(With Image leaving Diamond, the title for this column had to change.  I forgot about finding a new one until it came time to post this, so it might change in the future if I think of something better.) Above-the-Board Recommendation: What’s the Furthest Place From Here? vol. 2 Yeah, I’m glad to see that […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: DC Horror Presents:  Sgt. Rock vs. The Army of the Dead HC There are some very slim pickings this month when it comes to stuff that I’m looking forward to reading from DC.  Which is why the hardcover edition of this miniseries is getting this slot more for the potential it represents rather […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Miracleman by Gaiman & Buckingham:  The Silver Age Yes, it really is nice when there’s an overwhelmingly obvious pick for this slot.  They don’t come more overwhelming than the continuation of a legendary series from an equally legendary creative team over thirty years after their run was interrupted.  Lots of people (including yours […]

“Hellfire Gala ‘22” took place between this volume and the last, but it’s not necessary reading to enjoy what’s here.  “Judgment Day” may be more appropriate since the first two issues tie in harmlessly to that event.  They won’t add anything to your enjoyment of that event; though, it’s still nice to see the team […]

Nina Ryan was a hired killer who murdered over 150 people for the Boisseau Cartel before she was caught by the authorities.  She would’ve been put to death, except things are a little different in this near-future world.  Neurological examination revealed lesions on her brain that, when removed, took away her homicidal impulses.  This didn’t […]

The Avengers have to go back in time… to save the future!  That’s the thrust of this volume as Mephisto begins his assault on the timestream to wipe out the one thing which stands in his way of multiversal domination:  The Avengers of One Million B.C.  So the Avengers of the Present Day have to […]

Temerity “Merit” Aster and her Delving partner Clem spent a year in the dungeon underneath the former’s hometown of Oddgoat.  They both survived the experience, but emerged to find that the town is now more of a city, complete with an infrastructure to process and facilitate everything related to exploring the dungeon.  It’s not really […]

Joy Corrigan is an EN.VOI.  That means she’s the top enforcer to the leader of a Trust, the giant city-states that make up the world of the future.  Kathryn Menteuse leads the Jonado Trust and the bond between her and her EN.VOI is strong.  Until one day when Joy becomes compromised.  Now everyone she thought […]
