Review: American Vampire #34

By Walt Richardson | Jan 4, 2013 | Reviews

“American Vampire” co-creator Scott Snyder has been very busy as DC’s newest golden boy, and the team has wisely decided to put the book on hold for the moment. This week marks the final issue for the time being — but does it go out with a… fang? I know, I said I’d stop with […]

Review: Ultimate Spider-Man #19

By Matthew Meylikhov | Jan 3, 2013 | Reviews

Welcome back, Sara Pichelli! Oh, how we have missed you on this book. Ignore any other insightful commentary I may make, because that’s all you really need to know. Spoiler: if you like Miles and you like Sara’s artwork, come on over to the Venom Show, folks. Written by Brian Michael Bendis Illustrated by Sara […]

Review: Harvest #5

By Michelle White | Jan 3, 2013 | Reviews

The last issue of Lieberman and Lorimer’s icy miniseries about the illicit organ trade is full of surprises — but they’re not all the good kind of surprises. A mixed bag of an issue, this isn’t the best way to cap things off, but the virtues that have made “Harvest” such a great read so […]

Review: Morbius – The Living Vampire #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Jan 3, 2013 | Reviews

A “Morbius, the Living Vampire” ongoing seems like an odd choice and a longshot for big sales, even with recent pop culture gone vampire-crazy. But Joe Keatinge is breaking into the world of mainstream comics one way or another and this issue might be proof enough that the man can get a lot out of […]

Review: New Avengers #1

By Walt Richardson | Jan 3, 2013 | Reviews

Hey, have I mentioned yet that I sort of predicted this series a year and change ago? Sure, I pitched it, if you can call it that, with J. H. Williams III, but the excellent Steve Epting was totally my second choice. Trust me! Written by Jonathan Hickman Illustrated by Steve Epting To prevent the […]

Mignolaverisity: Hellboy in Hell #2 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 2, 2013 | Reviews

Like a wheel without an axle, I am here without my compatriot David, who is traveling to the wilds of Texas for a post-Christmas vacation. But I am getting by, mainly because I have the comfort of an issue of “Hellboy in Hell” to keep me company on this cold winter’s morn. Below is a […]

Review: Amazing Spider-Man #700

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 28, 2012 | Reviews

This is it. The big moment you’ve all been waiting for. How does it all play out? As a note, spoilers are discussed as it is kind of impossible not to for something of this nature, but it’s no more than you couldn’t infer from just knowing what the arc is about in general. Written […]

Review: Mara #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Dec 27, 2012 | Reviews

What is Brian Wood, like a comics writing machine? He’s like some kind of ubiquitous comic rack-filling ninja, seemingly putting stuff out or announcing another project every week. And they’re usually pretty good. With revelatory work from Ming Doyle, “Mara” isn’t looking to be the exception either. Written by Brian Wood Illustrated by Ming Doyle […]

Review: Justice League #15 and Aquaman #15

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 27, 2012 | Reviews

‘Throne of Atlantis,’ a 5-part (with an epilogue) “Justice League”/”Aquaman” crossover, starts this week with opening salvos from both titles, and marking the debut issues of new artists to each book. Written by Geoff Johns Illustrated by Ivan Reis – Part 1 of “THRONE OF ATLANTIS,” crossing over with AQUAMAN! – Don’t miss the debut […]

Review: Nowhere Men #2

By Michelle White | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

The first issue of Nowhere Men got a solid 8.0 from us, establishing an interesting new universe in which a “Fab Four” group of scientists have gained international popularity… and notoriety. The second issue continues on similar lines in that there isn’t a whole lot of plot or thematic depth as of yet, but the […]

Review: Django Unchained #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

How do you adapt the titan (some would say diva) that is a Quentin Tarantino script? Well, turns out it might be impossible to do it completely right, but getting R.M. Guera and Jason Latour to draw it is a pretty good place to start. Based on a script by Quentin Tarantino Illustrated by R.M. […]

Review: FF #2

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

The gender reversed, multi-colored, still learning how exactly how to do this Fantastic Four face an old villain, new challenges, and try to understand a machine that goes “boop boop.” Be warned, spoilers live below. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by Mike Allred Ant-Man! She Hulk! Medusa! And, um — Ms. Thing? – How does […]

Review: Daredevil #21

By Walt Richardson | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

Last issue of “Daredevil,” the Spot’s return was revealed to be something… more. Do Mark Waid and Chris Samnee continue to surprise us with #21, or does this otherwise hyped book gain a spotty reputation with the arc’s conclusion? I know, that was bad and I apologize. Written by Mark Waid Illustrated by Chris Samnee […]

Review: Uncanny X-Force #35

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

Remarkable: it’s been two years since “Uncanny X-Force” originally launched in December 2010. Now December 2012 and 37 issues later (don’t forget those two Point Ones), we’re given one hell of a farewell show from Rick Remender and Phil Noto. Written by Rick Remender Illustrated by Phil Noto – FINAL EXTINCTION CONCLUDES AND SO DOES […]

Review: Hawkeye #6

By Zach Wilkerson | Dec 21, 2012 | Reviews

David Aja returns to “Hawkeye” for this Holiday tinged issue, the perfect gift for every Hawkguy and Hawkgal. Written by Matt Fraction Illustrated by David Aja – David Aja returns to the most critically acclaimed comic of 2012! – The Ace Archer Clint Barton faces DVR-MAGEDDON! It’s ironic that nearly every issue of “Hawkeye” to […]

Review: Wonder Woman #15

By Vince Ostrowski | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

Holy crap, guys and gals. The New Gods are in the New 52. And instead of being squandered or used carelessly, they get to be a part of what was already one of the most exciting series at DC Comics. Written by Brian Azzarello Illustrated by Cliff Chiang – Who is Orion – and what […]

Review: Avengers #2

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

The biggest Avengers team in recent memory, with one of the more exciting creative teams in recent memory, coming off one of the biggest movies of all time, in one of the most successful company re-brandings in recent history, takes center stage here. Written by Jonathan Hickman Illustrated by Jerome Opena The greatest heroes in […]

Review: Comeback #2

By Michelle White | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

So: “Comeback” #1 was slow and a bit talky, but enjoyable overall. “Comeback” #2 has the same good bones to it, but is a little talkier; the pace of the series seems to be getting a little slower as more details are added to the mix, rather than quicker. These are the early warning signs […]

Review: Happy #3

By Walt Richardson | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

Nothing “witty” I may say will be any zanier than this comic, so let’s cut to the review. Written by Grant Morrison Illustrated by Darick Robertson With a day left until Christmas, and time running out for Santa’s innocent victims, Happy the Horse learns what turned Nick Sax from golden cop to broken-down hitman. But […]

Review: JSA: Liberty Files – The Whistling Skull #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 20, 2012 | Reviews

It took a while to get to us and had a name change along the way, but B. Clay Moore and Tony Harris’ “Whistling Skull” is finally with us. All good things come to those who wait, right? Written by B. Clay Moore Illustrated by Tony Harris – A new series from acclaimed creators B. […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. 1948 #3 and B.P.R.D. #102 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 19, 2012 | Reviews

Either Christmas came early, or Hanukkah came late this year, because we are getting two issues of “B.P.R.D.” goodness this week. We have a lot to say, so let’s jump right in! Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi Illustrated by Max Fiumara Monsters are killing civilians in the Utah desert, leading Professor Bruttenholm to […]
