Review: Strange Nation #1

By Michelle White | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

There’s nothing like a bit of inspired lunacy to get a series started off right, and that’s exactly what you get in “Strange Nation” #1. This first chapter of a four-issue miniseries published by Action Lab Comics is all set to premiere at Emerald City Comic-Con, and comes highly recommended from us. Seriously: gorilla-headed politicians […]

Pick of the Week: Batwoman #17

By Michelle White | Feb 21, 2013 | Reviews

It’s the end of an arc, and Batwoman and Wonder Woman’s rather Lovecraftian crossover adventure is coming to a close. There will be tentacles. Oh yes, there will be tentacles. Written by J.H. Williams III & W. Haden Blackman Illustrated by J.H. Williams III • It’s the massive conclusion to the current storyline as Batwoman […]

Mignolaversity: Baltimore: The Widow and the Tank [Review]

By Mark Tweedale | Feb 20, 2013 | Reviews

Rookie Mignolaversity writer Mark Tweedale returns today, to give us a look at, perhaps, the most unsung corner of the Mignolaverse, the domain of Lord Baltimore. Written by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden Illustrated by Ben Stenbeck Eisner Award–winning horror master Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden present this horrific double feature about a widow with […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. 1948 #5 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Feb 20, 2013 | Reviews

Wrapping up “1948,” setting up “Vampire,” is there anything this issue can’t do?

By David Harper and Brandon Burpee | Feb 20, 2013 | Reviews

We’re back with another week of Valiant (Re)visions, and this week is a doozy as we tackle two big books: X-O Manowar #10 and Harbinger #9. Our team of Brandon Burpee and David Harper teams up to dissect these book and look at what’s next for both of them as they approach big crossovers. Let […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Home” [Review]

By David Harper | Feb 18, 2013 | Reviews

Much to some people’s chagrin, I was not a fan of the midseason premiere of The Walking Dead. That’s going to happen, but I can’t help it: to me, it was not a good episode. Was the second episode a return to form? Find out below. Also, as a note, I’ll intermittently talk things from […]

Review: Avengers Assemble #12

By Vince Ostrowski | Feb 15, 2013 | Reviews

The 2nd arc of Kelly Sue DeConnick’s run on “Avengers Assemble” kicks off after a ridiculously fun and bounding 1st arc featuring the whole gang. If issue #12 is any indication, this run looks to darken things just a tad. Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick Illustrated by Pete Woods The sins of Black Widow’s past […]

Review: Creepy #11

By Michelle White | Feb 15, 2013 | Reviews

Arriving just in time for Valentine’s Day (even if this review isn’t), this edition of Dark Horse’s anthology series “Creepy” centers on horrific love stories. And why not? Between the images of arrows piercing hearts and the rhetoric about eternity and soul mates, there’s always been something faintly funereal about this much-beleaguered pseudo-holiday. But regardless […]

Review: Fantastic Four #4

By Zach Wilkerson | Feb 15, 2013 | Reviews

Matt Fraction delivers a Valentine’s appropriate issue of “Fantastic Four,” in which Reed reflects on his love for Sue. Also, Johnny plays a prank on Ben, and there’s some aliens or something. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Mark Bagley • An alien world, a thousand-year-old prophesy—is the Invisible Woman a long-awaited intergalactic messiah? Last […]

Review: Katana #1

By Walt Richardson | Feb 15, 2013 | Reviews

I really, really want to see Ann Nocenti succeed. Her “Daredevil” run is criminally underrated, and the “Longshot” miniseries is wonderful. Unfortunately, the last comic series she wrote was her recent “Green Arrow” run, and… well, I’m sure you heard about that. Will “Katana” put Nocenti back on the right track? Written by Ann Nocenti […]

Review: Batman #17

By Zach Wilkerson | Feb 14, 2013 | Reviews

Could there be any more hype for this issue? Does Snyder stick the landing and deliver the definitive Joker story for the ages, or does the arc fall flat under it’s own tremendous weight? Honestly, it’s a bit of both. Written by Scott Snyder Illustrated by Greg Capullo • This is it: The stunning conclusion […]

Review: Secret Avengers #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 14, 2013 | Reviews

The last (assumedly) Avengers relaunch is upon us, starring Nick Spencer and Luke Ross! Or is that Nick Fury? One of the Nicks. Written by Nick Spencer Illustrated by Luke Ross “The Most Dangerous Secrets We Have… Are The Ones We Keep From Ourselves.” The new Nick Fury leads a covert Avengers strike team including […]

Review: Planet of the Apes Special #1

By Walt Richardson | Feb 14, 2013 | Reviews

There were a host of movies, comics, and other extended media that expanded on the setting of 1968’s landmark science fiction film, Planet of the Apes, but since the release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes that continuity has been New 52’d. Spoilers: it was still Earth all along. Written by Daryl Gregory […]

Review: Change #3

By Michelle White | Feb 14, 2013 | Reviews

Change is scary. Change is polarizing. Change is certainly confusing. It makes sense that a comic named “Change” would be all these things as well. But it’s certainly been showing us a hell of a messy, postmodern, Lovecraftian time, and here, in its second-last issue, it’s all starting to make a skewed kind of sense. […]

Pick of the Week: Uncanny X-Men #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Feb 14, 2013 | Reviews

Brian Michael Bendis got his groove back by trading in the Avengers for the X-Men. “All-New X-Men” made a terrifically layered book out of a time-travel premise that could easily have come off as gimmicky. Now he relaunches “Uncanny X-Men” by promising to focus on Cyclops’ mutant crusade. By writing stories that feel important and […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. #104 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Feb 13, 2013 | Reviews

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “The Suicide King” [Review]

By David Harper | Feb 11, 2013 | Reviews

The Walking Dead is back for its “Winter Premiere” or whatever the hell they call it when you split seasons into two. Last night’s episode was called “The Suicide King” and it was…well, you’ll find out my thoughts below. As per usual, comic related business may be discussed, as this is a review told from […]

Review: Fearless Defenders #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Feb 8, 2013 | Reviews
