It looks like most of the “Rebirth” launches have gone down all right.  I’ve been reading some good reviews for most of them and there don’t appear to be any obvious misfires in the bunch.  More mixed appears to be the company’s Hanna-Barbara relaunch.  “Scooby Apocalypse” and “Wacky Raceland” appear to not be quite what […]

Not much to say about the company this month.  There was the press release about the true crime graphic novel they published a few years back, “Green River Killer,” that went out today.  Turns out that the graphic novel, written by Jeff Jensen with art from Jonathan Case, is going to be made into a […]

Writer Alex De Campi and artist Carla Speed McNeil struck a near-perfect balance of awfulness and excitement in the first volume of this series.  There was always the chance that something could go wrong and that balance would be upset, but vol. 2 shows that these creators really know what they’re doing with this story […]

Jeff Lemire takes on the “X-Men” and Bendis’ run isn’t even in the ground or cold yet over here.  (But that’s coming, sooner that I was expecting.)  The bad news is that due to Marvel’s decision to give additional prominence to the Inhumans — and get their own “X-Men”-esque film/TV franchise that they can have […]

Comics in digital format are making up an increasingly large part of what I read.  While having a physical edition of what I’m reading is great, there are times when it doesn’t make sense to buy a comic in that format for two reasons.  One is that they’re on sale, and the other is that […]

Nick Spencer’s other “Captain America” title may be the one grabbing all of the headlines, but it’ll be a while until it gets its first collected edition.  What?  You were expecting something snappier as I transition into talking about Sam Wilson’s adventures as Cap?  Well, that’s kind of a problem with this volume even though […]

This volume collects the final six issues of the “Kanan” series, the first one of Marvel’s “Star Wars” line to be cancelled.  Getting the axe after twelve issues may make it seem like this series was a creative misfire, but that’s not entirely the case here.  If anything, “Kanan” was hamstrung by the decision to […]

Grant Morrison tackling a continuity-free reinvention of “Wonder Woman” with frequent and talented artistic collaborator Yanick Paquette:  It sounds like can’t-miss proposition.  The good news on that front is that “Wonder Woman:  Earth One” is a solid read that is ultimately worth its hardcover cover price.  The thing here is it’s Paquette’s art that dazzles […]

I honestly didn’t think we’d ever get to this point, but the end of the Mignolavese appears to be nigh.  What with the final issue of “Hellboy in Hell” arriving and all of the hoopla that generated due to its status as the “last” story involving the character and the buildup towards the end of […]

After picking up all of those volumes of “TMNT” digitally (and vol. 13 while I was reading through them), this marks the first volume of their ongoing series from IDW that I’ve actually had to wait for.  This managed to happen at the most dramatic point in the story so far as the most recent […]
