It doesn’t seem like Mr. Wen is having a bad day, at first.  We see him making his way through Vancouver out to a remote point in the countryside as he deals with inconveniences both minor and eccentric.  The rain.  Trying to find a pack of his favorite cigarettes.  Bumping into a guy at the […]

The story of Keyhouse and the current generation of the Locke family wrapped up quite well in “Locke & Key’s” sixth volume “Alpha & Omega.”  That hasn’t stopped writer Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodriguez from creating new stories set in the same universe.  They’ve just been doing it whenever they have a good idea […]

In issue #75 of “The Walking Dead,” Robert Kirkman made good on a promise to a letter-writer he answered in issue #2 of the series.  That’s when he promised… ALIENS!  Which is why issue #75 featured an out-of-continuity backup story illustrated by “Invincible” artist Ryan Ottley where Rick Grimes woke up in a sci-fi version […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Monstress vol. 7:  Devourer Am I excited for this volume?  You damn well better believe it!  Writer Marjorie Liu and artist Sana Takeda have created a beautiful, intricate, well-thought-out fantasy epic with memorable characters and a story that continues to surprise me with where it goes.  My admiration of this series was re-ignited […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Catwoman:  Lonely City It’s been ten years since “Fools Night” in Gotham City.  That was the night that claimed the lives of Batman, The Joker, Commissioner Gordon, and Nightwing.  Not Catwoman, though, she just got sent to prison.  Now she’s finally out and Gotham City is a much safer and less crazy place […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Star Wars:  Visions #1 This is an odd round of solicitations because a lot of comics from the previous batch wound up getting delayed and are re-solicited here.  Among the actually-new comics being solicited here is this one-shot based on the “Star Wars:  Visions” animation anthology.  Surprisingly, this story based on “The Duel” […]

Written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Andy Kubert, “Batman:  The Detective” has a very high-profile creative team for a miniseries that doesn’t have any direct connection to the current goings-on in the “Batman” books or wider DC Universe.  That raises expectations a bit since you figure the story they’re telling has to be special […]

You know how I said the podcast was going to be up either tonight or Saturday?  Logistics reared their head again and it’ll be up on Wednesday.  All I can say about that is… HALLOWEEN! If you think about it, the “Reckless” series has been building up to this point.  As she’s become a bigger […]

No podcast… yet.  There were some unavoidable logistics problems over the weekend and John, Steve, and I haven’t been able to connect yet.  We’re looking to record either Friday or Saturday, at which we’ll upload it once we’re done.  Until then… The last time we saw Edison Hark, he was investigating a series of murders […]
