By Warren Ellis (writer), John Cassady (artist), Laura Depuy (colorist) Planetary is the greatest comic book you’re not reading. I can say that with confidence because the last issue came out almost three years ago, and the final issue still has yet to be released. Until that fateful day arrives though, DC is using the [...]

By Tim Seeley (Writer), Emily Stone (Art), and Mark Englert (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve made no secret about the fact that I’m quite a fan of the Hack/Slash formula.

By Fred Van Lente (writer) Paulo Siqueria (pencils), Amilton Santos (inks) Jeremy Cox (colors) After reading almost a year’s worth of Amazing Spider-Man (ASM) in the “Brand New Day Era,” I have come this conclusion: Plot-driven ASM stories are terrible (just look at the “Character Assassination” arc that wrapped up last week), while issues that [...]

By Dan Slott (writer), Khoi Pham (artist), Allen Martinez and Danny Miki (inkers) Even as I grew to despise Bendis’s writing over the years, I was always willing to give him a chance when it came to The Avengers because they have long been a favorite team of mine since childhood.

By Josh Blaylock (Writer), Matt Merhoff (Pencils), and Bill Crabtree (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: The first two issues of Mercy Sparx hinted that there may be quite a bit of depth to the new series beyond the slick concept of a devil-girl hunting rogue angels.

By Brian Reed (Writer), Patrick Oliffe (Pencils), Serge LaPointe and Livesay (Inks), and Chris Sotomayor (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve been a fan of the Ms. Marvel series for a while now, but the “Ascension” arc has left me pretty disappointed.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably wondering, “Where the heck did these guys go?!” Well, we’ve missed you guys too.

By Joshua Ortega (Writer), Liam Sharp (Artist), and Jonny Rench (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: Being a fan of the Xbox 360 series, the Gears of War comics are something of a guilty pleasure for me.

Let’s get this straight, THIS IS NOT ALAN MOORE’S WATCHMEN. With that said, this movie– this story, cannot be “Alan Moore good.” And we all knew this once word got out that there were changes made. However, Zack Snyder still does a pretty good job staying faithful to the book by capturing the dystopia that [...]

Batman: Gotham After Midnight #11 – Review
By Steve Niles (Writer), Kelly Jones (Art), and Michelle Madsen (Colors) Some Thoughts Before The Review: I’ve been enjoying the Gotham After Midnight series almost entirely because of the ridiculously unique artwork provided by Kelly Jones and Michelle Madsen. While the story isn’t necessarily bad or anything, it’s definitely overshadowed by the art. It helps [...]
