It’s not unlikely that I will SPOIL something below
Review: Eternal Warrior #2
Review: Gail Simone’s The Movement and the Importance of Point of View
The Movement is a book I badly wanted to love. One of the few truly new ideas to emerge from the New 52, it had pretty much everything I look for in a monthly comic, at least on the surface. It had a fantastic premise – superpowered teens fight corruption and wage class warfare – that was extraordinarily relevant to modern society, a diverse cast filled with mostly new characters, and a dedication to building a strong sense of place in Coral City. But The Movement has failed to connect with readers (myself included) in a way that’s rare for writer Gail Simone’s work. Where did it go so wrong? Continue reading
Review: Green Lantern #24, Part 1 of “Lights Out”
DC’s newest event gets off to a shaky start in the underwhelming Green Lantern #24.
Review: Forever Evil #2
Forever Evil, DC’s massive post-summer event, improves on an awful first issue with a passable second one, but its problems still linger.
Review: Hinterkind #1
Review: Lazarus #4
Review: Sex Criminals #1
Matt Fraction’s new indie sex-comedy gets off to a surprisingly mournful start in this sharp new comic from Image.
Review: Thor: God of Thunder #13
I’m not really familiar with Malekith, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this comic.
It’s not a super-dense plot or anything, but there will nonetheless be SPOILERS
Review: T.H.U.N.D.E.R Agents #2
This comic certainly does exist, doesn’t it?
SPOILERS (probably…I haven’t written the review yet so maybe not, but there usually are, so it’s safe to assume there will be this time)
Review: Six-Gun Gorilla #1
No, not the same line as the previously reviewed Six Gun Gorilla by r/R’s own Matthew Derman. This one is done by Brian Christgau and his crew, and is one indie comic definitely worth checking out.
Spoiler warning!
From Daredevil to Batman: Ben Affleck to don Batman’s mantle
The internet in the last few hours has been bursting with it. The news that Ben Affleck is going to be the next Batman alongside Henry Cavill’s Superman. To get a better idea of how this will go, I just rewatched Daredevil.

Review: 100 Bullets: Brother Lono #3
This felt lethargic, like it barely had the energy to get to its last panel, and even that was sort of an abrupt and rhythmically poor conclusion.
PROBABLY CONTAINS SPOILERS
Review: Uncanny X-Men #10
Seems Bendis is pointing out more and more things that I personally disliked over AvX and the current fallout. And I like it!
SPOILER WARNING!
Review: Archer & Armstrong #12
While not without its flaws, this is another fun issue of one of the most reliably entertaining comicbooks coming out today.
SPOILERS
Review/RANT: the Wolverine
Jap poster – second best thing about the movie
Chris Lay, a member of Geek Orthodox Church on FB, described it as “a 2.5 hour setup for the ‘bonus’ credit sequence.” Yep, that pretty much sums it up.
SPOILERS!
Review: Avenger’s Arena #12
Review: Young Avengers #8
It’s zany, it’s funny, it’s got action, suspense, and heart. Maybe not the best issue of Young Avengers ever, but still pretty great.
As always, SPOILERS
WINNERS!
There it is! Winning entry sent in by Tim Jenkins!
Review: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #25
An issue with many ups and downs, and an important ending that just didn’t click with me.
