Review: Blue Beetle #10

By | Jun 22, 2012 | Reviews

There is something about the third generation of DC heroes that seems to stick. Kyle Rayner was supplanted as main Green Lantern, but stuck around and became a key element to the GL mythos; Tim Drake, the Robin who wasn’t the original and wasn’t hit in the face with a crowbar until he died from […]

Review: Nightwing #10

By | Jun 22, 2012 | Reviews

The ‘Night of the Owls’ nonsense is over, and “Nightwing” has hopefully pulled in enough readers that it can avoid the next wave of DC cancellations. The ball is in your court, Kyle Higgins and Eddy Barrows. Written by Kyle Higgins Illustrated by Eddy Barrows – Part one of “THE REPUBLIC OF TOMORROW, TODAY.” – […]

Review: Birds of Prey #10

By | Jun 21, 2012 | Reviews

“Birds of Prey” is a bunch of things all at once: a team book, a Bat-family book, a book full of female characters, and a book about redemption. In fact, I think redemption is the clearest word I can find to talk about this book. Black Canary murdered her husband, Poison Ivy is a “recovering” […]

Review: Casanova: Avaritia #4

By | Jun 21, 2012 | Reviews

I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but the only comic I was really excited for this week was the final issue for this arc of “Casanova.” One of the best books currently being published (if not the best), it was a pretty big moment for Casanova fans as the arc came to- Well, […]

By | Jun 21, 2012 | Reviews

While the Avengers and the X-Men fight amongst themselves for only God knows what at this point, the God of mischief is only trying to save Britain. Who’s the REAL hero here? That’s right, Everyone’s favorite child god, Loki Laufeyson-Odinson, if you guessed “The Avengers” or the X-Men” or “Cywing and the Phoenix Force Five” […]

Review: X-Factor #238

By | Jun 21, 2012 | Reviews

At this point, “X-Factor” is one of those books that has found its fan base. If you are a regular comic book reader and are reading “X-Factor,” you are probably going to keep reading “X-Factor” so long as Peter David is writing it. If, of the other hand, you have been reading for at least […]

Review: Legion Lost #10

By | Jun 15, 2012 | Reviews

I’m a huge time-travel nerd. My G-Chat status is always “Destroy the Time Phone,” an inside joke between some friends that another, amazingly talented friend turned into a short film (not starring me, though my voice does make a cameo). Back to the Future is my favorite film, but Primer isn’t too far behind. So, […]

Review: American Vampire: Lord of Nightmares #1

By | Jun 15, 2012 | Reviews

Scott Snyder’s Eisner-nominated ongoing series has spawned yet another miniseries, this time tapping fan-favorite Batman artist Dustin Nguyen for artistic duties. Tired of drawing Batman, he was moved on to bat-men. I thought it was funny. Written by Scott Snyder Illustrated by Dustin Nguyen Hot on the heels of last year’s award-winning AMERICAN VAMPIRE miniseries, […]

Review: Grifter #10

By | Jun 14, 2012 | Reviews

More like Rob LOLfeld, amiright? This was the basic reaction when readers, myself included, heard that Rob Liefeld was taking over the creative control of three (3) DCnU books come May: “The Savage Hawkman,” “Deathstroke,” and “Grifter.” Many (again, myself included), predicted imminent cancellation, a retraction saying it was a joke, or an early Mayan […]

Brian Wood Joins The X-Men [Review]

By | Jun 14, 2012 | Reviews

I was going to call this article “Two X-Men, One Wood,” but somehow that seemed like a bad idea. So this week sees two different X-Men books in two different universes get one single author: Mr. Brian Wood. Author of such MC favorites as “DMZ,” “Local” and “Channel Zero” (to name a few), this week […]

Review: Planetoid #1

By | Jun 14, 2012 | Reviews

Science fiction was my first true love, and so I always try to pick up any new sci-fi comic that hits the stands. Of course, it doesn’t always happen — unfortunately, superhero comics get all the press, but that’s a topic that doesn’t belong in a review. While I hadn’t heard of “Planetoid” before it […]

Advance Review: The Massive #1

By | Jun 11, 2012 | Reviews

A few months after the conclusion of “DMZ,” the first issue of Brian Wood’s newest creator-owned ongoing comes out this week from Dark Horse Comics. “DMZ” was a big hit among the Multiversity Comics writers — will “The Massive” receive the same massive enormous praise? Written by Brian Wood Illustrated by Kristian Donaldson In a […]

Review: Night Force #4

By | Jun 8, 2012 | Reviews

It’s hard to get mad at DC for trying to keep its living legends happy. Guys like Neal Adams, Marv Wolfman, George Perez, and Len Wein continue to do work for the company they helped build, and for their part, DC tries to throw them a bone here and there, usually in the form of […]
