Posted on August 4, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Brian Azzarello (writer), Eduardo Risso (artist), Patricia Mulvihill (colorist) The Story: I would’ve staged an intervention for you, Martha, but they weren’t invented yet. The Review: While the bulk of DC’s alter-reality stories come under the Elseworlds imprint, Flashpoint and most of its tie-ins follow more of Marvel’s What If…? tradition, positing new continuities [...]

Posted on July 6, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Brian Azzarello (writer), Eduardo Risso (artist), Patricia Mulvihill (colorist) The Story: There’s only one way to hurt Batman’s feelings: keep him out of the loop.

Flashpoint: Batman – Knight of Vengeance #1 – Review

Posted on June 1, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: Brian Azzarello (writer), Eduardo Risso (artist), Patricia Mulvihill (colorist) The Story: And you said those mutants in the sewers were just an urban legend.

Strange Adventures – Review

Posted on May 28, 2011 by dfstell

By: Various (see below) The Story: A Vertigo anthology with a sci-fi bent.

Logan #3 (of 3) – Review

Posted on May 9, 2008 by pozzyfreak

Brian K. Vaughn (writer), Eduardo Risso (art), and Dean White (watercolors) Logan has been an odd miniseries right from the start. The whole story, while extremely interesting in concept, has been a letdown for me and probably could have been told in one double-sized issue as opposed to being stretched out. I understand why it [...]

By Brian K. Vaughan (writer), Eduardo Risso (art), Dean White (colors) After last issue’s stunning revelation of Wolverine hanging around Hiroshima near the end of World War II, I was very excited to see what would become of him and his new found woman.

Logan #1 – Review

Posted on March 7, 2008 by Deamentia

By Brian K. Vaughan (writer), Eduardo Risso (art), Dean White (colors) If it were anyone other than Brian K. Vaughan writing this book, I probably would have skipped it. Wolverine is just in too many comic books each month. When I saw this book solicited, I thought, “Do we really need another one of these?” [...]
