Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong

The hope with a title like that is that you’re going to get some insane kaiju-fighting action as the  greatest heroes of the DCU (and some of its villains) mix it up with Godzilla and Kong (and some of the other creatures bumming around the Monsterverse).  No one is going in here expecting to see […]

The Human Target by King & Smallwood vol. 2

Christopher Chance has twelve days to live.  We found this out in vol. 1 after he drank a poison drink that was meant for Lex Luthor.  His investigation into who sent Luthor that drink has led to an eccentric list of suspects:  The entirety of the Justice League International.  Chance has already been able to […]

Dai Dark vol. 7

The last time we saw Zaha Sanko… HE WAS PRETTY MUCH FUCKED!  Not only was he at the mercy of Big Sparkle and his old school bully Hinata Boggo, but the former even managed to get one of his bones.  Which means that Big Sparkle can now have any wish he wants granted.  But where […]

Dark Horse Previews Picks: December 2024

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Beasts of Burden Omnibus If there’s one thing that bugs me about the solicitation for this omnibus collection of this series, it would be the fact how the four volumes collected here are described as “all four” and not “the first four.”  Which implies that we won’t be getting any more of Evan […]

DC Solicitation Sneaks: December 2024

Above-the-Board Recommendation: John Constantine, Hellblazer:  Dead in America Longtime readers will know that while I was really looking forward to Simon Spurrier’s take on Constantine, it didn’t wrap up in an enjoyable way.  While vol. 1 delivered on the goods I expect from a “Hellblazer” series, the finale of vol. 2 shows us just how […]

Oshi no Ko vol. 6

Now that the “Tokyo Blade” 2.5 stage play finally has a finished script it should be smooth sailing for the production from here on out.  Right?  Well, vol. 5 did leave off with Aqua suffering a panic attack when he tried to channel some emotion into his role and wound up doing it with some […]

Image Advance Arrivals: December 2024

Above-the-Board Recommendation: The Holy Roller Professional bowler Levi Cohen is forced to stop being one in order to care for his ailing father back in his hometown. Problem is that when he gets there, Levi finds out that it’s been overrun by neo-nazis.  What’s a former pro bowler to do in this kind of situation?  […]

Marvel Penguin Picks: December 2024

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Ultimates by Deniz Camp vol. 1:  Fix the World They live in a world gone wrong.  Where many of the superheroes that it was meant to have never came to be.  They’re going to fix that and Tony Stark, Captain America, Doom, Thor, and Sif have been working to create a network of […]

Space Mullet

Jonah, a former Space Marine, and his Zozobian friend Alphius are just a couple of space truckers trying to make ends meet the best they can in a harsh galaxy.  That’s doubly hard when Jonah is living with a price on his head for desertion after his last mission as a marine turned into a […]

Tales of the Unnamed: The Blizzard

Michael Verardi shot and murdered the serial killer responsible for the death of his on the footsteps of the courthouse where the trial was supposed to begin.  Now he’s in jail for murder and currently part of a prisoner transport to another facility in the Colorado mountains in the middle of a blizzard.  When their […]
