Terminator is a beloved franchise of mine, I'm a fan of the first two original films, and the Christian Bale movie of this books same name was also pretty good (that's Terminator Salvation: The Final Battle for those that don't know the name of this newest Terminator book from Dark Horse), so I expect anything of the same name to be crap because I've set it up high on a … [Read more...]
Marvel Knights X-Men and the US Luge team on Valiant’s Unity. This weeks reviews.
First off we've got another Marvel Knights for you. Marvel Knights X-Men if the title of the post didn't spoil that one for you.

Damian Son of Batman #1 of 4 Review It was inevitable, the death that shocked the DC universe couldn't last longer than half a year. All be it this is a mini series, set in whatever timeline it wants to be in, the fact that DC couldn't help themselves from cashing in on Damian's death and now rebirth is a tad bit unsettling. Damian, or whatever clone this one is, blames … [Read more...]
Brubaker’s espionage thriller Velvet #1 Review. Behind the desk no more
Velvet #1 Review Spy books are difficult to pull off. I only say this because I can't think of any off the top of my head besides Mark Millar's Secret Service, which I did thoroughly enjoy.
