X-Men: Before the Age of Revelation

In case you haven’t heard, the entire “X-Men” line underwent a three-month event called “Age of Revelation” at the end of last year.  It involved sixteen(!) different three-issue miniseries plus prologue, opening, and closing issues that showed us what the world was like after Apocalypse’s Heir, Doug Ramsey – formerly known as  Cypher, now known […]

Justice League Unlimited/World’s Finest: We Are Yesterday

Since the new Justice League was formed, they’ve been battling against the shadowy threat represented by the superterror organization known as Inferno.  Though they initially appeared to be a new force for evil, the truth is that they’re actually the latest incarnation of the Legion of Doom!  Only the twist this time is that they’re […]

Dark Horse Penguin Picks: April 2026

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Innocent:  Rouge Omnibus vol. 2 I was legitimately glad to see the first “Innocent:  Rouge” omnibus in these solicitations after the end of the original series.  After reading it, I was successively thrilled, perplexed, and engaged at the further adventures of the Sanson family with Marie now centered as the protagonist, and Charles-Henri […]

Image Advance Arrivals: April 2026

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Transformers vol. 5:  Generation One Vol. 4 saw original writer Daniel Warren Johnson wrap up the story he’d been telling since the start to somewhat disappointing effect (as far as I was concerned).  A lot of stuff happened, but it didn’t really support the epic scope the writer was trying to achieve or […]

DC Solicitation Sneaks: April 2026

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Wonder Woman by Tom King vol. 4:  The Island of Mice and Men Diana may have defeated The Sovereign, the secret King of America, in vol. 3, but that just means she can get back to dealing with Amazon business.  Like finding out what happened to the missing Amazon who went on a […]

Marvel Penguin Picks: April 2026

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Ultimate Spider-Man by Jonathan Hickman vol. 4:  One Last Day As if I could put anything else here after giving the top spot to this title in my Best of 2025 podcast.  It’s not just that I’m looking forward to seeing how Hickman wraps up his Spider-saga, or the fact that I’m expecting […]

The Great British Bump-Off: Kill or Be Quilt

Shauna Wickle is on vacation!  She’s borrowed her Uncle Jim’s houseboat and is sailing downriver in search of some good memories.  However, after she’s distracted by charming bad-boy Bryn, Shauna winds up damaging the boat and now needs to get a job to pay for repairs.  Fortunately for her, Bryn’s mom owns a fabric store […]

Redcoat vol. 2

Before I get into the review of “Redcoat” vol. 2 proper, let me tell you a bit about “Revenger.”  This was an anime series that Steve and I watched a few years back that has generally been forgotten by anime fandom.  It was about a group of bishounen in a port town in feudal Japan […]
