When is it time to break up with a comic book? Sometimes, the decision is obvious: The comic's quality plunges or goes in a direction you don't like. Maybe the writer and/or artist changes and their work doesn't move you. But let's say you're reading a book that you've enjoyed for a long time, one … Continue reading Breaking Up Is Hard To Do
Comic Judgment: Surprises and Comeback Kids
As we've all discovered by now, the quality of the relaunched DC books has been all over the map, ranging from the brilliant to the WTF? That’s about what I expected. There’s no need for me to write another mash note to Batwoman, Action Comics, Wonder Woman or even Batman and Robin, so on to … Continue reading Comic Judgment: Surprises and Comeback Kids
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 ...

New Teen Titans Team: Do You Care?
Does the new creative team on Teen Titans get you excited about the book?
Friday Favorite: Tim Drake Wayne
Despite the fact that they all run around in silly costumes, some caped characters get more respect than others. If you say you’re a Batman fan, even his harshest geek critics won’t make fun of you, at least to your face. But saying that Robin is one of your favorites leads to snickering and the … Continue reading Friday Favorite: Tim Drake Wayne
