Afterlife with Archie: Rivderdale for the Walking Dead Generation [Review]

By | Jun 4, 2014 | Reviews

When you talk about Archie Comics, I think a certain image is immediately. The picturesque Riverdale and its happy denizens immediately come to mind.

Moore and O’Neill Deliver Nemo’s Greatest Adventure in “The Roses of Berlin” [Review]

By | Mar 11, 2014 | Reviews

Since the end of “Century,” fans have largely been curious about what the next step for Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill’s “League of Extraordinary Gentleman” was. “Century” felt like a culmination as much as it did the next installment; something which was decidedly different from what came before yet also clearly built off of established […]

Off the Cape: Teddy-1

By | Feb 6, 2013 | Columns

Buying comics on Kickstarter can be a bit of a gamble especially if, like me, you want to support up-and-coming artists that haven’t had the chance to prove themselves before.  You never know beforehand how things will turn out.  So far, I’ve managed to be pretty lucky, as I’ve been satisfied with almost every project […]

Becky Cloonan is one of the most talented, hard-working artists working in comics today.  This past year alone, she helped revitalize the “Conan” line at Dark Horse, became the first woman to draw an issue of “Batman,” and worked on “Swamp Thing” and “B.P.R.D.: Hell On Earth: The Pickens County Horror.”  She also published a […]

Off the Cape: Moebius’s Arzach

“When an artist puts himself in a state where he wants to draw what exists at the deepest level of his consciousness, just on the edge of the subconscious mind, strange things begin to happen.” — Jean Giraud, 1938-2012 Although 2012 was, overall, an excellent year for comics, it also marked the passing of some […]
