Torch #5
February 7th, 2010 | By Timothy Callahan
If this issue were a children's storybook, it would be called "Too Many Torches!"
Detective Comics #861
January 31st, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
Jock steps in to draw three issues of "Detective Comics," and Rucka's script matches his new artist perfectly.
Fables #92
January 24th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
"Fables" goes for one of its patented side-stories, but this time the result is a little underwhelming.
Joe the Barbarian #1
January 21st, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
"Joe the Barbarian" is off to a slightly slow start, but given the gist of the series, it makes sense.
Saga of the Swamp Thing Book One
December 30th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Alan Moore's American debut is still one of the best comics ever published in this country.
Detective Comics #860
December 26th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
This may be the last great issue of "Detective Comics" for a while, but great it is.
Unwritten #8
December 15th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
When does an innocent belief in fiction cross the line into delusion? That’s what the latest “Unwritten” asks, but the answer is undercut by the book’s larger narrative somewhat.
Strange #2
December 7th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
For a character that no one post-Steve Ditko has made terribly interesting, Mark Waid and Emma Rios are giving their best shot.
Detective Comics #859
November 26th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Pound for pound, the best superhero comic being published right now.
Strange #1
November 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The cover says it all, "The Doctor is out!" Indeed. No longer flaunting his pedigree, Stephen Strange finds a new adventure in this limited series by Mark Waid and Emma Rios.
Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love #1
November 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
This "Fables" spin-off mini-series is off to a fun start, but it's a shame no one thought to better coordinate it with the parent title.
Detective Comics #858
October 30th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
As though I needed to develop a man-crush on a comic book artist. This issue is crush-inducing, so read at your own risk.
Detective Comics #857

Williams, Stewart, Hamner, McCaig... best looking superhero comic you’re going to find on the shelves.
The Unwritten #5
September 12th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
An exploration of the career of Rudyard Kipling as it relates to Tom Taylor who doesn’t appear in this issue at all. Don’t worry, you won’t miss him.
The Torch #1
September 2nd, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
I'm a page that fell out of a different book. There's nothing I can do. No context for me." So speaks Toro – Tom Raymond – to a Vision of a different stripe. Everything old is new again.
Detective Comics #856
August 29th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
J. H. Williams III continues his amazing artistic performance on the lead Batwoman story. The Question back-up is completely skippable.
Fables #87
August 14th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
With the big crossover behind it, "Fables" has definitely found its mojo again.
The Unwritten #4
August 13th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Mike Carey increases the suspense, the horror, and the mystery in this very good Vertigo series.
House of Mystery #16
August 10th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
After last issue's explosion of plot, "House of Mystery" suddenly slows to a crawl, but with a thoroughly enjoyable story-within-a-story.
Detective Comics #855
July 29th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
J.H. Williams III. Cully Hamner. Best drawn superhero comic book you’re going to see this month. Guaranteed.
The Unwritten #3
July 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
What does “Frankenstein” have to do with Tom Taylor’s quest to find out his true identity? A lot more than you’d think, as this issue begins to show just what this fantastic new series is all about.
Detective Comics #854
June 25th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Sometimes, it really is worth the wait.

House of Mystery #13
May 17th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"House of Mystery" takes a brief detour to its old horror anthology roots, and while it's entertaining enough, regular readers of the new "House of Mystery" might be slightly frustrated.
The Unwritten #1
May 13th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
An incredibly strong debut that will only set you back a buck. Buy this comic!

"The Great Fables Crossover" begins not with a bang, but more of a thud.

"House of Mystery" continues to get better every issue, as it offers up answers at a surprising rate, while still generating new questions.
Seaguy: Slaves of Mickey Eye #1
April 1st, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Seaguy is back with Lucky El Lorro in tow for more adventures of the mind-bending variety. It’s been five long years, but the wait was worth it.
Top 10 Season Two #4
March 11th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Top 10 Season Two" supposedly hits the end of the mini-series, but this certainly doesn't feel like the end of the "season."
Jack of Fables #31
February 27th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Jack of Fables" has all the right elements and ideas, but there's still something that just isn't clicking.
X-Men Origins: Sabretooth #1
February 16th, 2009 | By James Hunt
Kieron Gillen and Dan Panosian examine the origin of Wolverine and Sabretooth’s mutual hatred.
Eternals #7
January 8th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
This comic should be better than it is with some really dynamic and intelligent ideas, but the execution is very, very bland.

December 22nd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
The mystery of the alien invasion deepens, and the hits keep on comin'.
Fables #78
November 12th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
Bill Willingham shows that "Fables" still has life in it after the war, as things proceed to get nasty for our heroes in a very rapid way.
Sandman: The Dream Hunters #1
November 5th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
Ten years after Neil Gaiman originally wrote the "Sandman: The Dream Hunters" novella, P. Craig Russell adapts it into comics, and the end result makes it feel brand new all over again.

Zander Cannon and Gene Ha return to "Top 10" and show that they can step into Alan Moore's shoes quite admirably.
Eternals #5
October 5th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Acuna's art still astonishes, but the story barely inches along even after five issues.

September 22nd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Meet the Beatles, sort of, but as superheroes!
Fables #75
September 20th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton

July 18th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
The series concludes. Soldiers die. The war goes on.
Eternals #2
July 11th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
More exposition and set-up with only the vaguest hint of plot progression.
House of Mystery #3
July 3rd, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
The story-within-a-story for "House of Mystery" still doesn't seem to fit with the greater whole, but it's hard to complain when the main story is so entertaining.
Eternals #1
June 10th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Beautiful Acuna art, but the story's not quite there yet. It's still setting itself up, even after the Neil Gaiman mini-series.
House of Mystery #1
May 9th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Part bizarre mystery, part anthology series, all Vertigo-style horror.
Captain Marvel #5
April 19th, 2008 | By James Hunt
Captain Marvel finally recovers his memories as the series turns out to be far more of a Secret Invasion prologue than you might’ve expected. Brian Reed writes, with Lee Weeks pencilling.
