Seems only fitting to post this on a Sunday. I wrote a piece for another outlet about all the wiki projects involving comic books, and one of the most interesting links I found catalogued a ton of Marvel, DC and smaller press characters by their religion (or lack thereof). Here’s the link to the page…
I’ve reached out to a few new series lately and have more or less enjoyed them. Some are sure-fire additions to the buy pile, while others are still on the issue to issue trial basis. Either way, all are worth a look and you can probably find them on the shelves for another week or…
This started out as a comment in response to the Civil War Machine Derailed post and accompanying web-based criticism of Marvel’s decision to delay Civil War due to shipping concerns. Regarding all the uproar, I couldn’t disagree more. There seem to be two prongs to this argument – a case made on behalf of the…
A friend just loaned me the first book of this series. Volumes two and three are out as well. I’d made it about three fourths of the way through my first encounter with manga (can you really call it that?) and I was considering dropping the thing cold and chalking it up as a waste…
I should have known they’d f@^% it up. When I got to the comic shop today, I was met with a surprising bit of news regarding Civil War. Apparently, someone at Marvel wants to get fired. Apparently, Steve McNiven can’t draw nearly as quickly as a comic artist should be able to. And apparently, Marvel…
I always thought that Booster Gold was a character with a great deal of potential. We’ve seen glimpses of it throughout the years. During the fight with Doomsday, he was one of the first to step up toe-to-toe with the monster (he was also one of the first to be clobbered into the stratosphere). Harbinger…
In a nutshell: Booster’s back, and he hates Supernova. They fight, and Booster goes boom thanks to a nuclear sub exploding high above Metropolis (yes, that actually makes sense). Renee and The Question break out of prison. Next week, Adam and Isis make it official. It’s been weeks since we’ve seen Booster Gold in 52….
For years, first X-Man Cyclops had been regarded as an orphan, entrusted to the care of Charles Xavier and never really having had a home. That is, until Uncanny X-Men #54 (then just called X-Men), where his long-lost brother Alex was revealed! And Alex was a mutant! We of course know him now as Havok,…
Here is disgraced Texas representative Tom DeLay. Aside from your knowledge of Tom DeLay, does he seem familiar? What about if I do this?
“52” has fast become one of my favorite pleasures of every Wednesday. This week’s no different, save for some small complaints I have with the cover of the issue. Simply put, the cover doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Take a quick look at it. It’s got a sweet picture of Steel holding the…
