I could talk about the latest PR landmine that went off in DC’s face over the past week with the allocation of the 3D covers for their “Villains Month” titles.  Except that Brian Hibbs has already done a far better evisceration of the company for their antics than I ever could over at his site. […]

Robert Kirkman wasn’t kidding.  In issue #100 of the series (chapter four in this collection), everyone dies.  The two issues collected after that in this volume are nothing more than blank pages.  I can’t imagine how he’s been able to sell any issues of the series after this.  Are people just buying it on autopilot […]

What took so long?  Stuff.  Also the fact that the previews had impressed upon me that the film’s plot would revolve around a bit of false tension that I found completely uninteresting.  Namely the fact that they gave off every indication that the main story would involve Wolverine giving up his healing factor to experience […]

I went in to Comic-Con (yes, I’m still talking about it — expect it to keep happening for quite some time) with an agenda for buying certain single issues.  These were the ones that either weren’t collected in the edition I bought the rest of their parent series in, or were going to be collected […]

I wouldn’t say that Ostrander was singlehandedly responsible for getting me to read “Star Wars” comics again, but the man has produced the best ones I’ve read in recent memory.  As all things must, his time with the franchise seems to be winding down with these two titles.  Though a third volume of “Dawn of […]

I’ve generally enjoyed everything I’ve read from Aaron, and while “Scalped” is likely the title he will and should be remembered for, the man has also done an admirable job of steering Wolverine and his half of the X-Men over the past few years.  Yet I held off on checking out his run on the […]

Is this a good volume of “B.P.R.D.?”  Ask me again after a few more have materialized and I may have a solid answer for you.  As it is, this one feels like it was designed more to set up future stories than tell good ones right now. “The Pickens County Horror” involves backwoods vampires, mushrooms, […]

After the first volume was pretty much as good as its hype, I was very much looking forward to getting the same enjoyment out of this one.  Unfortunately that didn’t quite happen here.  While “Hawkeye” remains a solid example of how good a title featuring a B-list hero as its lead has to be in […]

Finding out whether or not this second volume of Brandon Graham’s re-imagining of the old Rob Liefeld character is for you is easy.  Did you enjoy the concentrated sci-fi weirdness of the first volume?  If you did, then pick this up right away because things only get stranger from here.  Now that Old Man Prophet […]
