My pull list is way too long, so it seems like every week there are a few comics that neither I (nor any of my WCBR colleagues) has time to review thoroughly, but it still seems fair to give them the praise (or scorn) they deserve. Skull-Kickers #3 – I was a little hard on [...]

Welcome to a new feature here at WCBR, which will hopefully resurface periodically. Here we highlight series that we reviewers feel are not getting the readers, or the attention, that they deserve. These are books that we’ve been particularly enjoying. These are DC/Marvel books that should be in the top ten, or at least the [...]

by Jason Aaron (writer), R.M. Guera (art), Giulia Brusco (colors), and Steve Wands (letters) The Story: Dash and Carol begin two very different kinds of drug rehab.

Marvel sent us a sneak peak of Ghost Rider #22 due out in comic stores on 4/16/08. Issue #22 continues Jason Aaron’s (Scalped) run as the series writer. From what I’ve heard of previous issues, it sounds like Aaron’s twisted Ghost Rider’s mythos around making him an agent of heaven (which kinda makes sense if [...]

By Jason Aaron (writer), Ron Garney (artist), Jason Keith (colors) After a very rocky debut, Jason Aaron and Ron Garney unleash their second collaborative effort with Wolverine #63.

By Jason Aaron (writer), Ron Garney (art), Jason Keith (colors) A little rant before I begin. Wolverine has to be a Skrull. He’s in Europe in Uncanny X-Men, Afghanistan in his own book, New York in New Avengers, Running around X-Force in their book, and off in space in Astonishing X-Men. There’s no way he [...]
