Marvel's Dark Ages begins this week, with the Thing, Sue Storm, Spider-Man, and Black Panther on the cover, masked in shadow.
Dark Ages #1 & Comic Book Reviews 9/1

Dark Ages brings us to another awesome alternate universe where any hero can die. Tom Taylor brings his style of storytelling to the Marvel universe and I expect it to keep its high quality for the rest of the series. In DC, other universes in DC’s Multiverse are fighting back against the universe we all […]

Elsa Bloodstone stands with the stars to her back, as one of my recommendations to be added into Midnight Suns.
Five Characters Marvel Midnight Suns Should Add

So with Marvel Midnight Suns, we have another great-looking Marvel game. It’s made by Firaxis, the developers behind XCom, the popular tactical sci-fi role-playing series. They’re known not only for their deep turn-based strategy combat but also for their punishing permadeath and RPG mechanics. While we shouldn’t expect to see permadeath with Marvel superheroes, we […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 5)

“Smart bitch power hour starts now.” – Andelyn Stella, 448 A.C.A.  “You’ll never be a Stormguard.” As Andy struggled along the stadium’s walls, she thought she heard her father’s failed apology piercing through her ears. In reality, she heard the sound of two Krones who had caught her drunk and alone. Two soldiers of the […]

Superman takes off his glasses to reveal his Secret Identity.
When Should a Superhero Reveal Their Secret Identity?

There’s a staple of superhero mythos that’s been around since the dawn of superhero comics. Something that doesn’t have a real-life equivalent, outside of being a spy, maybe. This makes it difficult to discern its morality even in context. This thing is the secret identity. The name heroes go by during their regular daily life […]

Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) leaps off a building, with Yelena (Black Widow), Anya (Spider-Girl), and Lucy behind her.
Black Widow #50 Milestone! Comic Book Reviews 8/25

Today, my favorite Avenger celebrates a big milestone. Black Widow officially reaches #50! Technically, the current series is only at issue #10, but with legacy numbering its #50. Honestly, for how old Black Widow’s character is, she should have reached it a long time ago, but better late than never. She’s one of Marvel’s best […]

The cover of the Trial of Magneto, Magneto reaches towards the viewer.
The Trial of Magneto #1 & Comic Book Reviews

Tom King is 50/50 this week, while the X-Men absolutely clean house with my pull list this week. Between the Trial of Magneto and Way of X, I thought X-Men was spoiling me. Then I read Marauders and X-Corp and knew that I was getting more X-goodness than I deserve. I understand that they’re not […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 4)

“We signed up for war, boys and girls, and it wasn’t going to wait for you to start.” – Andelyn Stella, 448 A.C.A.  Andy heard them coming first. The sound of greaves clanking against the marble floor set off her nerves.  The sound of Stormguard always set her off. Like the drunken fool she was, […]

The cover of I Am Batman #0, with Jace Fox suited up in the Batsuit, with dust and smoke surrounding him.
I Am Batman #0! Comic Book Reviews 8/11

The dominance of Batman on my tier list returns with I Am Batman and Batman: Urban Legends. They’re both excellent steps towards better representation, but I Am Batman falters a bit out the gate. It spends too much time setting up what previous Jace Fox series should have already established. But we can forgive the […]

Joke, as scene in Suicide Squad: Get Joker, stands in front of TV screens with the faces of Red Hood, Harley Quinn, and Wild Dog on them. He also holds a crowbar over his head.
Suicide Squad: Get Joker! Comic Book Reviews 8/4

We get a surprise Black Label book in Suicide Squad: Get Joker, and while its certainly edgy, it’s good too. It’s nice to see a new Black Label book that’s not about Batman after more were just announced last week. Hopefully it leads to more non-Batman Black Label books, though that would be surprising considering […]

Raydorn: The War in the Black (Chapter 3)

“There will be more wars after this one, there will not be peace no matter who wins, so ultimately, war is pointless.” – Quintus Lato Equitus, 448 A.C.A. There are few things warriors like to do more than celebrate. Victory is a drug with a better high than any substance. It brings you up, but […]
