Comic Book Review: Miss Fury #1
One of the first female super heroes (she predates even Wonder Woman), Miss Fury returns in the Dynamite fashion, in a gritty series that attempts to bridge the character’s original time period with the present. Miss Fury is bored socialite Marla Drake, who journeys to... -
Starfest Enters the Doldrums of Middle America
For those stuck in the middle of America looking longingly towards the coasts with their PAX, and Comic Cons, there is hope. Denver’s own Starfest is here to help. Is it as large as anything on the East Coast con circuit? No, but it has been steadily growing for years... -
Comic Book Preview: ‘Superior Spider-Man’ #9
Currently, Otto Octavius is dealing with a lot of things in the pages of ‘Superior Spider-Man’. In the last issue, he had to deal with Ultron and his drones, who have managed to take over the world, but with little success. Before that, he started to get on a few people’s... -
George Lucas’ ‘The Star Wars’ Getting Comic Adaptation
April 1st is always a hard day for news sites. Sure, we can have some fun by putting out news like this or this, but it’s sometimes hard to differentiate between real news and jokes. Because this news came out on April Fools’ Day, I was hesitant to run with this story, but... -
‘Comic Book Men: Comic Charades’ – Recap
First of all, I’d like to apologize for missing the last episode of ‘Comic Book Men’ and not providing a recap for it. I got caught up in other things and it just slipped my mind. It’s a shame too because I liked the episode very much and am anticipating the debut issue... -
What’s On Comic Book Stands – April 3rd
Here is the list of new comics, trade paperbacks and more shipping on 4/3/2013. As always, check with your retailer for availability, as not all releases may be on sale in all areas at the same time. Bleak and brutal writing at its finest Abe’s most defining moments are now... -
Get A Glimpse Of The ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Comic Epilogue
So far, after what very little we know about the film coming out on May 17th, we have certainly been living in darkness. The Countdown comics for ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ have been asking more questions than answering them, and we still don’t know who the... -
Comic Book Review: Revival #8
Were eight issues in, and already this plot is getting very complicated. So get out your sticky notes, and filing folders! Let’s see if we can keep this straight. But first, remember how last issues left us with body parts strewn across the snow? Well, we don’t really... -
Comic Book Review: ‘X-Men Legacy’ #8
X-Men Legacy has taken a radical departure from the pre-NOW! tales of X-Men. Currently, the entire point of view is through the eyes of Legion (and his multiple personalities) as he tries to make sense of his father’s death. In a world where his father actually was what... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ #1
Before this issue dropped, we were given a preview issue of the Guardians of the Galaxy where we saw the origin story of Star-Lord. Yes it’s about the 30th time his story has been told in print, but with the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy movie and the series always... -
Comic Book Review: ‘FF’ #5
While the Fantastic Four have reached the Age of Ultron, the FF universe hasn’t quite yet. Which is a shame since we do see the results of at least one FF character in the latest issue of the Fantastic Four. This entire series has had so many lighthearted moments although... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Uncanny Avengers’ #5
There was a huge bomb dropped in ‘Uncanny Avengers’ #4. After Havok and his team sent Red Skull and his S-Men packing, the Avengers Unity Division were able to celebrate their first win. Then, towards the end of the book, we jumped forward in time to see a ‘Days of Future... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Age of Ultron’ #3
Over the course of two issues, the stage has been set in the world of ‘Age of Ultron’. After taking some huge losses and an extended time of mourning, the remaining members of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes have finally concocted a plan to deal with this Ultron problem and it... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Superior Spider-Man’ #6AU
A big criticism that I’ve been hearing when it comes to ‘Age of Ultron’ is the portrayal of Peter Parker. As we all know by now, Otto Octavius transferred Parker’s mind into his own dying body so that he could take over the youthful body of his greatest foe, Spider-Man,... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Wolverine and the X-Men’ #27
Last time on ‘Wolverine and the X-Men’, we saw that Wolverine was deciding to take the worst of his class to the Savage Land to try to turn his troublemakers into a solid team. At the very least he was hoping he could either break them of some of their bad habits...
