Review: Non-Humans #1

By Walt Richardson | Oct 5, 2012 | Reviews

Toy Story meets Blade Runner? Got to say, most things I’ve read or watched that describe themselves as _______ meets Blade Runner have been awful… and I love Blade Runner! Perhaps the latest comic by Glen Brunswick and Image co-founder Whilce Portacio will break the mold, though. Written by Glen Brunswick Illustrated by Whilce Portacio […]

Review: Avengers vs. X-Men #12

By Vince Ostrowski | Oct 4, 2012 | Reviews

An event so big that literally all of Marvel’s biggest writers had to be a part of it. All of Marvel’s most recognizable characters. A massive force that could potentially tear apart our world. This could have been the event to end all events. Does “Avengers Vs. X-Men” #12 deliver a satisfying conclusion or should […]

Review: Danger Club #4

By Michelle White | Oct 4, 2012 | Reviews

A dark story turns ever darker in this fourth issue of “Danger Club”, with Walker and Jones upping the emotional ante at every turn. If you aren’t reading this heavy and intense superhero series already, now’s the time to catch up! Written by Landry Q. Walker Illustrated by Eric Jones Chaos, blood, and betrayal all […]

Review: Daredevil – End of Days #1

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 4, 2012 | Reviews

Sometimes solicits can be grossly inaccurate. They’ll give teases, a hint or two of what is to come or maybe just some goofball nonsense to entice you of what is to come. The unfortunate aspect of the solicit is that, a lot of the time, they’ll give information that throws you off; it’s not purposefully […]

Review: Doctor Who Vol. 3 #1

By Walt Richardson | Oct 4, 2012 | Reviews

“I’m written by Andy Diggle now. Andy Diggle is cool.” Okay, the Doctor doesn’t exactly say that — maybe metaphorically, but not literally — but Diggle is cool, and a good fit for this series. Written by Andy Diggle Illustrated by Mark Buckingham and Charlie Kirchoff The Doctor is back! Welcome to a new, exciting […]

Review: Doctor Who “The Angels Take Manhattan”

By Matthew Meylikhov | Oct 1, 2012 | Reviews

Ah, here it is. The mid-season finale, and the farewell to the Ponds. Or is it the Williams’? As a note, spoilers are discussed. Before we get into the real meat of the episode, lets discuss the elephant in the room: the Weeping Angels. In the season 3 episode “Blink,” Moffat introduced us to the […]

Review: Talon #0

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

Let’s look at the numbers: this is the fourth ‘Third Wave’ book to be released this month, the thirteenth book in the “Batman” group of books, the third DCnU book to be at least co-plotted by Scott Snyder, and the first book since the New 52 began to introduce a new creation as the main […]

Review: Justice League Dark #0

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

The “Dark” line of DC Comics’ New 52 has arguably been the strongest set of titles in the relaunch from a critical standpoint. There’s just so much to be gained from allowing the weird comics of the Vertigo imprint to mingle in the mainstream. So here we are in Zero Month, a perfect chance to […]

Review: Amazing Spider-Man #694

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

This week sees the release of “Amazing Spider-Man” #694, the last storyline before the big push towards issue #700 and all associated changes that come along with it. I can’t think of a more clever way to start the review off, so let’s get to it. Written by Dan Slott Illustrated by Humberto Ramos * […]

Review: Dancer #5

By Michelle White | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

“Dancer” is one of those miniseries that almost seems too good to be true. Well-paced, smart, full of action, romantic in sort of a subtle and sad way, it plays out like a spy movie from the 1960s but without a vestige of cheese. Now that it’s reached its last issue, we’ve got one beautiful […]

Review: The Punisher #16

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

Greg Rucka’s “Punisher” ongoing comes to an end after only 16 issues. And within these 16 issues was an already classic tale in the Punisher mythos that did a lot to advance a character that has been around since 1974. That’s not easy, but it’s even harder to stick the landing. Did Rucka and Checchetto […]

Review: Red Lanterns #0

By Drew Bradley | Sep 28, 2012 | Reviews

“Red Lanterns” was a book I was excited to try when the New 52 began last September, and it was a disappointment until I dropped it at issue 5. I’m still reading two other Lantern books, and the ‘Third Army’ crossover and a zero issue prompted me to give it another shot. Written by Peter […]

Review: Teen Titans #0

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 27, 2012 | Reviews

Four Robins, four origins. “Nightwing” was a fantastic issue; “Red Hood and the Outlaws” wasn’t worth the paper it was printed on. Where would Tim Drake’s origin fall? Be warned that there are some spoilers about the issues are found herein. Written by Scott Lobdell Illustrated by Tyler Kirkham – Focusing on the origin of […]

Review: Batman Incorporated #0

By Vince Ostrowski | Sep 27, 2012 | Reviews

So, Damian Wayne is eleven years old. And Batman met Talia al Ghul when? And he’s fighting a globe-trotting war with Leviathan at roughly the same time he took on the Court of Owls? Continuity nuts, get your aspirin out. The rest of you? Just strap in and enjoy an okay comic, dammit. Written by […]

Review: Happy! #1

By Michelle White | Sep 27, 2012 | Reviews

When the name involved is as big as Morrison’s — and when the project in question is the first creator-owned endeavour in a while — the expectations for a new miniseries are bound to be high. And while what Morrison and Robertson put forth in “Happy!” may not suit all tastes, it’s certainly impressive, exhibiting […]

Review: Aquaman #0

By Matthew Meylikhov | Sep 27, 2012 | Reviews

Aquaman: the best character in company-owned comics that no one can seem to translate across to audiences in a positive manner that doesn’t rely on some weird gimmick. But hey, we’re on a break from the main story arc and their “cooler” “darker” Other League. It’s time to reintroduce Aquaman for the 2012 audience! Geoff […]

Review: Skullkickers #18

By Walt Richardson | Sep 27, 2012 | Reviews

The talents behind “Chew” and “Luthor Strode” should be enough to sell you on this anthology. A good anthology, though, offers a recognizable name or two that draws you in, but lesser known creators whose tales stick with you for extensive periods of time. Luckily, if ‘Son of Tavern Tales’ is anything, it’s sticky. That’s […]

Dredd: The Least Dreddful Movie of the Year! [Review]

By James Johnston | Sep 24, 2012 | Reviews

Seventeen years ago, movie goers were first exposed to the wildly famous British “superhero” Judge Dredd in the form of a movie adaptation starring Sylvester Stallone, Diane Lane, and Rob Schneider’s screeching voice. Critically reviled, Judge Dredd was silently sweeped under the carpet and many people tried to forget the cinematic abomination they kept wishing […]

Review: Revival #3

By Michelle White | Sep 21, 2012 | Reviews

The two first issues of “Revival” were, for lack of a better word, badass. Setting up a zombie story that’s not quite a zombie story — the reanimated are sometimes able to resume their old lives — and having it play out in a small Wisconsin town, Seeley and Norton have aimed for slow-burn spooks […]

Review: DC Universe Presents #0

By Brian Salvatore | Sep 21, 2012 | Reviews

4 writers and 5 artists tackle 4 forgotten books (and a Deadman story) in this oversized collection of origins, set-ups and, hopefully, some payoffs. Written by Dan DiDio, James Robinson, Rob Liefeld, Tony Bedard Illustrated by Keith Giffen, Tom Derenick, Marat Mychaels, Carlos Rodriguez, and Scott McDaniel – Five all-new adventures featuring the Blackhawks’ Mother […]

Review: Spider-Men #5

By David Harper | Sep 21, 2012 | Reviews

A lot of people don’t see the point to this five-issue mini-series that pairs together Peter Parker (of 616) with Miles Morales (of the Ultimate universe) on a grand adventure. To them, I stick my tongue out and ask, “are we having fun yet?” Written by Brian Michael Bendis Illustrated by Sara Pichelli – The […]
