Advance Review: Grim Leaper #1

By | May 15, 2012 | Reviews

One of our favorite creators, Kurtis Wiebe, has a brand new comic out next week from Image called “Grim Leaper.” We’re sure you’ve heard a bit of it by now from previous coverage, but I suppose the only thing left to answer is — is it worth buying? Let’s discuss that today. Written by Kurtis […]

Review: Deathstroke #9

By | May 11, 2012 | Reviews

In an issue with Lobo, self-destructing body armor, and a cemetery rigged with explosives, there is only one name you could reasonably expect to see on the cover; alone, monolithic, shining like a beacon. Like a lighthouse, helping ships pass through the foggy waters of common sense and feet to the other side, the side […]

Review: Avenging Spider-Man #7

By | May 11, 2012 | Reviews

Some couples’ idea of a romantic date is dinner at a nice restaurant and the latest award-winning movie. The Immonens, on the other hand, make comics together whenever they have the chance. To each their own, I suppose (not to imply, of course, that they do not love fine dining and films as well). Written […]

Review: Mystery in Space #1

By | May 10, 2012 | Reviews

The third of Vertigo’s one-shot anthologies, “Mystery in Space” primarily focuses on the kind of science fiction that the name implies: the kind with, you know, mysteries. Overall, though, the content is quite diverse, but does diverse necessarily mean good? Join me as I review each story in this 80-page monster through a paragraph each, […]

Review: Exiled #1

By | May 4, 2012 | Reviews

“Journey into Mystery” and “New Mutants,” two of Marvels best books, have joined together in a tale about traveling from dimension to dimensi–no, that’s not right. Ever since Fear Itself, these books have slowly been build toward each other in a much hyped, if not unconventional, crossover that pairs the Asgardians with Dani Moonstar and […]

Review: G.I. Combat #1

By | May 4, 2012 | Reviews

The most perplexing of the Next Wave titles, “GI Combat” is the latest war comic from DC. Just last month, DC gave the axe to “Men of War” and “Blackhawks,” two war books that didn’t sell very well or engender a passionate fanbase. And so, in their desire to keep publishing a war book, they […]

Review: World’s Finest #1

By | May 4, 2012 | Reviews

Huntress and Power Girl are two fan-favorite female characters, so it only makes sense for DC to give them a new team-up book as part of their second wave of new comics. The catch? They’re from Earth 2. The catch to that? They’re from Earth 2, but are now in the post-Flashpoint DC Universe. Is […]

Review: Earth 2 #1

By | May 3, 2012 | Reviews

Review: Supreme #64

By | May 3, 2012 | Reviews

Company-owned comics often undergo dramatic creative shifts. It is the nature of the beast, and certainly is not inherently negative; a writer who is drastically different from the preceding writer can bring to light qualities of the character that the previous writer only glossed over. Erik Larsen is a incredibly different writer from Alan Moore, […]

Another new title from Image Comics drops tomorrow, and it comes from a trio of huge talents in Jim McCann, Rodin Esquejo and Sonia Oback. If you’re still on the fence about whether or not you should pick this book up, I have a completely spoiler-free (this is a book you want to know little […]
