Justice League: Generation Lost #1: Ooh, Do I Hate You, Maxwell Lord
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: May 14, 2010
Confession time: I’m kind of going into this blind. When Justice League International broke up in 1994 in a Zero Hour tie-in, I was seven and turning my nose up at anything that wasn’t a back issue of West Coast Avengers (don’t judge me!). Before today, my knowledge of JLI was limited to the group [...]
The Duck Knight Returns: Darkwing Duck Preview!
Posted by: Maggie_C on: April 28, 2010
Christmas came early this year! This morning, I woke up to a five page preview of BOOM! Studios‘ upcoming Darkwing Duck title. I’ve been a little nervous ever since the miniseries was announced because this thing has the potential to completely ruin my childhood. I needn’t have worried. Darkwing is safe under the stewardship of [...]
Kill Shakespeare #1: Kids Who Enjoyed Junior Year English, Rejoice!
Posted by: Maggie_C on: April 13, 2010
The soaring popularity of Alan Moore‘s League of Extraordinary Gentleman and Vertigo’s Fables has inspired a slew of seeming copycats, enough that at this point the meta-literary comic could be given its own sub-genre. This month, IDW offers up Anthony Del Col & Conor McCreery’s Kill Shakespeare, a story that “pits Shakespeare’s greatest heroes against [...]
The Green Hornet #1: Not Your Grandpa’s Hornet
Posted by: Robert Bazz on: March 4, 2010
About six months ago I got into this weird Bruce Lee phase where I pretty much fell asleep watching Enter the Dragon every night. After tiring of that, I went around checking out his other projects, eventually watching a bit of him on the 1966 TV show, The Green Hornet. At the conclusion of the [...]
“The Doktor Will See You Now” – Doktor Sleepless Volume 1: Engines of Desire
Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: January 7, 2010
In a world so distinctly sci-fi as Doktor Sleepless, Warren Ellis has found one hell of a twist on this Philip K. Dick meets Chuck Palahniuk vision of the future. If you have ever mused to yourself, “We live in the future. Where is my jet pack?” then you should know Warren Ellis feels the [...]
Wall-E #1: “And Now Let the Wild Rumpus Begin!”
Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: December 20, 2009
When I was a small child, my favorite book was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. I loved this book for the pictures. I didn’t especially relate to a wild-child having a tantrum and being sent to his room. I did not own a wolf suit. I had certainly never been across a [...]

Comic Book Self Awareness Part 1: The Unfunnies
Posted by: Preston Wheatley on: March 24, 2010
“Mark Millar” is a name recognizable to anybody who reads modern comics. One cannot deny his enormous impact due to works like Marvel’s Ultimate Universe or the acclaim he has received for works like Kick-Ass. Enter a little-read title from my favorite indie publisher Avatar Press called The Unfunnies. I’m not sure whether to laud [...]
