It took them a while, but Marvel has finally gotten around to delivering a miniseries set in the prequel era.  A lot of people think that mining the era of the much-derided “Prequel Trilogy” is a bad idea given how it automatically invokes (bad) memories of these films.  I disagree.  The very best “Star Wars” […]

The Logan we knew and loved for years is still dead.  I imagine he’ll stay that way for a few more years until people really start to miss him (and he’s burned off all that bad karma from killing all of his bastard children towards the end).  In the meantime, Marvel doesn’t have just one […]

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” […]

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 […]
