The Mighty Avengers #27 This is one of the few books, I picked up that was beginning a storyline. This Avengers title is unique, in that it does not tie in with the Dark Reign event going on in Marvel. I claim to not be into cosmic level heroes or villains, but in a book […]
I’ve really been looking forward to Vertigo Crime. See, even though I’ve never read 100 Bullets, which I hear is the ultimate example of the genre, I love crime comics. I especially loved the recent Darwyn Cooke graphic novel from IDW, Parker: The Hunter, which put me in the mood for more new comic crime […]
X-Factor #45-46 If you’re only reading one X-Title, this should NOT be it. This book is crap, man. Seriously, it’s a bit steaming. The characters are a flat and uninteresting motley crew of F-list characters. You stick Aron Head in this book with no powers, and it’s more interesting. Luke Meyer would have too much […]
Let’s hope this doesn’t go the way of DC’s Milestone characters who, as it’s revealed in this interview, are pretty f*ckin’ done with the DC Universe. They walked in, kicked Superman’s @$$, killed a coupla Teen Titans, then said “screw you, I’m going home!” (editor’s note: none of that sh*t happened) However, in the same […]
Amazing Spider-Man #602 This book is just so-so. Not bad or good…it just….was. Fans of the Chameleon will enjoy this issue. I didn’t. A couple things I noticed though, in regards to the Spider-Man series in general. The first is that in this issue I found out that J. Jonah Jameson is the mayor of […]

Exiles #5 Here’s an idea, take some random mutants (and Black Panther for some reason), from alternate timelines, put them together…and have them roam through even more alternate timelines! If your first thought is, “That sounds pretty sucky.”, do not be alarmed. It only indicates that you are still sane. I’m a fan of Blink. […]

More than 20 years before George Lucas started his long, downhill slide with Ewoks, H. Beam Piper gave us fuzzies or, by their appropriate scientific designation, Fuzzy fuzzy holloway zarathrustra. Little Fuzzy, a 1963 Hugo nominee for Best Novel, is terrific science fiction. With its themes of corporate espionage, civil rights, and climate change, this […]
Back in the old days (mid 90’s or so), I wasn’t a big fan of Deadpool. Sure, he’s a mutant with ties to Wolverine’s origin and occasionally made appearances in the X-Books, but I always considered his books to be as close to the X-Men as Ghostrider. Now, that I’m back in, and branching out […]
