War is Over, If You Want It

Ladies and gentlemen, World War Hulk.
The final issue off the stands and in my hot little hands, I actually felt I needed time to digest the conclusion and take in everything that went down. ‘Cause, boy did it ever. It’s like they took all the RARGH FIGHT! that was supposed to be in Thor and [...]

All You Need to Know: New Avengers #36

Someone asked me about this issue today, wondering if it was any good. Well, I can say one thing: This issue quite possibly breaks time and space in ways I didn’t think a comic could do to me.
And that’s me, personally, IRL to coin a term. I’m sure once this is all [...]

Call Me Kreskin

In the spirit of calling things, I now look to World War Hulk and pretty much figure out that… yeah. This is the Warbound’s fault.
Specifically, Miek and “Brood Creature 2 of 6″ (or so the Planet Hulk hardcover tells me) as around Incredible Hulk #103 went into the pod that lunched the Hulk into [...]

All You Need to Know – Captain Marvel #1

Yeah, I’m doing a lot of single issue reviews, rather than the big block of a bunch because I know that when I see things like ‘Captain Marvel #1′, I need some moral support to know if it’s going to be worth my hard earned $2.99 ($3.22 with tax in CA, retailers: the price is [...]

All You Need to Know – Thor #4

We got a preview copy of next week’s Thor #4 and I am so sorry.
I’m almost more sorry about this than I am about World War Hulk: Gamma Corps. As much of a huge waste of space that mini-series was, at least it was a mini. At least it dealt mostly with [...]

Where Do You Read Your Comics?

Okay! Victory dance aside, we’re back! And almost as good as new which is why I’m coming to you, Gentle Reader, with really… a good question.
Where do you read comics? On your lunch break? On the bus or other public transport? Do you buy a ‘Reader’s Copy’ especially for the job? [...]

Fan Entitlement

Much like hating people but loving gatherings (isn’t it ironic?), I get a kick out of Harry Potter fandom.  Not the books mind you, as I tried to read the first one and it just wasn’t my bag, but the people who are rabid for the world of wizards and muggles.  Without more than my [...]

Rapey Comments Comin’ Atcha!

By the way, I’d like to point out to people who follow Newsarama – in the fight scene with the Skrull, Namor begins it fully clothed, and, by the time it’s over, his shirt is ripped open, and more of his naked body can be seen. I know that this will cause a letter-writing campaign [...]

Run Silent, Run Deep

Alright, after New Avengers: Illuminati #5, I just have to start with

I CALLED IT!!
Send down the balloons, Mr. Colbert because I CALLED THAT MO’FO’! And I was even sick at the time! Mind you, I do know that this is a little like called who’s buried in Grant’s Tomb, but these days [...]
