Vol. 1 was one of the biggest surprises I read last year, and one of my favorite titles as a result.  I thought I knew what to expect from the series, and writer James Tynion IV, going in only to be completely wrong.  This left me excited to see what the writer, and artist Alvaro […]

The title character is an undertaker/bounty hunter who is wandering through the dusty land when he comes across a village that is also the site of a massacre.  As he buries the bodies left to rot there, he’s informed by a kinsman that there’s one survivor, a baby, to this event.  Though he initially refuses […]

It’s a new era for the Justice League!  How do they celebrate it?  By helping Black Adam beat up a superpowered invader to his home country of Khandaq.  This invader goes by the name Brutus, and while there’s nothing unusual about his goals, there is something about his powers.  Namely that they have the same […]

“Judgment Day” may have been the final part of Kieron Gillen’s “Eternals” storyline, but it’s not the last of it.  That would be this collection which bundles the three one-shots he wrote – “Thanos Rises,” “Celestia,” and “The Heretic” – along with some old “Eternals” stories from the late 70’s to pad out the page […]

(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 […]
