Manga and Comic Reviews
I can only speak for myself, but when Ed Brubaker finished his run on “Captain America” I was glad to see the end of it. It was a run that had started off quite strongly before steadily losing steam a little over halfway through when it seemed that the writer thought it would be more […]
Viz announced a lot of new licenses this week and only one really stood out to me. Come December, they’ll release the first volume of “Master Keaton,” an Urasawa work that pre-dates “Monster” and “20th Century Boys.” It’s about the adventures of one Taichi Hiraga-Keaton, an archaeologist who also works as a part-time insurance investigator.

I know this came out several months back and that it has since been followed by two more volumes. The thing is now that my copy of “Infinity” has arrived, I figured it’s time to go back and offer my thoughts on it in the interest of having my thoughts on all of Hickman’s run […]
