Miskatonic, a brand new first issue, published by a relatively new publisher. In the vein of Lovecraft Country, comes a period story, revolving around the Arkham and Cthulu lore. In the board game world, having Cthulu in your game is almost a staple and now it seems to be bleeding into other mediums as well. …
When it comes to cops and criminals, the Catwoman DC series hasn’t touched on that side very often. Selina Kyle has been seen going up against other criminals or baddies from Batman’s rogue gallery, but for the most part, the cops are rarely involved. This new run, written by Ram V is a bit of …
It’s always great to see a writer develop a new character and make him or her memorable with an agenda. That’s how I feel about Commander Zahra, a once-promising protégé of Grand Moff Tarkin, Zahra blames Leia for the destruction of the Death Star, and Tarkin’s subsequent demise. In her mind, she has been planning …
I have always been a fan of Spider-Woman. What they did with her during Secret Invasion was a turn for the character and one that has made her more three-dimensional. However, after that, there hasn’t really been a reason to pick up her solo book because no writer seems to want to flesh her out. …
The one thing I can say about writer, Kelly Thompson is that she has a superb way of setting up a story and creating mystery. As she delves into her stories and creates the narrative, the first issues or two are mostly very good. (Of course, she has her off-days like that terrible issue about …

I only have one word to describe Darth Vader #6 – Bold. Greg Pak is definitely taking a bold stance in this issue regarding one of the world’s most revered villains, and I find myself torn by it. This entire run takes place between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, so whenever they …
When sci-fi goes into military strategies, where commanders are going to head-to-head, it’s always been interesting to me. This issue takes the reader into this type of battle. Leia versus Zahra, a woman who blames the rebel leader for Tarkin’s death. Though Tarkin wasn’t exactly nice to Zahra as she came up the ranks, he …
This has been the year of thick $5.00 to $8.00 Batman books with short stories galore from various writers and artists…and truthfully, I’m kind of over it. We’ve been celebrating Batman’s anniversary along with his sidekicks and villains now for the entire year. It reminds me of Mickey’s birthday land where he celebrated his birthday …
I’ve been reading Red Sonja by Dynamite for as long as they’ve owned the character. Like any comic, the title has had its ups and downs. Some have been pretty decent and others – not so much. The artwork has never been stellar and the story arc they are currently telling has been going on …
Let me start with the art of Batman The Three Jokers. The art by Jason Fabok is simply amazing. He really understands these characters and knows how to make each frame jump off the page. He doesn’t try to overly stylize the characters into something new. He, instead, attempts to pay homage to the characters …
