By: J.T. Krul (writer), Fabrizio Fiorentino (artist), Kyle Ritter & Ander Zarate (colorists) The Story: Wow Boston—we’re so close now, it’s like you’re in me.

Soulfire #2 – Review

Posted on August 2, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: J.T. Krul (writer), Jason Fabok (artist), John Starr (colorist) The Story: Aw, shucks, Onyx—can’t we all just try to get along? The Review: Probably Krul’s most self-defeating weakness is his inability to deliver a story that reaches beyond the expected or cliché.  While the source material for Soulfire seems like it never had much [...]

Posted on June 21, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: J.T. Krul (writer), Jason Fabok (penciller), John Starr (colorist) The Story: With all that magic, you’d think you’d be able to whip up a meal that isn’t vodka.

Posted on June 15, 2011 by Minhquan Nguyen

By: J.T. Krul (writer), Mikel Janin (artist), Ulises Arreola (colorist) The Story: Ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be amazed, dazzled, and inhumanly butchered! The Review: When it comes to superhero team-ups, you have your classics (Batman and Superman) and your unexpectedly potent combos (Oracle and Black Canary), while the rest fall somewhere between predictable and [...]

By: J.T. Krul (writer), Georges Jeanty (penciller), Rob Hunter (inker), Jason Wright (colorist) The Story: These exploding Calculator robots are really harshing these Turkish clubbers’ buzz.

By: J.T. Krul (writer), Nicola Scott (artist), Doug Hazelwood (inker)   The Story: Bruised Egos: Batman (Dick Grayson) has Robin (Damian Wayne) join the Teen Titans.

Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal #1

Posted on March 26, 2010 by DS Arsenault

By: J.T. Krul (writer), Geraldo Borges (artist), Marlo Alquiza (inker) What’s Good: J.T. Krul’s name on the cover and Greg Horn’s cover art! These immediately drew me in, but from the first page, Geraldo Borges’ pencils blew me away. I haven’t seen his work before, but it’s well-proportioned, supple, fluid, and textured. In other words, [...]

Titans #15 – Review

Posted on July 17, 2009 by DS Arsenault

By J.T. Krul (writer), Jose Luis (artist), J.P. Mayer (inker) The Stories: The Titans are in a bit of a strange place right now. They finished the appallingly bad Deathstrike storyline too early to jump into Blackest Night right away, so they’re doing a bunch of 1-issue solo stories. In this issue, we see Tempest [...]
