Stark, simple, strong -- both in the art and the narrative.
R.E.B.E.L.S. #11

October 9th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
When Grant Morrison wrote "JLA," Starro was one of the first characters he pitched across his League. In doing so, Morrison elevated the character of Starro. Bedard builds upon that elevation and delivers a great read.

September 8th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Sweet Tooth" has promise, but it's off to an awfully slow start.

The Amazing Spider-Man #600
July 21st, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
If you always wanted to see Hydro-Man escape via toilet, then this book is for you. Of course, the fact that this thing clocks in at 100 pages might interest you too. Oh, and Octo-hostages, but no Octo-mom.

Wednesday Comics #1
July 8th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Art is king in DC’s new 12-issue weekly series that recalls the Sunday comics pages, using a broadsheet format. 15 pages of gorgeous art on giant pages. Not too shabby.
