Review: Bedlam #2

By Michelle White | Nov 30, 2012 | Reviews

This highly-anticipated series has already turned some heads — and some stomachs — with its first issue, which was, for one, enormous, for two, unconventional, and for three, intricate and quite disturbing. This second issue follows a similar non-linear timeline but reads a little more smoothly as we become more in step with Fillmore’s daily […]

Review: Chew #30

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 30, 2012 | Reviews

Whenever people who aren’t really into comics ask me for an easy recommendation, “Chew” is always a go-to pick. It’s a fun, light-hearted read full of great comedic timing and a wild premise, and it even got me to go out and buy a beets just to see what the fuss was all about. Yes, […]

Review: All New X-Men #2

By Zach Wilkerson | Nov 30, 2012 | Reviews

How far would you go to save one of your oldest friends? What would you do if you could talk with your future self? What if that future self has gone against everything you believe in, crossing lines you never dreamed you would cross? All-New X-Men #2 is ready to do some soul searching with […]

Review: Fatale #10

By Walt Richardson | Nov 30, 2012 | Reviews

The creators of the best miniseries of 2011 — seriously, I cannot stress how amazing ‘Last of the Innocent’ is — reach the conclusion of their new ongoing’s second arc. Some of the great debut comics of the year have faded into the dark as they progress; is “Fatale” doomed to the same fate? Written […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Muse of Fire” [Review]

By James Johnston | Nov 29, 2012 | Reviews

This week on Arrow: Helena Bertinelli, the Huntress, makes her debut and Merlyn experiences some first world problems. Spoilers ahead! 1.) Ollie is such a jerk. In this week’s episode, Ollie’s mom gets mowed down by a mysterious gunman… or woman… or Huntress. It’s the Huntress. Anyway, Ollie’s first reaction isn’t to automatically run to […]

Review: Phantom Lady #4

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 29, 2012 | Reviews

The second miniseries of the New 52 to focus on a once and future Freedom Fighter, “Phantom Lady” (titled on the cover, but not in official literature, as “Phantom Lady and Doll Man”) acts as an origin story for these characters, telling a self contained tale that establishes the characters and their place in the […]

Review: Planetoid #4

By Michelle White | Nov 29, 2012 | Reviews

With only one issue left in this thrilling and gorgeous miniseries, things are certainly coming to a point in “Planetoid”. And while this issue does have a few flaws to its name, Garing’s storytelling and character design exceed their usual high standard, making this the most absorbing and engaging issue yet. Written and Illustrated by […]

Review: FF #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Nov 29, 2012 | Reviews

We’ve seen Fraction and Bagley in “Fantastic Four” #1, delivering a family-friendly tale of time traveling adventure, and we’ve enjoyed it. It’s a classic take on the team with a modernized slant, truly offering up a different and tighter take to the ideas the team represents compared to what Hickman did on his monumental run. […]

Review: Thor: God of Thunder #2

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 29, 2012 | Reviews

The first issue of “Thor: God of Thunder” was like some crazy heavy metal mishmash of everything great about Thor comics. So, the second issue of Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic’s run couldn’t possibly have rocked harder than that, could it? Written by Jason Aaron Illustrated by Esad Ribic Someone is murdering the gods of […]

Review: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic #1

By Walt Richardson | Nov 29, 2012 | Reviews

I have never seen an episode of the latest cult hit television show, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Then again, I don’t watch much television in general. This new tie-in series has pulled in numbers normally only seen with big two books, a testament to the show’s popularity. Is this first issue deserving of […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. #101 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Nov 28, 2012 | Reviews

The second issue of the now sequential ongoing B.P.R.D. is here, and it’s following hot on the heels of the blow out insanity of issue #100. Will things stop looking so damn dark for our heroes, just for a little bit? Here’s a hint: probably not. Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi Illustrated by […]

Stephenson, Bellegarde and Jordie Deliver a Book with Personality in “Nowhere Men” #1 [Review]

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 28, 2012 | Reviews

A cursory overview of the issue makes comparisons to Jonathan Hickman’s “Manhattan Projects” almost unavoidable, as both feature the world’s most well-known scientific minds (although in this case, fictional) coming together to work on public and highly secret projects that may test the moral boundaries of science. Thankfully, Eric Stephenson’s book is separated from Hickman’s […]

Five Thoughts on The Walking Dead’s “When the Dead Come Knocking” [Review]

By David Harper | Nov 26, 2012 | Reviews

Just one more episode of The Walking Dead remains in this (half) season. How do things follow up on the footsteps of last week’s uneven episode that happened to leave us in a pretty interesting place? Let’s talk about that below, and make sure to leave your thoughts in the comments! Note: spoilers will be […]

Review: Indestructible Hulk #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 23, 2012 | Reviews

I think there is little arguing against Mark Waid being comics’ reigning relaunch king. For crying out loud, the man won Eisner awards for what he did for Matt Murdock after one of Daredevil’s most maligned eras. Subsequently, Waid has been tasked with ushering in Rocketeer’s new “miniseries-after-miniseries” approach, a reboot of “Steed and Mrs. […]

Review: Journey Into Mystery #646

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 23, 2012 | Reviews

Kathryn Immonen’s run on “Journey Into Mystery” begins with a full page Lady Sif-centred reference to the movie Shaft. Nuff said. Written by Kathryn Immonen Illustrated by Valerio Schiti – AN ALL-NEW JOURNEY BEGINS WHEN KATHRYN IMMONEN AND VALERIO SCHITI BRING YOU…SIF: THE BERZERKER?! – She may be a “Lady,” but girly ain’t her style! […]

Review: The Secret Adventures of Houdini, Book One

By Michelle White | Nov 23, 2012 | Reviews

A new take on the life of a man whose story seems to be endlessly fascinating, the first book of “The Secret Adventures of Houdini” from Alterna Comics is good, brash fun with a magical twist. Written by Todd Hunt Illustrated by Sean Von Gorman In the blink of an eye Harry Houdini, a name […]

Review: Comeback #1

By Michelle White | Nov 22, 2012 | Reviews

This was one eagerly-anticipated comic, but thankfully (and it is Thanksgiving), it more than lives up to the hype. Time traveling framed by some vaguely noirish circumstances is a combination that has certainly been done before — particularly by Hollywood — but the way Brisson and Walsh present it here is far from stale. On […]

Review: Captain America #1

By Vince Ostrowski | Nov 22, 2012 | Reviews

In the editorial column at the end of this issue, Rick Remender expresses his longtime love for the character of Captain America. He cites specific eras that he favors and what he hopes to pull from to create his own Cap saga. Remender clearly holds this project very dearly. Good on him, because his first […]

Mignolaversity: B.P.R.D. 1948 #2 [Review]

By Brian Salvatore and David Harper | Nov 21, 2012 | Reviews

This pleasant detour into the past rolls on, with Li’l Hellboy, Varvara, and the whole gang interacting with the Greatest Generation! Written by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi Illustrated by Max Fiumara As the battle between the atomic-bred monsters and the B.P.R.D. rages in the Utah desert, Professor Bruttenholm and the agents successfully kill one […]

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

By David Harper | Nov 19, 2012 | Reviews

Last week ended with a phone call. This week addressed that, as well Michonne’s departure from Woodbury. How did thing goes for Rick, Michonne and the rest of our favorite heroes? Let’s check it out below. Just a note: spoilers from this week’s episode will be discussed, as well as possible tidbits from events that […]

Review: The Phantom Stranger #2

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 16, 2012 | Reviews

A work of art does many things; it recontextualizes moments of our lives, it challenges preconceptions, it teaches us about ourselves and, most importantly perhaps, it gets us to ask questions. The question that “The Phantom Stranger”#2 begs is clear and obvious from the very beginning. “What the fuck?” Be warned, there are spoilers to […]
