“Star Wars: Doctor Aphra” #26-28

By | Aug 29, 2020 | Reviews

“Doctor Aphra” meets Speed as Aphra has to stave off death by staying close to someone she’d rather far, far, away from.  It’s a sticky situation but one that allows us to explore a dynamic we’ve been waiting to see.

“The Manhattan Projects” Volume 3

By | Aug 26, 2020 | Reviews

Welcome to our Summer Comics Binge of “The Manhattan Projects” by Jonathan Hickman and Nick Pitarra. I’ve read work by both creators before, namely Hickman’s X title relaunch and half of “East of West” (that’s on hold until I finish “The Manhattan Projects”), and Pitarra’s short-lived “Leviathan.” I’ll be reviewing a volume of the series […]

“The Question” (1987) #37

By | Aug 25, 2020 | Reviews

Welcome to the weirdest “The Question” issue yet, and that’s saying something. Remember how we had a sad clown issue? Or the recurring character of Junior who wasn’t really recurring? Yeah, this beats all that. Probably because it’s contingent on both the excellent event “52” and the less excellent but still fantastic “Blackest Night.”

“Star Wars Legacy: War”

By | Aug 20, 2020 | Reviews

Sometimes the inner workings of comic book companies is too arcane, even for someone who follows this stuff day in and day out. I cannot properly explain why “Star Wars Legacy” was prematurely canceled after 50 issues, only to be brought back for a final 6 issue miniseries. Nor can I explain why that miniseries […]

By | Aug 17, 2020 | Reviews

The summer journey through the Amalgam Universe continues today with a review of “Assassins”. This issue tried to take advantage of the Bad Girl trend, but it ended up being a nonsensical mess. The Mashup In a twist on the normal process, the lead characters are intracompany combinations. Daredevil and Elektra are smooshed together to […]
