We get the finale of the Kanto Tournament in this volume and the winner shouldn’t surprise you. Meguru turned the tide at the end of vol. 10 and he continues to press his advantage as he gets into the zone against Muroi. Yet the fact that he wins isn’t the most interesting thing about the […]
Waid has been writing superhero comics long enough that he knows their fans always need to see something new in their series. So when this story implies with its title that he’s going to start working as the latest Herald of Galactus, I was willing to see where the writer would be going with this. […]
“Hunted” is done and now it’s back to the fun stuff. Or, relatively fun stuff in any event. There’s plenty of good times to be had in this volume. Your enjoyment of them, however, will depend on how willing you are to put up with overly cryptic teases for this title’s future. Such as the […]
Bendis’ other “Superman” title got off to a strong start with its first volume. Does his first go at “Action Comics” fare the same? Yes. Yes it does. “Invisible Mafia” makes one thing clear almost from the start: This is going to be the street-level “Superman” book. Where we’re more likely to see Clark Kent […]
Rankin used to be the best assassin in the world. Then he got out of the game by taking over a crime syndicate. Now his Pizda Ryu are the number two gang in the world and someone’s gunning for their leader. So what’s the assassin formerly known as “Chekhov’s Gun” going to do about it? […]
OH NO! Gieve is departing Arslan’s service! After being really smug to one of the new officers about how he killed– I mean, spared his brother from suffering, the minstrel gets in a very well-choreographed swordfight before Farangis shows up to put a stop to it. Gieve realizes that his services are no longer necessary […]
We’re all familiar with some version of the story of “Snow White.” A young princess is sent away to be murdered at the behest of her wicked stepmother, only to escape her fate, hang out with some dwarves for a while, eat an apple poisoned by said stepmother, fall into a deep sleep as a […]
G. Willow Wilson got her start doing creator-owned work on titles like the “Cairo” OGN and “Air” at Vertigo before she jumped ship to Marvel and hit it big creating Kamala “Ms. Marvel” Khan. She’s now back at DC writing “Wonder Woman” and preparing to take over “The Dreaming,” but has still found time for […]
Yes, I did get a lot of “Star Wars” comics in my most recent order of comics. “Rebels & Rogues” is the last of them, and the best as well. Rather than spend its time telling one story, vol. 13 decides to tell three instead. As an onslaught of Imperial probe droids scan the galaxy […]
The craziest train in comics continues… I mean, it’d be easy to fill a couple paragraphs with all of the “What the hell did I just read?” moments from this latest omnibus edition. Instead, I’ll just fill one: Bando getting a bionic arm and saying nuts to the castration surgery to go fulfill his vendetta […]
