. However, promised in 2013 and arriving in 2013 is “Ten Grand” #1 – believe it or not, this shit is real. Written […]

Pick of the Week: Polarity #2

By Michelle White | May 2, 2013 | Reviews

The first issue of this miniseries from Say Anything frontman Max Bemis and “Forgetless” illustrator Jorge Coelho impressed us with its complexity and nuance, and seemed like the beginning of one unconventional superhero story. But is that really where this tale, set in the darkest corners of hipsterdom, is taking us? Written by Max Bemis […]

Ten Thoughts on Game of Thrones’ “Kissed by Fire”

By Matthew Meylikhov and David Harper | Apr 29, 2013 | Reviews

For the first five thoughts on this week’s episode of Game of Thrones, called “Kissed by Fire,” I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the show as a non-bookreader. Which, you know, is coming from the point of view that this stuff is always wicked awesome and that geez, it is really hard to keep track […]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 29, 2013 | Reviews

It’s Monday! There was a new Doctor Who on Saturday! Lets talk about it! 1. An Exploration of Mythology One recurring element of this season seems to be an increase in focus on the mythology of the Doctor, both as a character and as a being of legend, someone who has had a grandiose effect […]

Review: The End Times of Bram and Ben #4

By Michelle White | Apr 26, 2013 | Reviews

What do you call the end of a series about the apocalypse? Doubly apocalyptic? Anyway, things certainly do come to a head in this final issue of “The End Times of Bram and Ben”, and as in all good apocalypses, there are plenty of revelations along the way. Written by James Asmus and Jim Festante […]

Review: I, Vampire #19

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 26, 2013 | Reviews

“I, Vampire” has been an oddity for its entire existence as part of the New 52. Creatively stable, the book hasn’t tried too much to try and reinvent itself except, perhaps, to speed things up in the pace department. This issue, while wrapping up the series, still manages to feel almost new reader friendly, which […]

Review: Batman Incorporated #10

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 26, 2013 | Reviews

We’re coming up on the end of “Batman Incorporated,” and let me tell you: the shit is hitting the fan, folks. But, like, in the good way — not that the issue is shit. Just stuff is happening and — … oh, come on, just read the review. Written by Grant Morrison Illustrated by Chris […]

Review: Journey Into Mystery #651

By Alice W. Castle | Apr 26, 2013 | Reviews

When Kieron Gillen left “Journey Into Mystery”, having told the story he wanted to tell, and Kathryn Immonen took over as writer, a question hung over the title: would the series retain the quality it had before? Did Immonen have what it takes to follow such a universally beloved run? Written by Kathryn Immonen Illustrated […]

Review: Uncanny Avengers #7

By James Johnston | Apr 26, 2013 | Reviews

The debut of The Apocalypse Twins and some kissy kissy times. Be warned, minor spoilers are discussed if you’re not totally caught up! Written by Rick Remender Illustrated by Daniel Acuña • Enter The Apocalypse Twins! The beginning of the end begins with their arrival! • Why do they seek to anger The Celestials? What […]

Review: All-Star Western #19

By Zach Wilkerson | Apr 26, 2013 | Reviews

It’s the good, the bad, and the bwahaha as a surprise appearance by a certain fan favorite character, masquerading as the new sheriff in town, causes a whole lot of trouble for Mr. Hex. This review contains spoilers for the gatefold cover reveal Written by Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti Illustrated by Moritat and Staz […]

Review: FF #6

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 26, 2013 | Reviews

In the best way possible, “FF” can be compared to Seinfeld. It’s the Marvel Universe’s book about nothing. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Joe Quinones • Darla vs Yancy Street! ‘ NUFF SAID! In the last decade or so, comic books have leaned more and more toward long, decompressed story arcs. Instead of Spider-Man […]

Arrow Home Invasion 1

1.) Invasion of Privacy Alright so we’re back to Arrow after a two-week long hiatus! Last we left off, Arrow and Diggle both vowed to finally take down Deadshot after all! So this week we finally focus on… Ollie protecting a kid whose parents were murdered by another hitman… yeah ok. There is a good amount of […]

Review: Lost Vegas #2

By Michelle White | Apr 25, 2013 | Reviews

The first chapter of this unusual sci-fi miniseries from the creators behind “Dapper Men” was glorious, if maybe a little predictable. But there are some interesting developments this month – not to mention some fabulous art – and in terms of the overall direction of the series, this feels like the continuation of a winning […]

Review: Morning Glories #26

By Walt Richardson | Apr 25, 2013 | Reviews

Fun fact: this isn’t the first time I’ve chosen to review “Morning Glories” — this is just the first time I’ve stuck with it. What, it’s a hard book to review! With the second season starting, surely now would be an easier time to critically review the book without resorting to “it’s your thing or […]

Review: Five Weapons #3

By Zach Wilkerson | Apr 25, 2013 | Reviews

Jimmie Robinson’s “Five Weapons” continues to exemplify the best of the “boarding school” genre, while adding a delightfully violent twist. However, by following the same formulaic plot structure issue after issue, “Five Weapons” is beginning to lose some of its magic. Written and Illustrated by Jimmie Robinson At the annual school festival, Tyler is caught […]

Pick of the Week: Jupiter’s Legacy #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Apr 25, 2013 | Reviews

I can’t believe I’m about to use the word “restraint” several times in a review of the latest Mark Millar comic book. Written by Mark Millar Illustrated by Frank Quitely The comic-book event of 2013 finally arrives as superstar creators MARK MILLER and FRANK QUIETLY give us the superhero epic that all future comics will […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. Vampire #2 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Apr 24, 2013 | Reviews

After last month’s chilling opening, the Mignolaversity boys were very excited to dig back into “Vampire” – and yet, what we found inside was different than what we expected. Written by Mike Mignola, Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon Illustrated by Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon On the hunt for the vampire clan that cursed him, […]

Advance Review: Witch Doctor – Mal Practice #6

By Matthew Meylikhov | Apr 23, 2013 | Reviews

If Clive Barker sat down to co-write an episode of Doctor Who with Douglas Adams’ ghost, you’d get “Witch Doctor.” If that’s not enough to convince you to read the book, read on for a review. But, really, that should honestly be enough. And of course, since this is an advance review, there are no […]

G.I. JOEversity: G.I. Joe: The Cobra Files # 1 [Review]

By Chad Bowers | Apr 22, 2013 | Reviews

This month saw the release of “G.I. Joe: The Cobra Files” #1, the final title in IDW Publishing’s latest relaunch of their G.I. Joe comics (preceeded by “G.I. Joe” and “G.I. Joe: Special Missions”).
