I just woke up earlier this afternoon, surrounded by empty bottles of beer, ashtrays full of cigarettes, and an assortment of strangers passed out in various places around my apartment. Seems I’ve been on a bender, of sorts, for the better part of the past week. I guess that’s what quitting your job does to…
Hey, everybody, it’s my birthday! What better way to celebrate than finishing up my review of “52” in a timely manner and then getting completely slammified at the bars? I can’t think of a thing! So, that said, what happened this week, and, more importantly, how was it? Glad you asked. This issue focuses primarily…
Aside from an incredibly decent cover and a neat splash page featuring Batwoman laying the smacketh down on some Intergang thugs, this week’s issue is surprisingly dull. For the sake of ritual, though, let’s address what actually happens this week, and I’ll tell you why it sucks so much. First off, we find Renee Montoya…
It’s Wednesday, and we all know what that means. So, while you’re at your local comic shop, picking up the latest and greatest today, do yourself a favor and pick up “Astro City: The Dark Age Book 2 #1,” the first issue in the second story-arc of this Wildstorm property. Then, come back here on…

Whoa, we’re half-way there! This week’s issue of “52” opens up with the Black Marvel family dropping the Question and Renee Montoya off in the middle of nowhere, near some icy, impressively large mountains, where the duo meets up with a couple of the Question’s friends. One of them is the man who trained the…
In the first couple of pages of this week’s issue of “52,” we meet the main boss behind the Intergang infiltration of Gotham, and he’s not only a cannible, but he’s a terrible party host. He murders a lot of his guests. He doesn’t murder Magpie or Ventriloquist, which is interesting, since they’re two of…
That’s not an original photo. I found it somewhere on the Internet. Anyway, my brother wrote something for his blog about the television show “Heroes,” and I thought that it was fantastic, so I asked him if I could post it on here, since we’ve been discussing the show’s merit for some time now. I…
Wellsir, I just capped a twelve-pack, so I figure since it’s my duty this week, I’ve gotta say something about the Book of Doom for this week. I chose “The Flash: Fastest Man Alive,” since it has come to my attention that a lot of people quit reading it after the first issue. Don’t get…
Week Twenty-Four of Fifty-Two opens with Oliver Queen on the campaign trail in Star City, being contacted by the new Firestorm, who’s starting up a brand new Justice League, consisting of a small contingent of F-List superheroes. Among the group of losers? Firehawk, Bulleteer, Ambush Bug, and Super-Chief. When they finally see combat, they’re confronted…
