Gordon Goliath drives a food truck for a living. That in itself isn’t a remarkable occupation. Except in this case where he’s driving it through a world whose setting can easily be described as “Post-Apocalyptic.” Business in a world where a good portion of its population has been wiped out is as terrible as you’d […]
The Cates/Stegman (and friends) run was the first time I followed the ongoing adventures of Eddie Brock and his symbiote. In case anyone has forgotten, I was thoroughly entertained by that “Venom” series, particularly in the way that it served to build up the main character arc by arc and while also making major changes […]
Let me quote directly from the description of this series on its back cover: “Trapped and separated by an apocalyptic rainfall, Mike and Clara, devoted husband and wife, have sworn to find their way back to one another. But they quickly discover that the rain – and their predicament – is not what it seems. […]
With “Fables” having been away for a while now, it’s not surprising that publisher DC and series creator Bill Willingham decided to reintroduce the series with a crossover.

A routine which involves stopping by the local thrift shop each Thursday after collecting her pension. It’s on her latest trip there that she discovers the Holy Grail on sale under a fur coat for a steal […]
Walter is a serial killer. We’re not told how many people he’s killed over the years, but it’s certainly enough for him to have a signature thing he associates with his kills. That would be how he associates each of them with a unique song. His best friend (in his own mind), a retired FBI […]
Above-the-Board Recommendation: DCeased: War of the Undead Gods #1 (of 8) This just goes to show you can’t keep a good superheroes-as-zombies franchise down. Of course, there were hints that “Dead Planet” wasn’t going to be the end of it. The biggest being that an Anti-Life infected Darkseid was still left in play at the […]
“THE KUROSAGI CORPSE DELIVERY SERVICE” IS BACK, BABY! I mean, it’s coming back in July to comic shops and in August everywhere else! That’s the big news I learned from the Dark Horse Comics panel at the convention, and it was shocking for a couple reasons. One is that I rarely expect to get big […]
