Manga and Comic Reviews
I know it’s getting old at this point, but there are a lot of Image titles that I follow. To the point where the trade paperbacks I get start to pile up in my review queue after a while. I have things that I want to say about them, but there’s always something newer or […]
I was originally going to write up “Star Wars: Obi-Wan and Anakin” tonight because I wanted something easy. Then I was distracted by this second collection of Ennis & McCrea’s run on “The Demon.” I figured I’d read a little bit of it and then get down to work. Then I read a little more, […]
Hrm… When it was teased that Batman killed for the custom-human-trafficker known as “Mother” because he wanted a Robin more suited for the job than Dick Grayson, I knew it was all a fake-out. As should anyone else who has been reading “Batman,” and superhero comics in general, for a reasonable amount of time. My […]
Wonder twins Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon are back and this time they’re adapting a short story from Neil Gaiman. Dark Horse has made a small cottage industry of getting top-flight creators — John Bolton, P. Craig Russell, and Michael Zulli — to adapt shorts from Gaiman over the years, and “How to Talk” is […]
Yeah, there were lots of interesting comics titles announced in the run-up to Comic-Con from Marvel. I liked the fact that Al Ewing’s “Avengers” titles will be continuing on in “U.S.Avengers” and “Ultimates [Squared].” The idea of the new “Champions” series being made up of teen superheroes opposed to the events of “Civil War II” […]
Yup, fine. Between driving down on Friday and hanging out with Steve afterwards and on Saturday, I probably spent less time at the con than I have in past years. There was still plenty of rummaging through the half-off bins as well as the four panels I attended, and fun was had in these activities. […]
There has been some consternation over the fact that America Chavez has not been given a solo series over at Marvel yet. Well, her creators have decided to take matters into their own hands over at Image. Joe Casey and Nick Dragotta — Wait, you didn’t think I meant Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie after […]
So, how about that Frank Cho walking of his job of providing variant covers for Greg Rucka’s “Wonder Woman” run? I was tempted to take the artist’s side at first since I feel he gets a lot of flack for having a style where all the women default to “sexy” and the various “Outrage!” sketch […]
As I write this, Comic-Con is almost upon us. That means there are all sorts of announcements, official and otherwise, about upcoming titles from the major publishers hitting the internet. In the case of Dark Horse, that includes “Ether” a five-issue miniseries from writer Matt Kindt and artist David Rubin about an inter-dimensional explorer whose […]
Jason Aaron and Chris Bachalo (with his loyal army of inkers) are ideally suited to tackling the adventures of Marvel’s Sorcerer Supreme. The writer, through his runs on “Wolverine and the X-Men” and “Thor,” has shown that he knows how to handle the strangest parts of this shared universe, tossing off the most over-the-top details […]
