The last “She-Hulk” series we got was over decade ago and is still fondly remembered.  One of Dan Slott’s earliest gigs at Marvel, it showed him to be a writer who could channel the classic vibe of the company in a fun way that still felt modern.  We also got some great stories about the […]

I may not have liked “Maximum Minimum Wage” as much as Robert Kirkman, but I thought it was a fun character study about struggling cartoonist Rob Hoffman’s day-to-day life with work, friends, and his girlfriend Sylvia.  Now, creator Bob Fingerman has brought us a new series that picks up not too long after the original […]

Only keeping up with “Uncanny X-Men” in paperback form means that I’m not aware of the circumstances which have led to the title character splitting off from Cyclops’ group.  This development is not surprising, however, given Magneto’s uncompromising mindset and it makes for an engaging read in this new series from writer Cullen Bunn and […]

Sooooooo…  Marvel sure announced a whole lot of movies this week, didn’t they? Unlike the recently revealed slate of DC Comics films, I’m actually more optimistic about what we’re getting from Marvel.  After all, they’ve done a remarkably good job of keeping the quality consistent across all of their films so far as well as […]

Congratulations Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo!  You’ve just managed to pull off your own take on Batman’s earliest days of crimefighting and effectively write Frank Miller and David Mazzuchelli’s “Year One” out of continuity in the New 52.  More importantly, your take actually works on its own terms and doesn’t re-tread the same ground that […]

It’s been something I’ve wondered about for a while, and I finally got an answer this past Sunday.  Less than three years after Dale was killed off in “The Walking Dead,” it turns out that lovestruck recovering alcoholic Bob is the TV show’s “tainted meat.”  It was fairly obvious from the end of the second […]

I have certain expectations when it comes to this series.  Most of what’s on display in this volume is along those lines.  Dwarven snow swimmers, Rex attempting dwarvish ventriloquism, the means by which Rolf is “purified” and absolved of all crimes, and the way he’s poured in order to obtain the singular title object all […]

In case you haven’t heard, time is currently broken in the Marvel Universe and everyone in it is lucky that they’re still living in a linear timeline.  Most creators have stayed the hell away from this particular development, content to leave Bendis and Hickman to work it out for themselves in their titles.  Mark Waid, […]

The mystery surrounding DC’s two-month event that will cover their move from New York to Burbank continues to deepen.  Right now the word is that it will consist of twenty two-part series and one weekly title to tie them all together.  As to what it’s actually going to involve, that’s up in the air at […]
