I’ll level with you. There are a lot of comics on the shelves and no one can be bothered to read them all, but in the never ending maelstrom of the publishing schedule certain gems tend to get overlooked. These books are some of the best things being published right now. Go get them. Don’t [...]

Lars Brown’s North World

Lars Brown’s North World

Trudging along the alley ways of the cluster-full geek celebration that is called San Diego Comic-Con about a year ago, I stumbled upon the Oni Press booth. I was probably mostly there to stalk… ahem… check if Brian Lee O’Malley was there signing stuff. Too nervous to stand in line, I hung out and struck [...]

Superhero or Action Hero?

Superhero or Action Hero?

Welcome to the first installment of an undecided amount of articles discussing superheroes and action heroes in comic books.
We all have our favorite protagonists. There’s that one hero whose mistakes and emotional breakdowns you will always forgive. Whether you feel an affinity to their personality, powers, their favorite food (if they eat), or even the [...]

Good morrow my comic-loving friends! It’s Tuesday and that means it’s just one more day until NEW COMIC BOOK DAY! Sadly, as it seems many of the publishers were busy working on their assorted big news releases for SDCC, our list of books being released this week has suffered. Still, I have waded through the second [...]

Bargain Bin Showdown 04

Bargain Bin Showdown 04

Welcome back to another exciting episode of Bargain Bin Showdown! Every week, I scour the bins filled with comic books from ages past and bring them home to share with everyone else! (Let us pretend the gap that I’m not addressing never really happened. Yes, excellent.)

Comical Cameos

Comical Cameos

As any comic fan knows, creating a comic is a long and arduous process. A single issue goes through writers, pencillers, inkers, colorists, letterers, editorial, and printing/publishing before making it to the shelves.  Although every attempt is made (as I have personally witnessed) to stop mistakes from getting through, human error does happen. Sometimes, the [...]

Top Cow Unleashes Artifacts

Top Cow Unleashes Artifacts

I’m a sufferer of event fatigue. With some of the big name companies pumping out event series and spin-offs every year like rabbits popping out litters of kits, it is hard not to get jaded with the near-constant barrage. When I heard that Top Cow was entering this market with their own event series, it [...]
