"I mean it. Out." 0
Ultimate Comics has been hyping this "Death of Spider-Man" event for at least the past 4 months. In the apparent prelude to the arc we again find Spider-Man doing regular Spider-Man things. There is literally no hint of impending doom except for the Spider-Man mask at the bottom of the last page. I'm all for hyping events but this has nothing to do with anything. With that in mind, however the issue is very strong as we see a key event in the life of Spider-Man and the return of a player we ...

"I...don't follow her on facebook." 0
With the next big Ultimate event right around the corner, it definitely seems to be the time to be reading Ultimate Spider-Man, considering the event is called the Death of Spider-Man. This issue serves as the prelude to the event, although I don't necessarily see any connection, but maybe that's just because the whole story isn't out at this time. But regardless if you're an Ultimate Spider-Man fan you're probably interested in how this issue goes. The ScriptThe writing, by Brian Michael ...

Issue #150 0
Ultimate Spider-Man turns 10 and 150 at the same time! Ultimate Spider-Man has been something that has been an amazing thing for Marvel, because it produced a universe that was different, attractive, and profitable to both new and old readers alike. Spider-Man has been a staple in the Ultimate Universe. This issue marks another Anniversary issue (it seems like we have one of these every month now) and while the price is certainly steep, the amount you get is well worth the price. Continui...

"Now You can see what You've been missing!" 2
Batman and Robin, for all intents and purposes has acted as the premiere Batman book the past year and a half, but with Grant Morrison leaving the title to write Batman Inc., would Batman and Robin fall behind as just another Batman book? The quick answer: No. Batman and Robin will continue to be one of the best Batman books, if not the best out, until it proves itself otherwise. Originally this issue was set to be the introduction of the new creative team for the series, Peter Tomasi and Pat...

"Bat-Taser" 0
I'll be the first to admit that ever since Batwoman left Detective comics, I've seriously considered dropping the title. I was not a fan of the previous arc, but I figured new direction, new interest, Batman Inc., status I'd give the comic another shot. When I tell you I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this issue, I mean it. This new 3-part arc starts off fresh and makes the read incredibly enjoyable. Scott Snyder delivers an incredible story that is highlighted with Dick Gray...

"Do other heroes secretly follow my twitter?" 1
First issues are always a great time to start a series. It's logical and the whole 1st Issue! sticking out at you basically calls you to it. Spider-Girl was picked up this week for exactly that reason and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the story. For those familiar with Spider-Man's Grim Hunt arc will remember Anya as one of the "spider people" that was taken. In terms of picking up this issue, if you have the funds and are interested in getting into a spider character that i...

Ey! Hombre Murcielago." 0
As the description says, The Dark Knight faces challenges seemingly unrelated, but more on that later. What You Need To Know. Fan Favorite and Batman savior Neal Adams not only draws this 6 part tale, but he also writes it. It is unclear if this is an in-continuity story. Not much is known about this series as of yet. The Good. Neal Adams' art is always a blast to look at. Whether it's Bruce Wayne or any of the other characters, his attention to detail is still something that has his ...
