I have 12 books in my stack this week. No lie. First up is Final Crisis #4, which is definitely my favorite issue of the series so far. This, of course, is relative to how awful I thought the first three issues were. Back in college, I took a beginning screen writing class from a…
This week’s Book of Doom is Hellboy: In the Chapel of Moloch — the first Hellboy comic drawn by Mike Mignola since 2005.

Fin Fang Doom brought some random words and genres to draw from to help inspire people; I drew “real-life,” “horror,” and then stuff like “rhubarb.” I’d had a dream earlier that morning about a dispute over…
The Secret Invasion tie-ins continue to devolve into pointlessness. Where they once shed new light on the background of the events leading up to where we are in the main series, Mighty Avengers #19 continues the recent pattern of telling stories that are sort of nice on their own but completely disappointing as successors to…
