Written by: Tom King Art by: John Paul Leon, Bernard Chang, Shawn Crystal, Mitch Gerads Coloring by: Dave Stewart Lettering by: Clayton Cowles This Batman/Catwoman series has been all over the place for me, and this special kind of made it worse. Where it started out pretty good, with a premise […]
Written by: Benjamin Percy Art by: Federico Vicentini Coloring by: Dijjo Lima, Frank Martin Lettering by: VC’s Cory Petit So, I don’t think a second issue has made me eat my words as fast as X Deaths of Wolverine has. Where X Lives of Wolverine felt like just another Wolverine-focused event, […]
Written by: Rainbow Rowell Art by: Roge Antonio Coloring by: Rico Renzi Lettering by: VC’s Joe Caramagna Do you like John Bryne’s classic run on She-Hulk? Did you not enjoy Jennifer Walters’ time as the Hulk? Well, then this series kind of feels like it’s for you, but not. This new […]
Written by: Benjamin Percy Art by: Joshua Cassara Coloring by: Frank Martin Lettering by: VC’s Cory Petit X Lives of Wolverine is a book that is going to suffer from the way it’s being sold more than the content itself. This book is the only X-book furthering the X-story for several […]
Last year I put out a video ranking my favorite comic books of 2020, and now I’m doing it again for 2021. Here’s hoping it isn’t irrelevant by the time it comes out like it was last year. That was my bad. But this year, I feel as if I’ve really […]
Written by: Gerry Duggan Art by: Matteo Lolli, Phil Noto Coloring by: Rain Beredo, Phil Noto Lettering by: VC’s Cory Petit Marauders was my favorite X-Men book at the beginning of Dawn of X. Among the original 6 titles, it still remains my favorite. Marauders #27 is an end to that […]
Written by: Chip Zdarsky Art by: Rafael De Latorre Coloring by: Federico Blee Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles Daredevil: Woman Without Fear is interesting for a couple of reasons. Its happening during Devil’s Reign, an event series that spun out of the Daredevil comic where she was the main character. Then […]
Written by: Tini Howard Art by: Ig Guara Coloring by: Dijjo Lima Lettering by: VC’s Joe Caramagna Marvel, why the hell doesn’t Elsa Bloodstone have her own ongoing yet? I’ve loved Elsa Bloodstone since I first found her in the Secret Wars: Marvel Zombies book. Yeah, deep cut I know, but […]
Written by: Gerry Duggan Art by: Pepe Larraz Coloring by: Marte Garcia Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles I like the idea of Captain Krakoa, a lot. I think Cyclops becoming Captain Krakoa is an excellent choice. Not because he’s like Captain America in character, but because he’s like him in his […]
Written by: Jonathan Hickman Art by: Valerio Schiti, Stefano Caselli Coloring by: David Curiel Lettering by: VC’s Joe Sabino I absolutely love the Krakoa Era of X-Men, I’m hardpressed to say there’s a single issue I’ve hated. At the same time, I can’t say there has been anything as amazing as […]
Written by: James Tynion IV, Matthew Rosenberg Art by: Otto Schmidt Coloring by: Otto Schmidt Lettering by: Tom Napolitano I just want to say that Evil Hal Jordan is the best Hal Jordon. The more important question is, is Vampire Hal better than Parallax? DC vs Vampires #3 continues to make […]
Written by: Chip Zdarsky Art by: Marco Checchetto Coloring by: Marcio Menyz Lettering by: Clayton Cowles Devil’s Reign #2 continues the excellence of the last issue. The thing that immediately stands out to me is how this issue isn’t just here to build things up for later issues. This issue continues […]
The year is ending, and no more comic book films are coming out. Last year, I only managed to review the top ten comic books, but this year, I want to do more. I want to get the top ten comic book series I read, comic tv shows, and comic book […]
Written by: Davila Leblanc, Peter Ricq Art by: Peter Ricq Scout Comics is that indie publisher people should pay more attention to. First, it was Midnight Western Theatre that was doing something that caught my eye, and now it’s A King’s Vengeance. This new fantasy world is ripped from the minds […]
Written by: Leah Williams Art by: Lucas Werneck Coloring by: Edgar Delgado Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles It may sound a little ridiculous to say that a character needs a redemption arc. In other mediums, a character only needs to be what the creatives need them to be. But in comic […]
Last year, I only did a video about the best comics of 2020, but now I want to do more. There were a lot of comic book shows to come out this year as the pandemic slowed down. Some were about superheroes and some weren’t. Unlike with the movie list, there […]
Written by: Tini Howard Art by: Marcus To Coloring by: Erick Arciniega Lettering by: VC’s Ariana Maher This is it, Excalibur #26, the final issue of the longest running series of Dawn of X. This has been a controversial series, with many taking issue with the characterization of Betsy Braddock and […]
Written by: Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad Art by: Jorge Corona Coloring by: Sarah Stern Lettering by: Becca Carey The Batgirls finally get their own book! They’ve been in the corners of other Bat-books since the start of Infinite Frontier, and it’s about time that changed. As a first issue, it’s […]
Written by: Joshua Williamson Art by: Jorge Molina, Mikel Janin Coloring by: Tomeu Morey Lettering by: Clayton Cowles Batman #118 is emblematic of both the successes and failings of Batman as a character these last few years. Many people, in the DC Universe and the fanbase wants him to grow as […]
Written by: Chip Zdarsky Art by: Marco Checchetto Coloring by: Marcio Menyz Lettering by: Clayton Cowles It would be easy and misleading to say that Devil’s Reign is a continuation of the fantastic Daredevil series that just finished. You can jump into this book without having read a single issue of […]
Written by: Kelly Sue DeConnick Art by: Phil Jimenez Coloring by: Hi-Fi, Arif Prianto, Romulo Fajardo Jr. Art by: Clayton Cowles I don’t feel like I’ve read a comic book, so much as I’ve read a Greek legend. I’m not gonna pretend like I’m some great literary analyzer who can dive […]
Written by: Joshua Williamsom, Dennis Culver Art by: Brandon Peterson, Andrei Bressan, Tom Derenick Coloring by: Hi-fi Lettering by: Tom Napolitano This book is just fun. The cast is fun, the artwork is fun, the stakes are fun, the setting is fun, everything about Justice League Incarnate is fun. This book […]
Written by: Gerry Duggan Art by: Javier Pina & Ze Carlos Coloring by: Erick Arciniega Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles Now at X-Men #5, I think it’s easy to say that this series isn’t going to focus on Krakoa. In fact, this series feels like it’s trying to avoid Krakoa as […]
Written by: Donny Cates Art by: Ryan Ottley Coloring by: Frank Martin Lettering by: VC’s Cory Petit I’ve always been a more casual fan of the Hulk. I like his movies more than most people, I enjoyed his cartoon, and I enjoy his appearances in Marvel events and on Marvel team-books. […]
This is typically a comic book site, and Dragon Ball isn’t technically a comic book, I know. But I wanted to talk about a topic that’s been an important part of my life for the past few weeks. Fanfiction is almost a dirty word in some circles. It’s when fans take […]
Written by: Tom Taylor Art by: John Timms Coloring by: Hi-fi Lettering by: Dave Sharpe Tom Taylor is two-for-two this week, between Superman: Son of Kal-El #5 and Dark Ages #3. Where in Dark Ages he twisted the world against our heroes, here he brings a newish hero into his own […]
Written by: Tom Taylor Art by: Iban Coello Coloring by: Brian Reber Lettering by: VC’s Joe Sabino While the first two issues felt a bit slow, it was necessary for what we get here in Dark Ages #3. Here, we have the heartwarming characters moments (the ultimate red herrings) just before […]
Written by: Al Ewing Art by: Jacopo Camagni Coloring by: Fernando Sifuentes of Protobunker Studios Lettering by: VC’s Ariana Maher What I love about this era of X-Men is how it takes the time to give lesser-known characters their due. This also–thankfully–has given lesser represented groups time with characters like them. […]
Written by: Al Ewing, Ram V Penciling by: Bryan Hitch Inking by: Andrew Currie Coloring by: Alex Sinclair Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles I love Al Ewing’s work on both S.W.O.R.D. and Guardians of the Galaxy. With GOTG now over, it was only a matter of time before he had another […]
Written by: Phillip Kennedy Johnson Art by: Daniel Sampere Coloring by: Adriano Lucas Lettering by: Dave Sharpe What’s more important for making a good villain? The way he talks, the way he walks, or what he talks and walks for? Mongul is a classic Superman villain, famous for one good story. […]
Written by: F. Scott Fitzgerald Adapted by: Ted Adams Art by: Jorge Coelho Coloring by: Ines Amaro Lettering by: Robbie Robins This may seem surprising or not at all but the original The Great Gatsby is one of my favorite books. It’s strange because, on a surface level, it doesn’t fit […]
Written by: Tom King Art by: Greg Smallwood Lettering by: Clayton Cowles Tom King is one of my favorite writers, but every time he starts a new series, I go back and forth on whether I should read it month to month, or in trade. That’s how I came to love […]
Written by: Tom Taylor Art & Coloring by: Yasmine Putri Lettering by: Wes Abbot There are so many cool ideas in Dark Knights of Steel. Whether it’s DC or Marvel, Tom Taylor really does know how to make an elseworld story interesting and twist the fiction as we know it. Because […]
Written by: James Tynion IV, Matthew Rosenberg Art by: Otto Schmidt Coloring by: Otto Schmidt Lettering by: Tom Napolitano When it came to comic books this week, everything really did come up Millhouse. Between Red Hood getting a much-needed upgrade, and more Inferno, you miht think a vampire book wouldn’t hit […]
Written by: Matthew Rosenberg Penciling by: Eddy Barrows Inking by: Eber Ferriera Coloring by: Adriano Lucas Lettering by: Rob Leigh Since Red Hood & the Outlaws ended, DC has been experimenting with the teams they put the Red Hood on. Task Force Z is no different in that regard. First, it […]
Written by: Scott Snyder, Christos Gage, Donald Mustard Art by: Joshua Hixson Coloring by: Roman Stevens Lettering by: Andworld Design I resent that the original Batman/Fortnite book is one of the best books for new readers to get into comics. I resent that Batman/Fornite: Foundation is written by one of the […]
Written by: Stephanie Williams & Vita Ayala Penciling by: Alitha Martinez Inking by: Mark Morales Coloring by: Emilio Lopez Lettering by: Becca Carey For a book titled Nubia and the Amazons, I expected it to be more about Nubia. I’m not complaining, but don’t be surprised when you’ve picked this book […]
Written by: Bill Willingham Penciling by: Brian Level Inking by: Jay Leisten Coloring by: Lee Loughridge Lettering by: Steve Wands Firstly, wow… wow, wow… wow. I thought I had my problems with the first issue of Batman Vs Bigby! A Wolf in Gotham. That had more to do with the creator […]
Written by: Leah Williams Art by: Lucas Werneck & David Messina Coloring by: Edgar Delgado Lettering by: VC’s Clayton Cowles The first two issues of the Trial of Magneto have been two of the best issues I’ve read all year. The way they’ve furthered Wanda’s state of self-healing but also Magneto’s […]
Liberation Theology is, and I quote, “a movement in Christian theology that emphasizes liberation from social, political, and economic oppression as an anticipation of ultimate salvation.” I took a class about this in college, a strange thing to say I’m done with. But in that class, I was able to write […]
Forewarning, I purchased this comic after a trip to New York Comic-Con 2021 and was able to get the first three issues signed by the author himself. That’s not to say I have any personal connection to him or The Saturn Effect: Alpha Kickstarter. I only mention this because I may […]
I have to be honest and forewarn readers, my opinions and feelings get pretty bleak and angry a bit this week. Not about Marvel Inferno, that’s fantastic and it starts the night off with good news. It’s when it comes to Deathstroke Inc. and Batman vs Bigby! that I have some […]
This is a heavy week. There’s so much going on emotionally in all of these issues that I’ve chosen to review this week. I got whiplash going from the hopeful heroics of Aquaman: The Becoming, to the emotional goodbyes of Guardians of the Galaxy, and the emotional revelations of The Onslaught […]
This week, I’m going to do something a little different. You’ll notice that I’ve reviewed fewer books this week, only four, but I go deeper into my feelings on them. I felt that I was just speed reading through them to get my opinions out, but that was a mistake. More […]
There are no new #1’s this week. This week, everything I’m reading is well-trodden territory. To make it worth it, each of them is at the top of their game save one. Some are releasing some of the best issues to jump into the series with, and others are just ramping […]
Written by: Danny Oliver Art by: Slobodan Jovanovich Coloring by: Kurt Michael Russell Lettering by: Matt Krotzer Editing by: Janelle Asselin I do have to preface that I did financially back Coddlesworth’s Clockwork Circus on Kickstarter. To say that this didn’t motivate me to do a little review of it on […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
