Review: Time Warp #1

By | Mar 29, 2013 | Reviews

Although it is literally right there in the title, the fact that most of these stories deals with time travel in some sort of theoretical fashion was still a bit of a surprise for me. Maybe it shouldn’t have been, but oh well. At least the solicit doesn’t make a Rocky Horror Picture…ah, damn it. […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Salvation” [Review]

By | Mar 29, 2013 | Reviews

1.) So about that upswing from before the break… I mentioned a while back that Arrow was growing into a pretty exciting series and… well combined with last week’s mediocre run I believe that ship has sailed. Maybe it’s the contradictory writing or the subplots that bring Ollie’s relatively exciting segments to a screeching halt but this show can […]

Review: The Answer! #3

By | Mar 29, 2013 | Reviews

The first issue of this Dark Horse miniseries about a genius librarian and masked vigilante was clever and engaging, and the second issue kicked the kookiness up an extra notch.

Review: Five Weapons #2

By | Mar 28, 2013 | Reviews

So we kind of loved the first issue of this miniseries – but then, what’s not to love about a boarding-school story where there are kids learning to be assassins? It didn’t hurt that our hero, Tyler, was just about the classiest take on the non-violent smart kid ever. Written and Illustrated by Jimmie Robinson […]

Review: Uncanny Avengers #5

By | Mar 28, 2013 | Reviews

It would be hard pressed to find someone who was initially more down on the idea of “Uncanny Avengers” than yours truly. What seemed, at the time, to be a cash grab, has emerged into a solid, fun and, yes, delayed comic. This issue acts as an epilogue of sorts for the initial arc, drawn […]

Review: GI Joe #2

By | Mar 22, 2013 | Reviews

After reading issue #1, I was interested enough to check out a second issue of the new “GI Joe” ongoing, which was already something of a shock to my system. Would I be coming back for a third taste?

Review: Mystery Society Special 2013

By | Mar 22, 2013 | Reviews

2010’s miniseries “Mystery Society” was remarkable for a lot of things, from Steve Niles’ fun and inventive script to the smooth and lovely art from Fiona Staples. It’s about time this Gothic series about a myth-investigating duo and their madcap team revisited the shelves – but with a new artist and a scaled-down story, does […]
