Review: Age of Ultron #1

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 7, 2013 | Reviews

Just last week, another Brian Bendis-penned introductory issue (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) was released by Marvel and some, including yours truly, felt it was an unnecessary issue, especially in the wake of Marvel’s 2012 “Point One” issue, which featured a truncated version of the same story. However, that story had a lot of charm, heartbreak, […]

Mignolaversity: Hellboy in Hell #4 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Mar 6, 2013 | Reviews

The first arc is wrapping up, and we are still trying to wrap our heads around what exactly Mike Mignola’s version of Hell is – what we do know is that this is some high quality comic booking! Written and Illustrated by Mike Mignola After a bizarre family reunion, Hellboy can barely process the new […]

Review: FF #4

By Zach Wilkerson | Mar 1, 2013 | Reviews

It’s a few weeks late for Valentine’s Day, but love is in the air in “FF” #4. That is, unless Bentley 23 and the Moloids (what a great band name!) have a say in the matter. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Mike Allred • It’s Valentine’s Day at the Baxter Building! So why does […]

Review: Witch Doctor, Mal Practice #4

By Michelle White | Mar 1, 2013 | Reviews

When we last checked in with Dr. Morrow, he was assuring us all – as well as his nemesis – that there is no cure for his necrotic and very Romanian affliction. But now it looks like he’s got an even more pressing (and… astral?) illness to deal with, and it’s going to take much […]

Review: Young Avengers #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Mar 1, 2013 | Reviews

“Young Avengers” #2, even more than the first issue, paints the Gillen-McKelvie joint as a modern book for the modern comic book reader. This seems obvious, but if you’re generally in to what that duo does with comics, then there’s nothing about this book you won’t like. Written by Kieron Gillen Illustrated by Jamie McKelvie […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Dead to Rights” [Review]

By James Johnston | Feb 28, 2013 | Reviews

1.) Wow That episode of Arrow was really good. Not just good for Arrow, like pretty damn fine television. Geoff Johns wrote this episode wrote this episode and it really shows through in how this is one of the few episodes that focuses on rather m undane domestic issues and just has a balls-ton of […]

Review: Doc Unknown

By Michelle White | Feb 28, 2013 | Reviews

Review: Guardians of the Galaxy #0.1

Review: Five Weapons #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Feb 28, 2013 | Reviews

Back in November, writer/artist Jimmie Robinson started dropping teasers for his latest miniseries, each built around a character and a weapon. The teaser images were stylish, effective and definitely not an approach that you often see for a 5-issue miniseries. But it was worth all that hype, because in a word, “Five Weapons” is terrific. […]

Review: Uncanny Skullkickers #1

By Walt Richardson | Feb 28, 2013 | Reviews

After a bit of a break, the best fantasy/comedy comic on the shelves is back. Does its shiny new #1 give it a breathe of fresh life, though, or hamper it? Better hope it’s the former, because there are a few more #1s to come! Written by Jim Zub Illustrated by Edwin Huang and Misty […]

In the midst of all this ‘Night of the Owls’ and ‘Death of the Family’ hullabaloo, Grant Morrison has been quietly and continually writing the best Batman book on the stands. While Snyder’s latest opus was found wanting, the latest issue of “Batman Incorporated” comes out of left field and throws a brutal game changing […]

Review: Justice League of America’s Vibe #1

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 22, 2013 | Reviews

DC seems to think that the best way to popularize characters previously considered lame is to just point out how lame they are. Let’s call this the Aquaman Axiom. The AA is something I never quite understood, nor do I want to spend too much time psychoanalyzing DC’s braintrust, but I get the general idea […]

Review: Kill Shakespeare: The Tide of Blood #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Feb 22, 2013 | Reviews

“Kill Shakespeare” takes a delightfully unique and easy-to-swallow premise and does it one better by bothering to build a gripping story around it. This isn’t simply a case of “what if all of Shakespeare’s characters existed and interacted?” This is a whole world worth getting into. Written by Conor McCreery & Anthony Del Col Illustrated […]
