The Mighty #12

January 11th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan

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

Punishermax #2

December 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Punishermax" is almost like reading a mature readers "Ultimate Kingpin" origin, but in this case I'm offering that up as a compliment.

Punishermax #1

November 12th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

The first issue of this new volume doesn’t run from the Ennis problem, confronting it head on while delivering a great read.

The Mighty #10

November 7th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

The secret origin of Alpha One revealed. Spoiler: His evil is nothing new, and this comic is very good.

Punisher: Frank Castle #75

October 19th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

The series comes to an end with a collection of short tales, some of which are much better than others.

Die Hard: Year One #1

September 30th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

Fans of “Die Hard” may want to stay away from this slow, disjointed first issue. Unless they like overwritten captions that seem completely unnecessary.

Unknown Soldier #11

August 29th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

This issue doesn't quite come together as well as the last few, but it's probably the calm before the storm.

Punisher: Frank Castle #73

August 19th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

An absurd and funny premise that’s killed by overly serious writing that doesn’t bring the funny. Victor Gischler does a Garth Ennis plot without asking how Ennis would write it.

The Mighty #7

August 6th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

This is becoming more and more of a horror comic, and it's quite good.

The Mighty #6

July 6th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

I was worried "The Mighty" might lose steam with the loss of Peter Snejbjerg, but it's just as, um, mighty as ever.

Unknown Soldier #8

June 6th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"Unknown Soldier" started off with a strong debut, but the problem of setting the title in a real-world situation is starting to show.

The Mighty #4

May 6th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

This certainly isn't your father's "Superman."

100 Bullets #100

April 15th, 2009 | By Benjamin Birdie

The violent tragedy of 100 Bullets comes to an end, ten years after it began, with its creators in firm control over the lives and endings of their characters.

Punisher: Frank Castle #68

March 10th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Swierczynski gives us very little Frank Castle in this issue, and the plot creeps forward.

The Mighty #2

March 7th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan

Snejbjerg's art looks great as the story begins to examine the obligations of the superhero.

The Mighty #1

February 6th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton

"The Mighty" is yet another "realistic" take on super-heroes, but this first issue is a cut above most.

Punisher: Frank Castle MAX #66

January 21st, 2009 | By Chad Nevett

So, you can buy this comic or you can read the solicitation for this comic. They’re pretty much the same thing, except the comic has some lovely art.

G. I. Joe #1

January 15th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza

Knowing is half the battle, and reading is a way to win that battle. Click on in to find out what you can expect in this latest attempt to relaunch the G. I. Joe comic franchise.

100 Bullets #95

September 15th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie

As "100 Bullets" draws closer to its end, its creators continue to surprise with stories that are a little less grandiose than you might expect.

The Punisher #61

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.

100 Bullets #91

May 22nd, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie

"100 Bullets" is comics' least talked about great book. Now nearing its end, the storyline is kicking into high gear with an expanded scope.

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...]
