We all knew it wouldn’t last, but I think we were at least hoping it would last longer than this.  What am I talking about?  Well, word is that a certain Ol’ Canucklehead will be making his way back to the land of the living early next year.  Just in time for his latest movie, […]

It’s Image Comics’ 25th Anniversary next year and Robert Kirkman is all ready to celebrate.  By that I mean the latest issues of the three titles he writes, “The Walking Dead,” “Invincible,” and “Outcast,” will be priced at twenty-five cents each.  In addition to being a cute way to celebrate the occasion, it’s also a […]

One of the key components from DC’s “Rebirth” initiative has seen them publish fewer individual titles, but double-ship their biggest ones.  This is because it’s a far safer commercial bet to publish two issues of “Batman” or “Justice League” than to take a risk on a lesser-known or all-new property.  To be fair, DC is […]

Luiza Bora has only one real desire in life:  To be part of the police.  Unfortunately her personality type is a 57B — someone with an emotionally subnormal response to violence and no aversion to killing.  So she’s out of luck working for law enforcement on Earth.  Not on Mercury, however.  In the far-future world […]

Marvel has been trying to put out a successful “Black Widow” ongoing series for years now.  I’ve been immune to their efforts because, prior to this, they had yet to give this series to creators I liked.  So when it was announced that the “Daredevil” team of writer Mark Waid and artist Chris Samnee were […]

I didn’t know that I needed to see Laura “Wolverine” Kinney team up with Squirrel Girl.  Or, to take on one of Marvel’s more noteworthy giant monsters.  That’s what makes the first half of this latest volume a ton of fun.  To start things off, it turns out that Wolverine’s plan to ditch her pursuers […]

What does an old, grizzled, time-displaced version of Wolverine do when he realizes that the version of history he’s in isn’t going to lead to the awful future he came from?  “Bordertown” has him going to check on the little girl that eventually grew up to become his wife and making sure that she’s all […]

If you follow my comments about this title over the past several months (or couple of years as it were) in the “Dark Horse Previews Picks” I write, you may have noticed an air of cynicism from me about this title.  My main issue with it is how it was marked as an ongoing title […]

Time to get back to work… How many different versions of Superman’s origin have there been?  In my library alone I’ve got copies of John Byrne’s “Man of Steel” reinvention from the 80’s, Mark Waid and Lenil Yu’s maxiseries “Birthright,” and Geoff Johns and Gary Frank’s “Secret Origin.”  If you’re being generous, you can also […]
