Humanity has lost.  Vampires now rule the Earth under their king and their superhuman army is devoted to rounding up the remaining humans to serve as their cattle.  As well as rooting out any remaining resistance, of which there is plenty.  Batgirl, Black Canary, John Constantine, Steel, Green Arrow, Jayna – the remaining Wonder Twin […]

The time is 1875.  The place is Ft. Lehane, Texas, and Montgomery Enfield, his gang, and their families are living their best lives right now.  The town’s law enforcement is lax enough that they’re able to do whatever they want without fear of any serious repercussions.  Until shortly after they’ve made their latest “withdrawal” from […]

He may have had an 85-issue run on “Batman” proper and a twelve-issue follow-up on top of that, but it seems that Tom King just can’t quit the Dark Knight.  In addition to the “Killing Time” caper and the “Penguin” series, the writer and his frequent artistic collaborator, Mitch Gerads, serialized this four part story […]

With a title like that, you probably already know whether or not this story is going to be for you.  “Predator vs. Wolverine” is exactly what it says it is.  The only thing you might not expect is that it’s a story of the title characters fighting each other over the decades.  From the post-”Origin” […]

Was there nothing else new (in collected editions or single issues) which warranted this spot?  Your […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Titans:  Beast World It’s billed as the first “Titans”-centric DC event, which sounds overdue after the team has been in circulation for over 40 years now.  That’s not what’s drawing me to this event, as it’ll be the first time I’ve started following the team which formerly had “Teen” in front of their […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Fall of the House of X/Rise of the Powers of X As if it could be anything else from this round of solicitations. The “Krakoan Era” of “X-Men” has been one of its most fascinating.  It took the marginalized status of mutants and flipped it on its head by making them not just […]

Some kids have an overactive imagination, where they interact with the things they can only see in their minds eye.  Danny Dillon’s imagination is a bit different, where the things that he can only see in his head can also interact with the real world.  It’s something he’s kept to himself and tried to put […]
