By: Geoff Johns (writer), Jim Lee (penciller), Scott Williams (inker), Alex Sinclair (colorist) The Story: I have only one question—what happened to everybody’s underwear?

Posted on September 1, 2009 by DS Arsenault

Last weekend, I attended Fan Expo 2009 in Toronto, Canada, a convention featuring science fiction, comics, anime, horror, and games. I paid the most attention to the comics stream (obviously) and attended panels by five publishers and sat in on two sessions by Len Wein (creator of Wolverine, some of the New X-Men, Swamp Thing, [...]

Planetary #1: Special Edition – Review

Posted on March 30, 2009 by tonyrak

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 [...]

Final Crisis #1 (of 7) – Review

Posted on May 29, 2008 by Deamentia

By Grant Morrison, J.G. Jones, and Alex Sinclair As someone who’s not well versed in the DC Universe, I gotta say, this issue will do nothing but confuse and detract new readers to the DC line. The problem is so much of this story is entrenched in DC lore that it’s impossible for new (or [...]

Tiny Titans #1 – Review

Posted on February 18, 2008 by Deamentia

By Art Baltazar (writer, artist) & Franco (writer) I’m not sure why I bought this book. It just looked so odd and off the wall that I had to give it a try. Now, if you’re looking for a serious story line, you’re in the wrong place. Tiny Titans aims to do nothing more than [...]

Wonder Woman #14-16 – Review

Posted on January 27, 2008 by Deamentia

By: Gail Simone (Writer), Terry Dodson (Pencils), Rachel Dodson (Inks) I’ll admit, this is probably the first Wonder Woman story arc I’ve ever read. I’ve just never really been interested in her, but I love Terry Dodson’s art and I heard good things about Gail Simone so I figured I’d give it a shot. Guess [...]
