V. MEGA-reviews Remender’s Uncanny X-Force

For the past two years, Rick Remender's Uncanny X-Force has been something I quite looked forward to on Wednesdays. At a time when many of my favorite superhero comics were not that great or being canceled, Uncanny X-Force was a consistently good title and filled that superhero space in my heart. So, when the opportunity... Continue Reading →

Comic Judgment: Best in Show

It’s weeks like this that make me so happy to be a comic book reader. All three titles that I pulled stuck the landing (My Batman and Robin #1 review is here) and marked the beginning of exciting new eras. We’re not just talking DC, either. Let’s get it started with:   Batwoman #1 There’s... Continue Reading →

Comic Judgment: Debuts and Curtain Calls

There's nothing like a hefty Wednesday haul, especially when the books are as good as mine were this week. From a promising upstart to two venerable titles that took their bows, there's quite a bit to cover. Here we go ...

Sure, I liked Peter Parker and had always related to him as a nerdy underdog who was fast with a quip. But I hardly expected this book to become such a treasured and long-lasting...

WTF? Wednesday: Silly Dames In Love

There's a whole other commenatary — a book, really — to be written about the phenomenon of romance comics that were published from the 1940s through the '70s. It's a bizarre, fascinating, sexist genre that is ripe for examination and analysis. But for now, let's take a look at one of the grooviest: Marvel Comics'... Continue Reading →

Comic Judgment: Ultimate Spidey Continues Reign of Awesome

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #13 Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Pencils: David Lafuente Colors: Justin Ponsor Letters: Cory Petit In its 13 issues so far, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man has proven itself to be just as much of a crackling page-turner as its long-running predecessor, the nearly identically titled Ultimate Spider-Man.

Comic Judgment: A Pull List Overview

I got caught up on a bunch of comics this week. Here’s the lowdown: Brave and the Bold #33 (Yeah, I know this came out last week, but whatever.): DC’s Brave and the Bold hasn’t been on my pull list since the "Book of Destiny" arc closed out a few years ago, but I approached issue...

Comic Judgment: A Pull List Overview

I read a bunch of comics this week. Here's how they stack up, from best to worst: 1. Batman and Robin #10 During its short run, this title has ranged from brilliant to odd to plain inscrutable — in other words, classic Grant Morrison. Fortunately, things are back on the upswing with Andy Clarke's wonderful... Continue Reading →
