Reviewing The New Age of Heroes Maybe DC Comics isn't so into "re-branding" themselves as much as Marvel has over the past few years but they aren't an innocent party either. So what is this, "New Age of Heroes" anyways? Have you been reading the mega-event Dark Nights: Metal? If you have then you're right where you should be, if you haven't, much like myself (I was able to … [Read more...]
November’s Best of Marvel NOW! 2016
November's Best of Marvel NOW! 2016 There's a trend happening that I've been hearing too often lately in my local comic shop, Cosmic Comics! in Las Vegas, and it centers around Marvel. Many readers just aren't interested in what Marvel is dishing out right now, and since I'm kind of the "Marvel" reader there I found this as odd as it was compelling since I'm currently reading … [Read more...]

As a reactive species, humans outlaw androids for a decade, but one somehow manages to survive, and thus the continuing struggles of androids and humans begins in Descender #1. Image Comics describes … [Read more...]
The Valiant #1. What’s a Geomancer?
The Valiant #1 review I wish I was a bigger Valiant fan, then I would know if Valiant actually does "epics" that often, because The Valiant #1 is supposed to be just that. And surprised to say I just found out before writing this review that it's actually only going to be a four issue mini series. Quite the opposite of epic if you ask me, but no matter, let's dig into just how … [Read more...]
