DARK AGES #1 (Dark Horse, $3.99): Medieval barbarians vs. aliens-slash-demons. You won't find it in the history books, but then they don't include Conan's Hyborian Age, do they? Anyway, this book is by Dan Abnett and I.N.J. Culbard, who bro
In case you're wondering, this is the Old 52 versions of these two heroines.
That's important, because it means they're both wearing fishnet stockings -- which I'm guessing is the reason someone got the idea to pair these two characters, and why the
Read more…I like that Geoff Johns has grafted a motivation to Barry Allen. If you've missed it, it's that Barry's mother was killed by a blur, and his father was convicted for the murder and went to jail. So he became a forensic scientist because he's obsessed
Read more…I like this book for every reason that I dislike Red Lanterns.
Sinestro has understandable motivations and purpose -- and he acts on them. What he does isn't always pretty, but at least he does something.

Anyway, this zombie isn't in combat at all -- he appears to be involved in a modern-day Home
Read more…I have no idea why DC sent me this for review, since they haven't sent me any others for a long time, so I have no idea what's going on.
But you know what? It's a good little issue. It moves several plots along that I know nothing about, but the char
Read more…I'm actually enjoying the "Doomed" storyline. But this book really made me mad.
It opens with a Daily Planet front-page story (or top of web-page story) by Lois Lane that, as is usual in comics, demonstrates a complete lack of understanding by comic-

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
