Epix and Marvel Heroes Weekend

52240-Free-Preview-Art-md

Who is ready for the Avengers film this May? I have been really excited about this film ever since they announced that they were leading up to it with all of the major players on the team. I really enjoyed Iron Man, though I wasn’t the biggest fan of the sequel, even though War Machine [...]

Hey DC, could you please stop making the JLI chumps? Like, Now?

The Justice League International

This week’s Justice League International #8 brought us a lot of what we expect in our superhero comics–action, drama, supervillains, and people getting beat up. And lately, many of the people in question who’ve been getting beat up have been our heroes, the members of the JLI. Just like they always do, and it sucks. [...]

Review: Grimm Fairy Tales April Fools

02FEB12_Page_07_AprilFools

I never really read fairy tales growing up. In fact, I hated reading in general, not including comics. But when I became a teenager, I suddenly pulled a 360 and started to read everything. Sci-fi, Fantasy, Fairy Tales, Mythology from many different cultures. I just devoured it all. Now, I am able to do it [...]

The Eisner Awards 2012 Nominations Are In

eisner-award

The Eisner Awards are a bit of a big thing in the comic book industry. Think the Oscars but for people who can actually creatively tell a story. Presented each year as part of San Diego Comic-Con International, the awards showcase the very best that the industry has to offer. For 2012, that list stretches [...]

Preview: Peter Panzerfaust #3

Peter Panzerfaust

No one can complain about this issue of Peter Panzerfaust being dull! As always, this rendition of the beloved story of Peter Pan continues to deliver on the entertainment front, and as always, I find myself completely drawn into the story. Anyone who knows me, or who has read any of my previous reviews, previews [...]

Teenage MUTANT Ninja Turtles Are AWESOME!

tmntfight

Hello again, fellow turtle fans! This article has been a long time coming, and it honestly never occurred to me to write it until a fellow blogger suggested it to me (blame it on my pregnancy brain). But here it is now – an article composed of nothing more than my rabid fangirl ramblings regarding the four [...]

Preview: America’s Got Powers #1

image-comics-logo

Image Comics preview time!   This one I had to preview simply because I am a big fan of the writer, not only for his writing ability but also for the fact I’ve been watching him on TV for years. That writer of course is Jonathan Ross and the comic I’m talking about is America’s [...]

newspideyarmour-300x198

As most of you Spidey fans know, Marvel dropped the latest (and biggest) Spider-Man story last month in The Amazing Spider-Man #682: Ends of the Earth, which is featuring the ingenious Doc Ock’s plans to “cure” global warming using his Octavian Lens via orbit. Only, a few problems arise when Doc Ock announces his plan to help [...]

Danger Club #1 2nd printing

Image just seems to be on a role with the current books it is putting out, having two more sell out on the day of release. Can they put a foot wrong? Danger Club #1 and Bloodstrike #26 have been sent straight back to the printers in order to be released on the same day [...]

Review: Savage Dragon #179

Savage Cover

When I decided I was going to review the latest issue of Savage Dragon, issue #179, from Image Comics, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the title. I’d seen the character before and thought he look interesting but I’d never read any of the previous issues and it would also seem I’d done my [...]

Preview – Dejah Thoris And The White Apes Of Mars #1

White Ape

Despite not doing well at the box office, Disney’s John Carter has more than managed to rejuvenate some public interest in the Edgar Rice Burroughs classic franchise. I’ve been enjoying my first read-through of his Barsoom series, so I was interested when I saw Dynamite’s new title Dejah Thoris and the White Apes of Mars. I [...]

Preview Voltron Year One #1

VoltronYO01CovWijaya

I never knew what Voltron was growing up. I wasn’t born when the original show was airing, and I was more of a Power Rangers kid. Not by choice, it was just what was on when I was growing up. Today, however, I get to share with you an exciting preview! Voltron Year One #1 [...]

Review – The Waking: Dreams End #1

The Waking: Dreams End #1

Zenescope’s The Waking: Dreams End #1 is the first issue of a new series written by Raven Gregory that’s a follow-up to 2010’s The Waking miniseries, which Gregory also wrote. It’s an intriguing debut issue that I’m sure brings the chills fans of the original series would expect. I say, “I’m sure” because I haven’t [...]

Preview: The Lone Ranger #4

Lone Ranger #4 cover

Growing up, my mother always used to talk about The Lone Ranger, how much she loved his horse Silver and all of the adventures he would go on with Tonto and Scout. I guess she left out the scary parts for us as kids, because I don’t remember any talks of wolf face-offs, bear attacks, [...]

Avengers Vs, The X-Men

These are exciting times to be a comic book fan, if you ask me. The Avengers are assembling on the big screen, The Dark Knight Rises, and even Spiderman is heading back for a reboot. Yet, we know, that the movies are merely the icing on this delicious moist cake of comic book fandom, because [...]
