By: Brian Azzarello (writer), Cliff Chiang (artist), Matthew Wilson (colorist) The Story: Getting rid of the sibling is one way to cure sibling rivalry, I suppose The Review: Soldierhawk and I had this convo about Wonder Woman before, but I still think that the biggest reason why she has such iconographic status and yet doesn’t [...]

Wonder Woman #4 – Review

By: Brian Azzarello (writer), Cliff Chiang (artist), Matthew Wilson (colorist) The Story: Someone pop on some AC/DC and turn it up—Wonder Woman’s mourning.

By: Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning (writers), Gianluca Gugliotta (artist), Hi-Fi (colorist) The Story: What do we want?  Men’s rights!  When do we want it?  Now!

Flashpoint: Hal Jordan #2 – Review

By: Adam Schlagman (writer), Cliff Richards (artist), Allen Passalaqua (colorist) The Story: Snakes and planes! The Review: Last issue churned out so little noteworthy material that it produced my shortest review on record.  I’m usually never at a loss of what to say, but when the story gives so much plot and scenery that’s been [...]

By: Mike Carlin (writer), Rags Morales (penciller), Rick Bryant (inker), Nei Ruffino (colorist) The Story: We’re going to need a real big can of bug repellent The Review: Originality is hard to come by in fiction nowadays.  To even grasp at the tail end of novelty, writers need the guts to plunge into the weirdness [...]

Incredible Hercules #123 – Review

By Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente (writers), Clayton Henry and Salva Espin (artists), Raul Trevino (colorist) Is it just me, or has 2008 been the year that Marvel Comics finally did right by their B-list characters?  Incredible Hercules has by far been one of the most entertaining titles I’ve read this year, and I [...]

Wonder Woman #17 – Review

By Gail Simone (writer), Terry Dodson, Ron Randall (pencils), Rachel Dodson, Ron Randall (inks), Alex Sinclair, Pete Pantazis (colors) Gail Simone’s first story arc on Wonder Woman concludes this issue.
