The Dragon Prince #1

Tue, September 9th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza

"Dragon Prince," from Ron Marz and Lee Moder, follows the trials and tribulations of 14-year-old Aaron Chiang. Aaron's mother, April, writes novels about dragons, which Aaron didn't really think twice about. Until now.

Manhunter #34

Tue, September 9th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza

"Forgotten" continues on as Manhunter finds herself in the middle of a massive operation that has drawn the interest of both the Suicide Squad and the Birds of Prey.

X-Men: Manifest Destiny #1

Mon, September 8th, 2008 | By James Hunt

The X-Men are in San Francisco, so it's time for an anthology title exploring what some of the less prominent members are doing there!

Ms. Marvel Annual #1

Mon, September 8th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Spider-Man vs. Ms. Marvel vs. transforming robots vs. mediocrity.

Secret Six #1

Sun, September 7th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

"Secret Six" graduates to an ongoing series, and so far is off to a solid start.

El Diablo #1

Sun, September 7th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

A strong debut for Jai Nitz and Phil Hester's spirit of vengeance.

Jonah Hex #35

Sun, September 7th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Another great "Jonah Hex" artist showcase, this time with J. H. Williams III

X-Men Origins: Beast #1

Fri, September 5th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza

"X-Men Origins" continues with the story of the Beast before he joined the X-Men. We've seen pieces in flashback, but this story is set completely in flashback and takes Hank McCoy out of the ordinary world.

Amazing Spider-Man #570

Wed, September 3rd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Anti-Venom strikes, and it doesn't look good for Spidey.

Dead of Night Featuring Devil-Slayer #1

Wed, September 3rd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

A solid first issue, but no actual Devil-Slayer yet.

Wolverine: First Class #6

Tue, September 2nd, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza

Mon, September 1st, 2008 | By James Hunt

Votes are cast in the "DMZ" election, and everyone might just be shocked by what happens next -- by Wood and Burchielli

Sat, August 30th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Bendis continues to write the best Spider-Man comic on the stands.

Ambush Bug: Year None #2

Fri, August 29th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

It's great to see Giffen drawing the irreverent Ambush Bug again, but this issue's not all that funny.

Short-Tempered Melancholic and Other Stories

Thu, August 28th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

This collection of Arina Tanemura's early short stories is fun and frothy, as well as a good reminder that not all stories need to run for hundreds or thousands of pages.

Immortal Iron Fist #18

Thu, August 28th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Even with the loss of Brubaker, Fraction, and Aja, "The Immortal Iron Fist" is worth reading.

New Avengers #44

Wed, August 27th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Reed Richards sort of stars in this "Secret Invasion" tie-in.

Wolverine #68

Wed, August 27th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Mark Millar's "Unforgiven" meets "Mad Max" romp in the future Marvel U gets better with each issue.

Grant Morrison provides the secret history of the DC Universe via Supermen.

The Flash #243

Tue, August 26th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza

Tom Peyer and Freddie Williams II draw their chapter of the life and times of Wally West (and family) to a close in a showdown in Gorilla City, but not all of the characters leave this issue in the same state they start it.

Treasury of XXth Century Murder: The Lindbergh Child

Tue, August 26th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

Rick Geary branches out from the Victorian Era to tell the story of the kidnapping of the Lindbergh Baby, and in doing so does justice to one of the creepier potentially-unsolved murders of the 20th century.

Family Dynamic #1

Mon, August 25th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza

Hidden beneath the banner of a Johnny DC title, this book is not a book for kids, but rather a story for ALL AGES! Family, legacy and super-heroics await behind a Sean Galloway cover.

Trinity #12

Mon, August 25th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

"Trinity" marches on, relentlessly, and with a flair for the average.

Marvel 1985 #4

Mon, August 25th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Millar's work on the outskirts of the Marvel mainstream continues to shine.

X-Factor Special: Layla Miller #1

Sun, August 24th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

This second "X-Factor Special" takes a break from the regular title's narrative, but in such a way that will make the comic's fans not care about spending an extra dollar.

Captain America #41

Sun, August 24th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Faustus goes rogue and Bucky Barnes jumps into action.

Final Crisis: Legion Of Three Worlds #1

Sun, August 24th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie

George Perez draws not one, not two, but THREE Legions. And Geoff Johns writes a pretty nifty story.

Moon Knight #21

Fri, August 22nd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

"The Death of Marc Spector" begins, but it's not a great start.

Air #1

Fri, August 22nd, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

The first issue of "Air" drops, and seems determined to mystify and stall its readers. But in today's market, is that really a smart thing?

Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. #32

Fri, August 22nd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

This Iron Man title seems out of step with the character. It's a slow story that doesn't move the football a yard down the field.

Young X-Men #5

Thu, August 21st, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

The first story arc of "Young X-Men" comes to a close, but we're still nowhere near getting to know these characters.

The Punisher #61

Thu, August 21st, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

After five years of Garth Ennis' run on the mature readers version of "The Punisher," a new writer comes on board, and the end result is unsurprising in its disappointment.

Ghost Rider #26

Wed, August 20th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Jason Aaron's "Ghost Rider" borders on the absurd, but is a well-crafted dose of insanity hidden in a corner of Marvel's publishing program.

Incredible Hercules #120

Wed, August 20th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza

Drawing a close the "Sacred Invasion", Hercules and his God Squad are finally able to go face-to-face with the Skrulls' gods â€" Sl'gur't and Kly'bn -- in a hard-hitting adventure.

Franklin Richards: Summer Smackdown! #1

Mon, August 18th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

Marc Sumerak and Chris Eliopoulos' latest "Franklin Richards" one-shot is so funny, you'll be begging for more.

Young Liars #6

Mon, August 18th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Danny's journey gets stranger and stranger, but what does the weirdness add up to?

Last Defenders #6

Sun, August 17th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

Kyle Richmond's new team is reality's greatest hope. Or is it?

Booster Gold #11

Sun, August 17th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

Chuck Dixon's two-issue story of time-traveling consequences is entertaining, but after last month's issue, couldn't have possibly happened at a worst possible time.

King-Size Spider-Man Summer Special #1

Sun, August 17th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza

The opening page says it all, "Warning! The following stories did not really happen! ( . . . unless you just want to read a few fun stories. Then these count.)"

Final Crisis: Revelations #1

Sat, August 16th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

Greg Rucka returns to his creation Crispus Allen, in what feels like an attempt to better define the role of the Spectre.

Action Comics #868

Fri, August 15th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

The new Brainiac. Same as the old Brainiac, but beefier.

Batman #679

Fri, August 15th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie

Morrison's "Batman" run is heading into the homestretch, with plenty of weird but fascinating pieces put into position.

Wonder Woman #23

Fri, August 15th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan

"Ends of the Earth" wraps up with plenty of fire and brimstone, but not enough heart.

Astonishing X-Men #26

Thu, August 14th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

Warren Ellis gets up to full speed on "Astonishing X-Men" while Simone Bianchi already begins to run out of gas.

Manhunter #33

Thu, August 14th, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza

"Forgotten" sinks its hooks deeper into the DCU as Kate Spencer continues to live the DC equivalent of Kevin Bacon, touching characters from the DCU as varied as Oracle and Phantom Lady.

Halo: Uprising #3

Thu, August 14th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie

"Halo: Uprising" adds a new twist to the Halo universe, with a surprisingly moving and authentic piece of storytelling work. Bendis and Maleev play to their strengths here.

NYX: No Way Home #1

Thu, August 14th, 2008 | By James Hunt

After a long break, the NYX kids pick up shortly after where they left off, with the new creative team of Marjorie Liu and Kalman Andrasofszky.

The Buy Pile

Thu, February 4th | Hannibal Tabu
