Comic Review: Bitch Planet #2

I was hesitant about Bitch Planet. It has nothing to do with the creators, as Kelly Sue DeConnick has written some of my favorite stories in comics, but the concept. I know what kinds of stories I like and what I’m not fo...

Comic Book Review: Effigy #1

I’ve talked about this in previous reviews but Vertigo Comics is a publisher near and dear to my heart. The wave of books in the 90’s and early 2000s were the first comics I really fell in love with. The last year o...

Comic Book Review: Deadpool #41

In Deadpool #41, our title character actually lives up to his “Merc with a Mouth” moniker and finds himself in the Middle East working with the evil Roxxon Corporation (who featured in last month’s special ...

Comic Book Review: New Avengers #29

The Beyonder is on the cover of “New Avengers” #29. As we know, Marvel are rapidly approaching Secret Wars (an event title that has always included the Beyonder character). This should be enough of a sell on its own...

Comic Book Review: The Dying and the Dead #1

Jonathan Hickman has become one of the most important comic writers post 2000. From “Fantastic Four” to the “Avengers”, he’s reinvented what superhero comics can be. Through Image, he’s creat...

Comic Book Review: X-O Manowar #32

It takes some guts to stand up to the toughest guy and knock him down a peg for a profit. Zahn you can say bit off a lot more than he can chew when making that judgement call to take the fight to the X-O Manowar to prove his Ar...

Comic Book Review: Colder: The Bad Seed #4

The scare never ends in Colder when Swivel begins to take action against Declan for the sake of his garden. With the conclusion of the previous issue, Declan is pretty much out of the picture for the time being. So this part of...

Comic Book Review: Halo: Escalation #14

The four-part story continues with the brilliant but obsessed Dr. Catherine Halsey making her move alongside Covenant commander Jul ’Mdama against the UNSC Infinity. The story many should be looking forward to because it is nev...

Comic Book Review: Captain Midnight #19

Everything from the point Jim Albright entered into present time has led to this moment. Where he confronts the one person he trusted most who basically twisted what he created into weapons of a different purpose. This is a tru...

Comic Book Review: Gotham Academy #4

This issue is a little bit scattered: it starts with Olive and Pomeline recounting their scary adventure, and getting chewed out by a gym teacher. Then it moves on to a slew of other settings and subplots. For example, we learn...

Comic Book Review: Munchkin #1

First of all, Munchkin is one of the most fun and friendship ruining board game of all time, and the images and flavor text on its cards are incredibly chuckle-worthy thanks to John Kovalic’s art style. (He gets a one pag...

Comic Book Review: Red Hood and The Outlaws #38

Red Hood and the Outlaws #38 has a bit of a surprise guest. Crux was a guy who hated aliens, so he turned his body into what we see on the cover and tried to take down Starfire. Readers didn’t like him and was never seen after ...

Comic Book Review: Fantastic Four #642

When I first saw the cover for Fantastic Four #642 I first thought it would be the Fantastic Four versus the Invaders. Turns out it’s not just a slug fest where heroes fight heroes, but shows a huge turning point for the ...

Comic Book Reviews: Spider-Verse Team-Up #3

Out of all the tie-ins to Spider-Verse I think Spider-Verse Team-Up would have to be my favourite out of the bunch. Like usual, tie-in series play off where the latest issue to the main series left off. Spider-Verse Team-Up how...

Comic Book Review: Powers #1

“Powers” was a fantastic Brian Michael Bendis penned book that is the second best thing he’s done in his excellent list of works. “Alias” of course being the best. “Powers” is on the br...

Comic Book Review: Batman Superman #18

It comes down to this in the latest issue of Batman Superman. The last few issues we seen a new villain targeting Superman in ways that would compare the guy to the joker. The difference between the two is that we never know wh...

Comic Book Review: The Wicked + The Divine #7

As a fan of things, I have found myself passionate for the works of others, absorbing as much as I can of their works and integrating the art into my personality. I can use songs to analyze my emotions, stories to use as parabl...

Supergirl 038 (2015) (Digital-Empire)-000

Comic Book Review: Supergirl #38

Supergirl continues to pick up on the intensity only after one issue as she and her classmates find themselves faced with opponents who prove they are more than a match. Again it is good to see that there is an attempt being ma...

Comic Book Review: Burning Fields #1

I’ve gone on and on at this site about how great both Michael Moreci’s “Roche Limit” and Tim Daniel’s “Enormous” are. They’re both excellent science fiction stories accented by de...

Comic Book Review: Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 10 #11

Pieces are set into motion all over the board in Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 10 #11. As always we are reminded that this is as much of a personal journey as it is a supernatural tale. With the magical side of things momenta...
