Age of X-Man: The Marvelous X-Men

Out of the ashes of “Uncanny X-Men:  Disassembled” comes… something really strange.  By either regular “X-Men” standards or even their alternate universe stories.  “The Marvelous X-Men” collection makes up the spine of the “Age of X-Man” event as it collects the title miniseries, as well as the “Alpha” and “Omega” issues that kick it off […]

A Kirkman Doubleheader!

With “Invincible” and “The Walking Dead” no longer with us, the chances of me winding up with two Robert Kirkman-written books on my shelf to review is going to be an increasingly rare occurrence.  It’ll become even more so when one of the series I’m writing about here wraps up with its next volume. So […]

Monstress vol. 4: The Chosen

That guy in the center of the cover for this volume certainly looks sinister, doesn’t he?  Like he’s just sitting there advertising to everyone who cares to look that he’s the new villain of this series.  That’s not an incorrect assumption to make. The thing is that The Doctor has a very personal connection to […]

Aliens: Resistance

When word broke a couple months ago that Brian Wood had been accused of sexual misconduct, again, I figured that his career was over.  Turns out that I was right because Dark Horse, who have been publishing the majority of his work over the past five years, stated that they would not be pursuing any […]

Marvel Previews Picks: January 2020

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Star Wars:  Doctor Aphra vol. 7 — A Rogue’s End So it turns out that this is the final volume of Doctor Chelli Aphra’s adventures.  The return of her deadliest adversary/employer makes a certain amount of sense (even if it was a dick move on Marvel’s part to spoil it in the solicitations), […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Lazarus vol. 6:  Risen I Greg Rucka and Michael Lark’s dystopian sci-fi action/drama made its long-awaited return to the realm of serialized comics earlier this year in a new quarterly format.  The idea was that this new schedule would allow the creators to deliver the series on a more consistent basis compared with […]

DC Previews Picks: January 2020

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Superman:  Heroes #1 This is a one-shot featuring a stellar cast of creators:  Bendis, Greg Rucka, Matt Fraction and Jody Houser share writing duties, while Kevin Maguire, Steve Lieber, Mike Perkins, and more provide the art.  So what kind of event would bring all these creators together? Nothing more than exploring the fallout […]

Dark Horse Previews Picks: January 2020

Above-the-Board Recommendation: The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service Omnibus vol. 5 Longtime readers should not be surprised to see this volume here.  At all. For those of you who’ve joined us more recently, “The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service” is one of the best manga published by Dark Horse.  It’s about a group of unemployable college students […]
