…With a title like that, what more do you need to know? Maybe that he’s also “Pantsless Bear-Fighter” for a good portion of the first issue? Or how about that this series does a decent enough job of delivering enough insanity to live up to that title.  You’ve got Shirtless himself, who lives in a […]

This latest volume of “Jessica Jones” gives me hope that Bendis is going to end his tenure at Marvel on an upswing.  I still have to catch up on “Invincible Iron Man” and “The Defenders” but “The Secrets of Maria Hill” is good stuff.  It even gets off on the right foot by addressing my […]

Vol. 2 of this series was one of the best things I read last year and proof that Warren Ellis can still knock it out of the park when he puts his mind to it.  So it’s disappointing to see that vol. 3 of “Injection” doesn’t keep to the same standards.  The focus this time […]

The spirit of Amity Arkham has possessed her descendant, Olive Silverlock, and it’s up to her friends Maps, Olive, Colin, and Kyle (with a little help from Damian Wayne) to save the day.  Aside from a vengeful pyrokinetic spirit, the only things standing in their way are Two-Face, The Penguin, an animal-headed secret society on […]

You know, I figured if anyone could find the fun in seeing Doctor Doom trying to rehabilitate his image as (The Infamous) Iron Man it’d be Mark Waid.  The man has a great handle on knowing how to respect a character’s history and subvert it which he demonstrated to regular and frequently excellent extent on […]

This is an odd volume for a couple of reasons.  It dials back the crazy plot twists the series usually thrives on and takes a break from advancing the main plot to focus on exploring the backstories of the crew of the Clarke as well as the alien Builders.  In addition, “Blueshift” is also the […]

There hasn’t been any interesting Image news to comment on over the past month.  Which, from a certain perspective, is kind of refreshing compared to the constant stream of drama that comes out of the Big Two.  It doesn’t make for an interesting way to begin a column like this, so let’s just dive into […]

He’s not even a month into his tenure as Marvel’s new Editor in Chief but C.B. Cebulski is already dealing with his first major controversy.  Namely, the fact that he previously wrote for the company under an assumed Japanese name:  Akira Yoshida.  The way this happened sounds more amusing/absurd than anything else as Cebulski came […]

In the wake of the “Milk Wars” crossover Gerard Way’s Young Animal imprint goes through a familiar rite of passage at DC in this month’s solicitations.  That would be the “soft relaunch” as three of its titles are getting new #1 issues and a new miniseries debuts alongside them.  Of the group, Cave Carson Has […]
