Just so you know, the podcast has been pushed back a week due to some issues, but we should have it ready to go next week.  We’ll also see about doing a catch-up one the week after to get things back on schedule.  Until then… I hadn’t planned on buying this but after re-reading “The […]

Roy Thomas’ return to the character he wrote for so many years at Marvel wraps up in suitably entertaining fashion.  The first two-thirds of this collection involve Conan getting mixed up in a coup in the Aquilonian capital city of Tarantia and then having to fight his way through the catacombs mixed with crawling bugs, […]

The title character actually takes a backseat in this volume after the first issue due to… ah, “lingering” issues from his encounter with the scourge virus.  Instead, the focus here is on Robot and Monster Girl and what exactly happened to them during the time they were in the Flaxan dimension.  Though they told everyone […]

After “My Friend Dahmer” rocked my world, I was left with a desire to finally track down more work from its creator “Derf” Backderf.  Surprisingly, “Punk Rock and Trailer Parks” shares more than a few commonalities with the author’s latest work.  Both touch on the utter dullness of small-town life, take place in high school, […]

Christopher Hastings, the writer/artist of this series, dedicated this volume to his friends Jeff and Holly for being such supportive friends, and because one of them gave him the idea for dinosaurs being bounced off the Earth into space.  From there, these dinos traveled frozen through space, being bombarded by cosmic radiation until they arrived […]

The first volume of “Wonder Woman” by writer Brian Azzarello and artists Cliff Chiang and Tony Akins was one of the best surprises of the “New 52.”  Azzarello is a writer who rarely aims to give readers what they want and usually shoots for trying to give us something that we didn’t know we needed.  […]

Issue #36 of “Prophet” comes out this month.  While it wasn’t one of my “ten best” of last year, it was a title that would’ve been on there had the list gone to twenty.  The first volume was just too bizarre, weird and unique to not be worthy of some notice.  However, come this month […]

The upcoming “Age of Ultron” event will be serialized at a blistering pace even by Marvel’s current standards.  April will be its second month and if everything goes as planned we’ll be up to issue six by the end of it.  That being said, if everything does go as planned, we’ll have been treated to […]

Though it pains me to say it, the first volume of this series was somewhat of a letdown.  After Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips consistently hit it out of the park with “Sleeper,” “Criminal,” and “Incognito,” I was expecting “Fatale” to do just the same.  Unfortunately, the story, the setting and the characters all felt […]

According to Rich Johnston, pre-orders for the “Hyrule Historia” currently stand at 250,000.  It’s all the more impressive when you consider that this is a $35 hardcover, but I’m curious as to why he’s reporting on this.  Sure it has a “Skyward Sword” comic inside, but it’s not really comics news, nor the first such […]
