Here we are, Jessica Jones’ first solo adventure in the post-Bendis Marvel Era.  We’ve got the very talented Kelly Thompson writing this story along with Mattia De Iuis providing some very nice art for the majority of the volume, with Marcio Takara pitching in at the end.  It begins with Jessica chained to a chair […]

The big day is finally here!  Now I get to find out exactly why Batman and Catwoman don’t get married!  Yes, I realize that saying this straight out is arguably a spoiler. Except that it’s been months since the events of “Batman #50” and the fact that the two of them aren’t a happy couple […]

An ongoing series featuring Domino?  “How the hell did this happen?” is what I thought until I remembered that she was featured — to pretty great effect — in “Deadpool 2” earlier this year.  So here we are with the first volume of her ongoing title and… it’s alright. The idea of a devil-may-care mercenary […]

I was thinking about reviewing this for a podcast.  After reading it, I decided against it. That’s in part due to the fact that this is essentially sixteen issues (two one-shots and four four-issue miniseries) of setup for the main event that is the “Return of Wolverine.”  The other part is that this is a […]

Listeners with long memories might recall that I mentioned the first four-issue “The Paybacks” miniseries when I talked about the stuff I was reading on my Kindle that one time.  It’s idea of a superhero repo squad that targeted other superheroes who couldn’t afford the payments on their flashy tech was a fun one with […]

The first volume of this series was hamstrung by the fact that it felt like setup for the stories that Grant Morrison really wanted to tell with the character.  With that out of the way, vol. 2 should be a fantastic read. Right? Well it certainly has its charms with the inventive art of Yanick […]

Since its inception Dark Horse Comics has been owned by one person:  Co-founder Mike Richardson. As of last October that’s no longer the case.  Dark Horse received a large investment from Vanguard Visionary Associates, a Hong Kong-based firm.  The stated intent behind this investment is to allow Dark Horse to fund the production of films […]

We were promised answers in this volume.  Along with a sequence that nearly broke creators Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie by the former’s own admission.  The good news is that both of these things are delivered in vol. 7! No, we don’t get ALL the answers. Anyone expecting Gillen to explain everything in this series […]

While the previous volume offered up some satisfyingly tense action, via a hallucinogenic fog that brought back a lot of familiar faces, it left the main story spinning its wheels.  That’s less of a problem here as the men and women of the Expeditionary Corps settle in for a long winter after rebuilding their fort. […]

I’ve always admired Robert Kirkman’s efforts to try and deliver another successful creator-owned series after the successes of “The Walking Dead” and “Invincible.”  That his efforts in that regard, with “The Astounding Wolf-Man” and “Outcast,” have generally been just “okay” hasn’t given me cause to give up hope yet. If this first volume is any […]
