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 […]
The last time we saw Mob and Reigen, they had been invited along with a host of other psychics to the house of a millionaire who was offering big bucks to the individual who could successfully exorcize his daughter. It seemed like it could be the basis for a reality show, until Reigen went in […]
You’d think he’d be satisfied with having just one fictional universe all to himself. Yet here we are with “Tales From the Outerverse,” a collection of stories set in the shared realms of “Baltimore” and “Joe Golem,” co-created by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden. These stories were meant to add characters to and flesh out […]
Vol. 1 of “The Department of Truth” was a well-constructed marvel which tied the idea that belief shapes the world to the history of conspiracy theories as they relate to America. It did this with a reveal at the end of the first issue that stands among the best I’ve seen in recent memory. Vol. […]
Vol. 2 of this series was held back by how it was about America’s relation to technology and how – stop me if you’ve heard this before – it wound up being used for the wrong purposes and things started going wrong! The good news here is that vol. 3 sees things get back on […]
Jenni, the serial killer who goes around killing men who prey on women, and the women who help them, is still at large when this volume opens. She’s almost at the end of her list of targets, too. That’s good because Zoe is closing in on her as well, and the bit of detective work […]
Gordon Goliath drives a food truck for a living. That in itself isn’t a remarkable occupation. Except in this case where he’s driving it through a world whose setting can easily be described as “Post-Apocalyptic.” Business in a world where a good portion of its population has been wiped out is as terrible as you’d […]
The Cates/Stegman (and friends) run was the first time I followed the ongoing adventures of Eddie Brock and his symbiote. In case anyone has forgotten, I was thoroughly entertained by that “Venom” series, particularly in the way that it served to build up the main character arc by arc and while also making major changes […]
