Comic Book Review: ‘All-Star Western’ #0
It’s time for another “zero issue” ‘before New 52’ origin story. This time around, it’s the backstory of everyones favorite gun-slinging, no-nonsense bounty hunter… Jonah Hex! Be warned. If you don’t already know the history of Jonah Hex, there will be SPOILERS! The... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Secret Avengers’ #31
After the events of the last issue, Taskmaster is now wielding the powers of the three crowns and he controls an army of villains and heroes. The only two that were not affected were Ant-Man and Venom, and now it’s up to them to stop The Abyss from spreading beyond the city. I... -
DC Nation Returns – New Green Lantern, Young Justice and Super Best Friends Forever!
After taking a few (LONG) months off, DC Nation returns with new episodes of Green Lantern, Young Justice: Invasion and two new shorts including my absolute favorite Super Best Friends Forever! Warner Brothers and Cartoon Network have released clips of all three to promote... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Aquaman’ #0
Like many other heroes in the New 52, Aquaman is now something of a blank slate. Certain past events have been depicted or at least teased, but clearly much is different about the new Aquaman. This issue takes us back six years to focus on his life after his Atlantean nature... -
Comic Book Review: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ #694
When Spider-Man’s sidekick (or is it the other way around?), Alpha, appeared in ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ #692, it was a fun and interesting intro. Then last issue things ramped up since Spider-Man was slowly losing control of Alpha. The boy was basking in his celebrity, belittling... -
Comic Book Review: ‘The Flash’ #0
So far, as with any event of this sort, DC’s “zero issues” are hit and miss. Most of them are ‘before New 52’ stories and give us new retellings of some of the DC heroes and highlight the changes to the universe. This issue of ‘The Flash’ pretty much the same thing.... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Captain Marvel’ #4
Captain Marvel’s time travel adventure in World War II continues here, opening with a lovely and perfectly fitting dedication to Sally Ride. Carol, allied with a rag tag squadron of female pilots, squares off against alien flying pyramids. At first things don’t... -
Comic Book Review: ‘FF’ #22
Rather than continuing directly from ‘FF’ #21, this issue tells a tale that overlaps with ‘Fantastic Four’ #610. In that issue, A.I.M. had created a new nation close off the coast of the United States. The President sent in Reed Richards to negotiate some sort of treaty... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Phantom Lady’ #2
Last issue introduced Jennifer Knight, a secret journalist sleeping with a rising crime boss in order to get close enough to avenge the deaths of her parents. We got a brief glimpse into the future of Jennifer operating as the super hero Phantom Lady, but this issue reveals... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Superman’ #0
In another ‘before New 52’ story, we’re treated not to the actual origins of Kal-El (aka Superman) but rather to the life of Jor-El, Kal’s father, as he struggles to save Krypton from an impending disaster. It’s a story that’s been told in countless incarnations over... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates’ #16
America… F*** YEAH! That’s what I kept hearing in my head as I read this issue. Cap quickly accepts the position as President of the United States… well, what’s left of them, anyway. Last issue, the American people wrote him in as a candidate for the... -
Comic Book Review: ‘National Comics: Rose And Thorn’
The latest ‘National Comics’ one-shot – essentially a pilot for a potential series – features Rose Canton, a former mental patient trying to make it as a normal high school student. As if that weren’t daunting enough, her pesky alternate personality,... -
‘The Strain’ Joins Felicia Day’s Geek And Sundry YouTube Channel
Dark Horse Comics, the largest independent American comic book and manga publisher, will be bringing Guillermo del Toro (‘Hellboy’, ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’) and novelist Chuck Hogan (‘Prince of Thieves’) vampire horror trilogy ‘The Strain’... -
Robert Kirkman And Tony Moore Settle ‘The Walking Dead’ Lawsuits
After months of litigation, the saga of ‘The Walking Dead’ lawsuits has come to a conclusion and an agreement settlement. Last February, Tony Moore sued Robert Kirkman in the California state court claiming he is entitled to up to 50% of the proceeds from ‘The Walking Dead’... -
Comic Book Review: ‘Before Watchmen: Nite Owl’ #3
Oh, what a difference a few issues make. When ‘Before Watchmen’ began, ‘Nite Owl’ was my least favorite title in this event and ‘Comedian’ was my most favorite. However, after the last issue of each book, I’ve come to appreciate Nite Owl more. For one thing, JMS...
