“Zero Hour”: A Crisis In Recapping, Part 6

By | Sep 30, 2021 | Reviews

Folks, you’ve heard about it whispered in the corners of DC fandom. You’ve been confused at the odd reference to it in those “modern comics” you devour week after week. What in the darned heck is “Zero Hour”? Why is it called that? Why is it numbered backward? Who is Extant and should I really […]

“Star Wars: Darth Vader” #20-22

By | Sep 28, 2021 | Reviews

We’ve now reached the final arc of this first volume of “Star Wars: Darth Vader.” Knowing that there are two more volumes to follow does pacify some of my concerns about unfinished storylines, but how much of our story will be left unfinished? Written by Kieron Gillen Illustrated by Salvador Larocca and Mike Norton Colored […]

“Star Wars: Darth Vader” #18-19

By | Sep 21, 2021 | Reviews

The war on Shu-Torun wraps up, but some of Vader’s chickens are starting to come home to roost.  He’s going to get out of this battle just fine, but it’s going to be the return to Imperial management that may be the trickier minefield to manage.  The same metaphor can also apply to scripting at […]

Here we are, the penultimate issue of the series. After eleven chapters of “Green Goblin,” with all of their ups and downs, we start closing out DeFalco and McDaniel’s year-long experiment.

“Star Wars: Darth Vader” #16-17

By | Sep 14, 2021 | Reviews

We trade in lightsaber battles for battles of will and political power in the kickoff to the Shu-Torun War.  But another battle is brewing within this series: the various story threads that are starting to knot together, but perhaps not enough, given our advance knowledge of less than ten issues of this series left. Written […]

By | Sep 13, 2021 | Reviews

“Green Goblin” #11 isn’t the last issue. But it might as well be. Next issue will be the ‘Onslaught’ crossover. The following one is an epilogue. This puts today’s story in the unique position of having to end the series before the series actually ends. Any pieces that haven’t been moved into position need to […]

By | Sep 12, 2021 | Reviews

Finally, after 15 weeks, we’ve come to the last instalment of our review of the “Copperhead” series. It’s been a mostly enjoyable ride albeit with a few weak entries in this otherwise solid comic. Fortunately, the creators have delivered some of their best work in these last issues. They’ve also provided answers to Clara’s backstory […]
