This was a series that grabbed my attention because of its cover for the first issue (which was a full wraparound that I only saw the right half of on solicitation).  It was indicative of violence and loss against the backdrop of an unfamiliar world and I wanted to know more about it.  Creator Daniel […]

They just keep piling up around my place.  New volumes from all of the Image titles I read.  Being several, and in one case seven, volumes deep into them I’ve got a pretty good idea of what to expect from them at this point.  So even if there’s not as much to talk about these […]

Talk about things that I never expected to see happen anytime soon.  After well over a decade of working exclusively at Marvel, Brian Michael Bendis has signed an exclusive deal to write comics for DC.  This is shocking not just because of how long the writer has spent working for Marvel but because whenever he’s […]

Andronika the Scythian, “Andy” to her friends, has been a soldier of fortune for a very, very long time now.  She’s not immortal, she just hasn’t found the right time to die yet.  Same goes for her comrades Booker, who lived through Napoleon’s march into Russia, Joe and Nicky, both veterans on opposite sides of […]

The end is near and as the build-up in this volume makes clear, it’ll likely be worth it in the end.  Picking up right after the tragic death at the end of the previous volume, a lot of big stuff happens.  Mark has it out with Allen, decides that he needs to end Thragg once […]

Retroactively speaking, there was one good thing about how writer Tom King delivered an utterly formulaic and predictable start to his “Batman” run with “I Am Gotham.”  It meant that he had a relatively low bar to clear with subsequent volumes, which he did with (mostly) relative ease on “I Am Suicide.”  With “I Am […]

It’s a big month for Robert Kirkman as both “Invincible” and “The Walking Dead” hit major milestone issues.  This is a much bigger deal for the former series as this is its final issue.  More on that and the rest of Image’s solicitations after the break. Invincible #144:  It takes a certain amount of balls […]

The Marvel Legacy one-shot has arrived and with it, the identity of the resurrectee that issue was supposed to reveal.  To my surprise, it wasn’t some kind of prologue for “The Return of Jean Grey” miniseries that was solicited last month.  Instead, it’s the return of a completely different character.  One who we really haven’t […]

*deep breath*  Okay, so about a month back Tom King tweeted a page of art from Jason Fabok with a severed hand catching fire in a wintery backdrop and Fabok tweeted a picture of snow with a statement that he was working with a writer on a secret project.  CBR thought that this meant the […]

Dark Horse has partnered up with Nintendo to release several of their gaming art and sourcebooks, including the mega-selling “Hyrule Historia.”  One has to wonder when they’re going to take their relationship to the next level and start giving us comics based on these properties.  We have an answer now and it is “Fall 2018” […]
