Comic Book Review: ‘Batman’ #11
The end of the huge ‘Court of Owls’ story arc finally comes to a close this issue and I’m not certain how to feel about that. The stories with the ‘Court of Owls’ and the ‘Night of the Owls’ have been all over the place. Some (mostly in this main Batman title) have... -
Neil Gaiman To Return To ‘The Sandman’ In 2013

Comic Book Review: ‘Demon Knights’ #11

Comic Book Review: ‘Revival’ #1
Like the movie ‘Fargo,’ ‘Revival’ is a rural noir thriller that’s more than a little off beat. Set in Wisconsin instead of Minnesota, the characters still have a similar accent which adds to the uniqueness of the book. And it’s also set during... -
Comic Book Review: ‘The Walking Dead’ #100
As an English major, one of my Lit professors once told us that when reading books for school, ideally we should read them at least twice, because the first time you read a book, you’re reading simply to find out what happens next. Just for story. As English majors, we... -

Comic Book Review: ‘Avengers Vs. X-Men’ #7
Act II of Marvel’s huge crossover event of the summer continues with this new issue of ‘Avengers vs. X-Men’ where Matt Fraction takes the reins and almost gives me a heart attack! Obviously, I’m not going to tell you why so as to not spoil anything, so you’ll just have...
