Read more…There is some slight duplication between the recently released hardcover Archie Firsts and the long available Best of the Forties tpb. The focus of the latter is on stories from the 1940s (Duh!), whereas the former concentrates on presenting first ap
Read more…I've been reading The Best American Comics, 2009 (last year's edition, guest edited by Charles Burns). I didn't pay much attention to Jessica Abel & Matt Madden's Preface until I was almost done. Here's some of their opening argument, which I though
Read more…Let's see....Anthro and family celebrate the winter solstice, Jonah Hex has a Hanukkah adventure, John Stewart teaches a tyro Green Lantern that sometimes religious holidays can be creepy and weird, Superman attends a Thanksgiving parade and meets th
Read more…I finally read Batman, Incorporated (Bat, Inc) #1 and was impressed by the maturity, for lack of a better word, that Grant Morrison has now given Bruce Wayne. He seems more focused yet less obsessed. He has found (for now) an inner peace. It is still
Read more…Variety tells us that Alias is being adapted for television:
"Twilight" screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg plans to adapt an edgy female Marvel character for her next TV project.Rosenberg is the writer and exec producer on "AKA Jessica Jones," which isRead more…
This issue deals with the aftermath of the events depicted last issue and showcases the return of Batman, the return of Superman, and the transformation of Hal Jordan into Parallax. I was surprised that they correctly pointed out that Green Lantern

Archie and Reggie are running against each other for student body president. Archie’s campaign manager, Veronica, flies Archie on her father’s private jet to an Obama photo op, which they then spin into an endorsement. In reaction, Reggie has his pic
Read more…Wow, what a great year for Flash Gordon comics! First there was Al Williamson’s Flash Gordon, an over-sized hardcover which reprinted all of that artist’s work on the character over the decades. After that, was the Flash Gordon Comic Book Archives Vo
Read more…I'm thinking of getting a few of the Marvel Essentials. I'm leaning towards Marvel Team-up vol. 1 and Marvel two-in-one vol. 1. Or maybe two-in-one 1 & 2. What do you guys think? Is that too much team-ups? I'm looking for something light and fun and
Read more…Return of Bruce Wayne #6 - Good lord, Morrison wrapped everything happening in the last few years of DC in one book...and it made sense. With this, Batman is the center of the DC universe...hell, he may have created it!
Knight and Squire #2 - Paul
Read more…Dead Avengers is a three-issue mini-series which spun out of Chaos War. It features Captain Marvel, the Swordsman, Vision, Dr. Druid, the female Yellowjacket and Deathcry. If you’d’ve pressed me, I wouldn’t’ve been able to identify the latter two as
Read more…Green Lantern is perhaps my favorite DC character, but I haven’t been reading his adventures in his regular title for several years now. I picked up this one-shot for two reasons: 1) the unlikely pairing of two such different heroes, and 2) the creat

Jason, if you dropped out of comics around '96, what brought you back?
I ask because I suspect that many of us have similar storie
I had no interest whatsoever in the premise of this series, but because I’m reading the three-issue Ant-Man & Wasp series I thought I’d pick this one up to see the next phase in Henry Pym’s storied career. I had very low expectations, but I came away
Read more…CBR tells us that CrossGen is back, starting with Ruse (bringing back Waid and Guice on it, too!) and Sigil by Mike Carey and Leonard Kirk. Keen!
Read more…Hey gang,
My Christmas presents arrived and I opened them to discover that Thing From Another World included a special holiday gift certificate. Except I don't need to buy any more trades right now because I already got a bunch as a Christmas pres
