Review of Captain America Reborn: Who Will Wield The Shield #1 0
Let me get this straight, you did four issues of Captain America Reborn, showed Steve Rogers back in the Siege and Iron Man Disassembled, and all this before he had actually come back in his own series. Oh wait! Then you released the one shot that comes AFTER the Reborn series BEFORE the final issue, ergo spoiling the end. Oh Marvel, what a cluster$@#& you’ve created. Putting the circumstances of its release aside, (as much as we can) how does the issue stand on its own? First of all, I’ve ...

Review of Secret Six #16 0
I think the word “lol” has lost its original meaning. I can remember a long time ago, a simpler time, when print media wasn’t a joke, George Lucas was a hero, and “lol” meant “laugh out loud.” Nowadays it’s something you use to let another person know you’ve told a joke or that you understand that they told one. Well, I would like to say that Secret Six #16 by Gail Simone and Peter Nguyen made me “lol” in the most honest, pure sense of the word. With last week’s Blackest Night Wonder Woma...

Review of Scalped #33 1
If you were to ask me what book I look forward to most out of every comic currently coming out I would have to say Scalped. So, be warned, this review is just going to be one giant BJ for the creative team on the book. Get the tissues ready, this could get sloppy. Scalped #33 is the second to last issue in "The Gnawing" storyline. The Hmongs are moving on to the rez and Red Crow and the feds are trying to track down a witness who can testify against the former. As always, Jas...

Review of Detective Comics #859 0
I like Greg Rucka. He's got a knack for stories that feel grounded and real and seems to do his best work when dealing with military and espionage stories. There are even some great relationship scenes that give Kate Kane some serious depth but don't feel contrive. These military and character parts of the story are my favorite. It's when the Turner Classic Movies horror movie rejects show up that I become less and less interested. Why create such a real world only to destroy it with silly chara...

Review of Blackest Night #5 0
Here we are at issue 5 of 8 in the Blackest Night event. From the beginning I felt that the series was balls to the wall crazy with some of the better writing from Geoff Johns and art from Ivan Reis that is, in most cases, wonderfully hideous. At issue 5, though, it’s starting to feel a bit long. Somewhere near the end of the issue I actually started wondering what they were going to do to stretch the story out in order to get those final three books. Given the last page, I...

Review of Secret Six #12 1
I’ve been loving Secret Six since Gail Simone wrote Villains United. The series has been both consistently hilarious and action packed since it debuted some four years ago. It actually reminds me a lot of the Deadpool books but what makes this stand out a bit more is the team dynamic and the fact that you get a few more unique personalities to deal with. Now, I will say that I didn’t particularly like the last issue. It was a bit muddled and lacked a lot of the humor found in most of the se...

Review of Gotham City Sirens #2 3
I f*cked Catwoman and DC Comics won’t let me forget it. With that said, allow me to clarify. I had a girlfriend once who was really into the character of Catwoman and so, for Halloween, she made her own (and might I say, excellent) costume. Judging from the first sentence of the paragraph, I think you can guess where this lead. With that in mind, I’ll say that every issue of Gotham City Sirens has been an exercise in sexual frustration. Not only because every page is laden with s...

Blackest Night #1 0
It’s finally here. I know a lot of people complained about how long the prelude to Blackest Night lasted but I tried to say “Hey! As long as its good comics, who cares?” But you can only tease an event for so long until you have to actually deliver. I can only masturbate for so long before I have to say “OK, its time to ejaculate.” Well, kids, lets just say Geoff Johns delivered and I’m still wiping his literary discharge from my face. Everyone who’s anyone knows...

Review of Captain America Reborn #1 7
Before I start let me just state that I have grown to love Ed Brubaker over the last couple of weeks. I actually read issues 1 through 50 of Captain America over the span of about a month so its fair to say that I'm becoming somewhat of a fan of both the book and the writer. Now, over those 50 some odd issues, I also came to appreciate Steve Epting's art. Seeing as he was the artist for the majority of the Captain America I read, his rendition of the Cap universe is the one I am m...

Review of Batman and Robin #2 2
I’ll risk sounding cliche when I say Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly’s Batman and Robin #2 is good comics. I can’t really put it more eloquently than that. Almost every aspect of this book shines, from the writing, to the pencils, to the ink, and most of the coloring. I could honestly tell by the first page that this issue was going to be great and it didn’t disappoint. The first thing you see when you open this book is a full page panel of Dick Grayson wearing...
