Image Advance Arrivals: November 2025

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Free Planet vol. 1 The revolution is over and a planet with a unique energy source now finds itself independent from all of the major galactic powers.  What happens next?  Obviously they’re going to have to fend off attacks from the powers that would want to take them over, but now they’ve got […]

DC Solicitation Sneaks: November 2025

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Justice League of America:  The Nail – Complete Deluxe Edition The Justice League has always been a combination of superheroes working together to achieve things they couldn’t do individually.  While there isn’t a hierarchy within the team, one hero has always been first among them:  Superman.  So what happens to the League when […]

One-Punch Man vols. 30 & 31

I was thinking about skipping a writeup of vol. 30 for this series.  Why?  Because it was just more of the same expertly executed superhero fighting that we’ve been seeing for a while now.  The stakes get larger as Black Spermatozoon takes on a more powerful form, Garo re-emerges from the underground, and Homeless Emperor […]

Dogsred vol. 2

Rou Shirakawa may have competed in his first hockey game under duress, but it turned out to be an exciting experience that has now got him hooked on the sport.  Which is why he heads out with his one-time teammates to see the Oinokami high school team take on their rivals in Sameoh for the […]

A Tale of Two “Titans”

Titans vol. 2:  The Dark-Winged Queen may be listed as a “vol. 2” but it’s actually the third in writer Tom Taylor’s run following vol. 1 and  “Beast World.”  That event series is required reading here as not only are the Titans’ status, and Beast Boy’s in particular, addressed following that event, but the entire […]
