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 […]
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: Iron Man
It was the vanguard of movies for a year that will go down in history as a year of top flight geek movies. And despite the sheer amount of hype and attention that Iron Man received, it still managed to deliver. Starring Robert Down Jr. as the playboy bajillionaire Tony Stark, this movie is without […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Review: Countdown 04
What was supposed to be the backbone of the DC Universe has failed miserably. But nevertheless we are only a few issues away from DC’s Final Crisis. What will we see? Will Batman die? Will we be left with multiple dimensions, or just one? Will Mary Marvel finally grow up?
These are questions that we’ll soon […]
Review: Nightwing #143
Also Posted on Major Spoilers here
A real joy in my life at the moment is each month getting a new Nightwing comic. For too long Dick Grayson has been underused, abused and misused within the DCU. But finally, Peter J. Tomasi is bringing back one of the original DC heroes to a place where he […]
Review: Green Lantern #29
Also found at Major Spoilers.com, located here!
It has been the underground success of the DC Universe over the past year and a bit, and there’s no need to guess why: it’s Green Lantern, and Hal Jordan is simply one of the greatest characters ever to be written. So to disclaimer this review let me say […]
