Conan: The Weight of the Crown #1

Thu, January 14th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

A disappointing effort that focus too much on laborious narration and not enough on Conan killing people.

Nation X #2

Thu, January 14th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

The second anthology issue that explores life on Utopia is a mixed bag aimed at longtime X-fans rather than the more casual reader.

Action Comics #885

Thu, January 14th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

"Action Comics" continues to be a 100% Superman-free read for all those comic book fans with Superman allergies. All the same, the title does live up to its name with this issue, in both the main story and the backup.

Titans #21

Wed, January 13th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

"Titans" proceeds apace, marking time between one big event and the next. In this issue, J.T. Krul gives some more insight into the slow motion splintering of one of DC's oldest teams.

"Lola: A Ghost Story" is a story about a young man who can see ghosts and other supernatural beings.

Tue, January 12th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

A pleasant issue that leaves a good impression after reading.

Black Panther #12

Tue, January 12th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

Superhero shenanigans and a whole lot more in this jam-packed issue by Maberry and Conrad.

Spider-Man Noir: Eyes without a Face #2

Tue, January 12th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

The art and writing don’t work harmoniously and the plot is too coincidental in this 1933 story, while lacking a strong identity to push forward.

X-Men Origins Cyclops #1

Tue, January 12th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

This Cyclops origin turns out to be a well-told little story, with some surprisingly nice art.

Amazing Spider-Man Presents: Jackpot #1

Tue, January 12th, 2010 | By James Hunt

Jackpot – the original Jackpot – gets back into costume.

Mon, January 11th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

The series reaches its conclusion with a final battle and forward-looking ending.

Weird Western Tales #71

Mon, January 11th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

Surprisingly, one of the better "Blackest Night" crossovers -- this one embraces its own crassness.

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #6

Sun, January 10th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

The identity of the mysterious red-hooded character revealed, and Principal Siuntres returns.

Superman: World of New Krypton #11

Sat, January 9th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

This overwrought series has dragged on far too long, and we don't even get Pete Woods drawings on every page anymore.

Gigantic #5

Sat, January 9th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

"Gigantic" reaches its dramatic conclusion, and it was worth the wait.

The Great Ten #3

Fri, January 8th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

If you ever wanted to see a Chinese Superman in virtually every detail, this is the comic for you.

Doom Patrol #6

Fri, January 8th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

Following the "Blackest Night" issues is no easy task, so Giffen, Clark, and crew decide to reflect on what was. This isn't your standard navel-gazing though. It's navel-gazing, "Doom Patrol" style.

Blackest Night: Wonder Woman #2

Thu, January 7th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

So what exactly happened to Mera's nose during her fight with Wonder Woman in "Blackest Night" #6? The answer, my friends, is right here.

Marvel Boy: The Uranian #1

Thu, January 7th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

While "Siege" may be an event book "seven years in the making," this series is sixty years in the making. Sort of.

Proof #25

Thu, January 7th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

Rumors of the demise of "Proof" have been greatly exaggerated. This issue is a start to a new storyline, one that leads to "Season Two" of this title.

Deadpool Team-Up #897

Thu, January 7th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

Lackluster, mediocre, and not nearly as entertaining as a comic featuring Deadpool, Ghost Riders, and demonically possessed circus freaks should be.

New Mutants #9

Thu, January 7th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

Could it be? Is "New Mutants" finally done setting up its status quo?

Suicide Squad #67

Thu, January 7th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

"Suicide Squad" of Earth. Rise. This title is just one of many coming back from the dead this month as part of the grander "Blackest Night" tale.

Stumptown #2

Thu, January 7th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

Was your New Year's resolution to only read good comics? "Stumptown" will help you with that.

Cable #22

Tue, January 5th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

The two year "Cable" time travel story lurches towards a conclusion, and the book perks up a bit as a result.

Siege: Embedded #1

Tue, January 5th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

A promising first issue that fails to deliver compelling or entertaining writing, but Chris Samnee’s art is gorgeous and almost worth the four dollar admission.

Punisher MAX: Get Castle #1

Tue, January 5th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton

Don't let the Welsh setting fool you, there's nothing out of the ordinary in this Punisher story.

Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds

Mon, January 4th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

Any fan of the Legion of Super-Heroes, George Pérez, Geoff Johns, or even Superboy Prime (you may have problems if you fall into that category) will want to look into this book.

All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder Vol. 1

Mon, January 4th, 2010 | By Chad Nevett

One of the most infamous books of the past five years, there’s more to this book than many give credit.

Siege #1

Mon, January 4th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza

Marvel christens in the New Year for comics with "an event seven years in the making!" Is it an event worthy of such ballyhoo? Read on.

Siege #1

Mon, January 4th, 2010 | By Benjamin Birdie

Brian Michael Bendis and Olivier Coipel's "Siege" thrives on the sheer pulp insanity of a lot of its concepts.

Saga of the Swamp Thing Book One

Wed, December 30th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Alan Moore's American debut is still one of the best comics ever published in this country.

Superman: Kryptonite Nevermore

Wed, December 30th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Dennis O'Neil and Curt Swan famously de-power Superman in some classic comics from the Bronze Age.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

Wed, December 30th, 2009 | By Augie De Blieck Jr.

Oz has never looked better in the comics format.

The Adventures of Blanche

Wed, December 30th, 2009 | By Augie De Blieck Jr.

Rick Geary goes the fiction route, but maintains his reputation for superb historical research and the visuals to back them up.

Showcase Presents: Ambush Bug Vol. 1

Wed, December 30th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

A great value for some great comics. Plus, Ambush Bug is kind of hilarious.

Blackest Night #6

Wed, December 30th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

"Blackest Night" breaks the silence of the "skip week" in full color brilliance as the Black Lanterns set their sights on Earth.

Blackest Night #6

Wed, December 30th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Blackest Night" #6 in some ways feels like a fan game come to life, but in a fun and entertaining way.

The Absolute V for Vendetta

Tue, December 29th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Moore's wake up call has aged well, but it's not a great fit for the Absolute format.

Punisher MAX Volume 5

Tue, December 29th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

The final hardcover of Garth Ennis’ work on "The Punisher" is a must read and sets the bar ridiculously high for anyone who wishes to write the character in the future.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Fool’s Gold #1

Mon, December 28th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

This issue is mostly mediocre except for the writing and art of Odo, the only character that the writers and artist seem to understand.

Criminal: The Sinners #3

Mon, December 28th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Tracy Lawless gets further trapped inside the web of crime, but he's always in control.

Wonder Woman #39

Sun, December 27th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

The "Warkiller" storyline ends here, as one god plays out his hand and another reveals that he has more than a few tricks left up his sleeve. Poor Diana.

Chew #7

Sun, December 27th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

Two bites into its second course, "Chew" is still delivering the deliciousness.

Irredeemable #9

Sun, December 27th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Mark Waid's best comic book series ever continues to be a Don't Miss read.

Punisher #12

Sun, December 27th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

This issue focuses more on the Legion of Monsters, but that's actually the real attraction for this story.

X-Men: Legacy #231

Sun, December 27th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"X-Necrosha" finally hits "X-Men: Legacy," and Mike Carey's book is perfectly suited to looking at those deceased mutants of the past.

Secret Warriors #11

Sun, December 27th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Hickman gets the story back on track after a few Dark Reign derailments in recent months.

The Buy Pile

Thu, February 4th | Hannibal Tabu

It's easy to have a good week when only one book really annoys and the rest are filled with mud-splattered legends, a blood-splattered anti-hero, Chinese super military men, Tony Stark in crisis and a return to Milestone. [more...]
