“Mad Max:  Fury Road” director George Miller takes on “Man of Steel 2?”  That’s the rumor right now with all of the people who have been reporting it saying that it feels like little more than wishful thinking at this point.  It’s not entirely inconceivable as Miller was associated with a proposed “Justice League” movie […]

This volume starts off as so much fun!  We get a two-parter involving a former *ahem* daredevil known as the Stunt-Master who asks for Matt Murdock’s help in dealing with this new kid who has took his name.  Murdock agrees only after the new kid’s self-aggrandizing tactics drive the former Stunt-Master to suicide  What follows […]

In a realization that makes me feel old more than anything else, it’s been ten years since “Avengers Disassembled” was published.  This was the story that saw Bendis take over writing the “Avengers” and turned them into Marvel’s new best-selling team, bringing them a relevance they hadn’t seen in decades.  Whatever your feelings about that […]

To be honest, there was a lot that fell under the title of this review.  Some of it I still might get to at some point.  For now, I’ve just got a random grab-bag of series I’ve been reading (Thor:  God of Thunder vol. 4,  Loki:  Agent of Asgard vol. 2, Captain America vol. 5) […]

While “Senso” marked Stan Sakai’s return to his signature creation, this latest volume of “Usagi Yojimbo” finally catches the series up to where it stopped before going on hiatus.  It’s also one of the better volumes in recent memory.  Not just another great example of the consistent quality of the title, but featuring some excellent […]

It’s actually been a while since I’ve followed a Vertigo series that was cut down before it could finish its run.  Yet here we are with the third and final volume of “Hinterkind,” a title about the creatures of myth reclaiming the world from humans after an apocalyptic plague known as the Blight.  We get […]

…it’ll just be coming up later than usual due to some technical and logistics issues. Expect another review tomorrow.

Don’t let what’s said on the back cover fool you, this is not the end of Jonathan Hickman’s run.  As I’ve said many times before on this blog, “Secret Wars” is the true finale and we’ll have to wait until November *crosses fingers* to see how that turns out.  So if you’re thinking that this […]

Six printings of the first issue.  Sales that remain consistent (and even go up).  Near-universal acclaim across the internet.  These are the things that can be used to describe “Ms. Marvel,” one of the most successful new characters that has come out of Marvel in quite some time.  With Carol Danvers now “Captain Marvel,” the […]
