Action Comics #4 – Review

By: Too many to list—check out the review. The Story: Man of Steel, meet Man in Steel. The Review: I’ve become a bit wary of DC’s backup and co-features over time.  The fact they hang on to a bigger, stronger storyline definitely poses some drawbacks.  Only rarely do they have a charm and intrigue of [...]

Heroes for Hire #12 – Review

By: Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning (writer), Brad Walker (artist), Andrew Hennessy (inker), Jay David Ramos (colorist) The Story: Hero, are you for hire? We’ve got a job.

The Thanos Imperative #4 – Review

By Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (writers), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Jay David Ramos and Wil Quintana (color artists) I have cancer. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, to be exact.

The Thanos Imperative #1 – Review

By: Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning (writers), Miguel Sepulveda (artist), Jay David Ramos (color artist) Canadian comic book reviewers maintain bold opinions, despite Memorial Day in the US! News at 11.

Dark Reign: New Nation #1 – Review

Some Thoughts Before The Review: What it all comes down to regarding Dark Reign: New Nation is whether or not you feel comfortable plunking down about four bucks for what amounts to a handful of extended previews — some of which you already may have seen a bit of in last week’s Dark Reign one-shot [...]

Avengers: The Initiative #19 – Review

By Dan Slott & Christos N.

By Dan Slott and Christos N. Gage (writers), Harvey Tolibao (artist), and Jay David Ramos (color artist) Let’s start off with what is probably the biggest item from this issue for long-time readers of this series: Mutant Zero.

Iron Man: Director of SHIELD #33 – Review

By Christos N. Gage (Writer), Sean Chen (Penciler), Sandu Florea (Inker), and Jay David Ramos (Colors) I confess I haven’t read any comics with War Machine in them since… well, since before James Rhodes was War Machine. I mean, the guy is pretty much by definition a second-rate Iron Man, right? So why waste time and money? Well, this issue [...]
