Zot!: The Complete Black and White Collection
Tue, July 15th, 2008

Tue, July 15th, 2008
What hath Gog wrought?
Young X-Men #4
Tue, July 15th, 2008

Jim Shooter's run on "Legion of Super-Heroes" has spent seven issues moving towards this point, but the moment comes off surprisingly lackluster.

Firebreather #1

House of Mystery #3
Thu, July 3rd, 2008
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.
Batman #678
Thu, July 3rd, 2008
"Batman: R.I.P." goes down the proverbial rabbit hole, here, making Grant Morrison's "Batman" its strangest yet. At the same time, though, it's also at its most compelling.
