Review: Conan the Barbarian #11

By Walt Richardson | Dec 13, 2012 | Reviews

Conan has bested many things in mortal combat, but how can he triumph over death itself? Wood continues to examine what makes the barbarian tick in his latest issue. Anyone who labeled this book as “Northlanders” part two has probably reconsidered by now — and as someone who loves “Northlanders,” I don’t mean that in […]

Review: Cable and X-Force #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 13, 2012 | Reviews

The first of two new versions of X-Force, “Cable and X-Force” has hit the stands as one of two brand new Marvel NOW! #1’s to hit the stand, in what is part of something we dub HopelessFest, considering both comics are written by Dennis Hopeless. Oof. Talk about having a nervous Wednesday. And a poorly […]

Review: Change #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Dec 13, 2012 | Reviews

Do you want a comic that will expand your mind? Do you want a comic that uses the medium to its highest potential? Do you want a comic that you can crawl inside and get lost in? Yes? Then you want “Change” #1. Written by Ales Kot Illustrated by Morgan Jeske A foul-mouthed struggling screenwriter […]

Review: I Love Trouble #1

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 7, 2012 | Reviews

Let’s teleport past this introduction and get right into the meat of “I Love Trouble” #1. Written by Kel Symons Illustrated by Mark A. Robinson “DISAPPEARING ACT” Felicia Castillo, a New Orleans grifter, is on the run from mobsters in our premiere issue, when she discovers she possesses an unusual superpower in the middle of […]

Review: Archeologists of Shadows, Vol. 1

By Michelle White | Dec 7, 2012 | Reviews

What if everything and everybody around you were slowly being turned into machines? High concept doesn’t get much higher than this, but the first volume of “Archeologists of Shadows” from Septagon Studios delivers the goods in high style. Written by Lara Fuentes Illustrated by Patricio Clarey In a world where every living thing is forced […]

Review: The Legend of Luther Strode #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 7, 2012 | Reviews

I’m going to spoil my own review for you now: by the time it takes you to read it, you could’ve gone to the store and picked up “The Legend of Luther Strode” #1, and perhaps even the trade collection of “The Strange Talent of Luther Strode” if you don’t already have it. That’s probably […]

Review: Swamp Thing #15

By Zach Wilkerson | Dec 7, 2012 | Reviews

Swamp Thing goes to Gotham! For those who can’t get enough Batman by Scott Snyder in a given month, here’s an extra dose. (Between Rotworld and Death of the Family, Snyder really must have it out for the Dark Knight.) Written by Scott Snyder Illustrated by Marco Rudy – “ROTWORLD: THE GREEN KINGDOM” part three! […]

Review: Punisher: War Zone #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Dec 7, 2012 | Reviews

Greg Rucka’s 16 issue run on “The Punisher” can already be considered an all-time classic run in the character’s history. It was a sleekly-told and intimate character study of an honorable man who has the capacity to do brutal things. By the end, the principle characters grew and changed and readers came away with a […]

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

By James Johnston | Dec 6, 2012 | Reviews

This week on Arrow, The Huntress and Arrow teamed up for five minutes and then Merlyn cried about his problems for another 30. 1.) These exercise montages are getting ridiculous. Every episode begins with Ollie shirtlessly exercising in his warehouse while exposition happens. This week he did so while performing upside down shoulder lifts. I’m not even […]

Review: Storm Dogs #2

By Michelle White | Dec 6, 2012 | Reviews

Moving in a fairly unexpected direction, the second issue of the Hine and Braithwaite miniseries expands on the potential of the first issue, transforming a familiar story into something with surprising nuance and more than its fair share of intrigue. Written by David Hine Illustrated by Doug Braithwaite Jered’s story: The crime team’s forensic pathologist […]

Walking Dead at the Half: Still Shuffling Along [Review]

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 6, 2012 | Reviews

Last year, The Walking Dead received some less than friendly reviews from your average commentator, especially those that have read the books. The general consensus is that the amount of time spent on the farm caused the show to meander wildly, diving too far into the depth of the characters — or rather, the lack […]

Review: All-New X-Men #3

By Vince Ostrowski | Dec 6, 2012 | Reviews

Brian Michael Bendis’ first entrance into the ongoing exploits of the X-Men proper has been an emotionally satisfying and all-encompassing ride and issue #3, with a quibble or two to be had, isn’t really an exception. Careful, there is a very mild spoiler or two in here. Written by Brian Michael Bendis Illustrated by Stuart […]

Review: Avengers #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Dec 6, 2012 | Reviews

This is the worst “Avengers” comic I’ve ever read! Back in my day, Brian Bendis wrote all the “Avengers” books, and putting anyone else but him on any of these books is stupid and I don’t like it! …HA! Naw. I’m just kidding. Real review below. Written by Jonathan Hickman Illustrated by Jerome Opena The […]

Review: BlackAcre #1

By Walt Richardson | Dec 6, 2012 | Reviews

As claimed in this week’s Comics Should Be Cheap, I picked up this book solely because I dug Michael Avon Oeming’s cover. With the books that Image is putting out these days, though, that’s hardly a gamble. How does BlackAcre compare to the other books this publisher has been debuting? Written by Duffy Boudreau Illustrated […]

Review: Thunderbolts #1

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 6, 2012 | Reviews

The title of a book now, more than almost any other time in the history of comics, really means nothing. “Detective Comics” focuses on one detective, and the fact that he is a detective is the 9th most interesting thing about him; “New Avengers” is an Illuminati book, branded as an Avengers story to bring […]

Mignolaversity: Hellboy in Hell #1 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Dec 5, 2012 | Reviews

It has been almost 16 months since we last saw our pal Hellboy in “modern” times and, as always, absence has made our hearts grow fonder. But could anything live up the the expectations that we have built up in our heads for the Big Red Guy’s return? Written and Illustrated by Mike Mignola After […]

The Walking Dead Game: You Will Never Smile Again [Spoiler-Free Review]

By James Johnston | Dec 4, 2012 | Reviews

In recent years, Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead has come to define the modern Zombie revival. The reason the franchise has become so incredibly successful can be primarily found in its focus on the emotions and mental health of its characters, and not just showcasing gratuitous amounts of gore. Well, ok, there is a ridiculous amount of […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “Made to Suffer” [Review]

By David Harper | Dec 3, 2012 | Reviews

It’s the big midseason finale for The Walking Dead. Who died? Who survived? How often did Chris Hardwick annoy the hell out of us? Find out below. Also, things from the comic may be discussed, as well as things from the preview for the following episodes. 1. TYREEEEEESE! Once fan favorite from the comics Tyreese […]

Review: Witch Doctor: Mal Practice #1

By David Harper | Nov 30, 2012 | Reviews

Brandon Seifert and Lukas Ketner greatly impressed with the first six issues of Witch Doctor. Now they’re back with a new five-issue mini-series. Can they live up to the first one’s standards? Let us find out below. Written by Brandon Seifert Illustrated by Lukas Ketner The breakout medical horror hit from ROBERT KIRKMAN’s Skybound imprint […]

Review: Justice League Dark #14

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 30, 2012 | Reviews

From ridiculous concept to flawless execution, “Justice League Dark” has gone from a pass to the first thing I read from my pull. Issue #15 is a bridge issue, tying up loose ends from the first Jeff Lemire-penned arc, and setting the course for the next year or so of storylines, while wrapping that in […]

Review: Teen Titans #14

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 30, 2012 | Reviews

Scott Lobdell’s “Teen Titans” has gone from being fairly light book to stumbling through an uninteresting and angst-filled crossover in ‘The Culling’ and struggling to find its way after. Does its latest issue mark a turning point or is it further evidence for the mistakes that were made in some corners of DC Comics’ New […]
