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” […]

Wherein Superman, and his handpicked version of The Authority, go to Warworld to free it and its subjects from Mongul’s iron grasp.  That’s what this 700+ page collection boils down to and if you’ve read a story where the Man of Steel goes off to save a group of people or a civilization from totalitarian […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: What’s the Furthest Place From Here #19 Yeah, this gets the spot because it’s proof that “What’s the Furthest Place From Here?” is still ongoing.  Which is always a concern given its irregular appearances in these solicitations.

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 […]

WAR HAS COME TO ARAKKO!  On one side is Genesis, the former ruler of the Arakki people, come to reclaim them from what she, and the whispering Annihilation staff, see as the weaknesses they have incurred on their time in this plane.  On the other are Storm and her Brotherhood, determined to show these mutants […]

Groo ended his last adventure in “Gods Against Groo” stranded out on the ocean with his faithful companion Rufferto.  It’s a rare bit of continuity between stories that doesn’t portend anything longer as he soon finds himself back on dry land, and hungry!  He’s got a craving for seafood, fruits, birds, or any kind of […]
