    Posted Sunday, December 16th, 2012 07:45 pm GMT -4 by
    While I was lukewarm on issue one and two of ‘Rorschach’, the latest issue has quickly catapulted to my second favorite title that I’m reading under the ‘Before Watchmen’ banner after ‘Nite Owl’. Issue 3 brought a lot of things together and prepared us for the finale...
  • Comic Book Review: ‘Iron Man’ #4

    Posted Sunday, December 16th, 2012 03:40 pm GMT -4 by
    In my last ‘Iron Man’ review, I mentioned that heroes, like ogres, are like onions and have layers. In issue #3, we saw a compassionate layer, but in this issue, Tony Stark shows a darker side than we’re used to. In fact, it almost seemed as if he was an entirely different...

  • Comic Book Review: ‘The Walking Dead’ #105

    Posted Friday, December 14th, 2012 03:41 pm GMT -4 by
    Having read this series from the start, and having endured man a tense moment, I have to say I think this issue may have been the tensest of all!  That’s saying quite a lot! Last issue, Carl manned-up and stowed away on Negan’s supply truck before opening fire with...
