…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 […]

“All-New Marvel NOW!” begins here! …Wait, that’s not it.  They already used that one about a year into “Marvel NOW!”  Let me see… Ah, “All-New, All-Different Marvel NOW!” begins here! You know the drill, with the wrap-up of “Secret Wars” — assuming that the final issue does arrive in October — Marvel serves up its […]

Kieron Gillen wraps up his tenure as chronicler of the adventures of Anthony Stark by smashing up two, two, TWO stories in one volume.  The first, which was set up at the end of vol. 4, involves Stark going head-to-head with Malekith, Lord of the Dark Elves, for control of the Mandarin Rings that he […]

The main problem I’ve had with the past few volumes of this title is that Bendis has been putting Miles Morales through situations that defined Peter Parker rather than building up the history and character of this latest Spider-Man.  Miles is a great character and seeing him put through the same paces as his predecessor […]

Well, the new trailer for “Batman vs. Superman” at least did a better job of putting the title conflict into perspective.  Still not completely sold on Zack Snyder’s ultra-serious approach to the DC Universe.  I’m more optimistic about the new “Batman” film coming from Ben Affleck, and supposedly co-written by him and Geoff Johns.  Now […]

Would you believe me if I said that this series about kids uncovering the history of Gotham’s most prestigious school involved no creepy weirdness, paranormal activity, or Batman?  Didn’t think so.  It all centers around Olive Silverlock, a student who is beginning her second year with a host of issues.  Not only does she wind […]
