“Marvel Knights: X-Men”

By | Feb 16, 2018 | Reviews

In 1998 Marvel launched a new imprint known as Marvel Knights. Overseen by  Joe Quesada and Jimmy Palmiotti, the line focused on underused characters at the time like “Black Panther,” “The Punisher,” “Daredevil,” and “The Inhumans.” While focusing on realistic and darker tones, the line also sought more independent talent to tell these stories. Creators […]

“Thor: God of Thunder” #12

By | Feb 7, 2018 | Reviews

Jason Aaron’s Thor is now the longest run with a single character at Marvel besides Dan Slott’s Spider-Man. With Jane Foster’s chapter in that story seemingly coming to an end soon, it felt like a good time to revisit the issue that really started her whole arc and is one of my favorites of the […]

“Reggie and Me”

By | Jan 29, 2018 | Reviews

Ever since the Archie franchise was restarted, the publishing team have been delivering some really great books. We can talk about Waid’s wonderful coming-of-age story in “Archie,” or the hilarious and charming “Jughead,” or Hughes’s gorgeous art in “Betty and Veronica.” But there are some hidden gems with a little less coverage but the same […]

“White Sand” Volume One

By | Jan 9, 2018 | Reviews

Suffice to say that “White Sand” is part of an expanding cannon of some of the best fantasy being […]

“I Love This Part”

By | Jan 3, 2018 | Reviews

What makes a relationship so special? Is it the big moments, the grand romantic gestures that feel just like the movies? Or is it the dozens of small, inconsequential, almost mundane moments that stick in your memory when they’re gone? Perhaps it’s a mix of both, but in Tillie Walden’s short novel “I Love This […]
