This comic comes with a cover price of $25. It’s not worth paying $25 to read. That’s partly because it’s only 152 pages. It’s mostly true because it’s just kind of “okay” in terms of quality. However, if you’re like me and you’re a fan of Bendis who also found it in a half-off bin […]

The gated community of Wilmhurst is an exclusive one even by the regular standards of these things.  After all, it’s made up of every kind of slasher movie villain type as they cool their heels between rampages.  The unkillable monster.  The family of cannibal hillbillies.  The serial killer whose spirit is trapped in a doll.  […]

Jack Xaver, formerly the superhero known as Crossjack, may still be hated by his fellow townspeople, but he’s marginally less hated by its sheriff after what they went through with Camo Crusader in the previous volume.  Which is why he’s asking Jack to look into the death of a high school girl whose autopsy says […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: The Joker:  The Man Who Stopped Laughing – The Complete Series One Joker was bad enough.  Now there are two and they’ve both got very different ideas about how to get back on top of Gotham’s criminal underworld.  One thinks that the best way to do it is to assemble an army of […]

This is the start of a new series written by Rick Remender.  Does that mean we’re getting something that’s good and makes me want to read more?  Promising but with issues?  Depressing enough to get me to stop reading the series after one volume?  Or something that shows the writer trying to evolve his established […]

When Lady Haste was arrested for attempted murder, it was thought to be the beginning of the end for organized crime in Stellar City.  That turned out to not be the case at all as a series of gangland slayings have shown that control of the underworld is still very much up for grabs.  This […]

Humanity has lost.  Vampires now rule the Earth under their king and their superhuman army is devoted to rounding up the remaining humans to serve as their cattle.  As well as rooting out any remaining resistance, of which there is plenty.  Batgirl, Black Canary, John Constantine, Steel, Green Arrow, Jayna – the remaining Wonder Twin […]
