Review: Rann-Thanagar Holy War #1
or, Superheroes. In. SPAAAACCCE!
With a Crisis in the DC Universe there inevitably comes a return to Rann and Thanagar. Thus, for all of us who enjoy a bit of the good old science fiction, all of our space heroes come together to deal with some cosmic threat that somehow always ends up focusing on Rann […]
Review: Logan #3
With the ability to review comics comes a renewed desire to read comics, and I was really looking forward to the conclusion of this story. It’s been an interesting tale that once again put Wolverine, aka, Logan, in to a historical situation. The story is about love found and lost, revenge and seeking a measure […]

Marvel has recently begun making trailers not just for their movies and animated TV series, but for their comics as well. Check out the trailer for Invincible Iron Man after the jump.
To be written by Matt Fraction and drawn by Salvador Larroca, Invincible Iron Man ‘pits Iron Man against a villain who rivals Tony in […]
Barely Released, and Sequels Abound
This article was split in two at Comic Book Movie
Iron Man has only just been released, and Batman the Dark Knight isn’t even near a cinema, yet we’re already hearing rumors about sequels for the two movies.
First of all we’ll look at Iron Man, but props go to Cinema Blend’s contact who is the source […]
Review: Green Lantern #30
or, Geoff Johns, the Master of the RetCon
Green Lantern number 30 was highly anticipated in the Hill household, as I would get to see part 2 of what I believe to be a 3 part origin story, and it didn’t disappoint. Beautiful artwork, beautiful storytelling, and just the right amount of twist to give the […]
Review: DC Universe #0
or, Holy Mother of Freakin’ continuity Batman, this is going to be huge!
If you haven’t been keeping track, we’ve been counting down (I don’t mean that as a pun but, damn it!) to DC’s final Crisis event, wittily entitled, Final Crisis. Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns have paired up to write what is one of […]
Review: Mighty Avengers #12
or, oh thank the green fields, they FINALLY brought back Nick!
I don’t ask for a lot out of my comic books. In reality, it is pretty simple; non-powered heroes kicking the sh!t out of powered bad and good guys alike. I’m one of those who like the Batman plethora of good guys over, say, Green […]
Review: Countdown #1
or, OH thank HEAVENS it is finally over!
With a sigh of relief I opened the pages of the last issue of Countdown, and with a similar sigh I closed them a few minutes later. They had not finished badly, as previous issued had suggested they might. Though they finished leaving me baffled, it was not […]
Hulk Sets up Avengers
When in 2005 Marvel Studios announced that they would begin to produce their own properties as movies, we knew that within the decade we would see the Avengers. With 2008 seeing Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk hitting screens, you just know that there is going to be some avengers set up.
And, according to Sci […]
Review: X-Factor #30
or, three issues later and there are still no “save Layla” plans
A new month of comics dawns and I get to return to one of my favorites, X-Factor. But, as the sub-heading suggests, I am a little troubled at the lack of “Layla” that I’m finding in these issues (though, she at least got a […]
Countdown #3: Review
This review is also seen at Major Spoilers
In what was seemingly a cross between climactic-battle and overloaded “gotta fill you in on the last 50 issues” prose, Countdown #2 was pretty much exactly what we expected it would be. It had its good, which was thoroughly outweighed by the bad, yet still managed to keep […]
Countdown #2: Review
This review is also seen at Major Spoilers
Though this is a week late, and the review for the next episode will soon be following, I decided that I would uphold my end of the bargain and review Countdown #3. Mainly, because I want to provide ~wyntermute~ with another review that isn’t 5/5, but also because […]
Batman: Gotham Knights Trailer Released
It is one of the most fascinating projects to be associated with a cinematic movie release, and Batman: Gotham Knight has got us all spellbound. Now, for the first time, check out the official trailer.
Batman: Gotham Knight, for the uninitiated, is a direct-to-DVD/Blu-Ray/On Demand title that will be filling in the gaps between Batman Begins […]
Review: Titans #1
or, I’m writing this comic and I’ll have as many boob shots as possible!
The year 2008 came with the full knowledge that DC would soon see the initiation of its Final Crisis. Countdown to Final Crisis was coming to a close, with week after week of mediocrity robbing what may or may not be the […]
Review: Logan #02
Last month I reviewed Logan #1, and … *quickly checks past review* … I really liked it. And when I got my chance to read the second issue in this new Wolverine history story, I was just as happy; which, yes, means I have some art quirks to deal with later as well.
All in all […]
