This volume’s title is where the impossible happens, and it’s where the League has to go in order to stop Luthor from turning the multiverse towards Doom.  What do they find there? Why a perfect utopia where their future selves are more than happy to show them around and talk about how they pulled it […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Batman:  Last Knight on Earth HC It’s the future, and do you know where your Batman is?  Bruce Wayne doesn’t. He’s just woken up in Arkham Asylum without a sign that he’s ever been Batman.  The world outside Arkham appears to be all the worse off for it as the Earth of the […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Outer Darkness/Chew #1 (of 3) “Chew” is no stranger to odd crossovers, having already done one with supernatural rural noir “Revival.”  The catch this time is that the series is crossing over space, time, and genre to mash up in some way with creator John Layman’s current series “Outer Darkness.”  As to how […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: X-Men:  Grand Design Omnibus The first three hundred issues of “X-Men” are unique among Marvel comics of that length in the sense that the majority of them were written by one person:  Chris Claremont.

In case you were thinking that the appearance of Galactus on Earth, and Doom’s proclamation that he would be the one to save Earth from the Devourer this time, was some kind of cute interruption for the Thing’s wedding that would be quickly handwaved away, you were wrong.  “Herald of Doom” indeed has two of […]

Some people think that Spider-Man works best as a teen hero and that letting him grow up in the Marvel Universe was a mistake.  Writer Chip Zdarsky may or may not be one of them, but he’s the only writer who thought to ask, “What if Spider-Man grew up along with us over the years?”  […]

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 […]
