Jason Aaron and Ron Garney have given us a lot of good stories together at Marvel over the years.  Most of them involving Wolverine.  For a writer and artist who like working together so much, it was only a matter of time before they decided to work on something creator-owned to show what they could […]

When does Remender’s penchant for breaking his protagonists down work best in a story?  That would be when the protagonist in question is getting ready to be replaced.  So even though Steve Rogers feels like a tired man out of time who is also one step behind the bad guys in his fight against the […]

It’s the crossover we never knew we needed!  That’s what I’d like to be able to tell everyone about this long-awaited team up between the legendary barbarian and the cheese-dip wanderer.  While it’s great to have more Groo comics — and see his creator, Sergio Aragones, back in action — after a lengthy hiatus, this […]

This is the volume that made me miss the talking chainsaw. It was a minor detail from the initial volume, collecting the self-published issues of “The Goon” before creator Eric Powell brought it to Dark Horse.  This was a thing that could be described as  crazy, weird, and at odds with everything else in the […]

I may bitch about the abysmal shipping schedule for “Powers,” but it’s still a series which shows that Bendis and Oeming do great work together.  It just takes them a lot longer to do it these days (and the link I provided being a rare exception to the rule).  One of the reasons for that […]

This is the final volume in the “Nemo” trilogy of graphic novellas spun off from Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill’s “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen”. It’s the least of the three, but not because of the story that’s being told. Taking place in 1975, Janni Nemo is now a very old woman looking to settle […]

Call it a twenty-issue victory lap.  After Peter David managed a 100-plus issue run on the latest incarnation of “X-Factor,” he leapt right into the next one with a substantially different cast and setup.  It’s been fun, assuming you’re a fan of David’s style, but nothing all that special.  You get  the feeling that after […]

Now this is more like it.  I threw around a lot of comparisons to Dan Slott’s “She-Hulk” run in my previous review, but the work of Charles Soule and Javier Pulido does more to set itself apart in this volume.  Things kick off with a fun superhero team-up as She-Hulk and Hellcat work together with […]

Adam Warren has been publishing assorted one-offs relating to his bondage-prone, self-esteem challenged superheroine over the years.  Not only do they serve as a stopgap for providing Emp-related content in the years that we’re not graced with a new volume, but we also get to see his world and characters interpreted by a series of […]
