Iron Man #1 Review Tony Stark Shaves His Facial Hair for Marvel NOW!
Iron Man #1 Review "Demons and Genies" Literally truck loads of Marvel NOW! books have come out over the past two weeks, so many in fact that I've almost become overwhelmed by them...almost. Iron Man #1 didn't elude me, it just didn't arrive on time, like the playboy Tony Stark himself, this one was fashionably late. The issues expressed in this book revolve directly … [Read more...]
The New Shadowman from Valiant.
Shadowman #1 Review The revamped Valiant Comics is still pumping out their rebooted/refreshed books from the 1990's and this month they've thrown Shadowman in the mix. For reasons I don't understand, this book takes place in the mystical lands of New Orleans, the main problem probably being that I've never been there. Voodoo and witchcraft I guess make the city a haven … [Read more...]
Moloch the Mystic #1 Review

To respect the late Joe Kubert, I plan to refrain from too much randomness and focus on remember the influential writer/artist he was. Joe Kubert … [Read more...]
A+X. Marvel’s Newest Team-Up!
A+X #1 Review The Avengers vs X-Men story arc is officially over, the AvX Consequences book is mediocre and Marvel NOW! is almost in full swing. So what is A+X about? Can the two teams suddenly forget what just happened? Shake hands, hug, and then have cake? Marvel says yes. A+X is in a universe of it's own, a universe where continuity is not Marvel's concern. All they … [Read more...]
Ghost #1 Review. Ghost Without Swayze.
Ghost #1 Review "In the Smoke and Din" Let the hate mail ring in I guess, I hope it's not too soon to include the late Patrick Swayze to hook in some readers about Dark Horse's new Ghost comic. A comic book which indeed has nothing to do with the 1990 tear jerking love story. Alas here you are, still reading, so I'm going to assume your here for the book. The mysterious … [Read more...]
