Darwyn Cooke's December DC Variant Covers
These are all just gorgeous. It's a shame that the current DC universe is nothing like them, however.
Read more…This book sets up four different time periods, with protagonists/lead investigators in each with their own particular problems, who are investigating mysterious murders that are identical in each time period, not only down to cause of death, not only
Read more…Pretty good book, but it's weird that it's a one-shot.
Basically Omega advances the story we've seen in Batman and ... since the death of Damian, and doesn't come to a conclusion. Instead, it sets up the next round of stories.
Which promise to be goo
Read more…Man, I really loved issue #1, which set up all kinds of wheels within wheels, question marks and subterfuge. Plus iy gave a Dick Grayson I could believe in and get behind -- one who wasn't a milquetoast Batman clone, but was instead a veteran espiona

After the events of New Avengers #21-23, it will be hard to categorize Namor as either a hero or an anti-hero. His actions are so atrocious that I can't see any of his allies not trying to bring him to justice. Or have him

THE DELINQUENTS #1 (of 4, Valiant, $3.99): The new kid on the block launches a miniseries combining the stars of their two funniest books, Quantum & Woody and Archer & Armstrong. It's superhero-ish action, but should also serve as an antido
Read more…One of you Star Wars gurus chime in here and tell me if these aren't books originally published by Dark Horse. Who are right now trying to reprint all their Star Wars books as fast as they can before they lose the franchise Dec. 31. So will there be
Read more…Haven't read it yet, but the main thing that catches the attention of even an unobservant fellow such as myself is that there isn't a single X-Man or FFer on the cover. Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers), Iron Fist, Nova, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Capta
Read more…There wasn't much in the last issue, but this one has some good background on Ulga. None on Julifer yet, but I'm hoping for a Captains Courageous sort of transformation. On her and some of the others anyway, so far I can't see much difference between
